is in earnest, we believe he will lcarry
out the project In the southern part
of the addition, in conjunction with
A. NJ. Cannon, Mr.. Browne will lay
out a public park containing fifteen
acres. This will be inclosed, laid
out with walks, pavilion, ETC., and
will fill want perceptibly felt by the
community. AS soon as the water
works are established here Mr..
Browne will have the pipes laid
throughout the addition, insuring
every resident an abundant supply
of water. With the exception of the
southern tier Of blocks, only frac-
tion of the land, there is not a spot in
the addition but from which one can
have a glimpse of the falls, and a
view indispensable for picturesque
ness. The elevation, while no higher
than at the depot at the most elevat-
ed point, seems to tower away above
the plains on the opposite side Of the
river. Standing on Pacific avenue
one can see, a half mile away, the
white-crested falls leaping and bound
ing down the face Of the rocks, weav-
ing a veil of mist above which, rest
ing like halo, is arched a delicately
tinted rainbow. We believe one Of
the most striking views Of the falls
can be had from this point. Spread
out to the east, near at hand, like a
panoramic vision, are the checkered
buildings of the city, the sun reflect
ing from the white and red. walls
and new roofs, while biercisg" the
ether above the highest horses are
the spires Of churches and the cupO-
las of private and public edifices,
the whole effect heightened by a back
ground Of pine-clad mountains that
seem cut like cameo from the deep
blue horizon. To the north, just at
your feet, the clear waters Of the
Spokane sparkles in the Light as it
rushes madly by, while a broad
plateau, arising high above the river,
spreads out until the yellow grass is
mingled with the dark forests that
join and climb over the range of
mountains in that direction. To the
west the addition terminates with an
abrupt cliff, the precipitOus side of
which is washed by Hangnan creek,
two hundred feet or more below.
The canyon, as viewed from this
elevation, presents many marked
points to call forth the admiration Of
the beholder, and from the bald,
rough-faced palisades to the gentle
rippling brook, one can find some
thing new to dwell upon at every
turn. Situated as it is this property
finds a ready sale in the market, and
no sooner was it known that the ad-
dition had been laid off than the de-
mand for lots was simply tremend-
Gus. A large number have already
been disposed Of, and those who con-
template investing in city property
should see the owner Immediately in
order to secure a good lot, although
there is very little choice. The prices
at present are very low, and lots
that can now be purchased for few
hundred dollars will be worth double
the price within n few months. We
understand that many Of those who
have invested propose to commence
building at an early day.

THE Cheney Tribune goes after the
scalps of the Spokane Falls "papers"
for charging the county officials with
neglect of duty in allowing the
prisoners to make their escape from
the county Jail. Now, Kellog, We
have sins Of commission enough to
suffer for without being saddled with
those we have not been guilty OF
committing. Had we believed that
the officers had been derelict in their
duties we would most assuredly have
said so, but being ignorant on the
subject we charitably refrained from
pitching into them. Just be a little
careful in your charges hereafter, my
friend.

THE impression is going out in
some quarters that the railroad was
instrumental in securing the removal
Of the land office to this city, and
efforts are being made to create a
hostility toward the road As far as
we know the railroad company is not
to be charged with the sole RESPONSE
bility of the change. 1t may have
stated through its agents that SpO-
kane Falls was the most desirable
point, all things considered, of any
place on the line. Yet, who can
blame the company for that? Take
ten thousand disinterested people
from any state in the Union and per-
init them to personally inspect the
towns in this district and chose the
one they considered the most fitting
for the land office, and we would be
willing to wager our print shop that
nine thousand nine hundred and
ninety-nine would favor Spokane
Falls, and the one thousandth would
either be blind or an idiot.

Wednesday, about noon, a Mr..
Wood, claiming to be the pioneer
photographer of Walla Walla, met
with quite a painful accident just as
he was entering the city from the
north. He was sitting on the front
scat of his wagon, with one foot on
the break, when the front wheel
dropped into a slight excavation and
he was thrown violently to the
ground, his forehead coming in con-
tact with a rock. He sustained a
very severe cut and abrasion some
three inches in length over the right
eye, o large piece of the detached
flesh hanging over the eye. Drs.
Jas. Whetham and G. S. Allison were
summoned to attend the injured
man. These skillful practitioners
found it necessary to take up several
stitches in order to bring the mangled
flesh together. Wood suffered no
great inconvenience from the injury
apparently, as he moved on with his
vehicle Thursday. The wound is
not dangerous if Wood takes care of
himself.

In commenting upon the removal
Of the Land Office to Spokane Falls,
the Cheney Sentinel treats the ques-
tion in far more liberal and calm
manner than was evinced by the
howlings of its contemporary, and,
we are pleased to state, shows no
disposition to attack neighboring
town just because it happened to Sc
cure something that both places were
striving for. If this style of criti-
rism should be strictly adhered to
there would be no occasion nor ex-
cuse for chickering's.
, 1883-07-21

zens are willing that the truth be
told of the town at all times, and
they court the closest scrutiny of its
resources. 1t has been attacked time
and again from this same quarter,
and all the anathemas heaped upon
it have redOunded upon the heads of
the aggressors. 1t may be in very
bad taste for us to notice these vicious
assaults, yet it is impossible to re-
main silent and see the. men abused
who have extended generous support
to those who are applying the casti-
CATION.

SPOKANE FALLS is setting her
traps for another smart game. In a
few weeks parties will go stealthily
around the county with petitions
praying for a division OF the county
so as to make Spokane Falls the
county seat. The petition peddlers
will sOlemnly promise each locality
that If they will only "stand in" they
shall be the county seat Of another
county. The Tribune gives the warn
ing, let the farmers and others who
have to foot the bills for all these
county seats be on their guard and
not be deceived. Remember that
divisions of counties make much
heavier taXes.-CheHey Tribune.
Blinded by envy, maddened by the
bright prospects surrounding SpO-
kane Falls, and seeing its own town
slowly and surely going to decay,
the Cheney Tribune raves like a
spoiled child. Nothing is too mean
for 1t to say against our people and
the city, and not being satisfied with
distorting facts it resorts to the
most willful misrepresentation. The
above article is a sample Of the pabu-
lum that it deals out to its readers.
1t endeavors to convey the impress
sion that the sanity Tribune has put
en- its armorOf OfconscientiOusnesst to do
battle for the welfare Of the poor, de-
fenseless people. 1t desires to ap-
pear as the champion Of men, the
defender of the peoples rights. "Oh!
what a goOdly outside falsehOod
hath" We are not cOgnizant Of any
such proceeding on the part Of the
people Of the Falls, aud do not be-
lieve that the idea has been enter
tanned by our citizens. 1t is the
ghost Of Banquo that is fright ming
the editor Of that sheet. 1t fears that
the time is not far distant when
Cheney will lose the county seat
that it obtained through disreputable
means, and the mere thought causes
him to lose his equilibrium. We
were in hopes that this silly conten-
tion would have been allowed to die
out. The Tribune only "rubs the
sore, where 1t should bring the
plaster" Spokane Falls recognizes
no rival in Cheney, or for that mat
ter, in any city In western Washing
ton. All the opposition that comes
from such puny sources will not ef-
tect its growth one iotl. Our citi-

dinner with a good brother. AT 2 o.
clock the Presiding Elder called the
Quarterly Conference together to look
after the business and finances of the
Pickcns Circuit. The preacher in
charge reported some sixty odd addi-
tions to the Church during the last
Quarter and seven Sunday Schools in
operation OH the Circuit. There was
paid for the support of the preacher
for last quarter sl59.50. Some of the
churches are behind with their ASSESS
ments for their preachers support, but
promised to pay out before the close
Of the year, and doubtless will, as Rev.
Ellwell is popular with his people and
this closes his 4th year among us. Many
are sorry to give him up, knowing his
place will be hard to be supplied among
us. The preaching was good. On
Saturday night many came to the al
ter for prayer and the Church seemed
much revived. At an early hour Sun
day morning the people began to pour
in horse back, foot-back, in their wag-
ons, buggies and carriages. Our little
town was well represented, and all
seemed to enjoy themselves. At elev-
Ell o'clock Rev. Herbert preached Il
Missionary sermon to large and attcn-
tive congregation, after which there
was collection taken up for Missions,
amounting to something over fifty dol
lars. In the afternoon there was
short talks made to the children and
young people by Revs: Wood, Guess,
and Elwcll, after which the large con-
gregation began leavingfor their homes
The crowd was estimated to be the
largest ever assembled at II Mile.

to go up and worship with the people
