Lands.
Forecasts Farm Development

During the past three weeks New
port has been visited by many land
seekers, attracted by the advertising OF
the cut-over lands of the lumber com
panies of this section. Sales of these
lands now run over $4,000, and as a
result there will be much development
work started in this section next year.
Among the sales of the past week are
the following:

Court and Bar Meeting.

Judge Carey requests full attend
ance of the members of the barof Pend
Oreille county, at Newport, on Sept. 9,
for the purpose of considering the ne
cessity and advisability of holding a
jury term of court at Newport during
the month of October.
LvJudge Carey was informed that many
of his friends desired to know which of
the three members of the bar, who are
candidates for judge of Stevens and
Pend Oreille counties at the coming
primary election, he favors and recon-
mends. The judge answered that,
without the least hesitation, he favored
and recommended w. H. Jackson, of
Colville. He further said that Mr..
jackson was an absolutely honest man,
an able attorney, having the best gen.
eral practice of any attorney in either
OF the two counties. II have known
Mr.. Jackson, " said the judge, "for the
last fifteen years and am satisfied that
there is excellent judicial material in
him, and, if elected Judge, no one will
have it to say of him that he is partial
or unfair to any one. The voters of
our counties can make no mistake in
giving their support to Mr.. jackson at
the polls or elsewhere. These are con-
victions that | have formed after care
full consideration of so important a
matter.'

STATE AND DISTRICT PRIMARY
Candidates Worthy of Mention
and Support.
Rosenhaupt for Congressman

1t has been the policy of THE MINER
to keep out of local contsts for nomina-
tions at the primary, believing that the
people of the county are in position
to fully infnrm themselves as to the
respective merits of the various candi-
dates.
On Offices without the county news
papermafl is sometimes in a position to
secure information relative to the vari-
Gus candidates, and from personal ac-
quaintance be in position to advise
voters who have not had like oppor-
tunity to inform themselves. For the
Forthcoming primaries there are num-
ber of candidates for whom we can
speak from the conviction that their
nomination is, for the best interests of
state and district.
For the Republican nomination for
Governor there are two candidates
Gov. Hay and Orville Billings, of Ia
coma. Gov. Hays administration has
been business-like and progressive, the
Governor aiding in the passage of leg
isiation that has placed Washington in
the front ranks of the Progressive states
of the nation. Mr.. Billings is stand
patter of the most pronounced type.
Gov. Hays candidacy should have the
support of the Republican voters of
section.
For Congressman-at-Large there are
two to be nominated. There are seven
candidates, Of whom two-Harry Ro-
senhaupt, of Spokane, and J. E. Frost,
of Ellensburg- are residents of the east
side of the state. Mr.. Rosenhaupt' s
candidacy especially appeals to the peo-
pie of Pend Oreille county, as he is
close in touch with the needs of this
section and has large interests in the
Metaline country. He has had several
terms experience in the state legisla-
ture, and has been identified with the
progressive legislation of late years.
Mr.. Rosenhaupt is one of the strong
men of the state, and his straightfor-
ward career is the best evidence of his
future worth to the state. Mr.. Frost
was formerly member of the State
The Newport miner. [volume] (Newport, Wash.) 1899-current, 1912-09-05

Tax Commission and is a man of recog-
nized ability.
AS State Auditor l. M. Howell has
made an exceptionally good record and
is deserving of denomination.
For Congressman from the Third dis
trict there are three candidates-Wm
L. LaFollette, the present congress-
man; Col. w. M. Ridpath, of Spokane,
and George Shaefer, of Spokane. Mr..
LaFollette has always claimed to be a
Progressive, but remains in the Repub-
lican party. His career in Congress has
not been marked with much brilliancy,
and there is considerable dissatisfaction
among those who supported him two
years ago. Col. Ridpath is a we'll
known pioneer of the Spokane country,
and was prosecuting attorney for this
section when Ferry and Pend Oreille
were a part of Stevens county. He is
an administration Republican and stands
without apology on the platform adopted
by the party this year. He is a man
of wide experience and is thoroughly
familiar with the needs of this section,
well qualified to represent the district.
Mr.. Shaefer was formerly member of
the Spokane city council and member
of the state senate.
For State Insurance Commissioner
the race for the nomination lies be-
tween ]. H. Schively, incumbent, and
H. o. Fishback, of Adna, Lewis county.
Mr.. Schively came within a narrow
margin of being impeached for NAL
feasance in office at the special session
of 1910, after an exhaustive investiga-
tion by special committee of the SEN
ate. Mr.. Fishback was member of
this special committee, and through the
investigation gained a knowledge of the
workings of the department. He is
man of recognized integrity, and pro-
poses, if elected, to give clean admin
istration in the interest of protecting
the people in their dealings with the
insurance companies. The voter who
favors honesty in the conduct of public
office will vote for Fishback.
On separate ballot labelled the Non
Partisan Judiciary Ticket, the voter
will find the names of three candidates
for Judge of the Superior Court for
Stevens and Pend Oreille counties. w.
H. Jackson, F. Leo Grinstead and j. A.
Rockford, all of Colville, are the candi-
dates. THE MINER believes that Mr..
Jackson is best qualified for the position
by reason of his training and long ex-
perience in the practice of the law. He
is very highly recommended by Judge
Carey and other residents of Stevens
county, who are familiar with his quail
fications.

Proctor Ranch Sold

The Newport Washington Land Co.
put through deal on Monday whereby
the R. S. Proctor ranch of 80 acres
opposite Dalkena was sold to Fred w.
Schwab, of Lexington, ILL.,, possession
to be given in the spring. Mr.. Schwab
has been in the Northwest for several
months, looking for location to engage
in the horse and hog raising business,
and finally came to the conclusion that
the Pend Oreille valley presents the
best diverifed farming opportunities in
the Northwest. The price paid was
S11 600.

IRRIGATION PROJECT ASSURED
Local Men Start Work On Big
Proposition.
400 Acres of Land to Get Water

Messrs. E. w. Anderson, J. C.Jacob-
son and George Torreson, who recently
purchased the east half of section 20,
township 80, range As, in the Indian
creek neighborhood, across the river
from Wolfred, have added to their
possessions by the purchase of aquarter
section from Carl Brink, located in sec
ton %.
In addition to acquiring these lands,
the gentlemen have acquired water
rights on Indian creek, which assure
them of ample water to irrigate the 400
acres of land that they will be able to
bring under the ditch, also necessary
right-of- f-way through other properties.
They have taken special pains to secure
a perfect title to the water and are
certain that they have it lined up cor
rectly.
They propose to start work at once
to slash and burn over the land, build
fumes to convey the water to all parts
of their tracts, and will place the land
on the market with perpetual water
right. The land lies beautifully, with
a gentle south slope, insuring early
cultivation in the spring and freedom
from frost Ideal home building sites
are presented, the land being about $50
feet above the level of the river and
commanding wide view of the beauti-
full Pend Oreille valley.
The soil of that section is rich,
gravelly loan, that responds readily to
cultivation and irrigation as is demon
strated by the successful gardening and
crops of settlers in that neighborhood.
The east side of the river in that
neighborhood has long been looked for
ward to as an ideal irrigation PROPOSE
tion by those familiar with the lay of
the land, the available water and the
character of the soil. Now that the
lumber companies lands are coming
onto the market we may expect some
rapid development in that region. The
Panhandle Lumber Company will this

which has no visible outlet. Its regu-
lar flow at all seasons of the year indi-

tions for survey of the Pend Oreille

Report of Ferry Business

The report of the business done by
the Newport free ferry for the month
of August shows 1926 passengers,
1874 teams, 305 autos and 161 saddle
horses handled across the river during
the month.
the report is kept for the purpose of
showing the need of a bridge across the
river at this point, and the monthly
figures certainly show big traffic.
The bridge at Wenatchee, for which
the Washington legislature appropriated
$125, 600. does only about one-third the
business that the Newport ferry does.

damaging the highways by allow
ing water to flow on the road af-
ter being warned by the Super
visors to cease the practice. The
ease has been taken to court for

brought to a close. Those trav

water. Under the statute the Of

IS DRIVING
FOR WATER

Frank Wildes, who owns the
old Oliver farm south Of this city,
is determined to secure enough
water to run the farm. Last year
he drove a tunnel into the hill
side west oil the farm and he de
veloped about fifteen inches OF
water. He is now working the
tunnel further into the hill and
hopes to greatly improve the
flow. Already a material IN
crease is noted and by the time
this project is completed there
should be water enough to carry
on this ranch in any class of agrl-
culture. The work of advancing
the tunnel has been retarded by
a number Of bad caves and It is
requiring heavy timber to sup
port the ground in places. When
finished this will be one of the
most modern farm undertaklL -

gradual grade and the scenery
that it developes. 1t was agreed
that with little fixing that tins
road could be pronounced the
best in the Sierras.
The one road that is lacking
is that from Glenbrook to In

built, the party states it would
mean increased travel to this sec
ton and city. BY next season it

MANY MORMON SETTLERS
LOCATING IN NEVADA
Have Purchased Several Large
Farms and Will Cut Them up

Nevada is being colonized by
members Of the Church Of Jesus
Christ of the Latter Day Saints,
otherwise known as Mormons, al
rate which promises to give
them not only financial but pOlit-
zeal control of several of the east
ern counties within another year.
Utah has nearly reached the
limits Of its possibilities of agri-
cultural developments and, as the
Mormons are strictly agrarian IN
their mode of living, they turned
TO the new fields and found them
in Nevada.
During the past several months
some huge deals have been turn
ed by the high officials in the
church for Nevada lands. The
principal purchase was the old
Sparks Harold ranch in Elko
County, with it's 100000 acres,
the largest individual holding in
the state.
They also bought the Hardin
ranch on Quinn River in Hum
boldt County, an estate of 10000
acres, and the Thomas Nelson
ranch at Stone House, consisting
of $4,000 acres. The Crocker
property near Promontory, con
SiStino of 73 600 acres was re-
Gently acquired. A number of
other deals are pending and the
Mormons will shortly own | 1,0OO,-
900 acres Of Nevada farming
land. in addition to their present
holdings, for they are homestead
ing at a rapid rate and, where
they cannot acquire water rights,
they are dry farming.

DEEP BORE
FOR ARTES|AN

bored ON the Barnwell ranch oil

OF Lamar, near Las Vegas.
1t is planned to sink the well
to depth OF 1000 feet and from
indication on the surface and the
results OF well boring III the sur
rounding land it is believed that
a flow of water will be encounter
ed before this depth is attained.
Large tracts OF land in that
section have been filed on under
the desert land act. Dry farming
methods also will be indulged III
by the land owners.

to Emerald Bay and from that
point to Mex inneys. When com
pleted it makes it possible for
the autoists to drive from Sac
ramento to any point on the
Lake, and only the stretch be-
tween Incline and Glenbrook will
be without a road.
When asked if it was possible
to construct such a road the party
states that if road can be made
from Tallac around Emerald Bay
the same thing can be done to In
cline.
There is no doubt in the
minds of any who have given this
matter any consideration but
that such a road will have to be
eventually built. With Glen
brook becoming one the pOular
resorts of the Lake, and the Car
son people building at that point
will make this new road a neces-
sity. The auto and out travelling
must receive the recognition that
it is entitled to and Carson must
do her share to keep the travel
this way.
