1t is currently reported that the Pan
handle Lumber Co., Dalkena Lumber
Company and tho Spokane Lumber Co.
have united to place all of their logged
off lands on the market, and that the
work of classifying the land is now in
progress, a beginning on the work hav-
ing been made on the Spokane Lumber
Co. lands near Diamond Lake.
The selling of the lands will be handled
by well known Spokane real estate
firm and an effort will be made to keep
the lands out of the hands of specula-
tors, the idea being to get actual set
tiers who will improve the lands and
and forward the development of the
country.
If the lands are placed on the market
at reasonable price and sold on con-
tracts to run a period of years so set
tiers can handle them without too great
a cash outlay, the country will have
taken great step toward development
of its agricultural resources.

Navarre's pitching has attracted
great deal of attention. In the twelve
games he pitched he struck out 1872
batters, an average of Is to a game,
and allowed but 81 hits, less than three
game. In the games of June 8, June
80 and July 4th, he performed his great
est feats, striking out 50 batters in
the three games, allowing but five hits,
and did not walk a man. Navarro is
q years old and weighs but 145 pounds.
With his wonderful control and con-
sistent pitching there is no doubt abut
that he will make mark in the game
and his career will be watched with in
terest by the many friends he made in
Newport.
Several league managers have been
in correspondence with Tom Judge, try
ing to sign up Navarro and Judge fin
ally accepted for Navarro an offer from

Boosting Main Highway

DR.. Frye of Bonners Ferry, was a
Newport visitor Monday in the interest
of the movement for the main highway
from Spokane to Glacier Park, Mon
tana, and inquiring as to conditions
along the road in Pend Oreille county.
The counties of Bonner, Idaho, Flat
head and Lincoln, Montana, have taken
hold of the project vigorously and
enough work will be done this year to
make it in fairly good condition through
those counties. Bonner county is
somewhat short of funds but will ex-
pend some $6, 900 between Priest River
and the Montana line, and the Montana
counties are in shape to take care of
their end of the work.
DR.. Frye was assured that so far as
Pend Oreille county was concerned the
road was now in excellent condition
and no expenditure would be required
to put it in first class shape for any
kind of traffic. The same holds good in
Spokane county and as far as Priest
River in Bonner county.
Considerable interest is being taken
in Newport in this big project and ar
rangements have been made whereby
the town will be represented at future
meetings of the communities along the
line of the proposed road.
