CELEBRATION GREAT SUCCESS
Good Crowd Enjoyed Fourth at
Newport.
No Accidents to Mar the Day

Newport's Fourth of July celebration
was carried out according to program
and everybody seemed to be well pleased
with the entertainment offered. Owing
to the numerous celebrations at nearby
points the crowd was not as large as
has been here on previous occasions but
at least a thousand visitors came to
join in the celebration. Priest River
and down river points were we'll rep
resented
The program of the day started with
the speaking at the stand erected op-
posite the Martin hotel. Mayor George
T. Heslin extended a welcome to the
visitors and invited them to enjoy the
hospitality of the town. Miss Rubo
Lusher read the Declaration of Inde
pendence and S. J. Appleman and E.
S. Appel delivered addresses, touching
on the spirit of the day as it affects the
new problems confronting the country.
Following the addresses came the
horse races after which came intermis-
sion for the noon hour.
At 2 p. m. the ball game between the
Newport and Kemp & Hebert teams
was called. Newport had all the best
of the argument and came near handing
the Spokane boys shut-out. Final
score was to l. Navarro pitched in
usual good form and scored % strike
outs, allowing but two hits. Brookner,
pitcher for the Spokane team, struck
out four and allowed ten hits.
Following the ball game shower
threatened to spoil the remainder of
the program but it clearedup sufficient
ly to permit carrying out the program
as advertised. Following is a list of
prize winners in the various events:
Horse race-Louis Kirchan, 1st and
End.
Ladies race-Ruby Vane, first; Kir-
chan, second.
Boys foot race - Raymond Davis,
first; Herbert McGee, second.
Girls foot race-Minnie Hitchcock,
first; Mary Davaz, second.
Mems foot race-Sandy Judge, first;
Davaz, second.

BASE BALL SEASON CLOSED
Team Won Eleven Out of Fifteen
Games Played.
Navarro Signed With Missoula.

The Newport ball team closed it's
season Sunday by winning a ten inning
game from the strong Knights of Col
umbus bunch of Spokane. The game
was played in drizzling rain but was
one of the most interesting seen here
this season.
Five home runs were batted out, two
by the Knights and three by the home
boys. A home run by Tom Judge in
the tenth decided the game. The local
fans herdly expected the game to come
to our side and were agreeably sur
prised and pleased at the outcome.
Final score to 8.
Navarro struck out ten of the visitors
and allowed four hits. Egan got five
of our fellows on the tanning list but
allowed II hits and only for sharp field
ing Newport's score would have run up
considerably
Fridays game with the Boston Bloom
ers was pretty much of a farce. The
Newport team went into the game
without pitcher and played rather
loosely feeling confident that they could
win at any stage. The four men and
five women who constituted the Bloomer
team played a fair game and when
they tied up the score the introduction
of another man as pinch hitter won
them them the victory, score to 6.
The season has been successful from
every point of view. The team won II
out of Is games played and ends the
season with money in the treasury.
Anyone having claim against the
team will be paid promptly upon pre-
sentiment of the claim as it is the de-
sire of the management to close up the
affairs of the club at once.
Much credit is due to Manager Neff
and Secretary Peterson for the manner
in which the team was handled. They
expended about $100 on the grounds, in
fencing etc., and have at all times had
a clean, gentlemanly lot of players in
the lineup. Every member of the team
has been employed steadily and there
is not an incident connected with the
game that leaves a bad taste.

Sewer Meeting July 10Th

Our people appear to be generally
overlooking the fact that on July 10th
the town council will hold public hear
ing at which the matter of installing
the first units of sewer system will
be discussed.
This is one of the most important
matters that has ever been taken up by
our town and it should receive more at
tention. Public spirited citizens should
attend this meeting and take part in
the discussion of the proposal.

Another Old Town Fire

Monday morning about 2:3O an alarm
of fire was turned in from Old Town,
the Palace saloon building having been
discovered in flames, The fire origi-
mated in the rear of the building and
the efforts of the people of that vicinity
to put out the fire were nearly success
full but their hose line broke and by the
time the Newport department could
reach the scene the fire was beyond
control and the building was totally
destroyed. The efforts of the depart
ment were directed to confning the
fire to the one building and in this they
were successful. Two adjoining prop
erty owners, VIM. Vane and James
Doagherty, presented the boys $25.
in appreciation of their services.
The building was one of the old
timers of that vicinity. It was form
erly the Evergreen Bar, Jack Furness,
Prop. Later D. M. Mangone was
owner and for the past two years it
has been the property of a Spokane man
and not in use. Loss about $4,000.
The ladies of the w. C. T. U. are
planning a campaign of education for
the new women voters as to the intrica-
cies of the primary and general election
laws. An educational meeting will be
held on August End, at which time per-

PROGRESSIVES
 ABANDON FIGHT
OKLAHOMA REPUBLICANS WILL SUPPORT THE REGULAR RE
 PUBLICAN TICKET.
After Three Futile Attempts to Secure Recognition the Progressives be
 eide to Support Regulars.

| Oklahoma City, Okla, Sept. 14.-The
 progressive party of Oklahoma today | officially announced 1t would no longer endeavor to have candidates placed ! upon the general election ticket, anu asked all progressives in Oklahoma to support the straight Republican ticket 1 in November
 | This announcement was made by 1 Ava l.. Mcdonald, chairman of the i state committee, after three futile eff forts had been made in court to place
 an entire ticket in the field. l E. l.. Pearsons of Chickasha sought | to mandamus the state board com | polling it to place his name on the 1 ticket as the progressive candidate foi I congress. The writ was denied or | the ground that the party was not e gally born ill Oklahoma The state
 board had previously refused to file
 his candidacy for the primary cleo 1 tion.
 Thereupon ten progresciyes brought mandamus proceedings to compel the state board to file their names as non partisan candidates for the electoral college. Again they were denied the writ, on the ground that they had applied to the state board for filing as pi'ogressives. After these these two denials in court Chairman Mcdonald today gave out the following signed statement:
 ITO the progressives of Oklahoma:
 In no other state in the union. so far as We are advised, do the laws throw such obstacles in the way of organizing ne wpolitical party and giving the people chance to vote for its candidates, as in Oklahoma. Ev- cry effort has been exhausted by the progressive state committee to place in the field party ticket, under the party name.
 "The most able lawyers at the bar have presented the questions involved to the state election board and to the courts, but the courts have held that the candidates of the new party cannot now be filed or placed on the republican state ballots as such.
 'Fortunately for the progressive cause. however, its strength was such at the caucuses and in the conventions and at the primaries, that almost all of the nominations were made by the progressives On the republican cleo toral ticket there are nine candidates for presidential electors who. if elect ed, have pledged themselves to cast their ballots for MT. Roosevelt and Mir. Johnson.
 Their election wll demonstrate be yond doubt that Oklahoma is a progressive state. 1t is therefore, the
 duty of every progressive citizen. with
 out regard to past political affiliations,
 to support this ticket By d united
 and vigorous campaign. the victory
 can he won; the bosses rebuked and eliminated and our state take her rightful place in the progressive col umn.

 Mestach was soon revived and his condition was found to be not serious. Gill was rushed to hospital. Af:er recovering consciousness, Mestach said:
 T was going at top speed in my nonoplane in an effort to win the race" he said. Looking behind saw Gill in his biplane turning around pylon and rapidly approaching me, a few feet below. 1 jerked my eleva- tor, thinking to give him ample space to clear beneath. l was unable to get a good view of just what happen ed but it seems that Gill, driving straight ahead. hit my understructure.

 Gill was in Wright biplane and Mestaeh in a Rorel monoplane. The accident occurred just at darkness, at the end of day of spectacular flights. Five thousand people were witnesses, but owing to the darkness ad dis tance, few of the spectators could etll just how the disaster occurred.
