Fame of a Good Town Spreads

The following clipping from the
Springfield, Mass, Daily Republican is
furnished THE MINER through the kind
ness of H. R. Schenker, of Spirit Lake,
secretary of the l. & w. N. R. R., and
goes to show how the works of a town
like ours attract attention:
"There are people who like fresh,
new country, with evidences every
where of tremendous initiative in the
present, and there are also people who
like a background if the back
ground of a feudal past. Americans of
the latter type usually go to Europe
and stay there-if they can. Americans
of the former type will hardly need to
go to the state of Washington, but if
they do they should be satisfied with
the city of Newport, on the Pend Oreille
river, which, in 10 years, has grown
from a population of two-and that
migratory-to 1900, and which now
boasts a monolithic concert theater
costing $17,OOO."
The Newport miner. [volume] (Newport, Wash.) 1899-current, 1912-09-12

the essential qualifications for county
seat, and from now until the day of
election the people of our town will
present the arguments that we feel
point to this as the proper location.
When the county of Stevens was di-
vided and Pend Oreille created we knew
that there would be fight over the
permanent location, and with this ex-
pectancy we were prepared to have
contestants for the location and there
fore enter the fight with malice toward
none; will do our best to win, feeling
confident that we will receive fair con-
sideration at the hands of the people of
the county, and that the verdict of the
voters will be in our favor.

On Superior Court Judge the vote in
this county was as follows: Jackson,
561; Rockford, 325; Grinstead, 23O. The
Stevens county vote on this office, so
far as obtainable at time of going to
press, was: Jackson, 119O; Grinstead,
$50; Rockford, 5O2. It appears certain
that the November election race will be
between Jackson and Grinstead.
Summing up the non-official returns
was delayed until 6 o'clock Thursday
evening, awaiting the arrival of Cam
den returns, which were on a delayed
train. The Camden vote decided the
contest between Fielder and Rogers for
commissioner of the First district, the
vote 9 to 2, giving Rogers two majority
in the district.
The race between Thackston and
Everett, for Democratic nomination for
sheriff, appears from the face of the
returns to be tie, each having lat
votes.
Some changes in these returns are
possible when the Board of Canvassers
goes over the poll books but are as cor
rect as can be determined at this time,
with all precincts in. The Board of
Canvassers, consisting of the Chairman
of the Board of County Commissioners,
the county auditor and prosecuting at
torney will meet Saturday or Monday
to canvass the returns.

The Democratic returns are very
meager and their vote was light through

lies between Todd and Lister, for con-

COUNTY SEAT RACE STARTS
Newport Petition Filed Last
Thursday, lone Today.
Cusick and Usk Are In the Race.

Now that the primary election is over
the next matter that will engage the
attention of the public is the general
election, to occur on November 5. Lo-
cally the Importance of the election of
county and state officers, and perhaps
even the presidential election, will be
overshadowed by the question of the
permanent location of the county seat
of Pend Oreille county.
At the present time there are four
towns in the race for county seat hon
ors, each having filed sufficient petitions
to the county auditor to have their name
placed on the ballot. Cusick was the
first to file, getting in the game early
in the spring. Usk filed about month
ago, Newport's petition was placed on
record last Thursday, and lone filed to-
day.
Up to the time of filing our petition
the people of Newport have not been
active in the contest. Our town is the
temporary county seat, and it is we'll
understood by all that we would make
fight to win the permanent location.
We believe the advantages that New
port possesses as county seat town are
apparent to all residents of the county,
especially to those who have done busi-
ness here in the period since the organ
ization of the new county. 1t has the
transportation facilities that make all
parts of the county easily accessible
without delay or transfer; it has the
hotels and restaurants necessary to ac-
commodate assemblages of people; the
conveniences of light and water service,
the churches, theater, civic organiza-
tions and other things that go to make
up a good town and provide the essen
tials for county seat.
While it is very natural that each
community in the race is very desirous
of winning, and it's people feel that it is
the best place for the county seat, there
are many things to be taken into con-
sideration by those who live in territory
that does not have personal interest in
the matter.
Newport feels that it does possess all

cleaned, without show of irritation
but with degree of satisfaction The
city's spring cleaning had only fore
stalled that which would inevitably
have come later from Mrs. Goldfish,
so that having done with two evils at
once wasn't bad luck at all. ;,
But Mrs. Goldfish was inconsolable:
Men are such idiots" she snapped
Anybody ought to have enough sense
to wait until fair weather comes to be-
gin spring cleaning. Each of us will
have bad cold or grip after all this
exposure, with all the big sales on in
town, Easter bonnets just in and
Easter Sunday itself only few weeks
away"
This interesting conversation oc-
cured after the gold fish had been re-
moved from the basin at the City Hall
park and placed in several big tin
basins until their regular quarters
can be cleaned and made fresh for
them. The fish have been viewed by a
number of people, especially boys and
girls who have enjoyed seeing them III
such large numbers as they swim
around in the new basins.
