NEW YORK MEN ALERT.

New York-The executive board OF
the New York State Federation of Labor
met at Albany on December 13 and form
ulated legislative program on num-
ber of labor subjects of very meri-
torious character. Among the many
measures it decided to champion before
the next legislature, the following are
deserving of special mention. A work
mems compensation act, modelled on the
lines of the compensation act passed by
the legislature of Washington on March
IA, 1911. which also includes a compul-
sorry insurance provision-the Washing
ton act was framed to meet the bjec-
ton of the New York supreme court, in
which 1t declared that the former New
York act took property without due
process of law. The Washington act is
considered by students to be the most
comprehensive and complete yet devised
in the United States. for the purpose
of compensating workmen suffering from
industrial injuries. The executive board
also decided to favor a bill creating a
state-owned and operated printing Of
fee; an amendment to the metal polish
ing law prohibiting females and minors
to be SO employed; an amendment to
the state eight-hour law, extending 1t to
the manufacture of all building material;
an amendment to the conspiracy law, SO
as to permit all lawful combinations; n
bill prohibiting detective agencies from
supplying employees where strikes or
lockouts are known to exist; an amend
ment to the garnishee law, raising the
wage limit from 1890 to $1,000 per
week; a bill prohibiting the employment

Receiver In Charge.

W. M. Anderson, of North Yakima,
the newly appointed receiver for the
Newport telephone exchange arrived
Saturday and took charge of the sys-
tenn. He is now engaged in straighten-
ing out the tangled affairs.
Under the new arrangement the In
terstate lines will be disconnected from
the local exchange within a few days
and Supt. Fisher, of the latter COM
pany was in town Saturday looking for
new location for their local office.
Mr.. Wuerth, representative of the
Pacific States Co., addressing the :town
council Tuesday evening, stated that
local telephone affairs would soon be
satisfactorily settled and that Newport
would receive the best service in it's
history; service in line with the pro-
gressive measures being undertaken by
the town at this time.

Arcadia Company Busy.

The Arcadia Orchards Company,
which is doing the big development
work in the Deer Park neighborhood,
last fall made numerous water filings
on the creeks flowing into the Calispell
valley and has had men at work inves-
tigating that section much of the time
for year past. During the past week
the company has had recorded a num-
ber of quit claim deeds to water loca-
tions on these streams made prior to
their own filings.
When the original filings were made
by the Arcadia people the location
notices stated that the intention of the
company was to carry the water by
ditch and fume to the Deer Park country,
distance of some forty miles. This
declaration of intention is strongly
doubted by those familiar with the cir
cumstances. While there is an abun-
dance of water to irrigate the rich
bench lands surrounding the Calispel
Valley it is extremely doubtful that
there is volume of water to pay the
cost of forty miles of ditch and f1ume.
1t is much more likely that the COM
pany anticipates starting a big irriga-
tion project in the vicinity of their re-
cent activities.

INSTITUTE WILL Be HELPFUL
Program Of Interest to All lillers
of the Soil.
March 18th and 10Th the Dates

The subject of the soils work at the
Farmers Institute, to be held at New
port March Is and 16, will be handled
by Prof. R. w. Thatcher, who is dl-
rector of the State Experiment Station.
Mr.. Thatcher is one of the most proml-
nent soil chemists in the country and is
thoroughly acquainted with the soils of
the state. He has been making them
a special study for ten years. On crops
he is one of the best posted men Of the
state. He will discuss soil composition,
soil fertility, manures, cultivation,
blowing, use of the disc and similar
topics. In his second talk he will take
up the selection of crops, their plant
ing, cultivation and use.
The talks on horse breeding and hog
production will be given by Prof. R. c.
Ashby, who is in charge of all the in
stitute work. Mr.. Ashby grew up in
the live stock business in Nebraska and
was engaged in the business until he
accepted the work in which he is now
engaged. He is thoroughly practical in
his suggestions and you will be espe-
cially interested in his talk on hogs.
Illustrated dairy lecture each day.
You have cows on your farm and you
expect them to give milk. Don't fail
to hear Prof. Nystrom discusss the
problems in which you are interested.
He will talk on dairy feeding and milk
production. Do you want your cows to
give pure milk? Do you want to know
how to do it? Here is a chance to get
some help. One of the most expert
dairymen in the United States claims
that the butter production of the aver
age cow can be increased 100 pounds a
year, if her owner will adopt up-to-date
methods. He will also answer ques-
tions on butter making and care of
milk and cream.
If you are interested in fruit growing
or gardening, you will attend the insti-
tute meeting on the second day and hear

almost indispensable, if an equitable
assessment, doing justice to all classes
of property owners, is desired.
There are at present 397, TAT acres of
patented lands in this county, which
would come under the proposed cruise.
Of this about 123, 900 acres are owned
by the Northern Pacific Railway, a
corporation which is holding back the
development of the county by refusing
to sell these lands. If the county were
cruised, and N P. lands taxed accord
ing to their value, there might be more
of disposition on the part of the COM
pany to dispose of their holdings.
Cruising and classifying the lands
would increase the taxes of some, re-
duce those of others, but if it will bring
about an equalization of taxation in
this county, as it has done in other
counties of the state, it is very much to
be desired.

COUNTY BONDS FIND BUYER
Seattle Firm is Successful Bidder
For First Issue.
Net Interest Rate 4.63 Per Gent.

Pend Oreille county's first bond sale,
held at the court house on Tuesday,
passed off in a manner rejecting credit
upon the financial rating given the new
county by experienced bond buyers.
The issue was disposed of to Carstens &
Earle, Inc, of Seattle, for par, $72, 900
and accrued interest to date of delivery,
with charge of $1255 for attorneys
fees in passing upon the bonds, and
other necessary expenses, and the sum
of $50 for the printing of the bonds.
When the issue was first proposed
and the commissioners fixed theinterest
rate at 43 per cent, they received nu-
merous communications from bond
houses, claiming that the bonds would
not find any bidders at rate less than
per cent, and citing the fact that bonds
from county less than ten years old
could not be used for collateral for u.
S. repositories and like trusts. Never
theless the commissioners persisted in
trying to get the best rate possible for
the county, and felt confident that they
would succeed in placing the issue.
Under the bid on which the issue was
sold, taking into consideration the charge
attached, the rate of interest figures
463 per cent, which is considered a
very successful sale.
Mr.. Haskell, representative of the
successful bidder, states that only the
clean-cut, careful manner in which the
sale was gotten up and promoted in
duced the placing of the low bid. Every
move in the matter of putting through
the sale was carefully safeguarded by
Prosecutor Reading to make the issue
meet with all the requirements of the
law, and Auditor Murray is given credit
for advertising the sale and placing the
facts as to the resources of the county,
its standing of assets and liabilities be
lore the bond buyers of the country.
The only condition attached to the
sale is the question Of the legality of
.ne issue, and there appears to be no
doubt but that it will pass the closest
scrutiny. The successful bidder has a
certified check in the hands of the.board

OBJECTIONS AGAINST CRUISING
Commissioners Receive Numer-
Gus Bids on Work.
Public Hearing Tuesday, April I'd

One of the most important matters
brought before the Board of County
Commissioners this week was that of
cruising, classifying and segregating
the patented lands of the county for the
purpose of securing an equitable basis
for assessment.
The commissioners advertised for the
submission of bids for doing this work
and received total of eight bids, rang
ing in price from &c per acre to 114c
Each bid was accompanied by samples
of the work proposed.
There were present at the time of
opening the bids representatives of the
large corporations operating in the'coun-
ty, who entered a protest against the
county doing the work at this time,
urging delay on the score of economy
in operation of the business of the new
county. They argued that the corpora
tions represented paid more than so per
cent Of all the taxes of the county; that
they were at present bearing all the
burden of taxation they could, and
asked postponement of the work of
cruising until better business conditions
prevailed throughout the country. The
corporations represented in the protest
were the Idaho & Washington North
ern Railroad, the Panhandle Lumber
Co., Dalkena Lumber Co. and Fidelity
Lumber Co.
The board took the matter of con-
sidering the bids under advisement,
taking time to examine the samples of
work proposed, and set April as the
date for final hearing in the matter. On
that date the board will hear arguments
for and against the proposal and will
take final action.
Assessor Purchase is stronglyin favor
of the work of cruising, and takes the
stand that in no other manner can an
equitable assessment be secured. Mr.
Purchase and Auditor Murray have been
in correspondence with a number of
counties of the state where this method
has been carried out, and it is prac-
tically the unanimous opinion of the
various county officials that the work is

County Seat Fight Opened

Cusick has entered the ring as a con-
testant for county seat honors and it's
citizens are actively engaged in the
fight. That Newport will contest to
retain the county seat is well known to
all and it is likely that there will be
other towns entered in the race as there
are not lacking points of argument for
all.
It is a matter that should be we'll
considered by all citizens of the county
before determining on their choice and
the matter will receive full discussion
before the time for voting.
