Territory. No doubt the better pOr-
tion Of the farming land Immediately
adjacent to Walla Walla, PomerOy,
COlfax, Sprague, Cheney and Spokane
Falls has been secured, still there re-
mains some land near those places
that is yet open to preemptiOn or
purchase from the railroad at reason
able figures. But there is a broad
belt Of country but a short distance
from this city to the west, or further
north in Stevens county, that is in
every respect as good as that now
under cultivation. Especially is this
the case in the wide sweep Of almost
unknown territory embraced in what
is called the Big Bend, which is des-
tined to be one of the richest sections
in the northwest. Now the land only
produces wild grasses; in five years
hence the broad eXpanse will be one
vast sea of waving grain, dotted
thickly with villages, comfortable
homes, CHURCHES and school houses.
Already is immigration setting stead
lily toward that point, and the pOpul-
Gus, thriving, happy community that
we see in our minds eye is soon to
assume a reality.

In all mercantile Establishments
the goods in stock are arranged about
the walls and shelving. These recep-
tacles are supposed to be made to
support all the weight that can be
put upon them, that is all reasonable
weight. That is what was the matter
with the shelving on the south walls
Of Sweeny & COmpany's store. They
were guaged for one hundred tons
and the boys put two hundred tons
on them. The consequence was that
Monday afternoon, as Mr.. Linden
was saving off a few yards Of dry
goods, the entire shelving collapsed
without previous notice, and the
young gentleman found himself bur-
led beneath several wagon loads Of
miscellaneous articles, that seemed
to have ten thousand corners and
every corner searching for his vitals.
Rescued from his perilous situation,
Mr. l.. was found alive and kicking,
though u multitude Of pains and
aches testified to the narrOwness Of
the escape. The shelving was re-
placed, and thinking the carpenters
had completed the work, Mr.. Sweeny
commenced replacing the goods.
When his labors were about compile
ted he noticed a get-out-of-the-way
weakness in the timber, and proceed
ed to get over the counter with an
agility borne of the proximity Of
danger. As quick as he was, the
laws Of gravitation were more sud-
den, and he was hit in the rear and
several other quarter sections of the
body by the debris. His injuries,
however, were slight, but in both
cases the escape from serious, II not
fatal wounds, was exceedingly thin.

WHILE the chief excitement, at
traction and topic of conversation
nowadays is the wonderfully rich
gold mines at our very door, in the
CGur d'Alene mountains, the sturdy
immigrant should not forget that
there are thousands OF acres OF as
productive farming land within Spo-
kane county and Eastern Washing
ton as exist anywhere in the world,
and that it is as free to the actual
settler as the air we breathe. 1t may
I've true that that day is almost past
when "Uncle Sam was rich enough to
give US all a farm" as the rapid dim
mutton of the public domain has
curtailed the extent of real estate in
the gift of the old gentleman, yet
there are many acres still remaining
awaiting the coming Of the husband
man. There may not he the strained
hopes and expectations about farm
ing that there is in connection with
mining, but in the long run the re-
suits are more satisfactory. Mines
may be fich, and Il favored few may
make fortunes, and the existence
Of gold may hasten the growth Of a
country, hut for stability, perman-
ance, and sOlidity, county relies
upon its agricultural resources. At
tention has been drawn from the
farming advantages Of the Territory
recently by the said mineral discov-
cry, but as soon as the first feversub-
sides the new conner will direct his
attention to those portions Of the
northwest wherein he may take up
land, proceed to cultivate the same
and calmly settle down to the slower
yet surer mode Of acquiring wealth,
happy in his free aud untrammeled
life, under the shadow Of his own
vine and wheat bins.
We should not lose sight of our
agricultural resources, and feeling
thus we desire to call the attention
Of those wishing to secure good land
to the inducements held out by the
unsettled sectilns Of Washington

CHARLES BEssERER, formerly pro-
prietOr of the Walla Walla Watch
man, now serving the dear people in
the Territorial Legislature, is out in
the Union in u card in which he
defends Legislators for accepting free
passes on the railroad. The commun-
icatiOn was aroused by some com
ments indulged in on the practice by
papers on the Sound, and Charles
seems quite worked up. The fact is
that the acceptance Of passes from
railroads by public servants in the
capacity of Legislators, is reprehensi-
bic and in bad taste. We care not
who the party may be, whether he is
the Hon Charles Bessercr or the Hon.
the Lord Knows Who, the act is just
as palpable. The railroad is not so
big hearted, generous and kind that
it gives passes to such men because
of the love it has for them. As COM
mon citizens the same men did not
enjoy the privilege of dead-head
tickets. We do not pretend to say
that a man can be corrupted by free
pass, but there are persons who may
haze their opinions biased by such
favOrs. The Territory is taxed to
pay the fare Of Legislators to and
from Olympia, and the pay is much
more than the actual expense Of the
trip. We don't blame men for trying
to make money out of a public Office,
as the time for serving the public for
honor is wrapped up in the obaque-
ness Of 'he far distant past. Even in
California, where railroad rule has
been notorious, the Legislators them
selves passed law making it a mis-
demeanor for persons in official capa-
cities accepting passes. The law may
be "mOre hOnOred in the breach than
in the observance" yet it neverthe-
less shows that even those men, who,
at the time they voted against the
acceptance Of railroad favOrs may
have had passes in their pockets, felt
it necessary to put an end to system
out Of which could grow no good for
the public veal.

Last Saturday evening II. L.
Holmes, Grand Representative of
this district, installed North Star
Encampment, No. 6, l. o. o. T., in
this city. The occasion was one that
will be long remembered by the par
Elephants, not only on account Of the
establishment Of a higher degree Of
the Order, but also for the pleasure
attending upon the rites of Organiza-
tion. The lodge was formed by the
election and installment Of the fol-
lowing officers: J. BsKrienbuhl, c.
p; Frank Ziegle4 y. p; J. F. C.
Abel, Senior Wafdc4; James Baird,
Junior Warden Charles Wilson,
Scribe; q. Palmtag, Treasurer. The
following is a list Of the charter mem-
bers J. J. Piper, J. b. Krienbuhl,
G. Palmtag, ]. +. c. Able, Frank
ziegler, J., Z. Sipe, M. r. Doty, J. L.
Miller, James Baird, Charles Wilson.
After the ceremony Of installation
the members adjourned to Stills Res
taurant, where that prime caterer
had spread a bountiful and elegant
repast, to which the boys did ample
justice. After the supper the party
returned to the hall and did not COM
plete their labors until early the next
morning.

THE CENTER OF ATTRACTION
Few Items About the Mines

Saturday last ]. II. Curtis, a gen.
tleman well and favorably known in
this city, arrived directly from the
CGur d'Alene gold fields. Mr.. Cur
tls was up at the camp in the inter-
ests of David Small, of Walla Walla,
arranging tOput in IA saw mill at the
earliest opportunity. Mr.. Curtis had
in his possession two fine nuggets,
one weighing oyer s25, and a guam
tity Of the finer gold. While here
he started on foot the project Of con-
structing a wagon road into the
mines, highway that connects di-
rectly with roads leading to the
Falls. 1t is hardly necessary to point
out to our people, and more espec-
tally our business men, the great adj
vantages to be derived from such a
road. 1t would be the means of
throwing a trade into the city the
extent Of which is beyond calcula-
tion. We regret to say that a luke
warmness in contributing to this
scheme has been apparent. Those
who aid in the building of the road
will have the amount returned ten
thousand fold, and If we are not very
careful some more enterprising COM
munity will take hold and turn the
current of trade out of its natural
channel. 1t may be that the sub
scription paper has not been gener-
ally circulated. Anyhow all the
contributions are as follows: Geo.
Henderson, 500; David Small, 500;
Chas. Sweeny & Co., 500; Geo. T.
Crane & Co., SlOO; F. NJ. Moore,
$50; Scheeline Bros, $50; ]. n.
Squier, $50; C. B. King & Co., 500; ;
Bank Of Spokane Falls, $50; r. w.
Forrest, $50; C. II. Duncan 4 Co.,
S25; J. Morris, S25. This represents
but $40 from the Falls, when that
amount was raised in Il few minutes
at Rathdrum. The construction Of
the road is to be under the charge of
Mr.. Curtis, which is a sufficient
guarantee that the work will be well
done. The road will start in at
point on the Mullen road fourteen
miles from the Mission, the dis
tance to be traversed being twenty
one miles. The road will be known
as the Irwin trail, named after an
old timer, ThOs. Irwin, who has
been conspicuous operator in the
mines, and who is now working a
good claim on Prichard Creek. Ac-
cording to this route the distance
from Spokane Falls, over good roads,
will be to Post Cpur dAlene %
miles, to the Mission 30 miles, to the
mines IS miles. To make travel
ing and freighting much easier
Glen b. King, at the Post, is
now engaged building good
commOdiOus steamer that will
ply between the Post and the
Mission, carrying outfits, men and
stock at low rates, and saving a
wagon trip Of 80 miles. The build
ing of this road is of vital import
ance to this city, and it is to be hoped
tina our people will not allow the
chance to slip their grasp. Our mer-
eli Is are so favorably situated that
th will be able to supply the min
ing Sapps, no matter how large they
HSt5 grow, and if the trade can be
held the mines will contribute to the
growth Of Spokane as the same
source has so materially added
to the development Of Denver.
Don't lose sight Of this project, gen.
tlemen.

We call attention to the card of
the White Brothers in another col
umn. These gentlemen have lust
opened an agency for the celebrated
White sewing machines, Weber
pianos, Sherman & Clay pianos, Estey,
New England and Sterling organs.
They are located at the corner of
Stevens street, on Riverside avenue.
They have been rushed with orders
since opening, and have been COM
PEELED to send for large number of
machines. Persons desiring anything
in their line should give them call.

The Holland Comedy company.

Our people are promised a rare
treat next week when the Holland
Comedy Company will occupy the
boards In CannOn's Hall for five con-
secutive evenings, commencing next
Tuesday night. Our city never be-
fore enjoyed so long a season Of stage
performance, and it Is question in
our mind how it will succeed, but If
the same liberal patronage is extend
ed to the Hollands rs has heretofore
been given to troupes of lesser merit
why the result will assuredly be sat
isfactory to the manager. The fact
that the company performs more
than one night is proof that 1t is ca
pable Of pleasing, and is ready and
willing to travel on its merits.
The press Of the interior speaks well
Of the company, each member Of
which strives to please, and do 50
under all circumstances. The re-
pertOrie will include the celebrated
plays "Our American Cousin" lied
Astray," "Pink Dominoes," "Un-
equal Match, +" and "Serious Family"
with 40 and 5O' as an after piece.
There will be a change Of programme
every evening. May the troupe be
welcomed with crowded houses.

WITH an activity and keeness
worthy of a better cause our neigh
bOrs at Cheney took advantage of the
antics of one or two persons and at
tempted to make capital out of it.
We refer to the hanging Of Stitzel in
etiigy. The stuffed figure was the
work Of only few boys and some
person, with a perfect disregard to
the truth, telegraphed from Cheney
to Olympia that the citizens Of SpO-
kane Falls had assembled and burned
Stitzel in efiigy. There is not a
shadow of fact in any such state
ment. The performance was done
on the sly and the people are ignor-
ant Of the perpetrators, who are not
even upheld in the act. Jake may
succeed in awakening sympathy by
parading statement Of this kind,
but if the Legislators are biased in
their votes by report of that kind,
without investigating its truth, we
will be led to believe that the legis-
lature is made up of no better ma
terial than are most Of such political
bodies.
