vice, consisting of four trains each way
on the Great Northern and two each
way on the Idaho & Washington North
ern, is convenience to all who desire
to do business at the courthouse, and
constitutes great asset for the town
In the county seat fight. When a man
is on business trip, either for himself
or the county, the saving of time and
expense is strong point to be consid-
cred.
Convenience for themselves and econ
omy for the county in the matter of
county seat location is what the voters
of the county will consider when they
come to cast their ballots for the county
seat in November That Newport has
advantages in these lines will be clear
to any one who considers carefully the
situation of the county as to transpor-
tation facilities. roads and the general

MOST ACCESSIBLE LOCATION
Newport Is Best Location for the
County Seat,
Easily Reached From All Points

In considering the matter OF county
seat location the most important ques-
ton is that of accessibility of location
which town is easiest for the people to
reach and do business in. Geographical
location does not necessarily mean con-
venience of access from all parts OF the
county.
Transportation and Typographical
features of the county are the two fac
tors that determine ease of access. Ii
exact geographical location were the
only point to be considered Ruby would
come nearest being the proper place for
the county seat.
From the viewpoint of transportation
facilities and the general lay of the
country, Newport has great advan-
tage over the other contestants In the
county seat race. Located on the main
lines of the Great Northern and l. q
w. NJ, the only railroads reaching the
county, it is at the gateway to all OF
the county-is on the way to the out
side world for most of the residents of
the county.
There are but few individuals or in
dustries located in Pend Oreille county
which do not have their outlet and con-
nection with Spokane-the chief market
place of this section-and the outside
world, through Newport. Every resi-
dent of the county makes more or less
frequent trips to Spokane or to points
east or west on the main lines of the
transcontinental railroads. Can there
be a more convenient place for the
county seat than the town through
which the traffic of the county passes?
70 do business outside the county,
stop off at Newport and do business at
the county seat-has been found most
convenient to many residents of the
county during the past year and a half.
The stop at Newport and transaction of
business at the court house is made
with the least possible loss of time and
a saving for both individuals and those
who are doing business at the county
seat at the expense of the county.

Establishing Park Board

At the regular meeting of the town
council, held Tuesday evening, the first
step for the creation of a park board
for the town of Newport was taken by
the introduction of Ordinance No. 1872,
which provides that park board, con-
sisting of three members, shall be ap-
pointed by the mayor and serve during
the pleasure of that official.
Committees reported that the town
Jail had been repaired and placed in
sanitary condition, and is now in readi-
ness to receive prisoners, also that alley
electric lights had been provided for in
accordance with the resolution adopted
at the last meeting of the council.
A petition was received from the
Loyal Temperance Legion, an organiza-
tion of young people of the town, ask
lug that the council enjoin saloon men
and druggists from purchasing empty
beer and liquor bottles from children.
The petition recited that the practice
of collecting the bottles endangered the
morals of the children, and tempted
them to drink the remnants of liquor
that might remain in the bottles, and
placed them in danger of contracting
the drink habit. The petition was or
dered placed on file.
The special committee which had the
duty in charge reported an estimate of
the receipts and disbursements of the
town for the ensuing year, on which the
council will base it's axlevy. The esti-
mate is published in another column of
| this issue of THE MINER.

County Matters of Interest

In this issue of THE MINER will be
found publications of matters of county
business, which are of interest to all
residents and taxpayers of the county.
The proceedings of the Board of
Equalization covers two whole pages,
and is of particular interest as showing
the much discussed reduction of valua-
tion on holdings of the Panhandle Lum-
ber Co. This company was given a re-
duction of 20 per cent on timber valua-
tion, where the company owned both
land and timber. In the record of the
proceedings Of the board will be found
every description of land on which a
reduction was made, the valuation placed
on it by the assessor and the valuation
after the reduction was made. Owners
of property adjoining the Panhandle
holdings that were reduced can, by
looking over this list, determine for
themselves whether the company was
entitled to the reduction given it.
Another interesting publication is the
estimate of expenses and receipts of the
county for the ensuing year. On this
estimate will be based the tax levy ior
the year, and an opportunity is given
for taxpayers who have objections to
offer against the proposed expenditures
to appear before the Board of Commits
sioners on Oct. 7and enter their protest.

COUNTY FAIR HERE NEXT WEEK
Valuable Prizes Hung Up for Bes,
Farm Exhibits.
|. 8 W. N. Gives Reduced Rates

The two Pend Oreille county fairs
vii engage the attention of the people
next week. First will come the Calls
pei Valley District Exhibit at Cusick on
Tuesday and Wednesday, Sept. "a and
Is. On Friday and Saturday, Sept. 27
and %, will occur the Pend Oreille Dis
trlct Fair at Newport. The two ez-
hlblts were arranged for the same week
so that ranchers could show at both,
and combined exhibit could then be
arranged to be made at the Spokane
Interstate Fair, to be held the following
week.
The local fair management made ap-
plication to the Idaho & Washington
Northern Railroad for reduced rates for
the Fair, and word was received today
that the request had been granted.
Tickets at one and one-third fare for
the round trip will be on sale at all sta
tions on the l. & W. N. on Sept. 27 and
%, with return privileges good includ-
ing the 29th.
A similar request was made of the
Great Northern and will doubtless be
granted, but no word regarding same
has been received as yet.
Inquiries from many ranchers and
applications for space at the Newport
Fair show that there will be a lively
competition for the valuable premiums,
and that the ranchers recognize the ad-
vantages that accrue to this section
from the holding of local fairs.
Arrangements have been made for
securing the services of outside judges,
so that fair and impartial treatment to
all exhibitors is assured.
The Fred B. Grinnell Silver Trophy
Cup, donated by Mr.. Grinnell, to be
awarded to the best exhibit of products
from logged-off lands, has arrived and
is now on exhibition. It is
indeed a handsome piece of
silver, and rivals for beauty the cup
donated by Louis W. Hill for the best
individual agricultural exhibit. The
Grinnell cup is massive article, with
gold-lined bowl and stag-horn handles,
mounted on a handsome ebony base.

CHERBOURG, June S.-The

while participating in naval
maneuvers here today, collided
with the battleship Saint Louis
and instantly sank in 1S0 feet OF
water. Twenty firemen were

believed it Is impossible that they
can escape. A rescue ship was
at once rushed to the scene OF the
disaster. The minister of marine
declared the entire crew of the
vessel probably has persisted.
The divers sent out to searcn
for the Vendemaire could not
reach the bottom. Experts as
sert that submarine currents are
strong at the scene of the disas-
ter and that they probably car
ried the vessel far from where
she sank.
All hope of saving Lieut..

crew of 22 men has been aban-
doned.

Taft Men Hold Meeting.
Finn declared that the nation
al committee would oust every
Roosevelt contestant.
The Taft leaders held a meet
Ing at the same time.
Congressman Mckinley teie-
phoned to William III. Barnes,
jr., of New York that Finn had
boasted that Colonel Roosevelt
would get "a of New York's dele
gates on roll call and that this
would upset the national COM
mittee's ork. He told Barnes to
"stiffen UP" the delegates and
urged Barnes to come here as
soon as possible.
The LaFollette people profess
to believe that the Taft men, II
Taft cannot be nominated, will
throw their support to LaFollette.
Finn is hot over a report that
he himself planned a popular
demonstration to impress the ma
tional convention with the lair
ness of the Roosevelt claims.
Its all a damn lie, was Films
answer to request for verifica-
tion Of the report.
The Pennsylvania asserted
that Roosevelt was coming here
but he could not say when, ad-
ding:
"The committee is already un-
der suspicion. feel certain that
1t Is plotting to deprive the peo-
pie of their rights. The colonel
is coming to show the people that
he Is still their friend and repre-
sentative.
William B. Mckinley, director
of the national Taft bureau, this
afternoon denounced Roosevelt
for the colonel's comments at
Oyster Bay this morning on the
Alabama contests. He said he
understood that Roosevelt had
abandoned the idea of incorporat-
ing in his platform the recall of
judicial decisions, adding:
Roosevelt would like to make
dramatic entrance into Chicago,
enter the convention hall amid
the acclaim of his followers,
which would be music in his ego
tistic ear. Like Ajax defying the
lightning, he has defied the unan-
imous verdict of the republican
national committee, including his
own friends.
The committee by vote of AZ
to 10, decided to seat the Taft
delegates from the Fifth Arkan.
