Grinding.

Last Saturday the new Echo
FIGURING Mills was set in operation
for the first time grinding out flour.
The grist was from wheat supplied
by Col. G. II. Morgan, and the first
samples Of the prodnct were literally
scattered around the city for trial.
That gentleman has our thanks for a
sack. The -four can be classed as
No. 1, dry, fine and easily worked.
1t has been put to severe tests by our
family, and the result is more than
satisfactory to the lady, and proves
to the consumers of the cooked pro-
ducts that the flour is in every re-
spect far superior to that we have
been using heretofore. 1t makes
beautiful and delicious biscuits, and
light, white and sweet bread. The
housewives Of our city will find in it
-four that will suit them, and If the
future products Of the mill are equal
to the first we believe that Haver-
male & Davis will build up a repu-
tation for good -four that will not be
confined to this territory, and that
the demand for the Echo Mills brand
will so increase that it will tax the
utmost capacity of the large manu-
factory to fill the orders that will
flow in. The commencementis is good
and after their long and tedious
waiting it is a pleasure to know that
the firm has succeeded so well.

Covered

There was no discount on the snow
storm that reached this part of the
world, commencing last Saturday
and winding up Monday. The pure
chillincss commenced dropping Sat
urday with n most vehement drop.
The dark, leaden sky deposited the
white dampness with an industry
that threatened to last all winter.
The weather continued comfortable
while the snow flew, but the clouds
took a rest Sunday and the breeze
that swept over the face of the en-
shrouded country Sunday was any
thing but summerfed. Again Sun
day night the clerk commenced sif.-
ing and the large flakes continued
to drop, drop, drop until Monday at
noon, when fully ten inches Of snow
had tumbled. At that stage of the
prOceedinga chinook sprung up and
within forty hours hardly a flake OF
the large envoice remained to tell
the story. For commencement the
storm can be chalked down as a pret-
ty good effort.

The Old Folks concert given in
Cannon's Hall Thanksgiving eve
ming, under the direction of Mrs.
Geo. Brandt, and for the benefit of
the NJ. f. Church, was, in point of
attendance, all that the Originators
could have hoped for, and, Judging
by the close attention and frequent
applause, gave entire satisfaction to
the audience, The hall was packed
as it has seldom been packed before,
and to the credit Of the performers
be it said they took considerable pains
to please. 1t is not necessary to give
a minute report of the programme
rendered. The stage was crowded
with the local talent of our city, all
dressed in costumes supposed to rep
resent what to the modern world is
considered to be the odd apparel of
"A hundred years ago. The dresses
did not lack variety or originality and
the many colors gave kaleidoscope
appearance TO the stage not at all dis
taseful to the eye. 1t would appear
that local performers have at least
one advantage over professional,
they always draw well, and all short
comings are charitably overlooked,
and liberal applause is meted out
with no stinted measure. The pro-
gramme as rendered was as follows:
"Old Dog Tray" instrumental.
''Old Hundred" Chorus.
"SaYed from the Storm" (solo) DIR.
c. S. Penfield.
"Auld Lang Syne," Chorus.
Song by little Miss Angie Davis.
"Old Folks at Home" song and
chorus.
Recitation Miss Ida Kirkman.
"John Brown" Chorus.
"Come with Me-" song Miss f.. J.
Webster and Miss Ogla Brandt.
"Dreams Of Home" Quartet and
Chorus.
"The London Bridge" Walker Bean.
Gland Of Liberty" Chorus.
cousin Jedidiah," song and Chorus.
Recitation Miss Ida Kirkman.
"America," Chorus.
"Marching through Georgia." In
strumental.
Several Of the singers We're COM
PEELED to respond to the repeated
calls. The effort Of Angie Davis, a
bright little lass, was rewarded with
perfect ovation. She has become
quite a favorite with the public, and
her performance is remarkable for
one so young. Mrs. f. J. Webster
and Miss Olga Brandt, and Walker
Bean were recalled. 1t is not out Of
place to state that this concert will
be repeated next Tuesday evening
with an entire change of programme.

A. A. Newberry, very pleasant
gentleman and an active business
man, has been appointed to take
charge of the land department for
the Northern Pacific railroad with
headquarters in this city. Mr.. New
berry has secured the handsome suite
Of rooms directly in front of the
United States Land Office, in Central
Block, where he will have his Office.
This arrangement Of having both
offices together makes it very con-
venient for people hunting land,
and will be found especiallyso at this
point where so many people are now
coming in search of homes. The
office will show a good record under
Mr. Newberry's management.

and he can thank them for his restO-
ration. Mr.. Webster is compara-
lively small, Of light build and suff-
ers in one limb from a serious wound
received during the war, and it is a
miracle that he was able TO live
through the trials of his adventure.
He now laughs over the event, but
it Is pretty safe to wager that the
next time he feels a strong desire to
go into the Coeur d. Alene noun
tains on a hunt in the winter time
he will stay at home.

LOCAL.


There was not as large an audi
ence at CannOn's Hall last Saturday
evening to see Jack Langrishe in "a
Man in Maze" as the worth of the
company deserved, but the shortage
can be accounted for by the misera-
ble weather. The troupe is among
the best that has performed here this
full and gave entire satisfaction.
Another drawback to a large audi
ence can be set down to the frequen-
cy Of entertainments here Of late.
Mr.. Langrishe left good impression
among those who were present at the
performance.

II. w. Mack, who has occupied
the position of steward both at the
Sprague and California Houses dur
ing the plst year, is aboIt to branch
out on his own hook. He proposes
to open an oyster house and lunch
counter in the building occupied by
Stoll d Bowen, as a dental office, on
or about the 10th Of this month. As
Mack has proven by his long exper-
ienee catering to the public that he
understands just how TO conduct an
eating establishment his success with
a lunch house like the one he pro-
poses to open is a fOrgOne cOnclu-
sion. The public are assured that
the Institution will be iirst-class in
I'LL its appointments.

WE see it stated in the associated
press dispatches that both the mi
ners Of Nevada and Montana are
highly wrought up over the Coeur-
d. Alene gold discoveries, and prep
arations are being made by thous-

diggings very early in the spring.
1t is evident that the rush into the
mines will be far greater than any
thing our people have dreamed of.

SPOKANE COUNTY has been cut up
and made into three counties by the
Legislature this winter. First. Lin
coin county was sliced off, and now
the northern part of Lincoln is again
divided making Douglas county with
The county seat at Okanogan. This
embraces the Big Bend country, and
it would seem from the ease it slip
ped through the settlers had no
trouble in getting new county set
aside.

The steam barge East Saginaw and
tow encountered last weeks gale while
on Lake Michigan, and when about
10 miles from Chicago the tow line
parted. In such gale and sea as
then prevailed, it was impossible to
pick up the barges. besides tow line
would not hold if the barges could
have been picked up. Captain Rich
ardson then headed his boat for Chi
cage, and proceeded under easy steam.
The barges made sail and kept after
him, and all managed to reach Chi
cago in safety-the only mishap being
the loss of 1900 cedar posts, belong
ing to Bolton Il McRae, which were
on the Light Guard. The East Sagi-
nav and tow arrived back to Alpena
the early part of this week. The
East Saginaw had on board 5,270
bushels of grain for various parties,
and quantity of merchandise. The
barge Hinchley also brought guam
tity of grain. The Saginaw came
near running over the wreck Of the
schooner Wells Burt.
