The commissioners again took the
matter under advisement, and ON We'd
nesday afternoon finally disposed of it
by rejecting all bids for cruising.
In taking this action the commission
ers were governed by the financial con-
dition of the new county. They con-
suited Representatives of the State Bu-
reau of Inspection and Supervision of
Public Offices, who Informed them that
the new county had already passed the
constitutional limit of Indebtedness,
and that warrants issued for cruising
could doubtless be contested and de-
clared illegal. The Supreme Court has
held that a county must exist and pay
it's running expenses, and warrants for
that purpose cannot be considered ille-
gal, even though the limit Of indebted
ness was passed, but it was question
able whether warrants for cruising
would come under the head of an abso-
lutely necessary expense.
The commissioners believe that AS
SCISSOR Purchase, having access to the
timber companies records, can get a
better assessment than heretofore, and
that, as a cruise would cost $50, 900,
under the existing circumstances it was
better to delay the work until some
future time, and then to do it by hiring
competent men, rather than to let a
general contract.

est grade material and in a strictly
modern manner. The reduction in cost
OF the above estimates will be made
along lines that can conveniently be
added as the finances of the district can
supply them in the future.
Robert c. Sweat, Architect, Dan r.
brown; of the Inland Portland Cement
Co., and R. w. Adams, expert on the
Kahn system of cement construction,
all of Spokane, were in town today
interviewing the school board relative
to the submission of plans for concrete
school building, in case the Board should
be unable to handle the school problem
under the plans of Architect Wilson.
Mr.. Sweat has furnished the plans
for the lone school and is confident that
a concrete building that will supply the
anticipated needs Of the Newport school
for several years and with all modern
equipment, can be built within the
funds available by the district. Mr..
Brown has assured the Board of a
special low price on the product of the
cement plant at Metaline Falls, which
will aid in securing a low bid on the
structure.
The gentlemen secured such informa-
ton as was possible regarding the needs
of the local district and will be prepared
to submit the plans within very short
time should the Board so desire.

SCHOOL BIDS ARE TOO HIGH
Plans Too Comprehensive for
Available Funds.
Concrete Structure Is Proposed.

The opening of bids on the construc-
ton OF the first unit of the proposed
school building, which occurred at 1890
Monday, proved great disappointment
to the members of the board, as the
figures ran much higher than antici-
pated, and will necessitate number of
radical changes in the plans before they
will come within the range of the finan-
cial ability of the district.
Seven bids were received, as follows:
j. B. Sweat, of Spokane. -. .$39, 900
J. M. & G. H. Yeaman, of Spo-
AouO -. 81. SSt
L. w. Hartness, of Spokane -. 38, 165

j. j. Lohrenz, of Spokane -. 81, ,484
George Groshotz, Of Spokane. 81, ,43O
F. E. Lehmkuhl, of Newport. 81, $50
After opening the bids the board ad-
journed until 2:30, when, after further
consideration, all bids were rejected
but that of the lowest bidder, F. E.
Lehmkuhl, of Newport, this bid being
held open temporarily.
Architect Wilson, who drew the plans,
was present. and advised with the
board, indicating changes whereby the
lowest bid could be reduced about $4,000
by the omission of certain material and
fixtures, which could easily be added
when some of the future units are con-
structed. 1t was the introduction into
the plans of much of the material and
excavation for the future units that
caused the bids to exceed the original
limit of $4,000 set by the board of di-
rectOrs
Architect Wilson was thereupon in
structed to go over the plans very care
fully, and make such reductions and
changes as would bring the cost of the
building within the original financial
limit. This he proposed to do, and will
return again to Newport next Tuesday
to report upon the same.
The original plans, outside of cloak
rooms and lavatories, comprised four
teen rooms, as described in the last is

structure was to be finished in the high

lar with the financial circumstances OF
the county, which might prohibit 1T at
this time.
A. E. Davidson, of Dalkena, was the
first representative of the Oranges to
take the floor. Mr.. Davidson was in
favor of the cruise, and presented some
figures showing valuations at which
the timber lands of the big owners were
assessed, the Panhandle Company pay
ing in 1911 on the basis of $3.50 per
acre, the Fidelity $6, the Spokane Lum-
Der Co. $4.54, the Dalkena Lumber Co.
Sc, the White Pine & Cedar Co. $7.55
and the Northern Pacific 1928. He felt
the cruise most desirable, but thought
perhaps the cost would make it ill-ad-
vised during present business condi-
tions. He thought that it would be
best not to do the work by contract,
and Mr.. Frost stated that only one
county in the state had done the work
by contract.
j. C. H. Reynolds and E. O. Hawk
sett appeared for the Panhandle Lum-
Der Co., and W. H. Ufford, of Spokane,
for the Spokane Lumber Co. All of
these gentlemen stated that their COM
panies were in favor of the cruise, but
that the lumber business had been in
such poor condition the past few years
that the companies were up against it
to provide money for paying present
taxes, and urged that the work be post
poned until business conditions i'm
proved, and the new county was better
able to stand the financial burden of
cruising.
That timbermen showed that the
corporations represented paid Sc per
cent of the taxes of the county, and
would have to pay that proportion of
the cost of the cruise, and asked that
this burden be not imposed upon them
at this time. They offered to give the
county assessor access to the cruises..on
which they purchased their timber
holdings, to enable him to arrive at an
accurate estimate of the value of their
lands.
w. L. R!ckard, master of the County
Grange; George w. Johnston, ]. N.
Rogers, w. A. Sloan and j. R Patter-
son were also heard, all favoring the
cruise, and arguing that the farmers
were willing to pay their share Of the
taxes to have the work done, and be-
lieved that they were not in much bet
ter financial condition to pay than the
corpoIations, but felt that the work was
necessary to get fair assessment

CRUISING BIDS ARE REJECTED
Financial Conditions Do Not War

Public Hearing Largely Attended.

The public hearing held by the county
commissioners on Tuesday, at which
time the matter of cruising and classi-
fcation of the patented lands of the
county was considered, was largely at
tended, showing considerable interest
in the matter.
Representatives of the Farmers
Oranges of the county were present,
all in favor of having the work done,
acting in the belief that in no other
manner could an equitable assessment
of all county property be secured. j.
E. Frost and M j. Carrigan, members
of the State Tax Commission, were also
present, on invitation from County
Assessor Purchase, and these gentleman
were called on first to address the meet
ing.
Mr.. Frost spoke first and gave short
history of the work done by the Tax
Commission since it's organization, in
raising the amount of taxes paid by the
large corporations of the state, and in
equalizing the assessment between the
various counties. Referring to the
matter of cruising lands he stated that
King county had cruised 281, ZOO acres
at a cost of $1,000, Pacific county
1900 acres for $4,000, and Lewis
county SAT, 900 acres for $57, 900.
The cost of cruising west of the Cas-
cades, he stated, was considerably higher
than it would be in this county, the
timber being much heavier; that per-
haps the cost of cruising the lands of
this county would not exceed two-t thirds
the cost per acre that it does in the
western part of the state. In every
instance where the work has been done
it has proven highly satisfactory to all
concerned, and timbermen who at first
opposed the cruise were now gratifed
with the results achieved
Mr.. Carrigan, who was a member of
the King county board of commission
ers when that county was cruised, tes-
titled as to the need of the work and
the satisfactory results achieved. Both
gentlemen recommended that the work
be done, although they were not famil-

MINSTREL SHOW A SUCCESS
Improvement Club Nets Neat SUM
for the Work.
Local Talent Efforts Were Pleasing.

The Lady Minstrel Show, given at
Fid's Opera Friday evening, proved to
be one of the best entertainments that
has ever been given in this city. The
choruses and specialties all won the
favor of the audience, as was evidenced
by the generous applause and insistent
demands for encores.
Every feature of the entertainment
showed careful training, and much un-
suspected talent discovered among the
ladies of the town. The local jokes
added to the enjoyment of the evening,
and the unanimous verdict is to the eff
feet that the ladies are to be congratu-
lated on the success of their efforts to
entertain the public.
The ladies of the Civic Improvement
Club, who planned and carried out the
entertainment, are much pleased with
the outcome, and very thankful to the
public for liberal patronage, and to all
who assisted in making the event
success. The receipts from tickets
sold were $17O, and the following is the
list of expenses incurred, which shows
that there remains neat profit to be
