VOLUME X HOLD FARMERS' College Speakers to Be Heard at Newport. Will Demonstrate Stump Burning. Charles M. Talmadge has been en deavoring to arrange with the authori ties of the Washington State College, at Pullman, for the holding of a Farmers' Institute at Newport and other points in the Pend Oreille valley. While some difficulty has been encountered in secur ing the institute. Mr. Talmadge has now received assurance that the college will be able to furnish talent for institutes to be held the latter part of May or early in June. R. C. Ashby. superintendent of Farmers'lnstitutes and Extension Work tor the college, writes Mr. Talmadge to suggest topics and subjects particularly adapted to the needs of the agriculturists ot this section to be discussed at these institutes. At least three of these meetings should be held within Pend Oreille county, in addition to the one promised for New port. Arrangements should r, e made for holding one in the Calispel vallev and one in the lower river country. If requests for meetings down the river would be submitted the details for the meetings can be arranged. In addition to giving instruction in the various lines of agriculture and horti culture, H. W. Sparks, supervisor of demonstration farms for the college, will attend these institutes and give instruc tion in the£charpitting method of elim inating stumps, a topic which will be of great interest to the farmers of this sec tion. The first Farmers 1 Institute held at Newport over a year ago was largely attended, the ranchers of this section showing great interest and profiting by the instruction given. The institutes can be made an annual event and should be brought to the attention of all ranch ers. The various speakers from the college are expert in their line of work, who are making the investigations their life work and are anxious to impart in struction to the people. The exact date of the institute and the programs will be announced later, as soon as they are finally determined FIRST NATIONAL BANK CAPITAL $25,000 SURPLUS {26,000 F. A. Blackwell, Pre*. Henry Tweedie, Vice Pres. Charles F. Craig, Casbibb R. H. Amell, Asst. Cashier J. B. Tarbet, Jacob Martin The Newport MinMr Supt. (J. S. Reidt, of the King Sash, Door & Lumber Co. mill at Penrith, was a Newport visitor Wednesday, and re ported considerable activity in the mill ing line in onr suburb on the west. The company has recently booked an order for 2,000,000 feet of white pine, which, with the sawing of the other stock al ready on hand, will keep the plant bnsy until fall, and may make necessary the putting on of a double shift. As the company has not that quantity of white pine logs on hand, it means a busy bum mer of logging for them, and a large force of men and twenty teauis will be employed. The territory west of town will be kept very busy the next two or three years, while the work of taking off the burned timber is in progress. The new law regarding delinquent taxes, which was passed by the last leg islature, is now in effect and the collec tion is switched from the county treas urer to the county sheriff. When a deputy sheriff calls and asks for the payment of personal taxes and there is no payment he can take charge of the property at once, and either take it away on a dray or leave it until the ten days' time has elapsad before a sale can be made. The change in the collection from the treasurer to the sheriff means that the sheiiff will have to add new deputies to take care of the work, instead of the treasurer's office. The sheriff will be compelled to make a report on collec tions every dav to the treasurer's office. -Statesman-Index. The Oldest Bank IN The New County The Only National Bank IN The New County BOARD OF DIRECTORS Activity at Pearitli Delinquent Taxis The Gildea shingle mill will soon be ready to start operations. An election has been authorised at Metaline Falls* to determine whether the town shall be incorporated. The first petition drawn up to be presented included the Idaho & Washington Northern railroad yards and the cement company's plant, but on objection bv these corporations a petition with boundaries amended to exclude these properties was presented and there be ing no further objections an election was ordered. It is a foregone conclusion that the question will be carried in the affirmative, and Pend Oreille county will have another incorporated town. NEWPORT, WASHINGTON, THURSDAY, APRIL 13,1911 WON THE FIRST BAli SAME Newport's Team Beat the Dolbys of Spokane. The 1911 Line-Up Looks Good. Newport started off the baseball sea son of 1911 in an auspicious manner on Sunday, defeating the Dolby Clothing Co. team, of Bpokane, by a score of 12 to 9. Considering the high wind and cold weather and the fact that it was the first game of the season, the spectators who braved the weather conditions felt well repaid for their endurance. The game was well contested all the way through, although Newport took the lead from the first inning by scoring three runs, and consistently maintained a gap be tween their score and that of their con testants. Rosenbourrough started the game in the box for Newport and pitched the first five innings, when he retired to give Christianson a chance to make his debut before a Newport audience. Rosy was in his old-time trim and the new man also showed up well, both giving assurance that the pitching end of the team would be well takencareof. Scott, the catcher, is also a new man. He showed up as a good backstop, is heady and has a good whip for throwing to bases. Sandy Judge, one of Sandpoint's fav orite players, is lined op with the New port boys this year. Sandy is one of the most reliable and heady players in this section. The Dolbys nut up a clean game, but were outclassed in hitting bv our team, and did not really give the new line-up of Newport a hard test. The 1911 line-up looks good to the Newport fans, and with the absgice of rowdy professionalism, which has killed baseball in Newport the past four years, the team should have the loyal support of the town. Manager W. F. Schmidt has a number of games arranged for, the next one being at Spirit Lake next Sun day. Following was Newport's line-up last Sunday: Scott, catcher; Rosenbour rough and Christianson, pitchers; Pynn, shortstop; Moeser, first base; Meyers, Kkp all of yocr valuable pa- PEBB IK ONE OP OUR SAFETY DE POSIT BOXES.

Following is a nummary of Sunday's game: Two-base hits, Moeser, Payne, Scott; three-base hits, Moeser, Waters; bases on balls, off Christianson 3, off Burrows 6, off Rosenborrough 1; hit by pitched ball, by Rosenbourrough 2; struck out, by Rosenbourrough 6, by Burrows 3, bv Christianson 6; hits off Rosenbourrough, 3in five innings; off Christianson, 3 in four innings; off Bur rows, 21 in nine innings. Chewelah Men Try Charpitting Method Trying out the charpitting method of removing stumps, brought to the atten tion of local people by the Washington State College demonstrators, Messrs. E. Oppenbeimer and John Kreller, ot the Chewelah Brick & Lime Co., had one of their workmen apply the same to a number of large stumps at their yards west of town last week. While it was only an experiment, Mr. Oppenheimer states that of the number of stumps fired over 60 per cent were destroyed successfully, and that the failure of the other 40 per cent was due entirely to their inexperience. Different soils and different woods require different treat ment, and as soon as the charpitting method becomes thoroughly understood Mr, Oppenheimer is of the opinion that no other method will be employed. L. L. Oman, one of the progressive local farmers, tried out the charpitting method last tall on some meadow land that had been in cultivation for some time, but was thickly dotted with stumps, and with an expenditure of about four days' labor 140 large stumps were easily and quickly removed. —Inde- pendent. Henry Schurch, of Spirit Lake, and Effie Berry, of Chamberlain, S. D., were united in marriage by Rev. Robert Warner Wednesday evening at the Methodist parsonage. The groom is a brakeman on the Blackwell railroad, with headquarters at Spirit Lake, to which point he left with his bride im mediately after the ceremony.—Saud poiut Review. Both the contracting parties were formerly residents of New port and highly esteemed. Their many friends here will be pleased to extend congratulations.

Fiedler, wife and son returned Saturday evening from their California trip. They were absent about six weeks and enjoyed the trip, but like all loyal Newport people were glad to get home again. Using the Doctor's touring car from San Francisco they made about 2000 miles by auto, leisurely taking in all the famous side tripe offered in that section, including a crossing of the border into Old Mexico, where they did not make a long stay,not wishing to take chances of getting mixed ud in the unpleasantness that prevails J»long the border. The return trip was made by rail from LO9 Angeles, via Salt Lake City. Fiedler comes back with the distinc tion of belonging to the Light Tackle Clcib, of Cataline island. In order to get membership in this select anglers' club it is necessary that one shall, sin gle-handed, land with a light tackle one of the famous game sea fish of that sec tion of the "vellow-head" variety. Fid landed one that weighed over 20 pounds, one of the largest that has been caught there, and on exhibiting his prize was immediately eligible to membership, and has an affidavit as to the taking of the fish, which is considered quite a feat. With the affidavit, a picture of himself and the fish and the badge of membership in the club, Fid's po«itiun as a fish story teller is secure. Stull Does His Duty While on hie way to Northport on county business, Prosecuting Attorney Howard W. Stull noticed two young men who took the train at Marcus were drinking. He stepped up to thecn, and advising them of the fact that he was prosecuting attorney of the countv, told them to refrain from their drinking on the train, as it was in violation of the law. They would not obey orders and Mr. Stuil telegraphed ahead to North port, and thev were arrested when the train arrived. Justice Grier fined them each $3 and costs. They took the next train tor Canada.—Statesman-ludex. Iftay Rauch has so far recovered from the injuries sustained in having a big log roll oyer him that he is able to be ouc again, although still somewhat sore from the bruises. His right shoulder suffered the worst injury. NUMBER 48
