st. Paul Dispatch: According to
advices received from Chicago this
morning by Mrs. f. II. Snyder, the

the conductor, and number of the
principal stars.
Close on the heels of this an.
nouncement comes the news that the

as to make a continuance an imposs-
Utility.
The decision of the Chicago direc-
tors means that the st. Paul visit
OF the company will be made an an.
nual affair for the period, if the To-
cal guarantors arc not forced to
make up large deficit this year.
The single seat sale for the local
season will open at the box office at
Dyer Brothers next Monday morning.
No standing room will be- sold.

CAL|SPELL FAIR A SUCCESS
Has Excellent Display of Fruit,
Vegetables and Grains
The List In Full of Prize Winners.

The Calispel Valley Fair at Cuslck OF
Tuesday and Wednesday of this Weet
attracted a number Of Newport people
to see the fine display of fruit, grains
and vegetables shown by ranchers Of
that section. On Tuesday five auto
loads made the trip and many went
down by train on both days.
This was the first display of the kline
ever attempted in the Calitpel valley,
and a very creditable exhibit was as
sembled. The show was in the secono
story of the Town Hall building, and in
addition to the farm products there was
fine array of ladies fancy work.
The exhibit was surprise to all who
came to see it, even people who have
lived in the valley for years being un-
unprepared to see the fine showing of
fruit and vegetables The exhibit of
grain was not so large, the people of
valley having become accustomed to the
splendid yield of grasses and grains
produced by the fertile acres which
formerly produced but scant amount
of wild grass on account of the annual
overflow of the Pend Oreille, but which,
since diking has been completed, now
give rich returns to cultivation.
The fair will be made an annual event,
and now that a start has been made it
will increase in size and interest to the
people, and will yearly give evidence of
the fertility of the soil and favors of
climate. Following is the list of prize
winners:

COUNTY TICKET IS A WINNER
Republicans Present Clean and
Able Candidates.
Feel Quite Confident of Success.

/ With the organization of the county
central committee the race for office ir
PEND Oreille county is started, and from
now until the day of election will be
prosecuted with vigor. The Republican
organization is confident of victory all
along the line, as it is backing lineup
OF candidates that will appeal to the
voters from the standpoint of merit and
ability.
For representative in the state legis-
lature, S. j. Appleman, of Newport, is
the Republican candidate. Mr.. Apple
man served in the last legislature as a
member from Stevens county and
gained an acquaintance and experience
that will be of benefit to the people of
the county and should insure his elec-
tion. In addition to his record in the
last session, the friends of Mr.. Apple
man are supporting him because he has
always been consistent worker for the
best interests of this section.
Of the officers appointed at the time
of the organization of the county the
following are seeking election: Auditor
H. H. Murray, Assessor Purchase,
County Clerk Parks, Engineer Vail and
Miss Soules, superintendent of schools,
and Coroner Hiett.
These candidates came into office and
took charge of work with which they
were unfamiliar and without exception
have made good. Their record in the
respective offices speaks for itself; that
they have honestly and faithfully per-
formed their duties is admitted by ALL
They have gained thorough knowl-
edge of the workings of their respective
Offices, and Pend Oreille county has
reason to be proud of the work accom-
plished by these people in mastering
their duties and should honor them with
an election.
The Republican candidate for sheriff
is ]. E. Jenne, for number of years
marshal of the town of Newport, and
formerly deputy sheriff for Stevens
county. Mr.. Jenne has gained good
knowledge of the procedure of civil and
criminal law, and is fully qualified for

COUNTY SEAT FIGHT QUIET
Newport Superior Advantages
Are Recognized
In Alphabetical Order On Ballot.

The situation as the county seat re.
mains unchanged, no new developments
having taken place recently. The foul
towns in the race-Newport, lone, Usk
and Cusick-are quietly campaigning
and making known the advantages
claimed by each for the county seat To-
cation.
The convenience of the Newport loca
tion is already known to those who have
had occasion to do business at the county
seat since the organization of the
county. The facilities of the town, ir
the way of transportation, adequate
hotel accommodations of the best kind,
it's position at the gateway to the whole
county, are all recognized and undis-
puted.
The observer Of the campaign cannot
help but note that in parts of the coun-
ty where people have no such personal
interest in the location, as have the
residents in and adjoining the four
LOWIlS Ill CLlC COllGCOCs CAAOlS 40 lAO 81 OcI
interest in the outcome of the election.
The fact that there is no agitation in
such localities for removal from New
port, would indicate general feeling
that the present location is admirably
suited to the wants of the majority Of
the people of the county.
1t is matter fully understood by the
people of the county that Newport pos
sesses all the facilities for a seat of
county government. With two rail-
roads, Western Union and Postal tele-
graph systems, Interstate and Bell
telephones, the transaction of county
business can be handled more quickly and
satisfactorily than from any other point
in the county. The attendance on court
of litigants and witnesses at Newport
will cost less money at Newport than at
any other point, for the reason that
there are more frequent opportunities
to reach the county seat and speedily
return home when their business is
concluded. This is a matter of impor-
tance to both public and private busi-
ness.

The county seat should have ample
hotel facilities to accommodate people
who come to do business at the court
house. Newport has four first-class
hotels and several lodging houses, yet
their capacity was taxed to the utmost
to care for those in attendance on the
October term of court in 1911. In order
to have these hotel accommodations at
court time the county seat town. must
be of sufficient size and commercial i'm
portance to support them at other
times. Newport has more than double
the hotel equipment of any other town
in the race for the county seat. This is
an important consideration that will
not be overlooked by the voter when
deciding on the location matter.
According to the enabling act Great
ing the new county, the towns will be
placed on the county seat ballot in
alphabetical order, as follows: Gu
sick, lone, Newport, Usk. The law pro-
vides that in order to remove the county
seat from Newport, some town must
receive majority of all the votes cast.
If no town receives majority the
county seat will remain at Newport.
No fairer county seat location pro-
vision was ever incorporated in any act
creating a new county in the state of
Washington. In every other instance
where new county was created the
laws have required three-fifths vote
to remove the county seat. limo other
county division law is there a provision
that a majority shall locate the county
seat.
Newport headed the movement for
the creation of the county of Pend
Oreille. It's people paid the cost of get
ting division, which amounted to nearly
81, 900. The town has always been in
the lead in every movement for de-
veloping the resources of the country
and has expended hundreds of dollars
in advertising and attracting people
and capital to the county.
One of the largest sales of state lands
for some years is planned for the first
Saturday in December. The sale will
be conducted at the courthouse in the
various county seats. It is the aim of
Land Commissioner E. w. Ross, who
retires from office at the end of the
present term, to dispose of all lands for
which application has been made, so as
to clean up the affairs of his depart
ment for his successor, whoever he may
be.
