THEY WANT THE COUNTY SEAT
lone and Usk Preparing to Enter
the Contest.
Activity Apparent Along the Line

A new contestant entered into the
Pend Oreille county fight for the loca-
ton of the county seat, when the busi-
ness men of lone participated in mass
meeting, organized a county seat club
and formally entered their town in the
race.
According to the lone Record, the
meeting was attended by over a hun
dred representative citizens and ladies.
Organization of the lone County Seat
Club was perfected by the election of
l.. l.. Mathews, county commissioner of
the Third district, as president; C. N
Buffum, vice-president; Fred Trum-
bull, secretary, E. A. Locke, treasurer,
and R. L. Cole, assistant secretary.
The announcement of the club cites
the following as some of the reasons
why lone should receive the favorable
consideration of the electors:
Its more central geographical location.
It's excellent hotels with ample and
modern facilities.
It's excellent water and lighting sys-
TENS and fire protection.
Its ''high and dry location with nat
ural drainage.
It's easy accessibility to the great ma
jority Of the county's people, the train
service being such that, from Newport
to the boundary, any person could reach
lone, have ample time for the transac-
ton of business and return home the
same day.
There have also been things doing
along this line in the Calispel valley.
Many of the people of the valley favor
the location of the county seat in the
valley, and the Cusick petition having
been filed with the county auditor be-
fore an expression of the people of the
whole valley could be secured, meet
ing was held at Usk last Saturday, at
which the Pend Oreille County Devel.

purpose of putting Usk in the race fol

future needs of the community approx
mated, and the financial condition OF
district thoroughly investigated. The
board of directors had secured sketches
of a four-unit school building from
Architect C.. Lewis Wilson, of Seattle
Portland, which large number of the
business men had examined and ap
proved. If was decided that the center
unit of the sketches, as outlined, was
most conducive to Newport's present
school needs, and the board was ad-
vised to take steps to obtain plans and
specifications for the erection and
completion of this center unit. This
matter has been done by the directors,
and they at present have the plans and
specifications for building to cost in
the vicinity of $4,000, and the notice
for bids on the proposition has been
issued. Should these bids not exceed
the above estimate, the matter will
then be offered to vote of the people
Tor their approval.
The present unit, as contemplated,
will give Newport a modern school
structure in every particular, con-
structed upon the most approved prin-
ciples of school architecture, and suffi-
cient to supply the educational needs of
the community for some time to come,
together with the present school build
ing. The new structure is to be located
on the present school site, in a position
not interfering withathe old building,
facing east. 1t is to be located in such
manner that the present building will
not have to be removed until the last,
or fourth unit Of the new building, is to
be erected. The new unit will COM
prise ample corridor space with three
entrances and exits, seven standard
size school rooms, two large recitation
rooms, a chemical laboratory, large
study hall, -34x54 feet, for high school
purposes, four large centralized cloak
rooms, modern toilets and lavatories, a
principals office, teachers room and
three small store rooms, the whole to
be three stories in height. The boiler
room in the basement, the corridors,
chemical laboratory and stairways are
to be strictly freproof, the rest of the
building to be semi-freproof. This vir-
tually precludes any possibility of dan
ger from fire. The building in the main
is to be constructed of brick and re-en-
forced concrete. The front will be of
the highest grade finish brick, with
ornamental plaster cement panel work
and iron cornice work, The interior

meeting set for Saturday, April 6.
A petition to have the name of Usk
placed on the county seat location bal
lot is now in circulation.
At Newport no organization has been
perfected as yet to further the interests
OF the town, as it is felt that all the
people of the county know that the town
IS contestant for the permanent coun-
ty seat. A full and free discussion of
all phases of the location question will
be had before the time for election, and
the voters will have ample time to in
form themselves as to the advantages
possessed by each town and the desira-
bllity of each location that is suggested.

SCHOOL PLANS HAVE ARRIVED
Bids Asked For on Construction
of Building.
Plans Complete in Every Detail

For the past three years the board of
now School District No. l under the
new county division, has been harassed
with the problem of providing addl-
tional school room for rapidly grow
ing school system. The three high
school inspectors, sent out each year by
the State Board of Education during the
past three yerrs, have been unanimous
in their criticism that Newport pres
ent school building is much too small
for its present growth. Inspector Twlt-
meyer, who visited our schools on Mon
day, March 25, while paying the school
a high tribute for the character OF the
work being done and the general sys-
tenn of educational affairs, said that the
only imperative need of the school was
more room.
At the present time the old school
building has but six class rooms, with
four very small rooms which are made
quate even for recitation rooms for high
school work. This has necessltated the
renting of three outside buildings which
are difficult to heat, which are poorly
lighted and which are impossible to
properly ventilate The school children
of any community have right to the
best school facilities in the way Of
buildings and efficient equipment that
the people of the community can prefer.
1t is in the face of these difficulties
that the present board Of directors has
been giving its attention to the propo-
sition of erecting a new school building,
which will at least take care of our
educational needs for the next four or
five years, the building to be of such
a nature that additional units can be
erected from time to time as occasion
demands, the completed structure to be
an imposing building from an architec-
tural viewpoint, and one constructed In
accordance with the most approved ed
ucational practices.
At two of the meetings of the Busl-
ness Mems Luncheon the matter was
thoroughly debated. The present school
status was carefully considered, the

Commissioners Meet Next Tuesday.

At the coming session of the Board of
County Commissioners, which begins
on Tuesday, April 2, the board will take
up the important matter of cruising and
classifying the lands of the county, and
public hearing will be held on Tues
day, at which time the commissioners
will be pleased to hear and consider
arguments for and against the pro-
posal. Representatives of the large
corporations of the county, who are
opposing the doing of this work at this
time on the score of economy, will be
present, as will also delegations from
the Farmers Oranges of the county,
who will argue in favor of the work.
There will also be hearing on the
same date regarding what it known as
the Calispel cutoff road, being the road
north from Newport to Wolfred, follow
ing closely the line Of the proposed
state road, which has now been aban-
doned by the state. 1t is proposed to
establish this road as a county road, it
having been in continuous use for some
years past.
Among other matters the board will
correct any errors which may have oc-
Cured at the last session in the estab-
lishment of voting precinct lines. With
out intention of doing so, the line be-
tween Calispel and Mclaughlin pre-
cincts was wiped out at the last session
and the two precincts combined. This
matter will be corrected by the board
and any other changes in precinct lines
that may be suggested by interested
parties will be considered.

finish is to be of the highest grade coast
fir or yellow pine, natural finish. All
school and class rooms are to be equip
ped with slate blackboards. The corrl-
dor of each floor will contain sanitary
drinking fountain, an electrical ire
gong and a standpipe, to which will be
attached so feet of inch and half hose
with fire nozzle. The building will be
completely wired for electric lights, the
plumbing thoroughly modern, and the
heating system steam. The heating
plant is to be one of the best that 1T is
possible to install in school building,
as is from this source alone that pupils
in school buildings suffer the most. The
system of ventilation is that which has
given the best results In public buildings
in the past, being generally known as
the "plenum' system.
There are two large stairways, at
either end of the building, leading to
the upper stories. The present unit is
so arranged that in the future, when
the other units are added, two fire
ESCAPES can be installed at the rear.
However, with the bulk of the struc-
ture brick and REINFORCED concrete, the
danger from fire, even from the outside,
is extremely remote.
With a school building as outlined in
the above paragraphs the people of
Newport need entertain no apologies
for their school room facilities. With
an imposing exterior, the interior finish
and equipment will be of such nature
as to offer to the pupils of the commun-
itv the best that can be secured in school
building construction, The concensus
of opinion of the people of Newport is
in hearty accord with the construction
of this new building, no dissenting
opinion having as yet been voiced.
When the matter is ultimately sub
mitted to the people for their approval,
we trust that all those interested will
exert every endeavor to see that the
proposition is carried to successful
issue.
Any person desiring to inspect the
plans of the new building can do so by
visiting the high school, at which place
the details of the prospective structure
will be explained to them.

FORMING BERRY ASSOCIATION
Business Men Will Aid in Stimu-
lating Industry
Preparing to Make Car Shipments

For the purpose of stimulating the
growing of strawberries throughout the
Newport country, and the creation of
an outside market for the surplus pro-
duct there is being formed Strawberry
Growers Association, comprised of
local business men.
A stock company, with a capitaliza-
tion of $4,000, is being formed, and
sufficient stock has been sold to insure
the success of the project. 1t is pro-
posed to acquire 40 acres of land on
Silver Birch, close enough to town so
as to insure the services of pickers
living in the town, clear the land and
put it into strawberries within the next
two years.
The principal object to be achieved
by the formation of this association is
to stimulate the growing of berries, an
assured crop in this section, and create
market for carload shipments Under
the present circumstances the local
market is not able to take care of the
product of the small ranchers, and they
are not in p osition to develop mar
ket that will take care of shipments,
but the association would be able to do
this.
Planting only one or two varities of
the berries best adapted for shipping
and the small growers following in the
lead of the association it will not take
long to put Newport on the map as a
strawberry growing center.
Express shipments of berries were
made last year to points as far east as
Minot ann Fargo, N. D., arriving there
in good condition and commanding a
better price than prevailed here at
home. 1t has been demonstrated that
the berries will stand shipment by ex
press, which is conclusive that refrig-
orator car shipments will pay. 1t is
only question of getting a sufficient
area planted to produce carload lots,
and then the maintenance of the right
standard of the shipments.
