lock. He hitched 'em tight.
The band fired "Sherman's march to the
Sea" at the old man Thursday night. He
has heard that tune in a thousand differ
ent languages, and it is probable that he is
sorry that he ever made the trip.
According to the new order Of things
mails now arrive every day. Heretofore
there has been no mail from the west
Monday morning. The arrangement
meets the approval Of everybody.
Would it not be we'll for owners Of new
houses to follow the example set by Frank
Moore and whitewash their buildings. II
would materially improve the appearance
Of things architectural both singly and
collectively.
We direct attention to the new card Of
the Spokane Bakery. Mr.. Keats has
faculty Of putting together the staff Of life
in such a shape that the housekeeper that
tries it once always desires to repeat the
experiment.
Lawyer Jameson takes a great pride in
the progress Of the Central Block, and he
is on hand every day calculating the
eye. He is bound that the building shall
be a good one.
Some Of our eastern exchanges are
bagging OF land yielding 80 bushels Of
wheat to the acre, and here our farmers
are kicking in some localities because the
unfavorable season has cut down the yield
to those figures.
Our old friend, D, F, Percival, real estate
and general business agent Of Cheney,
comes to the front with a card this week.
He is selling great many farms this sum-
mer, and any one on the buy or sell
should see him.
II. II. Whitehouso, our Howard-street
matchmaker, has found business so brisk
since moving into his new stand that he
has put in a big safe to hold his receipts
and has sent for large new\stOck )of goods
including silver ware. ~
We hear it rumored that Spokane Falls
is to have another soda works. The drink
is harmless and in connection with a wee
bit OF ice is not bad to take, and therefore
may become so largely popular as to pay
a half dozen mills to grind 1t out.
Attention is called to the professional
card Of Messrs. Andrews q Jones, Of
Cheney. These gentlemen are well versed
in the mysteries OF law, and those having
any business in that line at the county
sent should secure their services.
Tom, the siwash who had his feet am
putated by the cars some two months ago,
returned to his wig%am Tuesday. His
travelling for the present will be confined
to horseback riding, but he proposes to
have a set Of artificial feet in few months.
As we loaned our plug hat and swallow
tail coat to an uncle we were not prepared
TO attend the reception rendered Gen.
Sherman at Ceur d'Alene Tuesday night.
The General wept copiously over our alb
sence, whether from regret or joy we are
unable to say.
There is some consolation in knowing
that the hot weather cannot last more than
a month longer, although the pleasure OF
that knowledge is somewhat clouded by
the probable early appearance Of frigidity
that will make one yearn for the thawing
sensation Of June day.
A new building is in course OF construc-
ton just south Of the railroad depot, and
it is hinted that 1t is to be occupied for i'm
moral purposes. The residents Of that To-
cality are Justly indignant, and II II is put
to the us6that is now expected the owner
can look for considerable trouble.
We are informed that the crops down
about Fort Spokane are in a promising
condition and will turn out much better
than was. expected. That is the drift Of
the repoNs from all sections, and while we
can hardly understand 1t yet are exceed
ingly pleased to know that it is true.
As rule the gravel land Immediately
in the city is Of incalculable advantage to
the place, as It is never muddy in wet
weather nor dusty during a reasonably
dry season. However this summer cap
lures the meat market for excessive dry
ness, and consequently there is just little
dust perceptible in some parts Of town,
say not more than foot deep.
Chas. Boyer, our popular young real
estate agent, has had the old Times build
ing, on Howard street, completely over
hauled and will occupy the premises him
self. A new glass front has been put in,
the building painted and the lower floor
fitted up. His new signs also are strik-
ingly attractive. Hope the business Of the
office may improve in a corresponding
ratio.
Col. G. G. Bradshaw has settled down to
the practice Of law in this city. For the
present he will have his office in the same
room with l. s. Kaufman, on the south
side Of Howard street, between Main street
and Riverside avenue. His talent has
drawn him at once into prominence and
it is only aquestion Of little time until
he will build up a large and lucrative
practice.
A large party Of Spokaneites drove up
to Fort CRur d'Alene, Monday, for the
purpose Of taking part in the reception
that they supposed was to be given to
Gen. Sherman that evening. As the en-
tire military party had not arrived the
formal reception was postponed to Tues
day. The ladies and gentlemen from our
city could not remain over, and so after
shaking hands with the famous warrior
they returned home Tuesday morning.
@. w. Eplar, our new soda manufac-
turer has the thanlxs Of the otfice ff,ree for
a wholesale supply Of the products Of his
establishment. There were three brands
Of goods, soda, sarsaparilla, and ginger
ale, and the boys, as they tapped the stuff,
rated it as good, better, best. Mr.. Eplar
has proven TO the satisfaction Of all who
haYe tested his goods that he knows how
to get a very searching bouquet to his
liquids, and we believe that they will rap
idly come in use as a popular beverage.
By notice elsewhere 1t will be seen that
DR.. W. II. Rowland, has bought
