STRUCK BY FAST MAIL TRAIN
Penrith Boy Instantly Killed Last
Friday Afternoon.
Train Grew Are Held Blameless.

Harold, the 7-year-old son of Mrs.
Jos. Buechel. residing at Penrith, was
struck by the Fast Mail train. west
bound, Friday afternoon and instantly
killed.
The boy, with several companions,
was playing in the neighborhood of the
grade crossing near the Hoyer store
when the train approached. The young
sters, thoughtless of the danger, ran
back and forth across the track several
tsmes. The engineer Of the train, which
is the fastest in the Northwest,
observed the boys, and, applying the
emergency brake. made every effort to
stop his train, but Harold was struck a
glancing blow by the pilot and was
thrown about eighty feet into the slough
on the south side of the track. The
train was backed up and trainmen, hur-
rying to pick up the body, found that
ne had been instantly killed, his neck
being broken and skull crushed.
The local Great Northern officials
were Immediately informed Of the affair
and the county authorities notified. DR..
Hiett, at Metaline Falls, was called up,
and, on being informed of the circum-
stances of the affair, deputized Justice
Long to act as deputy coroner. Mr..
Long made an investigation the same
evening, and from the testimony Of
eye-witnesses decided that the employees
of the railroad were in no wise to blame
for the accident. 1t appears that child
ren of the neighborhood had formed the
habit Of crossing and re-crossing the
tracks in front Of moving trains, and in
this instance had misjudged the speed
of the fast train.
The funeral of the unfortunate lad
was held Sunday afternoon, services
being conducted at the Catholic church
in this city.
Mrs. Buechel, the sorrowing mother,
has the sympathy of many friends. For
several years she has had to bear more
than her portion of the burdens, her
husband having died two years ago,
after having been committed to Medical
Lake.

COUNTY'S SCHOOLS EXPENSIVE
County Superintendent Report
Shows Expenditures
Districts Must Get On Cash Basis

The annual report Of County Superln-
tendent of Schools Miss Soules, for the
year ending June 80, 1912, is an inter
esting document, and perusal OF same
indicates the amount of money that the
people of this county are expending to
maintain their public school system.
The report shows that the school dis
tricts of the county expended during
the fiscal year the sum Of S57, 1856
Teachers salaries amounted to s3l,-
578.12. For rent, repairs, fuel, text
books, ETC., there was expended the
sum of SO, ,541.51. Building sites,
buildings, furniture, apparatus and IL
braries cost SIS, 346. 03.
The net Indebtedness Of all the school
districts of the county totals up $3,-
334.02. Of this the Newport district,
No. l, has almost one-half, $40, 949. .08.
The other districts Of the county
which have Indebtedness are as follows:

of Stevens county.

called to pay had they remained part
of Stevens county.
The people of this county have paid
something like $50, 900 in road and bridge
taxes for the year 1911. They have
paid off road district Indebtedness, in
herited from Stevens county, amount
ing to s14, 600, and the remainder Of the
the road tax will have been expended
within this county by the end of the
year. Every resident of the county
knows that there has been more money
expended and more good work accom-
plished in one year on the roads on this
side than in any three years Of the per-
iod during which we were portion of
Stevens county. In addition the lone
ferry has been built and is being oper-
at a cost of $50 per month, S400 has
has been contributed toward the build
ing of the Blueslide ferry, and $50 per
month is paid toward the operation of
the Usk ferry.
The reference to the proposed bridge
across the Pend Oreille at Newport is
absolutely misleading. At no time has
there been any thought of constructing
bridge at the expense Of the taxpayers
Of Pend Oreille county. The facts in
the case are that the commissioners Of
Bonner county met in joint session with
the Pend Oreille county board, and res
olutions were passed proposing that
each county endeavor to secure appro-
priations from their respective states
for the building of joint bridge, each
state to contribute an equal amount for
the construction of the same. All the pro-
ceedings of this meeting were published
at the time, and there is no justification
for distorting the facts.
The ferry at Newport was built by
the Fidelity Lumber Co. and citizens of
Newport. The expense Of operation
has been borne continuously by Bonner
county. and it has never cost the tax
payers Of Pend Oreille or Stevens coun-
rief a single cent.
The Spirit Lake Chautauqua has been
drawing quite a number Of people from
Newport this week. About 20 went
over Sunday and others heard John
Mitchell on Monday. Wednesday morn
ing a special train was run from Meta
line Falls, but on account Of short no.
tice of the service but few went from
here, although there was good crowd
from down-river points. Next Friday
is Shriners' Day and a number from
Newport will be there.

PERSISTENT IN MISLEADING
Usk Paper Makes Statements
Without Warrant.
County Division Has SavedMoney

In each Of the last four issues Of the
Calispel Valley Times, of Usk, there
has appeared an article headed 'tVoters
Be Careful, which is full of misleading
statements, and from its continued
publication there can be no doubt Of the
authors wilful intention to deceive its
readers.
The article contains the following:
1T is safe to say that the people OF
Pend Oreille county pay more actual
taxes than any other county in the
United States, and this is not all. Our
present county officials are still lacking
funds to carry out their proposed ex-
penditures. They say we need bridge
across the Pend Orelle at Newport.
Who does this benefit? Newport. The
over-burdened property holder Of Pend
Oreille county pays the bill. "
Regarding the matter Of tax levies
the following figures Of Washington
counties will quickly refute the above
statements: Pend Oreille county pays
state and county tax of q mills;
Stevens, %; Pacific, 21.40; Island,
1903: Okanogan, "a; Thurston. 20. The
percentage of assessed valuation to
actual valuation in these same counties
is as follows: Pend Oreille, g. "a
Stevens, 1924; Pacific, 25.23: Island,
All; Okanogan, 81. 95; Thurston, 10, 80.
Whatever taxes are paid above the
q mills are entirely for local purposes,
and these additional taxes are levied
according to the demands and necessi-
ties Of each community.
To show where the bulk of money
that is paid in taxes is expended, We
will take as an illustration School Dis
trict No. Is, the Usk district. Tomain-
tain the schools of that district it cost
81. 78 per cent of all the taxes collected,
and for road and bridge purposes the
cost was 1927 per cent, making total
of 81. .05 per cent of all taxes expended
in the territory where it is collected.
As a matter of fact the people Of
Pend Oreille county have paid 50, COS. Il
less taxes than they would have been

To Testify as TO Valuations

NJ. ]. Carrigan, member of the
State Tax Commission, will be in New
port on Friday and Saturday of this
week, to hold public hearing, in the
effort to ascertain the relation of the
assessed valuation of property in this
county to its actual market value.
Members Of the Tax Commission are
holding these hearings in various parts
Of the state, securing information on
which to base the work of the commits
sion in the equalization of values be-
tween the various counties.
The Tax Commission has had prepared
by Auditor Murray list of all the real
estate transfers made in the county
during the past year, showing the prop
erty transferred and the consideration
involved. In many instances deeds go
on record in which property, more or
less valuable, is shown to have been
transferred for a consideration of 81,
the instrument giving no clue as to the
actual valuation. People who have
bought or sold property for minor con-
siderations during the year have been
subpoenaed to appear before Mr.. Car
rigan and testify as to the actual value
Of the property involved in the transfer.
Some rs of these parties have been
summoned to testify at the hearing.
people from all parts of the county and
the sheriff's force have been busy this
week serving these subpoenaes. The
commission has all the rights of a court
in seeking testimony to bring lightu
the subject. Others who have not made
transfers of property, but who are ia
miliar with real estate conditions, have
also been summoned to appear and
testify.
After hearing the testimony
the commission compares the ac-
tual or market value at
which the properties were sold with the
assessable value as returned by the
deputy assessors, and in this manner
arrives at the percentage of assessed
valuation to actual, and on this percent
age the railroads operating in this coun-
ty are assessed.

Thirteen Of the districts will have to

IA, Is and Is. must hold an election to
validate their indebtedness before bonds
can be issued. as they have exceeded
the one and one-half per cent indebted
ness on assessable valuation that the
law permits.
There have been six new school
houses erected in the county during the
scar and two remodeled.
