/
week on business connected with his es-
tablishment. ~
d. w. e. Britt and family started for
Medical Lake Wednesday where they ex-
pect to remain a couple Of weeks enjoy
ing camp life.
A. X. Levison, who has had charge OF
the books at the California House for sew
oral weeks, has gone to Cheney, where he
will stop for the present.
II. w. Livingstone, Of COliax, who is
connected with the Land Office, was over
to our city Tuesday, having dropped in
on his way home from CGur d'Alene.
The wife and two children Of DIR. A. S.
| Campbell reached this city the latter part
Of last week from Dakota, and the city
feels much more like home to the Doctor
since their arrival.
Our well-known merchant, Charles
Sweeny left the city Wednesday night
for Portland, and expects to be absent
number Of days. He will mix in consid-
cradle business with pleasure.
l.. L. Asher, who has been behind the
office desk Of the Sprague House for sew
erul months, is of on a visit 10 relatives in
Oakland, Cal. He returns to Spokane in
a few weeks to accept position in store.
DIR. l.. II. Whitehouse buckled up his
grip sack Sunday and boarded the train
for a trip down to California. He expects
to make a good visit to that land Of sun
shine, and we hope he may enjoy the tour
throughout.
Ar. D. Bowen, late business manager Of
the Seattle Chronicle, made flying trip
to this city Friday. He expresses himself
well pleased with the appearance Of Spok-
ane Falls, which proves that all Seattle
ties are not blinded by prejudices.
A. W. Olles and Thos. Slade, two gen.
tlemen from Bloomington, Ills, were
stopping at the Sprague House this week.
They have travelled extensively over the
Pacific Coast and have seen great many
places, but none Of them superior in point
Of attractiveness to Spokane Falls.
Col. L. b. Nash struck out this week
overland for the Big Bend country, where
he has large landed interests. The Col
onel thinks there is a considerable future
| for that great agricultural region, and as
he is a gentleman Of good Judgment we
believe we are safe in saying that he is
correct in his conclusions,
Our young townsman, August Gold
smith, one Of the directors OF the First
National Bank, started Tuesday on a trip
to Europe, where he expects to remain
for several months. Mr.. Goldsmith takes
with him the kindest wishes Of large
circle Of acquaintances who hope his voy-
age from the start may be full Of pleasure
and free Of accidents.
J. A. Chatter, Of London, England, a
| gentleman representing large amount Of
capital, was in the city this week invest
ing in real estate. He, with others, al
ready owns large piece Of land adjoining
the Falls to the south, which has become
very valuable. The company Of which he
is a member, has offices at Fargo, Helena,
Tacoma, with general headquarters in
! London.
After being closely confined to the prac-
tice Of medicine in this city for upward OF
| four years, during which time he never
lost a day, DR.. J. NJ. Morgan quietly
slipped of last Friday evening and de-
parted for Oregon to bo gone ten or twelve
days. A brief notice on his door an
nounces his absence for few days. 1t is
almost impossible for practicing physi-
clan to leave for any length OF time, but
the Doctor was so nearly worn out that
i far self-preservation he was compelled to
take this long needed rest. The brief re-
spite will be exceedingly beneficial to the
! gentleman, and he will return Monday or
Tuesday in a much improved condition.
J.T. McCarther started west Tuesday
night and will spend several weeks look
ing over that portion Of the territory ad-
jacent to the Sound. He goes in the in
terest Of the company he represents at
this place, and should the prospects war
rant the investment will probably secure
a large amount Of property. His business
is land speculation, and there are very
few engaged in ii who are so thorough
! posted, or who have a better idea Of values
Of real estate or the possibility OF an ad-
vance, and we believe, in all his varied
experience, he has never yet been burnt
on buy. He will lose none Of his inter
est in the Falls, but will work for the city
during his absence.
We regret to learn that Col. c. b. Brad
shaw has about decided not to locate at
| Spokane Falls. Not but what he is per-
fectly satisfied with the city, but the legal
business is limited and the field is so well
/ kn E.,I
such as would warrant him in remaining.
A few weeks ago his wife and two child
rem arrived in this city. Fofseveral years
they have been in poor health, verging
upon invalidism, but since taking up their
residence here they have recovered en-
tirely, and are hearty and strong. The
Colonel will probably leave them at the
Falls for some months until he comes to
some definite conclusion as TO his future
movements. Col. Bradshaw has only
been in the city fortnight, but by his
suavity Of manner and address has won
many friends who, even on short acquaint-
ance will regret that he feels it necessary
to try his fortune in other fields. How
ever II is altogether a wise idea, for he
could do far better in some large city
where he would have more scope for the
/ application Of his rare talent and exten-
sive legal knowledge. Wherever he may
| put out his shingle he has our best wishes
/ for success.
Wednesday evening we had the pleas
ure Of meeting for the first time J. NJ.
Armstrong, Register for the United States
Land Office, who was on his way home,
at Colfax, from a trip to Lake C@ur
d'Alene, where he had been rusticating
for few days after a long and steady
confinement attending to the duties Of his
office. We found Mr.. Armstrong to be
an interesting gentleman and pleasant
conversationalist, and know from his
record that he is trusted and faithful
servant Of Uncle Sam. Everyone that is
thrown in contact with him through Land
Office transactions pronounce him just
