1t was the general suppOsitiOn out
side of this city that the building
improvements Of Spokane Falls this
season would be confined to the brick
blocks already in process of construc-
tiOn, and the very enviOus expressed
an idea that those contemplated
would never be completed. How
far they are mistaken in the latter
conclusion can he seen in the solid
walls of masonery creeping up on
Howard street and Riverside ave-
nue., and the fact that other residents
with means contemplate putting up
more business houses yet this year,
proves that the faith in the Falls re-
mains mistaken and that the present
is but the beginning Of future great
ness. Out side of substantial blocks
in the center of the city the outskirts
Of the place have been and are now
filling up with a better class of resi-
dences, and these additions have
been so numerous as to make it al
most impossible to keep run of them.
But to return to the commercial
houses. Although getting late to
commence any new buildings with
sure prospects of completing the
same before the arrival of frost, sew
eral parties are figuring on making
the attempt. District Attorney $, C..
Hyde has the plans and specifica-
tiOns drawn for a handsome One-stOry
brick to fit in the vacant lot that ad-
joins Mr.. Rima's new brick on the
east side Of Howard street, between
First and Main. Judging from the
plans, this edifice, while it may be
somewhat curtailed in hight in COM
parisOn with its more pretentiOus
neighbors, will in no respect be be-
hind them in point of finish both in
side and out, and will in no manner
detract from the imposing appear
ance that thOroughfare will present
upon the completion of the blocks
under way. Contractor Benham has
been figuring on the work, and as he
knows how to do it the probabilities
are good by a big majority that he
will superintend the labor of putting
the house together. This week,
Charley Carson, our well-known
restaurateur, purchased from Messrs,
Cannon, Browne and Glover a lot on
Riverside avenue and Post street,
which he proposes to Immediately
cover with a brick building 42xS4,
His plan is to run the block up three
stories and will introduce the hoteI
system run on the European plan,
The upper stories will be arranged
and fitted up as sleeping and living
apartments, while on the ground
floor he will put in a restaurant that
promises to surpass in equipments
and finish anything Of the kind in
the upper country, not excepting
even Portland. There is some diff.
Guilty experienced in securing the
necessary building material, but as
Charley is one of the kind that dOes
not permit any common obstacles tC
stand in his way, it is safe to predict
that his proposed building will short,
| ly be under way. Messrs. France &
KenwOrthy, two enterprising gentle.
men who recently landed in Spokane
Falls with an intention to stay right
here, have purchased lot on River,
side avenue almost opposite the RE
VIEW office, and are now contracting
for the lumber to put up a substan.
tial grain warehouse 2lX4O. Thi'
building will be ready for occupancy
about October lst, and supplies 4
depot for much Of the grain that vii
be hauled into this city this fall.

marble statue life, was well and artistically
given.
A large crowd thronged San Pedro springs

Special Correspondence of the Evening Light.
FLoREsvILLE, March ~, 1884 lesson
is taught in the death of Mr.. Edward Zoos,
late foreman of the Chronicle office, who died
in his room at Floresville on the night of the
18th inst, after weeks excessive use OF
alcoholic stimulants," as reads the verdict of
the jury of inquest. Otherwise he was man
of many noble qualities, and loved by all who
knew him, and an expert in the art preserva-
tive OF arts. But in an evil hour he permits
the demon strong drink to overpower him,
the intoxicating cup to touch his Hps.
Who can fattom his thoughts as he lay in his
room, far from home and relatives, and no
friend near to speak words of encouragement
in his dying moments.
We are glad to note the many substantial
improvements that are being made by the
Calavaras Bride Co.. at their bridge. We
hope soon to chronicle other and more ex-
tensive Improvements to be made by this live
corporation.
The Chronicle is steadily improving under
its present management and is fast gaining
patronage, having discarded lis state
plate matter for more flesh and
newsy clippings. We notice, however,
that one of the Chronicle correspondents
makes free use of my nom de plume.
Court is in session again. Nothing ofinter-
est to your readers has been transacted,
although quite number of citizens from all
parts of the country are in attendance.
With plenty Of rain, followed by pleasant
sunshine, Nature is fast changing her garb to
beautiful green, intermingled with many
pretty flowers, and giving the farmer plenty Of
work amongst the growing crops. Oats is
almost an entire failure, having been killed by
the late freeze. Nearly ell is now being
plowed up and planted to other crops.

THE LITTLE GIRL IN BLUE.
Miss Eva BrittOn, of the Hurricane Mag
azine, Says She's infatuated.

Miss Eva Britton, of the Hurricane Mag
azine, Says She's infatuated.
The little girl in blue, who has been flashing
like meteor through the streets of San An
tonic, informed an acquaintance last night
that she was perfectly infatuated by the
city. 81 have been very courteously treated
here, as rule" said she, "and have been very
successful i'm my work of soliciting subscrip-
tions. But some persons, because of my trav-
cling alone, stare rather rud ely and otherwise
annoy me-"
Miss BrittOn is engaged in studying the
Spanish language, and goes every evening to a
tamale stand on Military plaza to converse
With a Mexican woman. Having heard of her
habit many persons visit the plaza to enjoy
her amusing attempts to acquire a correct
pronunciation.
Besides that gained by her literary work Miss
Britton enjoys reputation as one of the best
horsewOmen in the country. At home she has
several fleet horses and when there may be
daily seen riding at full speed She possesses
several trophies of victory in racing, among
others a handsome whip won in contest with
the reputed champion lady rider of the world
Miss Britton began the publication of an
amateur paper when but IL years of age. Such
a thing was a novelty i'm South Carolina and
though she had anticipated success, the patron
age surprised her. So great was it that she de-
cided to enlarge the field of her employment
She increased the size and improved the tone
and scope of her paper and then began
soliciting elsewhere like encouragement to
that which had been so cordially rendered her
i'm her native State. Since then she has been
travelling a great part of the time, only re-
manning at home when her presence is neces-
| sary. All the principal articles for hnr paper
are written by her and all the others are edited
by her. She sends them by mail to her mother,
who follows her instructions as to the order
and the style of their appearance. Her father
has been dead many years.
The family of which Miss Britton is member
is one of the oldest and most highly esteemed
in South Carolina. Members of it are known
by several persons in this city, among others
by Mr.. George Dsshiell, late District Clerk.
Miss BrittOn is a very independent little
woman and is proud of her business ability
She is but Is years old-at that most interesting
period of girl life when childishness and
womanliness seem happily united-but, as she
declares, has 'had lots of experience"

Why She Collects Stamps.

An advertisement has appeared every day
of late in one of the Vienna papers, asking
the owners of used postage stamps for contri-
buttons. The advertiser, it is now found ont.
is young lady of the ballet; she needs some
millions OF stamps. The reason why is thus
told: Last summer she went with Count Anton
to Relchenau. The Count was not young,
but generous. The ballerine was unhappy,
however, and expressed her opinions on mar
rage to him very pointedly. At last the Count
promised to lead the fair danseuse to the altar
on one condition-if she would collect as
many used postage stamps as would paper the
walls of his grand salon. She took him at his
word. The walls are now, it is said, covered
with many thousands of stamps, but the pla-
fond is still white, and the Vienna paper calls
on the population of Vienna to assist in COM
pleting the work. "Up, ye postage stamp
collectors of Vienna Pour out the abundance
OF your stamp collections, so that the two low
ing, faithful hearts may at last be united"

NORTH CAROLINA WILD WOMAN.
Three Hunters Who Attempted to Cap.
ture Her Forced to Retreat.

CAMDEN, S. c., March IS.-Some months
ago, in one of the swamps between the noun
tains of Western North Carolina, great ex-
element was caused by the discovery of a
woman, seen sometimes in perfectly nude
condition, and again clothed in skins roughly
fastened together with withes of live oak. All
attempts to catch her were futile, as she was
very fleet of foot, and escaped into the swamp
After she had been pursued for a month she
suddenly disappeared, and it was supposed
that she had been drowned in one OF The stag
nant pools of the swamp. On Tuesday last.
while some farmers were hunting in The
swamps near here, one of their number. who
strayed away from his companions, was
startled by hearing quick cry and seeing a
tall woman run off swiftly through the under
growth, He reported the fact, and since the;
parties have been out every day attempting to

THE CATTLE MARKET
Reported Especially for the Light by
DR. McGOwn, Live Stock Agent.

The horse trade is still on the boom. Good
saddle horses are held at stiff rates, with an adj
vancing tendency. The supply is still short of
the demand for that kind of stock. Among
the transactions the past week were 800 head
of aged horses and mares, sold at S13 per head
much below the market price. But very little
fat stock has appeared on the market this
spring.
Few mules and good horses are on the mar
ket at present.
A few years ago horse trading was dull at S.
per head, but is now brisk at the rates SO to
SIS for common, and SIS to $40 for improved.
Take good horses and improve your stock for
five years more and your profits will be enor-
nous The rearing of horse stock on the
range is much easier and cheaper than the rails
ing of any other stock.
The raising of sheep, goats and cattle is like
raising cotton and tobacco; they are never off
of your hands,
Round up your horses twice a year, brand
and castrate them and the most of your
trouble is over. Put about % mares in one
bunch with a mustang stallion to hold them to-
gether on the range. IfyOu desire To cross
your stock buy good stallion and at the right
season of the year put your mares in pasture
and take out the mustang and put in your
booded stallion.
We close this week without a material
change of prices.
