FATHERS GIVE SKIN TO SAVE THREE SONS BOYS WHO WE'RE BURNED AT BONFTRES AND PARENTS HAVE THANKSGIVING REUNION
 IN HOSPITAL.

New York, Nov 29-In Lebanon hospital. Caldwell and Westchester avenues, the Bronx, three happy fa- thers and three equally happy though suffering sons held a Thanksgiving reunion yesterday, to testify to their thankfulness over the approaching re- cQrery of the sons from burns due to 10nf1res in the last few weeks. All (of the fathers had given many square inches of their cuticle for their sons recovery
 Thomas Kyle, five years old. of 863 Dawson street, was severely burned on the legs and abdomen 8 month ago and his father, John Kyle, gave twen- ty-four inches of his skin. A similar amount of cuticle was given by ThoTn- srs Scholer to his son, John S8aoler tive years old, of S62 Hewitt street, who was burned on the back and arms, six weeks ago. Henry Sesten- -erburger, of 1870 Washington avenue, gave eighteen inches of his skin to his son. August. seven years old, who was burned one month ago.
 All three boys were operated on and the skin grafted from the respective parents to their own bodies on Tues day last by Dr. H. M. Kaiden, chief surgeon of the hospital. The fathers and sons enjoyed themselves eating a hearty turkey dinner and listening to stories of the elders of the party. The fathers are able to leave the institu- sion,s but the boys will be detained there for several weeks yet.

Roosevelt Shot

Col. Theodore Roosevelt, Progressive
candidate for President, was shot in the
right side Monday evening, while on his
way to make speech at Milwaukee,
Wis. Mr.. Roosevelt is now in Chi
cago hospital, and reports from his bed
side are to the effect that it is not likely
that there will be any serious results
from his injuries. His life was saved
by the manuscript of his speech in his
right hand coat pocket.
It is not likely that Col. Roosevelt
will be able to make any more campaign
speeches this year, but the Progressive
campaign will be continued vigorously.
The remarkable character of the man
was again demonstrated by the fact
that, Notwithstanding his injuries, he
continued his journey to the hall, and
spoke for an hour before he became too
weak to continue. His assailant was
captured and is confined in the Jail at
Milwaukee awaiting trial. The assault
on Col. Roosevelt has evoked express
sions of horror and coincidence from all
closes of people in this country and
from noted people all over the world.

LESS TAX MONEY REQUIRED
Levies Are Greatly Reduced All
Along the Line.
$4,000 Less Taxes Than 1911.

The Board of Commissioners on FRI
day completed the work of making
levies for 1912 taxes, and the actual re-
suits of the assessment of this year can
now be computed.
The total of the state and county
levies is 16 mills, of which the state
levy is nearly mills. The total amount
OF taxes to be raised in the county is
SIT, PIG. "a, a decrease of SIT, ,799. .O6
over 1911. This big decrease has been
accomplished despite the fact that the
fact that the state tax is $8264 higher
than it was in 1911.
The taxpayers of the county are to be
congratulated on this reduction in the
amount Of taxes to be paid. The fact
that the total of taxes is so much less
is the only criterion on which to Judge
the manner in which the affairs of the
county are managed.
Stevens county's state and county
levies foot up to total of q mills, as
compared with the 16 mills for the new
county. Every development of business
management and every comparison that
can be made goes to show that the
residents of Pend Oreille county are
saved money in taxes by the division.
lone and Metaline Falls did not re-
quire levy for political purposes.
Newport made a levy of SIS mills, which
will bring in the sum of $2408. "a in
taxes. Last year property in Newport
was taxed 43 mills for all purposes.
This year the tax will be 31.5 mills,
which is about the comparative reduc-
ton in every school district in the
county.
The levies in some of the school dis
tricts run as low as 1876 mills, in some
of them no special school district levy
being required.
When the work of making the assess.
ment was started last spring, and AS
SCISSOR Purchase announced the intention
of bringing up the valuation to a higher
per centage of actual valuation, there
were many who claimed that no mattel
how high the valuation was raised th'
levies would not be reduced, and tina

NEWPORT'S STRENGTH GROWS
Its County Seat Advantages Rec
ognized by Voters.
Removal Would Mean Expense.

With election day less than three
weeks ahead it is now possible to get
good lineup on the situation as to the
county seat vote. That Newport's su-
perior advantages for the location were
recognized and admitted in all parts Of
the county has been apparent ever since
the organization of the county, and as
people became accustomed to coming to
Newport as the county seat and OBJ
served the excellent courthouse facili-
ties possessed by the county at this
place, this feeling has continued to grow
and the strength of the town is ad
mitted by even its strongest opponents.
While the people of the various towns
which are candidates for the county
seat naturally feel that theirs is the
best point, yet the large majority who
reside in territory not directly inter-
ested in the contestants are strongly in
clined toward Newport, recognizing the
fact that it is the most easily accessible
for all parts of the county, and for that
reason the most economical point for
the transaction of both public and pri-
vate business at the county seat.
At all times in the contest there has
been on the part Of many voters feel
ing of Indifference toward the attempt
to name some other town than New
port. This feeling can be measured
from no other viewpoint than that these
voters are we'll satisfied with the pres
ent location of the county seat and can
see no good cause for removal.
Naturally there are large number
of people from all parts of the county
visiting the county seat, and judging
from the volunteered expressions of the
large part of these voters, Newport
will draw good percentage of the vote
in the neutral territory. Voters who
have no direct interest in any of the
towns that are in the contest are gener-
ally inclined to the view that the county
is now we'll equipped at Newport for
the transaction of business, that our
town provides the best accommodations
for visitors, that it is most convenient
and economical to combine trip to the

ings. On Monday evening the enter

zens, who will extend welcome to the

county seat with journey to Spokane
or some other point east or west, and
that it would be needless and unwar-
ranted to put the county to the expense
of removal to some other point that
would not be as economical for the
county or the large part of its resi-
dents.
The question of expense of removal
at this time is one that should receive
serious consideration. The county does
not own a courthouse, but it has had to
go to the expense of building fireproof
vault and well equipped concrete Jail
building. The vault is an absolute ne
cessity for the safekeeping of records
worth fully $4,000. The Jail is also a
necessary piece of equipment. fiat the
election occurring in November, some
other town won the location of the
county seat, it would be necessary, ac-
cording to law, to move the county seat
within 90 days. This would necessitate
the erection of another vault and Jail,
which would have to be of temporary
character, as weather conditions in the
middle of winter will not permit the
erection at once of permanent struc-
lures. Either that or county records
would be at the risk of destruction for
some months until proper structures
could be provided. Keeping the county
seat at Newport saves the expense of
the change, and does away with the
necessity of building court house un-
til the county is in position to do so.
The Newport miner. [volume] (Newport, Wash.) 1899-current, 1912-10-17

the raising of the valuation would SIM
ply mean the imposing of more taxes.
The results, as shown above, are that
the levies are reduced larger percent-
age than the valuation was increased,
and over $4,000 less taxes will be re.
quired from the property owners of the
county.
The commissioners, in making road
levies, 81 mills for district No. l, 5
mills for district No. 2 and 81 mills for
district No 8, still provide for as much
money for roud work as was expended
the past year. The old road district
Indebtedness inherited from Stevens
county has been wiped out, and all
three road districts are on cash basis.
The county current expense fund levy
was cut from to mills, and it is esti-
mated that with per cent levy there
will be surplus of about $4,000 to apply
on outstanding current expense war
rants.
Pend Oreille county has been ex-
tremely fortunate in many ways, and
there is no small credit due to the
county commissioners and county Off
GERS for the manner in which they have
handled the business of the county.
The county is on a substantial basis,
and if no mistakes are made or big un-
necessary expense saddled onto the
taxpayer, there should be continued
decrease in the rate of taxation.

do in remedial way l am not able
