Socialist Addresses

R. B. Martin, of Opportunity, Spo-
kane county, addressed a Socialist
meeting at the Moose Hall Saturday
evening. Mr.. Martin is widely known
throughout the state of Washington,
having affiliated himself with number
of public movements, such as the cause
of woman's suffrage, the Farmers
Grange and the initiative and referen-
dunn. His speech was listened to with
close attention and was warmly ap-
plauded.
At the close of Mr.. Martins talk the
floor was taken by Socialist organizer
from Lewiston, who has been working
in this county for several weeks. He
delivered an anarchistic harangue favor
ing confiscation of property and other
methods, which did not meet with the
approval of local supporters of the cause
and some of them showed theta disap-
proval by leaving the hall. George
Casey answered the organizer by in
forming him that the Socialists of this
section were not in sympathy with his
methods or theories and inviting him to
terminate his work in the county, which
the fellow did, taking the first train out
the next morning.

Mining News Notes of Interest

The Moeser Lumber Company's mill
at Newport started operations Tuesday
morning. They have on hand about one
million feet of the best quality of yell
low and white pine logs and expect the
delivery in the yards as soon as weather

The Panhandle Lumber Co. is prepar-
ing to start big logging camp with 25
teams and about 100 men, to take off
timber on half section of land belong
ing to Mrs. Pettus, located near the
Gun Club property, on the east side of
Calispel Lake.
The companies owning logs in the
West Branch of Priest River are having

NEWS ITEMS OF RAILROADS.
Great Northern Track Revision
Work Progressing
More Trains on |. g W. N. Soon

More than 1000 men are employed at
the present time in the improvement
work being done by the Great Northern
on their line between Newport and Bon
ners Ferry. The work extends from a
point about five miles east of Newport
to Moravia, the first station west OF
Bonners Ferry.
Much of the work is of a heavy char
acter, and necessitates the removal OF
large quantities of rock in making the
cuts, by which the line of the road will
be greatly improved, curves being elm
mated and grades being made lighter.
It is understood that there will be an
absence of tunnels on the new line.
Several steam shovels are being oper-
ated at various points, and the number
of dinkey engines employed in carrying
the debris from the cuts to the various
fills will exceed 80. At several points
the temporary trestles that are to be
filled in with dirt and rock extend quite
a distance out into the river.
Numerous accidents have occurred
during the past few weeks on the work,
two men being killed by one slide and
one losing his life by being struck by a
train during the past few days.
1t is understood that as soon as this
section of work is finished, and it is
expected that it will be completed this
year, that the company will begin the
work of Strengthening the line between
Newport and Spokane. The surveys
were made several years ago, and the
work will be very heavy, as the surveys
show that the present line will be di-
verted in radical manner.
General Manager Blackwell, of the
Idaho &. Washington Northern, is au-
thority for the statement that double
passenger train service on the road will
be resumed at some date between May
l and Is. The trains will run on about
the same schedule as formerly. The
restoration of this service will be a
benefit to all the territory along the
line, and will greatly facilitate the
transaction of all kinds of business.
Business on the Idaho & Washington
The Newport miner. [volume] (Newport, Wash.) 1899-current, 1912-04-11

Northern continues to show crafty.
ing increase especially in the freight
department. The southbound freight
on Monday took out 81 loads from New
port and the down river country, in
cluded in the lot being 13 cars of
cement, making a heavy trainload.
On car of cement loaded to capacity
the road earns a revenue of about $40.
There is probability that the I. &
w. N. will build logging road up
Davis Creek some time this coming
summer, but according to all reports
there is slight probability of any other
railroad extension receiving considera-
tion this year. The building of the log
ging railroad depends entirely on the
lumber market, which just now is quite
encouraging.

REPUBLICAN CONVENTION CALL
To Meet at Newport Tuesday,
May the 9TH.
Political News Notes of the Day.

A delegate convention of the Repub-
licans of Pend Oreille county is hereby
called to convene at Newport, Wash
ington, on Tuesday, May Z, 1912. at
1:3O o'clock p. M, for the purpose of
selecting five delegates to represent the
county at the state convention, to be
held at Aberdeen, Wash, on Wednes-
day, May Is, at which delegates to rep
resent the state at the national conven-
tion in Chicago will be selected.
The basis of representation in the
county convention will be one delegate
from each precinct and one for each ten
votes or major fraction thereof cast for
the head of the ticket at the election of
1910.
Precincts will be entitled to delegates
as follows:

The Democratic county convention to
be held at Newport Saturday, April 13,
will convene at Fid's Opera instead of
at the court house as previously an
nounced, the court room being in use
for the assessors meeting.
The results of the Illinois primaries
were distinct disappointment to the
local supporters of the Republican ad-
ministration and the Progressive Dem
ocrats of the community, who are back
ing the Woodrow Wilson candidacy.
Roosevelt carried the state by 5 to 2
vote and Clark beat Wilson about to l.
The publication in THE MINER last
week of the declaration of principles
adopted by the Socialists of Pend Oreille
county, in convention at Cusick, has
caused considerable comment The
general view Of the subject, and one
that is held by many local members of
the Socialist party, is to the effect that
no good can be accomplished by gen.
eral attack on county officials, and that
the charges should be either made good
or withdrawn. AS yetno specific charges
have been made against any member of
the county staff.
An effort is being made by local
Democratic leaders to get Hugh Todd,
of Seattle, to attend the mass meeting
to be held in Newport Saturday, at
which time delegates will be selected
to the state convention at Walla Walla.
Todd is in Eastern Washington at pres
ent working in the organization of Will
son supporters, but the local leaders
have as yet been unable to get in touch
with him. He was member or the
last legislature from Whitman county,
and is strongly talked of as a candidate
for governor, although he is but %
years old.
There appears to be little doubt but
that the Republican sentiment of the
county favors President Taft for re-
nomination, and that the Democrats
are progressive enough to want real
Progressive in the person of Woodrow
Wilson. While Roosevelt had many
admirers in this section, he also had
many enemies on account of his Forest
Reserve policy, which has tied up over
third of the lands of the county. His
former admirers believe he should have
stayed out of the fight, and his old time
opponents have in no sense gotten over
their grievance. Unless some radical
change in sentiment occurs Pend Oreille
county Republican delegates to the state
convention will support Taft and the
Democrats Wilson.

The meeting authorized the purchase
of the Comstock, Key Fraction, Last
Chance, Montana and Idaho claims,
which has been consummated by the
secretary of the company.
Two samples taken from the Key
Fraction showed an assay of $91. 80 and
$98. 81 per ton, and one sample from the
Comstock assaved 500. "a per ton.
1t is reported that the Bead Lake
equipment, that has been in use on the
long tunnel on the main Bead Lake
property, will be moved down to the
Key Fraction claim, and used in further
investigating that property and the
Comstock.
There is considerable activity appar@
ent in mining circles in the territory in
which these recent transfers were made,
and men who are familiar with that
section are firm in the belief that de-
velopment work under way at this time
will prove the camp.
Business men of the town have con-
tributed $100 to help A. L. Ries in the
work of unwatering the main shaft of
the Eagle mine. The shaft is 215 feet
deep and has not been unwatered dur
ing the past eight years. Mr.. Ries is
confident that if he can get the water
out he will be able to interest capital
for further development.

ton was granted and May %, 1912, was

County Grange have extended an invi-
tation to ]. E. Frost, president of the

Frost has accepted and will be here on
that date, taking for his subject,
Needed Tax Reforms.
Mr.. Frost's remarks at the time the
hearing was held on the question of
cruising the county lands, so impressed
the members of the Grange who heard
him, that they wished to hear further
remarks from him on taxation problems
and this invitation was extended. Mr..
Frost is one of the best posted men in
the country on these subjects, and all
who can should arrange to hear him.
1t will be an open meeting and an invi-
tation is extended to all to be present.
