A proposition was presented by
Henry $. jackson, Of Philadelphia,
Henry l.. Moody, of Portland, and
Israel G. Townsend, Of this city, to
construct, and maintain ard operate
gas works in the city Of Spokane
Falls.
This proposal was discussed at con-
siderable length. On the 2lst of Au-
gust an ordinance was passed by the
Council granting NJ. G. Elmore and
associates the right to lay gas pipes
in this city, to maintain the same for
twenty-five years, and giving them
to the lst Of April, 1881, to commence
work. As nothing had been heard
from Mr.. ElmOre the Council did
not know whether he had given up
the project or not. II was decided
that it would not be right to accept
a second proposition by appealing
the ordinance until Mr.. Elmore
could be heard from.
Mr.. Cannon moved that the Clerk
be instructed to correspond with Mr.
Elmore and ascertain whether he
intended to accept the offer of the
Board. Carried.

Important improvements.

1t is now perfectly safe for us to
state that by the middle of next
summer, or little later, the people
of the city Of Spokane Falls will en-
joy two great metropolitan conven-
fences, the want Of which have been
and are now greatly felt. We have
reference to public gas and water.
The growth that the city has made
during the past twelve months, and
the increase promised during the next
summer fully justiles capitalists in
taking holdof and putting in money
into these projects. Gas we might
worryalongay year or two without, but
water is necessity that must be
supplied, There is not u city in the
Union where it is so hard to procure
an abundance Of water for domestic
purposes, and the supply for public
use, excepting directly on the river
bank, is confined to one solitary
well. This condition of affairs can
not exist much longer. Even now
the entire city stands jeopardized to
the flames, and people live in dread
of a visitation from that element.
If the city, through the interposition
Of providence, can escape from con-
flagration this winter, much of the
danger will be averted by the intro
duction Of water works in the spring.
That we are justified in predicting
the addition Of gas and water, and
that 1t is no mere gush to increase
the importance of the Falls in the
eyes Of the outside world, needs only
reference to the proceedings Of late
meetings Ofthe City Council. Before
that august body have been present
ed two propositions to introduce
gas into the city by men who have
the means and disposition to carry
out the project, and three petit
tions asking for the privilege of lay
ing pipes and maintaining water
works. They are bona fide offers, too,
as the petitioners voluntarily offer
to enter into bonds to do the work.
SO far no definite action has been TAX
en- by the Council, but not because
the members are not awake to the
Importance ofthese great necessities.
The new charter submitted to the
Legislature has been accepted, and
with the first Of the new year the
Council will work under its provis-
ions. On the evening of the first
Monday in January the City Council
will consider all the propositions pre-
sented for franchises, and then and
there will award to the parties pre-
senting the fairest offers the right
and privilege of going on with the
good work.

John L. Wilson, Receiver of the

November he started east ostensibly
on business, with little mixture of
pleasure. He wanted also to visit
old scenes and renew old friendships,
and he did, the latter most efFectual-
ly, for on Wednesday, Dec. 9TH, he
was joined in the holy grip of matri-
mOny to Miss Edna S. Hartman, of
Charlottesville, Indiana. The cards
announcing the event were received
here Thursday morning, and, as that
was after the nuptial ceremony, our
townsman, the groom, will please ac-
cept our apology for not being pres
ent in the flesh. However the sud
denness of the announcement does
not make the good wishes of his
friends any the less sincere, and he
and his estimable lady will be gladly
welcomed to their new home in the
far west. Mr.. Wilson, the principal
actor in this union, is well and fav-
orahly known throughout the east
ern part of Washington Territory,
where he has held a high position Of
public trust, winning the respect of
the people and the confidence of the
high authorities. Not only as an
office holder is he deserving of the
esteem in which he is held, but also
for his genial social qualitlesSkis
brightness and intellectuality The
bride, we are Informed, POSSESSES all
those attributes Of beauty, gentle
ness, and domestic accomplishments
to make man happy in his choice.
Mr.. and Mrs. Wilson are expected

present will make their home at the

The growth of SpokaneFall during
the season of 1888 has been looked
Upon with surprise and admiration
by our own people and visitors from
afar, and with envy and forebOdings
by neighbOrs in the eastern part Of
the territory. People have wondered
how long the phenomenal growth
would continue, and have dated the
end from month to month. But the
end is perverse. The building sea-
son III had a beginning has no end.
1t continues steadily, increasingly,
one might say mOnotOnOusly. Not
a week, we might say consistently
and truthfully, not day pas ses
without the addition Of some new
buildings. From the eastern bound
ary to the western limits, from the
northern to the southern edges of
the corporation the bright roofs of
new houses glitter in the sun light.
The rattle of the carpenters hammer
Is music not confined to one locality,
but it swells up in one continuous
diaplsOn that speaks of prosperity,
ambition, energy and future great
ness. The heat of summer nor the
cold Of winter has had no depressing
influence on this steady march of
improvement, and the seasons Of 'S3
and 'Si will mingle together without
II break. The class of buildings added
to the city are Of a superior quality.
While some Of the poorer and cheap
er kinds of houses have been erected, ,.
yet by far the greater number have
been Of expensive and attractive ar
chitecture, marking Spokane Falls
as the liveliest ,prettiest aud most inn
portant city on the line Of the North
Pacific railroad between st. Paul and
Portland. Travellers have so stated,
and, we are willing to take their
words for it. And the end Of this
remarkable. development is not yet.
We hear Of many new buildings,
both private and public, that are to
he built next spring and summer.
Brickmakers, lumber manufactures,
mills and factories have orders away
ahead. Our contractors and builders
have scores of orders on their books,
and the same activity and rush of
the present year is to be seen repeat
ed. Not only this, but from all parts
Of the Union do we learn Of people,
good, law-abiding, intelligent, chris

ulation will begreaterneXt year than
all previous years, and it needs no
exaggerated fancy to place our pres
ent 1000 population as high as 1000
at this time next year. The growth
of Spokane has been steady, healthy,
permanent, and in spite Of all that
has been sail against the little city
it will yet take rank with the largest
towns in the territory.

IN the issue of November 3Oth, un-
der the head of "a Probable Mining
Humbug," the San Francisco CrOR-
icLe expresses a doubt of the genui-
ness of the CRur d. Alene mines.
1t bases its comments upon some wild
statement that 800 miners were av-
eraging from 500 to $40 per day.
Now no such reports were ever writ
ten Of the mines by persons having
any knowledge of the country. 1t
has been truthfully stated that those
working claims have averaged from
SO to $50 per day, but the claims
have been confined to three or four.
The Chronicle says the best placers
evert worked in California did not
average $50 per day to those work
ing them. This is no reason why
the new mines should not prove
richer, in fact many old 40 miners
state that the present mines far sur
pass in richness anything ever work
ed in California. The paper further
states that the report has been put
i'm circulation to draw people to a
cold and inhOspitable region in the
winter by agents of the railroad.
This is again misstatement. Every
paper in the upper country speaking
of the mines has most plainly point
ell out the reasons why men should
not attempt to go into the mines at
this season of the year, and advising
those contemplating a trip to the
new mineral fields to postpone their
visit until spring. The ChrORicJe
is a little too jealous in its efforts to
throw doubt upon district that
promises to surpass in wealth any
mining lands yet discovered. 1t is
the belief of every experienced min
er that has ever personally inspect
ed the ground that the CGur d.
Alene mines will yet prove awonder
to the world. They may be mistak-
en-, hut. developments so far war
rants them in entertaining such an
opinion.
