Of town, and was on the way to the SpO-

There is good deal Of the lumber used
in this country that warps out OF shape by
Il little application Of sun. A man puts on
| a board in good faith early in the morning
and when he gets around at night there is
/ the inside Of the blasted plank cuTlcd
around and reaching out to shake hands
/ with him.
II you have occasion to go to Medical
I Lake, and our advice is TO make the Oc-
casion, do not fail to stop at the Cottage
House, run by that prince Of tavern keep
! ers, e. w. Robbins. The accommodations
at this house are as good as can be had in
the territory. See the card Of the house in
another column.
The Marshal was called upon Thursday
night to squelCh row in one Of the dons
Of lniquity that exists in the city. A couple
Of the female inmates INDUCED in revO-
luton, and the cloud Of war was very
threatening until the stars OF authority
arose ON the scene and shed the rays Of
peace over the trOOblc.
A number Of the boys were out passing
around a ball the other day. We took
hold Of and let go Of itr again, and We're
surprised to find 1t had ROt sqftened any
since some dozen years ago when We en-
iOyed handling it. Base Nba1l is nice
game for cast iron men, but we will take
something little milder in ours.
II the express agent, railroad agent and
others who are required to be on hand at
the arrival Of trans were not schOOled
against the habit they would be tempted
10 deal in some pretty still expressions
now that the trains are due here between
IL and II and and at night. They turn
out on time and pray for an early change.
When the Northern Pacific road is once
opened for travel Spokane Falls will be
visited by many tirst-class trOupes, and
one OF our great wants is a large and COM
mOdiOus opera house. We have two or
three neat nails, but they are too small TO
comfortable acCOmm9date the crowds that
will turn out to Il superior class Of amuse-
ments.
V. W. Van Vie, who tills the virgin soil
4 Us.1a.
fine a stand Of grain this year as can be
found anywhere m the country. He owns
80 acres Of land that indicates a prOduc-
tiyeness that equals any Of the land now
worked. Yet, we are told, there is good
deal Of farming land in his vicinity that is
not yet taken up.
Harry Hayward completed taking the
school census last FRIDAY, and the total
number Of chill Iren between and Is foot
up to 81, against 2nj last year. Besides
these there are several hundred infants
under years, and few babies over Is,
and II ali signs do not fail IN dry weather
the probabilities arc that there will be a
great Increase by the time for the taking
Ui the next census.
Last week we stated that our good neigh |
Dor, W. kOhlhon, had resigned the posi-
ton Of night-watchman. Tins was all true
enough, but some OF our influential citi- /
zcns induced Mr.. X. to keep right ON for
the present, and although there Is nothing |
in II but a long vigil the gentleman good .
naturedly cunscnted TO keep ON for the .
presenty He has been u good guardian .
and ought 10 receive a far better salary /
than he has been getting Pungis up, I
gentlemen.
The railroad boys have had some ex- .
citing experience Of late running trains .
through burning timber and wood fires. |
East OF here the company has lost a vast .
amount Of cut wood piled long the track, !
and iN kOme instances the trains have .
dashcdJhrOugh q gauntlet Of fire so hot /
rs 10 blister the paint and scOrch the cars. |
The train due Wednesday night was de- |
layed several hours by fierce lire. The I
loss TO the railroad IN dollars has been .
very heavy.
We understand that the fellow who bur |
glarizcd one Of the Fish Commissioners |
trunks last week, had the audacity 10 pa
nde about town In suit Of the stolen .
clothing and inquired at Rma's as 10 the .
value OF some Of the jewClry that he fell /
heir to in the raid. For unadul Grated |
gall he takes the banana, and should be /
elected to Congress at the first favorable .
opportunity, for with his peculiar talent .
he would make his mark IN some high .
public capacity.
A. W. Oils, a gentleman who recently .
arrived IN this city from the East and who
has so good an opinion Of the place that
he is willing TO invest ducats on the
strength of ITS prospects, purchased a
large slice Of real estate from the MethO-
dist College trustees last week. The land
is advanIageOusly located on the north
side Of the river, and when the POst-stTcet .
bridge is completed will he in easy reach
Of the city. Mr.. Oils has not made up hIs
mind as yet whether he will spend the
winter with us, but 1t is probable that he
will make his future home at the Falls.
The United States army was almost de-
mOnlzed last week, by the deseTtiOn OF
a private from Fort Missoull. The wearer
of the blue must have been crooked In his
head gear, for he only had one more
month to serve when he skipped, and he
no sooner reached the Falls, Sunday, than
he surrendered to a lieutenant who hap
pened to be in the city. The weak war
riOr was given a nights lodging in Jail,
and the officer fcIt so Interested in the
case that Monday he sent the. wanderer
to Fort CPur d'Alene, and ordered a squad
Of soldiers to go with him so that he would
not get lonely on the way.
The drunkest man we have seen i'm the
territory sailed by the office early Tues
day morning. There was no eXuberant,
bully good time about his case, but a
regular old skin full soak. lie was so
Timber that the prOverbial dish rag was
rigid i'm comparison. His knees iiOOped
out until they nearly assumed the attitude
OF devotion, and tnen would wObblc in
and rattle together like castanets. His
head rolled about as though on pivot,
and his arms waved about like a streamer
in u light breeze. He was all tangled up,
and TO an observer 1t was impossible 70
say at what moment he would fall entirely
to pieces. He became awful tired beyond
the REVIEW office and took position at
full length in the middle Of the street,
where he remained until some kindly dis
posed mortal came along and ran him
under cover.
