EQUALIZATION WORK IS DONE
Panhandle Company Gets Gut On
Timber Valuation.
Assessed Higher Than Others

The Board of Equalization concluded
its labors and adjourned on Saturday,
the time set by law for adjournment.
The session has been arduous for the
members, and many applications for re-
ductions were acted upon, some favor
ably, while others were rejected The
record of the work done by the Board
will show in the publication of the otfi-
cial minutes, which will be made next
year.
The greatest difficulty encountered by
the Board was in the equalization OF the
assessment on timber. When the work
of making the assessment was started
Assessor Purchase, after considerable
investigation, determined to assess
timber this year on a basis OF 81 per
thousand, wherever located. This
would indicate a cash value of all the
timber in the county of 81 per thousand,
the assessment being made on 5O per
cent. basis. The matter of assessing
timber by zones. taking into consldera-
ton location and distance from river or
railroad, was discussed, but too many
obstacles were found in the way of such
assessment, and it was finally concluced
30 assess on the fiat rate Of 81.
AS the great bulk of the timber land
of the county is in the hands OF the
large corporations, the Northern Pacific
having 123,00 acres, the Panhandle
Lumber Co. go, 900 acres, and the other
mill companies 5000 to 10000 acres, it
is obvious that if any discrimination in
the matter of assessment was shown it
was against the big owners.
The Board considered the matter Of
making fat rate reduction Of 25 per
cent on all timber in the county, but
found that such action would materially
reduce the total valuation of the county
and necessitate an increased millage,
and unanimously decided that the assess
ment stand as made.
J. C. H. Reynolds and E. B. Fish ap-
peared before the Board on Saturday
and made application for a reduction
of As per cent on the timber owned by
the Panhandle Lumber Company. They

WORKING ON FAIR PLANS
Grinnell Donates Silver Cup For
Logged-Off Land Exhibit.
Prizes Worthy of Competition

Arrangements for the fair to be held
at Newport on Sept. 26 and 27 are be-
ing made by the general committee,
and the premium list will be ready for
circulation within a few days. 1t is
printed again in this issue of The MINER
on an inside page.
The $50 silver trophy cup donated by
Louis Hill, of the Great Northern, to
be awarded to the best agricultural ex-
hibit shown, is now being engraved at
St. Paul and will be forwarded at once
to Newport for exhibition before the
fair.
An additional special prize is offered
by Fred B. Grinnell, of Spokane, con-
sisting of SIS silver trophy cup for the
best individual exhibit from logged-off
lands. Mr. Grinnell also offers to do
nate $50 toward the expense of making
an exhibit at the Spokane Interstate
Fair from Pend Oreille county.
Exhibitors will be allowed to compete
for but one of these trophy cups, and
the Grinnell cup is exclusively for pro-
ducts of logged-off lands.
The general committee is arranging
to secure judges from Washington State
College at Pullman, to pass upon the
exhibits, and if possible arrangements
will be made for addresses on agricul-
tural topics by these judges.
An entertainment program will also
be arranged, with band concerts, dances,
moving picture entertainments, etc.,
for the pleasure of fair visitors.
Growers of this section should make
an effort to show at the fair, and do
their part toward making known the
sources of the country. The fair is
attracting a great deal of attention and
presents an excellent opportunity for
advertising.
Do not overlook the county fairs.
They form the pivot in the development
of the Northwestern states agricultur-
ally. They are the great clearing houses
for the big land products and live stock
shows as well as all state fairs.
This is the keynote which Louis W
Hill, president of the Great Northern

Odd Fellows Purchase Land

The Newport I. o. o. F. lodge has
purchased 80 acres of land in section q.
a part of the recent offerings of logged
off lands at price of SIS per acre.
The tract lies directly west and ad-
joining the cemetery owned by the
lodge and is purchased for future needs
in the cemetery line. Practically all of
the land is level, the west end running
onto the hill far enough to give the Odd
Fellows ownership of valuable spring
which will be piped down to furnish
water for the cemetery. The lodge has
for long time had in view the purchase
of this tract.

(2) They bring the fair sufficiently

SCHOOLS WILL OPEN MONDAY
Prospects For Successful Year
Are Good.
Corps Of Teachers Now Complete

The Newport public schools will for.
mally open on Monday. Sept. 2, and
from present indications the board OF
directors are looking forward to very
successful school year.
In the matter of the selection OF
teachers much care and deliberatior
was indulged in that none but the most
efficient, and the best prepared teachers
professionally and accidentally be Sc
cured to conduct the school affairs OF
the community. An examination of the
best schools throughout the country
will reveal the fact that they are gov
erned by the most competent teachers
securable, and we might say in passing
that the best schools are not always to
be found in the larger cities.
In regards the matter of teachers for
the ensuing years year Newport will
have one of the strongest corps in the
history of it's school system. In the
High School Principal L. H. King will
have charge of the work in science.
Georgia Ellis, a graduate of the Bel
lingham Normal School and University
of Michigan, will conduct the work in
English and history. Mabel King, who
is a graduate of Carlton College, and
who has done special work at the Uni
versity of California, will handle the
classes in Latin and German. The
vacancy made by the resignation of
Gertrude Pratt, who was elected to a
position in the Seattle schools, has been
filled by Lulu M. Martin, graduate of
Whitworth College at Tacoma, Wash.
Miss Martin. will have charge of the
High School mathematics and some
subjects in the eighth grade. All of
above teachers have had long expert
ence in their line of work.
In the grades an especially strong
corps of teachers will be in charge. The
vacancy in the seventy grade made by
the resignation of Elsie Bell, has been
filled by the election of Agnes Balfe, a
graduate of the Cheney Normal School
and a teacher Of some years expert
ence. Miss Balfe comes to US from
Sprague, Wash. The work of Miss
The Newport miner. [volume] (Newport, Wash.) 1899-current, 1912-08-29

Maud Smith, Miss Ethel Jones and Miss
Madge Baily is we'll known to the peo-
pie Of this community. Their services
have been highly appreciated in the
past.
The vacancies made by the resigna-
ton of Miss Rebecca Baily and Miss
Margaret Brown have been filled by
two very competent and highly recon-
mended teachers, Estella Tulles and
Grace Brown. Both of these young
ladies are graduates of the Cheney
Normal School, and have had some ex-
perience in the work of teaching. Miss
Tulles, in addition to her course at
Cheney, has had three years work at
the State College at Pullman. The as
signment of all the teachers in the
grades has not yet been made, as it will
be necessary to ascertain the enrolment
at the opening of school before this can
be accomplished judicially. In case of
a congestion ample provision has been
made to relieve it Immediately, both in
the securing of an additional teacher
and the provision of an additional room.
During the present week everything
is being put into proper condition for
the opening of school. The buildings
and grounds are being thoroughly over
hauled. While some of the school rooms
are not the best that a community the
size of Newport should possess, they
are the best that can be secured under
present conditions.
The equipment in the High School is
ample for the courses of study pre-
sented. No attempts made to present
course of study for which suitable
apparatus and equipment is not pos
sessed. Last year the physical labora-
tory was put in excellent condition.
This year the chemical laboratory will
will be placed in similar condition.
We hope that in the near future New
port will be able to take its place with
the other progressive schools of the
domestic science, manual training and
of at the present is modern school
building ample to take care of our pres
ent needs, and to make some little pro-

trust the peOple VI NE" poII VIII tHor-
oughly acquaint themselves with our
school facilities, so that they may be
able to discuss the matter intelligently,
disdaining to place their judgment on
hearsay.
All teachers and pupils are requested
to meet at the main school building, the
pupils at o'clock and the teachers at
8:15. There will be meeting of the
teachers at this time in Laboratory No.2.
Special Notice-Parents who have
children who will be years old by Feb
ruary, 1913, should enter such children
in school at the September semester, as
no new primary classes will be organ
lied later in the year.

Third Party Movement

Progressives of the state are COM
pleting arrangements for convention
on Sept. 10, primary day, at which
they will place in nomination full set
of candidates for state offices and con-
gress. An attempt is being made to
get up third party ticket in each
county of the state, but up to this time
the sentiment of Pend Oreille county
Progressives has been against third
county ticket. Practically all the Re-
publican candidates are Progressives,
and they feel that there would be moth
ing gained by backing a third county
ticket movement locally.
The Newport miner. [volume] (Newport, Wash.) 1899-current, 1912-08-29

cited the Board to the fact that while
the assessment of the entire county
showed an increase of 35 per cent, the
assessment of the Panhandle COMPANY
had been increased 72 per cent. To
controvert the argument that their
holdings had been assessed too low in
the previous assessment they showed
that their assessment for the year 1910
was S5.02 per acre on timber while the
average for all the timber lands of the
county was but 81. az.
In order to satisfy themselves on the
matter the Board made a thorough
comparison of the assessment of the
Panhandle as compared with timber of
settlers and other companies and came
to the conclusion that the Panhandle
was entitled to a reduction of 20 Der
cent on timber only, in order to put
them on the same basis with the other
timber owners. Their land assessment
which is on an average of S4.03 per
acre, was permitted to stand as return
ed by the deputy assessors. After in
vestigating the matter the Board was
unanimous in granting the 20 per cent
reduction to the Panhandle, which will
cut their assessment about S110, 900.
The application of the Northern Pacific
for reduction of 25 per cent on all
their property was denied.
Assessor Purchase is now busy at
preparing the abstract of assessment
for review by the State Board of Tax
Commissioners.
