New Railroad Needed Across the North
ern Part of State

NV. Durham, of Spokane, candi-
date for congress from this district,
who for many years was editor of the
Spokesman-Review, in an article in last
Sundays Review, writes from Stevens
county, where he has been in attend
ance on the meeting of the Federated
Clubs. 9 Mr.. Durham perceives the need
of transcontinental road traversing
Washington east and west north of the
present lines, and his article is in line
with what The MINER has frequently
predicted the Great Northern will even
tually do-build from Newport across
the northern tier of counties to Puget
Sound, thereby considerably shortening
the distance to Vancouver and tapping
an immense empire of undeveloped
country.
The following is an extract from Mr..
Durham's article:
If the first transcontinental railroad
had found a route across the present
Stevens county, somewhere up there
would have been built the commercial
metropolis of the Inland Empire. De-
velopment of the natural resources of
new country is most active along the
transcontinental lines, and slowest at
points remote. Unfortunately none of
the transcontinental roads has swung
across Stevens county and DEVELOPMENT
OF its marvellous natural resources has
been comparatively slow. But time will
adjust all that, and there is some COM
pensatlon in the fact that counties like
Steuens, Pend Oreille, Ferry and Okan-
ogan can now look forward to a longer
period OF development than other coun-
ties that lie in the zone of transconti-
mental lines.
When another transcontinentaI road
shall push its way over the Rocky
Mountains Spokane will do well to throw
whatever influence it may possess for
the railways diversion to a northern
route-not only in spirit of helpful
ness to neighbor, but from a motive
OF intelligent self-interest; for trans
continental road across our northern
Tier OF counties would give them more
rapid and thorough development, and
indirectly bring greater benefit to
Spokane than could come from its ac-
QUESTION of still another main line.

prizes 1t is urging commercial clubs,
other organizations and individuals to
assume the responsibility for the prizes
and for starting the competition. Flow
er garden contests for girls and family
garden or potato growing contests for
boys are suggested. The college is
sending information about the growing
of vegetables or flowers and blanks
upon which to record yields, sales and
other information desired by the
judges.
Contests already have been started
in some towns For civic improve
,ment and for promoting civic PRIDE
not to mention the other advantages,
the contests have proved valuable. In
some places this competition has been
started in an effort to get the town
cleaned up generally as a part Of
'city beautiful campaign. Nothing
improves towns appearance more
than transforming it's bare or weed
ridden lots into vegetable and flower
gardens.
The family garden contests are open
to boys and girls. too. between the
ages of ten and twenty. whether in
town or on the farm. The garden
plot is to be SO by 100 feet. IN this
plot are to be grown at least ten va
rieties out of a list of sixteen of the
common varieties Of vegetables This
is the sixteen from which to select:
String beans. peas. radishes, lettuce.
cabbage, onions, beets. sweet corn.
parsnips. satisfy, carrots, tomatoes.
spinach. .turnips. cucumbers and pep
pers.
In awarding the prizes these points
are to be Considered: The total amount
Of vegetables produced. the cost of
material and labor and the method of
rotation whereby the ground or plot
may be made to yield one or more va
rieties Of vegetables throughout the
growing season.

Halloween Party

The annual Halloween party of

held Wednesday evening at the G..
A. r. Hall, where the members of
the Circle entertained their hus-
bands and friends and a number of
invited guests right royalty. The
gentlemen, when they arrived at
eight o'clock, found the hall in the
possession of most dreadful looking
ghosts and witches-and many a
man was a long time in recognizing
his own wife, to say nothing of the
other ladies.
After partners had been chosen
in unique way and the gentlemen
had been given sufficient time to
recognize their chosen ladies, the
latter unmasked and the fun that
followed was fast and furious.
The hall was charmingly deco
rated with black cats, bats, jack-o'.
lanterns and autumn leaves. Re-
.freshments of pumpkin pie, dough
nuts, cider, coffee, marshmaIlows
and fruit were served, and the
remainder of the evening was spent
in games and contests appropriate
to the occasion. Altogether this
was one of the most delightful of
the many Halloween parties Of the
Circle.
