S. j. Appleman has filed his declar-
alton of candidacy for the Republican
nomination for the office of Represent
atlve for Pend Oreille county in the
state Legislature.
Mr.. Appleman served in the 1911
legislature as a member from Stevens
county and became an ex-office holder
at the time this county was organized.
during the 1911 session his principal
work was in the interest of the creation
OF the new county and the success of
measure was largely due to his efforts.
Attorney Alva S. Sherlock, of New
port, has filed for the Democratic nom.
lnation for Representative.

Candidate ror the Republican nomin-
alton for congress from the Third dis
trict of Washington. Col. Ridpath has
been resident of this section for a
quarter of a century. AlawYer by pro-
fession, he became interested in mining
operations, which were very successful,

no doubt as to his intention to stand by
the party.

Some Demonstration

J. w. Rauch, one of the pioneers of
the Newport country, who settled here
before the Great Northern Railway
made it's way through the wilderness, is
one of the active demonstrators of what
can be raised in this section, and visit
to his home place, between Newport
and Penrith, at this season of the year
is we'll worth the time and energy spent.
Mr.. Rauch is raising all kinds of staple
vegetable crops, as we'll as forage crops
and small fruits. Cucumbers, water
melons and squash are among the more
delicate articles he natures successfully
year after year, not in large quantity,
but sufficient to supply the family and
the friends who partake of the lavish
hospitality that is practiced at the Rauch
home.
When it comes to cabbage, John is
there, and the sauerkraut he puts up
annually is so much sought after that
he will this year put in new kraut
cutter that will enable him to put up
enough of the Germans favorite food
to supply the demand. -.
On the bench south of the I. & WI
right-of-way Mr.. Rauch is developing
an orchard, with promise of good sue
cess, and here also is located his straw
berry patch. He has devoted consider
able care to experimenting with differ
ent varieties, and is particularly proud
of what is popularity known as the ever
bearing variety, plant that he i'm
ported from the eastern states, and of
which he is one of the few growers in
the Northwest This berry starts to
bear about the same time as the other
varieties, but continues to blossom and
bear fruit until killing frosts come in
the fall.
Raspberries, dew berries, black ber-
ries and logan berries are all grown on
the place, while onions, carrots and po-
tatoes race with cottages to see which
can produce the biggest and most profit
able yields.
John is at times inclined to make
light of himself as farmer, but at that
ne is a close student of dry farming
methods and agricultural literature, and
works steadily along the lines of dem
onstrating the possibilities of the coun-
| trV

of carrots and sold them at the farm
for SIS ton.
At none of these places is irrigation
practiced. Much of the land around
Newport and at other points in the Pend
Oreille valley is underlaid with clay
subsoil, and the pitch of the surround
ing hills and slope of the benches pro-
vide in many places natural scheme OF
sub-irrigation. There can be no ques-
ton that wherever the Industrious set
tier uses ordinary care and judgment IN
the choosing of his land results similar
to those have just recorded can be re-
peated.
CLEARING COSTS $50 THE ACRE.
Mr.. Talmadge, Mr.. Edens, Mr.. Ora
ham and others of experience were
agreed that the cut-over lands in this
section can be slashed, burned, cleared
and made ready for the pillow at an
average cost of $50 an acre. Mr.. Tai
madge and Mr.. Graham said they can
clear heavy stump land for considerably
less. The concensus Of opinion here is
that in the work of clearing nothing
equals powder, with two horses and a
block and tackle to complete the work
done by the blast. By this method Mr..
Graham insists that he has cleared
heavy bottom land, with large tamarack
stumps set thick, for $50 an acre.
One needs not vivid imagination to
catch vision of the changes that will
be wrought in these vast expanses of
one-time timbered lands. Areas now
unsightly from ak and fire will be trans
formed into 10000 homes of comfort
and prosperity, and the land will
smile in beauty of flower and fruitage
where once rolled unbroken expenses
of the solemn pines.

explanation
You see," he said. I'VE walters have

customs exact duty upon toothpicks.
so when we reach the German frontier
we always leave our toothpicks there

Are Appreciated by Bryan People.
Thousands who suffer from back
ache and kidney complaint have tried
one remedy after another, finding only
temporary benefit. This is discoruag-
ing, but there is one special kidney
medicine that cures permanently and
there is plenty of proof right here in
Bryan.
Here is the testimony of one who
used Doans Kidney Pills years ago,
and now states that the cure was
lasting.
John P. Stacey, Austin Street. Bryan,
Texas, says: "Doan's Kidney Pills
gave me splendid relief, When about
seventeen years old strained my back
and this caused kidney trouble. Doan's
Kidney Pills, procured at Emmers
drug store, toned up my system and
helped me in every way. Whenever |
resort to this remedy am benefited"
