Intercepted Forward Pass
and Long Drop Kick Tell
the Days Story.

Minneapolis. Sept. 30.-Minnesota
suffered defeat at the hands of the
South Dakota eleven in the first game
Of the Gopher football schedule at
Northrop field Saturday. The score
was 10 to 0.
A beautiful drop kick by Sheeks
from the 40-yard line. perfect in its
execution. gave the victors their first
three points In the second quarter. An
intercepted forward pass. caught by
INLAY In the center of the field in the
fourth quarter. followed by a 5O-yard
run for a touchdown and the incident
al goal by Sheeks. swelled the South
Dakota total to 10. .
1t was the old story of veterans
against beginners, and as usual the
veterans came out on top. In q way
the visiting team did not come up to
the expectations Of the crowd that had
heard wonderful tales of the speed
and all.around prowess Of the Dako-
tans. While Coach James Henderson
Is entitled to considerable credit for
the team he has constructed. his men
were not the stellar performers that
advance reports might lead one to be-
lieve. On the defense. they put up q
wonderful fight, but their attack was
mediocre. Quarterback Coffey may
nave had some thrillers that he did
not show. Perhaps he did not think
them necessary. At any event. South
Dakota had little to boast Of in an
offensive way. A few trick plays were
tried n many Of them succeeded. but
their C may be attributed to the
inexperience of the Gophers rather
than to the quality of the plays.

WILL TRAVERSE THIS COUNTY
Main Highway From Spokane
Into Montana.
Will Bring Much Travel This Way.

The people of this section have not as
vet taken much interest in the proposal
to build and maintain main highway
between Spokane and Glacier National
Park in Montana, but the counties OF
Bonner. in Idaho, and Flathead and Lin
coin, in Montana, are busily boosting
the project and seem in very sure way
to put it through.
At the meeting held in Libby June
%, a tentative route was agreed upon,
which would carry the road from Spo-
kane via Newport and Standpoint. The
road from Newport to Spokane is al
ready in fairly good condition and has
considerable auto traffic at the present
time. Between Newport and Standpoint
there are several bad places, and also
between Standpoint and the Montana
line, but the commissioners of Bonner
county have agreed to spend $14, 900 to
put the road in shape to the Montana
line.
The total length of the road from
Spokane to Belton, the entrance to
Glacier Park, is 300 miles. With this
stretch put in good condition there would
be complete thoroughfare from Spo-
kane to St. Paul, with the exception of
Is miles in the National Park, which the
government will build.
Louis Hill, of the Great Northern
Railway, is enthusiastically in favor of
the proposed highway, and believes
that it would mean much for the devel-
opment of the country it would traverse.
Newport should take hand in the
game, and have representatives. at the
next meeting of the people who are
boosting this highway. 1t would be a
big argument in favor of getting state
appropriations for the wagon bridge
across the Pend Oreille at this point.
The route runs easterly from Spo-
kane through Newport, Priest River,
Laclede and Standpoint, following the
Pend Oreille river from Newport to
Standpoint, thence to Bonners Ferry,
crossing the Kootenai river at that
point, thence to the Moyie springs,
crossing the Moyie river, and thence
across the Idaho state line into Lincoln
county.

Congressional Candidate In Town

Col w. M. Ridpath, of Spokane, was
a Newport visitor Tuesday evening,
coming up from lone, where he had
spent part of the day in the interest
of his candidacy for congress from the
Third district of Washington.
During the evening the colonel had
an opportunity to meet many of our
citizens and some old friends whose
acquaintance he has enjoyed for many
years.
Col. Ridpath has been resident of
Spokane for "a years, and was at one
time prosecuting attorney for Spokane
county, when Ferry, Okanogan, Stew
ems and Pend Oreille counties were one.
He has been very successful business
man, and is owner of the Hotel Rid
path, one of the leading hostelries of
the city. During the past two years he
has spent much of his time in foreign
travels, but has kept in close touch
with conditions at home.
There is one particularly admirable
trait about the colonel's politics. He
knows just where he stands and is out
for Taft and the national platform and
sees no necessity for third party. He
has not been under the necessity of
awaiting political developments before
getting busy looking after votes, and
has been campaigning several weeks.

WILSON DEMOCRATIC LEADER
Long Drawn Out Convention
Reaches Decision.
Marshall of Indiana Running Mate.

Governor Woodrow Wilson, of New
Jersey, is the nominee of the Demo-
cratic party for president of the United
States, the nomination going to him on
the 46th ballot, when he received $50
out of 1888 votes. The convention
broke all records in the number of bal
lots necessary to bring about the two
thirds majority required by Democratic
rules. Clark had a clear majority in
the tenth ballot and held it until the
seventeenth, when the change to Wilson
started.
Governor Thomas Marshall, of In
diana, was nominathd for the vice
presidency on the fourth ballot, after
an attempt had been made to get Champ
Clark to accept the place, but he re-
fused to permit his name to be consld-
cred.
The nomination of Wilson is bigger
victory for Bryan than anyone else.
Bryan led the fight all the way through,
and there will be considerable bitter
ness in Democratic ranks as the result
of the charges the Nebraskan made
against New Workers and others who
supported Clark. By insinuation Bryan
made the nomination of Clark impos-
sible.
That the Democrats will be in strong
position on account of the nomination
of man of progressive principles can
not be denied. The nomination of Will
son was largely Influenced by the action
of the Republican convention, and is a
direct bid for the votes of the disaffected
Republicans.
Roosevelt, in. statement given out
Tuesday night, makes clear that he will
continue to stand for the Progressive
nomination. Arrangements are now
being perfected for the calling of a
Progressive convention, to be held at
Chicago about August l. Whether the
Roosevelt movement will attain suffi-
cient strength to cut much of figure
is doubted by many. If local sentiment
is any indication of the feeling of the
average man throughout the nation,
then it is true that the demand for a

Handed Us a Shut Out.

Newport and Cusick played some ball
game Sunday, and the down river WIS.,
itors carried off the victory by a score
of to 0. All the run getting was done
in the first inning, and while the home
fans hoped and prayed for scores there
was nothing doing.
Cusick started off with two infield
grounders that were fumbled, and Nc
Elroy, the Spokane catcher, was next
bat. With two strikes on him McElroy
caught the next ball fairly on the nose,
and it went sailing over the center field
fence for a home run, netting three
scores.
Churchill and McElroy, of the Holley-
Mason City League team of Spokane,
constituted the battery for the visitors.
Churchill has played here before and
always pitched good ball, but on Sun
day he went the limit, and got 16 strike
outs, allowing four hits. He played
steadily at all times and there never
was a prospect of breaking in on his
work
,Navarre's pitching for Newport was
the great feature of the game. He got
"a strike-outs, record that stands al
mostunparalleledfor nine-inning game.
1t was heart-breaking performance to
pitch game like that and then lose
out.
The game was too much of a pitchers
battle to be real exciting. A good
feature was the entire absence of
wrangling among the players, the best
of feeling prevailing at all times.
1t is to be hoped that another game
can be arranged between these teams
for the near future. 1t would be a
great drawing card.

Robbed and Left UncOnciOus

Stella Moore, a remnant of the days
of railroad construction work and a
denizen of Old Town, was found in her
place on Sunday night, lying in an un-
conscious condition, evidently suffering
from an overdose of drugs. AS near as
can be learned the woman had been in
that condition since Thursday night.
Her place had been ransacked, jewelry
and clothes taken.
She was taken to the Crawford Hos
pital and at this time has not yet re-
covered consciousness. She appears to
be suffering from a blow on the back of
the head, but it is thought that her in
juries are not fatal.

WILL Be A LARGE MEETING.
Live Wires OF Inland Empire Will
See Our County.
Good Program of Entertainment.

The big meeting of the Federation of
Commercial Clubs in the Inland Empire,
to be held at Metaline Falls on July II,
is attracting good deal of attention
and will prove big advertisement for
Pend Oreille county.
Invitations to attend the meeting
have been extended to Governor Hay,
of Washington, and Governor Hawley,
of Idaho, and both of these executives
will make an effort to be present.
In connection with the Federated
Clubs meeting there will be held a
session of the Logged-Off Lands Con-
gress, at which the executive committee
of that organization, which has been
making an exhaustive investigation of
the amount of land of that character
and it's adaptability for general farming
purposes, will make a report of their
findings.
The two Metalines are working to-
gether for the entertainment of these
big gatherings, and the picturesque
lower river country will in itself prove
a magnet to draw large attendance.
It is estimated that from 500 to 600 of
the livest wire boosters of the Inland
Empire will be there.
The Inland Portland Cement Co.,
whose manufacturing plant is located at
Metaline Falls, is taking an active in
terest in the meeting. and the company
has hung up handsome silk banner, to
be presented to the Commercial Club
having the largest representation at
meeting.
A bear barbecue and trout dinner are
among the attractions planned for the
visitors, and arrangements are being
made for side trips to the many points
of interest in that section.
Large tents have been provided for
holding the business meetings, and for
sleeping accommodations Pullman
sleepers will be attached to the I. & w.
N. trains and held at Metaline Falls
during the time of the meeting.
1t was an ambitious project for the
two Metalines to care for this big gath.

third party has subsided considerably in

third party has subsided considerably in
the last ten days.
At any rate, if third party is formed
there is no occasion for the formation
of Progressive parties in county and
state matters. The differences of the
Republicans of this state are caused
wholly by national questions, and there
is necessity for increasing party bitter
ness by extending the fight clear down
the line.
The principal plank of the Democratic
platform is the declaration on the tariff,
which declares for tariff for revenue
only, denounces protection as the cause
of unequal distribution of wealth, and
demands an immediate downward re-
vision of the tariff.

While l think that il is worth the
money, and is an excellent thing, yet
tnere Is no question in my mind that
the companies put on the extra
charges last year for defective fiues
because of the fremen's fund tax. I
agree that defective fiue should be
charged for, but why was il not
charged for twenty years ago?
There is no doubt in my mind that
the extra charges, which are now be-
ing put on tenant dwellings and on
all furniture is largely because of the
increased commissions demanded by
the agents last year. So it goes, and
will go.
But frankly, gentlement, not only
will there be enacted and stricgly en-

will become better for they will see

merely wish to keep before your
minds that whatever is collected
