tleman as well as a No. l. drummer.

surprised II some day he should figure as
one Of It's citizens.
We regret 10 announce that Mrs. Z. j..
Webster has been very seriously sick for
the past fortnight, and was so low at one
time that her life was dispaired Of. How

writing the lady is slowly recovering, al
though it will be sometime before she re-
gains her former vigor.

daily Oakland (Cal.,) Tribune and VIM. @.
Henshaw, with Taggart q Dingee, real es-
tate brokers Of the same city. The young
gentlemen have been on a tour through
the Northwest, and falling in the same old
rut Of public opinion thought there was
no place on this slope of the continent to
compare with Spokane Falls. Coming
from our old stamping ground their pres
ence made US feel good all over.
Sam. 7. Arthur, a gentleman who form
erly owned the N. P. Hotel, and who has
legion Of friends in this city, was paying
his old home a visit during the latter end
Of last week. Sam. is now located at Mis-
soula, and is one Of the proprietors Of the
Occidental Hotel, one OF the best public
houses on the road. He is a devilish
clever boy, Is this same SAM, and his well
come here was a cordial one. It was his
first visit to the Falls for over a year and
he was very much surprised at the rapid
advaDcement noticeable on every hand.
J. L. Kirkman and family have gone to
Spokane Falls, W. T., where they will
make their future home. We are very

US, for Mr.. and Mrs. Kirkman have been
most excellent citizens, and Miss Ida and
Miss Viola have, with their parents, a
large number Of friends here, and have
greeted San Leandro audiences an infinite
number Of times with their rare elocution-
ary powers. We wish them all much sue
cess I'm their new home and commend
them tothe good citizens Of Spokane Falls.
