Sewage Disposal

In the last issue of the Pend Orellle
Press. of Cusick, there is published a
communication from John r. Patter-
son, relative to the proposed sewer
system of the town of Newport, and
mention is made of the fact that the
plans of the engineer call for disposal
of the sewage to the river.
While it is true that the plans as
submitted to the town council by Engi-
neer Weile, of Spokane, provide for
such disposal, it is also true that the
matter of septic disposal was brought
up at the recent public hearing held by
town council of the sewer matter, and
the engineer was instructed to prepare
plans for septic disposal.
It is estimated that septic disposal
will cost but little more than it would
to dump the sewage into the river with
treating it. The town council and the
citizens of the town have no intention
of polluting the waters of the Pend
Oreille river, and creating real or
fancied menace to the health of the
of the lower river people, who are de-
pendent on the river for their water
supply.
At present writing it looks somewhat
doubtful whether the proposed sewer
system will be built in the near future,
but the time will come when it's need
will be absolutely imperative. When
that time does come the citizens of
Newport will not lose sight of the fact
that it's interests are identical with
those of the people of the entire county.

Ocean Musicians

Apart from the ordinary risks Of sea
travel one of the most comfortable po-
sitions on a big ocean liner is that of
a member of the orchestra. True, the
pay is not high. but it is considerably
increased in various ways. Four and
a half hours work daily is all that is
required by these makers of melody:
but, Of course, they have rehearsals
and sometimes learn several new pieces
in the course of a voyage. The play
ers are booked as passengers on every
trip and take their meals in the sa-
loon. On the first two days of a voy-
age they are not very popular. but on
the third day. when seasickness eff
fects are wearing off, there is general
ly lot of appreciation for the band

Forest Ranger Drowned

Lou McAbee, Forest ranger in the
employ of the Kaniksu National Forest,
stationed in the country east of Meta
line Falls, was drowned in the waters
of Sullivan Lake Saturday evening
about 7:30 o'clock. Mr.. McAbee and a
party of friends were enjoying some
sports on the lake, and McAbee and a
friend were engaged in a log-rolling
contest, when he slipped into the water.
The body was recovered in very short
time, and strenuous efforts made to re-
store the spark of life. Those present
worked over the body for more than
two hours, until the arrival of DR..
Hiett from Metaline Falls, who pro-
nounced life extinct.
McAbee was about 81 years old, a
brother of ''Doc" and Lambert, we'll
known residents of the Sullivan Lake
country. The body was shipped to the
home of his parhnts in Wisconsin on
Monday.

Democrats are going to pay particular
attention to the tariff in their fight
for the election of Governor Wilson.
The President wants his campaign
managers to convince the people that
the platform promises for tariff re-
vision of 1908 have been faithfully
performed. He wants to get close to
the rural vote which has not always
agreed with him on the question of the
tariff and which is not entirely salts
fled with the Governments attitude
toward Canadian reciprocity. The
Republican managers will also appeal
to the American workman to consider
the tariff platform of their party for
the protection of his present wage
scale.
Mr.. Taft was particular in issuing
invitations for the notification meet
ing to include many politicians who
have shown an inclination to favor
the Roosevelt movement. These he
will entertain with the regular Repub'
licans at the White House and stress
will be brought upon them to unite
with the party to make the fall cam
paign a success. Mr.. Taft hopes to
day to do much to Offset the effect OF
the Bull Moose national convention
which convenes at Chicago next Mon
day. vice-President Sherman will
be told at Utica.

vention of the Progressive party Of
Indiana opened its convention here
today in Tomlinson Hall, with dele
gates present from all the counties
of the state. The Bull Moose move
ment in Indiana promises to be of
exceedingly unusual interest, because
of the fact that Ex-senator Albert j..
Beveridge is expected to receive the
nomination for Governor. Progress
sive leaders declare that his presence
on the ticket will give strength to the
Roosevelt following in Indiana. The
convention will nominate state, legis-
lative and congressional tickets in
Indiana, despite the attacks that are
being made against the Progressives
by some of the newspapers of the
state. They declare that these at
tacks are inspired by regulars who
are alarmed over the prospect of hav
ing many of their county and legisla
tive tickets defeated. Edwin M. Lee
is chairman of the Progressive move
ment in Indiana and he will in all
probability be made permanent chair
man of the convention.
