Library Lecture Course
Closes for this Season

Tn. ci.iz EMS course of library
lectures that have so well been
attended for the past three
months came to successful close
last night The lecturer of the
evening was Mr.. E U. Graft,
Superintendent of the Public
Schools Of Omaha. Mr.. Graft
spoke of the great value of the
library in the community and
especially Of the close relation
ship that should exist betwes n
the public library and the pub
lie schools. The 81 eaker had
the closest attention of his
large audience which was all in
numbers that the room would
accommodate.
One of the strong points
made by the lecturer was that
q Library may be of great pract-
ical value to every citizen pro-
vided he will avail himself of
his opportunity. He said that
the library should provide just
the reading matter that the
community demands and at the
same time be educating the
taste of the people for still bet.
ter things. He spoke very
highly of the course of lectures
the afternoon stories for the
children and the larger use of
library books by the high school
pupils.
Thus ends a course of lectures
that have been of great inter-
est and doubtless equally great
value.

Getting the Right Sort of Immigrants

A convention to consider the question
of immigration, as it will affect the Pa
cific Coast following the opening of the
Panama canal, has been called to meet
at Tacoma Feb. 22. The governors of
Washington, Oregon, California and
Idaho, also the lieutenant-governor of
Canada, have been invited. 1t is hoped
to secure the endorsement of the bill
introduced by United States Senator
Brown, to create Division of Informa-
ton under the direction of the Depart
ment of Commerce and Labor, the
function of which shall be to gather,
from all available sources, useful infor-
nation regarding the resources, pro-
ducts and characteristics of each state,
publish such information in the different
languages and distribute it among the
admitted aliens. The idea is to promote
a movement which will induce the right
sort of immigrants to come to the Pa
cifc Coast and then take care of them
when they get here.

HELD INSTRUCTIVE MEETING
School Directors Hear Interesting
Addresses.
Entertained by Newport People,

The first annual meeting of the school
directors of Pend Oreille county was
held at Newport Tuesday. The sessions
were held in the new Fielder Opera
House, the towns latest addition to its
facilities for handling assemblages of
this character.
The meeting was conducted by two
of the strongest educational men in the
state, Henry B. Dewey, of Olympia,
state superintendent of public instruc-
ton, and N. D. Showalter, principal of
the State Normal School at Cheney.
About thirty of the school directors
of the county were in attendance, also
number Of Newport teachers and
townspeople interested in educational
work Supt. Dewey informed County
Supt. Miss Soules that, while he had
held larger meetings in the older and
more populous counties of the state, the
meeting of Tuesday was surpassed by
none when the viewpoint of interest
shown is considered.
The addresses of both gentlemen were
full of suggestions for the improvement
of present school conditions. Mr.. Sho-
walter treated the relation of the direc-
tors to the schools and the community
in a manner calculated to bring about
new ideas of the purposes for which we
elect people to look after our educa-
cational system. Mr.. Dewey's principal
topic was the teaching of agriculture
and drmestic science in the schools. He
told of results that had been achieved
elsewhere in the state by interesting
pupils in these lines Of work, and
strongly advised special attention to
these branches in the country schools.
Both gentlemen illustrated their talks
with photographs, showing schools
under model conditions, and charts
showing the growth of the. state
along educational lines. A strong ap-
peal was made for the improvement of
school buildings and grounds and
business-like administration of affairs.
In the evening the entertainment of
the visitors was looked after by New
port business men and their ladies. A

counties of Bonner and Pend Oreille at
Newport, Washington, except by cable
ferry, which is a dangerous means of
conveyance and wholly inadequate to
handle the large amount Of traffic with
which it is at present taxed.
Newport, on the Washington side, is
the market and trading point of a large
and we'll settled agricultural territory
in Idaho, making it necessary for all
persons on the Idaho side to market
their produce in this expensive and
cumbersome manner.
The large mills of the Fidelity Lum-
ber Co. are also situate on the Idaho
side, while most of the laborers en-
ployed in said mills reside in Newport,
making it necessary for them to cross
and re-cross the river each day on the
ferry.
The territory on each side of the Pend
Oreille river at this point is rich agri-
cultural section, and its growth and de-
velopment is greatly impeded and re-
tarded because of the lack of proper
traffic facilities across the said river at
this point; and it has become necessary
and imperative that this inconvenience
be eliminated if the territory above re-
ferred to is to develop, progress and in
crease in valuation.
The cost of maintenance and opera
tion of the ferry is large, two men be-
ing required to operate it. Much trou-
bic is experienced in the winter time in
maintaining the service, and often it is
necessary to suspend the same because
of the ice.
A wagon bridge constructed at this
point would remedy very efectually the
present difficulty, and would be of in
calculable benefit to the territory served;
and,
Whereas, the aforementioned coun-
ties interested are not financially able
to provide this necessity, now be it
Resolved, That we, the County Com
missioners of Bonner county, Idaho, and
of Pend Oreille county, Washington,
jointly petition the legislatures of our
respective states for appropriations to
construct proper wagon bridge across
the Pend Oreille river at Newport,
Washington, connecting the said states
and counties; also that we petition the
War Department of the United States
for permission to construct the same,
and that copy of this resolution be
submitted to the state legislature of
Idaho, the state legislature of Wash
ington, and the War Department of the
United States.

Board Considers Ferry Applications

The Pend Oreille county board of
commissioners has been in session since
tuesday morning, and practically all of
that time has been put in on the con-
sidering of applications for free public
ferries.
Bids were received for the installa-
ton OF free ferry to be built at lone,
the county to pay cost of operation.
The bids ranged as high as $3828 for the
complete outfit. Owing to the varia-
ton in specifications the board rejected
all bids except the building of the ferry
boat, which was let to C. H. Heintze
and George Brown, of lone, for the sum
of $4O7. Some alterations will be made
IN the specifications, and the board
hopes to be able to contract the entire
work for about $500.
At Blueslide U. S. Anderson has the
matter of installing a ferry we'll under
way, and the board is asked to contrib
ute toward the cost, a request which is
being considered favorably.
People in the vicinity of Ruby are
also anxious for facilities for crossing
the rivor, and Mr.. A. L. Nourse, who
presented their petition, has started the
circulation of subscription list toward
the expense, and the matter of contrib
uting to same will be considered by the
board at the March meeting. The Ruby
and Blueslide ferries to be operated
without expense to the county.
Usk also wants a ferry built and
maintained at that place, and petition
to that effect has been presented to the
board, asking for help in establishing
the ferry. A private application for
ferry franchise at Lenora has also been
presented to the board.
