its going Is but the forerunner Of some
thing better, and next summer will see a
fine edifice covering the real estate. There is
nothing to regret the erasure excepting,
perhaps, the colony Of rats that have had
the sanctity Of their homes invaded.
NJ. Thompson & Co. were busy this
week moving into their new rooms in
Central Block. Our aldermanic friend
THOMPSON was singing around sacks of
grain with remarkable ease and dexterity,
as though the fat bags were mere play
things, at the same time trying not to look
cOnceited over occupying one OF the neat
est rooms in the city. Friend Chamber
lin, the Co., who makes up in length what
his partner monopolizes in rotundity,
kept up appearances at the old stand
while he bOssed the removal Of their ac-
cumulated property. The firm bids fair
to hold place among the substantial busi-
ness houses Of the city.
II. p. Reeves is a lucky member Of the
community. Since sticking down his
peg in this place he has cleaned up a mint
Of money on fortunate land investments,
and his guardian angel seems to have no
desire to desert him, as he has lately made
some trades that are bound to create
swell in his bank account. Through the
medium Of swapping he managed to get
hold Of fine lot ON Post street, opposite
twO-story frame occupied by Cox &
Rapey, this week. The building will be
rciuvenated and rented, and he will have
no trouble finding tenant as houses can
not be run together fast enough to meet
the demand.
Henry French is not building brick
blocks for the fun OF seeing them crum-
BILE away under the witheTing march Of
fire. Not much. He is going to take
good care that no conhagration starts in
the building itself, and has all Of the
doors and windows on the south side
hung with iron shutters to bar out the ap-
proach Of flames from that direction. He
does not wish to stand any chances from
the proximity Of frame buildings, besides
there is something humiliating in flying
out Of a house in the abbreviated gar
ments Of night, and II fire breaks out
now i'm the neighborhood he can laugh at
the troubles Of his neighbors, as he cOolly
bedecks his limbs in raiment and cOngTut-
ulates himself ON his forethought.
1t will be seen by notices that Paul j.
Strobach, Esq, has not only located with
us, but is ready to take charge OF any
business entrusted to his hands. lie is
not only a worthy young gentleman but
also one whom long experience in the
land office as Receiver at Montgomery,
Ala, eminently qualities for the business
that he follows. There Is nothing per-
tanning to the law relating to public lands
that he is not thoroughly posted on, and
from the very fact Of having necessarily
made that a long study he is qualified TO
give advice and Information on that sub
ject. His Office is in the building occu-
pied by the U. S. land Office, and so near
that he could shake hands with the boys
Il there was only hole through the par
tition.
The Oakdale Call Wheat GrOiCer man,
without fears Of future punishment be-
fore him, and with iicndish rccklossness,
gets off the following; ave are in re-
ceipt Of a copy Of the Spokane Falls RE-
VIEW, published by Frank NJ. Dallam.
II is printed on good paper, and shows up
like book work. II contains an immense
amount OF reading matter, and how one
man can prepare it all Is matter Of sur
prise to those who are familiar with the
business, and know Of the thousand and
one things that consume a newspaper
mans time, and yet contribute nothing 10
the contents or appearance Of his paper.
But Dallam never sleeps. He sees all,
hears all; meets all trains, attends all
meetings, and Is instant In season and out
Of season. And il ever newspaper man
deserved success, It is Frank NJ. Dallam.
We are pleased TO note that the REVIEW
is gaining ground, and hope that its pub
Usher will be rewarded for his labors in
behalf Of the good people Of Spokane
Falls"
