oIadstons's Speech For Irving.

Gladstone was great admirer OF
Sir Henry Irving, and this admiration
was shown one day in the house Of
commons. Irving was under the gal
lery in the house when suddenly, with
out apparent reason, Gladstone leaped
to his feet and delivered m i'm
FASHIONED speech, set off with all the
expression and dramatic gesture for
which he was so famous. The house
seemed surprised. Members looked at
one another and murmured, what is
the old man now up to-" They
thought II was some deep political
game. But week or two later a
friend of Irving's, encountering MIR.
Gladstone, mentioned the actors visit
to the house, and Gladstone eagerly
inquired: What did he think of my

The slowest creatures In creation are
snails and certain small beetles. Some
of them habitually move only foot or
two In an hour, but this slOwness Is
partly due to the fact that they remain

Mama For the sneoiaa.

A Texas statesman, who knows as
much about poker as he does about pol

does about poker. sat In little game In
New York one evening and became ex-
tremely annoyed, not to say peeved,
by the lamentations of man who was
losing. Finally one Of the other play
ers, also irritated by the constant wall,
told the loser:

Texan tartly "He's moan ologist."-

and beginning at 1890 a. m. was COM
pleted at IL o'clock Monday night.
Tuesday morning the report was made
to the court that the recount showed
that Mr.. Fielder had received 818 votes
and Mr. Bobier BIG; that exceptions had
been made to some 20 ballots, which
would be passed upon by the court. At
this juncture Mr.. Rogers, for his client,
announced that Mr.. Bobier's only de-
sire having been to assure himself that
an accurate count had been returned,
was satisfied to have judgment in favor
of Mr.. Fielder entered without further
argument. This was done and Mr..
Fielder declared the winner of the re-
count.
Both gentlemen are to be congratu-
lated on the amicable manner in which
the recount was conducted and the alb
sence from it of all bitterness.
The result of the recount shows that
the judges and clerks of the various
election boards made remarkably ac-
curate count. The only changes in the
votes were noted, as follows:

Commissioners Meeting

The Board of County Commissioners
met on Tuesday, Dec. 8, for the trans
action of the business of the December
session.
Aside from the usual grist of bills
allowed, the principal business of the
session was in connection with the vari-
GUS ferries maintained and operated by
the county.
A contract was let to John R. Bond.
of Cusick, to build new boat for the
Usk ferry for the sum of $500, and to
the Fairbanks-Morse Co. to furnish a
gasoline engine, cable and other neces-
sary fittings for the sum of $843. The
current at Usk is sluggish a large part
of the year, and it is found necessary
to use power, the cable being used to
keep the boat on it's course.
Commissioner Mathews was author
lied to proceed with the construction of
new catamaran boat for use at lone.
the current at that point having proven
too swift for the type of boat now in
use. The lone boat will be put into use
at Ruby.
The matter of making a new lease for
courthouse quarters was discussed, and
the commissioners are considering max
ing lease on the present quarters for
term of either three or five years.
day, Jan. 2, at which time the business
of the past year will be closed up. It
is desired that all bills for supplies and

the bridge is below the village of New
port, Idaho, and that the bridge at that
point would be of a great deal more
benefit to Newport, Wash, than to the
Idaho side. It is claimed that at least
two of the members-elect of the lower
house take similar position to that of
Senator-elect Defenbach, and that there
is no probability that the appropriation
bill will be introduced, let alone being
advocated by the county's contingent in
the legislature.
According to the Standpoint News Mr..
Defenbach stated:
my opposition to this bridge is
matter of location chiefly, although
also consider that it would be impossible
to get the legislature to appropriate
more than half the amount asked for,
or $4,000. l do not favor building
bridge so located that it will force all
crossing it to pass through the town of
Newport, Wash. to get to the town of
Newport, Idaho. 1t is the protective
tariff turned backward. not only will
not introduce bill for bridge in that
location, but I will not vote for it.
1t was said that at the conference
with the commissioners Senator-elect
Defenbach stated that he would appear

TOWN HALL BONDS VOTED
Majority of Nearly One Hundred
For Improvement
Three New Councilmen Elected

The town election on Tuesday passed
off very quietly, no particular effort be-
ing made to land either ticket, and de-
spite the rainy and disagreeable weather
269 votes were polled, about one-halt OF
the total registration within the lncor-
porated limits.
H. G. Murphy, John McKie and George
Hvnes were elected councilmen for a
two-vear term, Murphy and McK1e
running on the Peoples ticket, placed
in nomination last, and Hynes on the
Citizens ticket. The vote was as fol-
lows: H. G.. Murphy, 168; John McKie,
142; George Hynes, 129; DR.. }. W.
Tulles, 1926; E. J. Lutz, 116; l.. +.
Rowell, 112.
For town treasurer Chas. F. Bell had
a clean sweep. He was nominated on
the Citizens ticket, and endorsed by
the Peoples, and received a total Of
1872 votes.
On the matter of bonding the town
for the sum of $500, for the erection of
a new municipal building, the vote stood
176 to 81 in favor of the bonds. Three
fifth majority of all the votes cast were
necessary to carry the bonding issue
and it had 13 votes to spare.
The vote on the bond issue shows
that large majority of our citizens
are prepared to exhibit in municipal
affairs the same enterprise and desire
for improvement that is manifested in
their private affairs. Newport has struck
it's stride, and with the permanent loca-
tion of the county seat the advance of
the spirit of progress is being felt in all
lines.
The present town council met for
few minutes Tuesday evening, and ad-
journed until next Tuesday, when the
vote of the election will be canvassed
and the regular business transacted.
Voting of the bonds at this time of
the year enables the council to proceed
with the work of selling the bonds,
securing plans for the building and let
ing contracts preparatory to starting
work of construction early in the spring.

WILL CONFER ABOUT BRIDGE
Bonner Men Want Bridge On
Ferry Site.
10 Meet at Sandp point Wednesda,

Representative-elect S. J. Appleman
has taken up the matter of a joint con-
terence on the proposed Newport bridge
with Senator r-elect Defenbach. of Bonner
county, with the result that Mr.. Def
enbach writes that if the crossing can
be maintained at or near it's present
location, the expense of maintenance as
we'll as construction equally shared by
the two states, he will be glad to give
the matter careful and unprejudiced
consideration.
Mr.. Defenbach sets Wednesday, Dec.
IL, as the date for conference, to be
held at Standpoint, and Mr.. Appleman,
the local committee and others inter-
ested are asked to attend.
According to the Standpoint papers
there has been some opposition devel-
oped, on account of the fact that the
proposed site was not satisfactory to
Idaho people. The Pend Oreille Re-
view of last week contained the follow
ing:
Last spring the commissioners of
Bonner county met with the commits
sioners of Pend Oreille county, Wash,
and made bargain with a representa-
tive of the Pacific Coast Bridge Co, of
Portland, to furnish plans for a pro-
posed bridge connecting Newport, Idaho,
and Newport, Wash. A representative
of the bridge company was here Mon
day, and presented the plans and speci-
6cations of the company, including
soundings at the point where it was
proposed to build the bridge. The esti-
mated cost of the bridge was reported
to be 100000. 1t was the intention to
have bill introduced at the coming
session of the legislature for state aid
to the amount of $50, 900 from Idaho
and similar amount from Washington
for the construction of the bridge.
Senator-elect Defenbach took grounds
against the proposal, and announces he
will oppose bill seeking the state ap-
preparation, upon the grounds that $50,
600 is out of the question for state
appropriation, and upon the further
ground that the location proposed fol

SUPERIOR COURT IN SESSION
Fielder Wins Commissionership
BY Two Votes.
Murder Trial Will Start Monday

Judge D. H. Carey presided over a
session of the Superior Court on Monday
and Tuesday, during the course of which
several matters were disposed of and
preparations made for the jury term to
begin December 9.
The suit of Gus Anderson VS.. Kate
Anderson, for divorce, was continued
until Jan. ID, and that of Kellogg VS..
Sample to Jan. Is.
In the docket for the jury term of
next week Judge Carey found it advis-
able to make numerous changes. Case
of the State vs. Frank Broadwell, charged
with the murder of Joseph Matthews,
was set for Monday, the 9th, and stands
set for that date, but the case against
McRae, held jointly with Broadwell,
was continued until the next jury term,
as it would be impossible to try this
case before the same venire that heard
the Broadwell case.
The case of Kellum VS. Doane, in
which damages were sought for alleged
malpractice, was indefinitely postponed
and will likely never appear in court
again, as the defendant, DIR. Doane, of
Metaline, died last week.
The case of StateYs. Hunter, charged
with assault in the first degree, was set
forssDe IL and 13.
Underwood VS.. Miller and Owen VS..
Trask were continued until the next
jury term.
Marshal VS.. Trask, personal injury
case, was set for trial on Dec. IA.
Hoyer VS.. Stohr ct al was set for Dec.
16 and First State Bank VS.. Lund for
Dec. 18.
The matter of the recount of ballots
in the contest over the election for
commissioner for the First district of
Pend Oreille county, coming on for
hearing, Judge Carey appointed Auditor
Murray to judge the ballots, and w. A.
Sloan as teller for G. A. Fielder and J..
C. Harding for George H. Bobier. At
torney S. w. Rogers appeared on be-
half of Mr.. Bobier and A. S. Sherlock
for Mr.. Fielder.
The count was made in the jury room

S. w. ROGERS, Observer.

Henry Tweedie, of Tweedie, is very
much pleased over having had a we'll
drilled on his timothy ranch west of
Tweedie. Mr.. Tweedie is planning on
building new home, and selecting
site on high ground decided to try out
the water proposition. He secured the
Likely Bros. outfit from Penrith, and,
after drilling through 12O feet of solid
rock, they struck flow of water which
raised in the well to heighth of 80
feet, and all efforts to pump out the
supply failed to make any impression.
The experience of Mr.. Tweedie will
encourage others to follow suit, as it
furnishes evidence of a good under
ground supply of water.
