Hfyersfde avenue and MN street, IN
his commodious store, with frontage

$4,000. During 1882, in the cramped
quarters occupied by Mr.. Cannon, he
did a mercantile business amounting
to Sl2j,OOO. The present season will
find this trade increased to one
fourth Of a million. The First Ma

undergone the trying ordeal of a
rigid investigation by N. p. Lang
ford, Esq, U. s., Government Exam
liner Of National Banks, who has pro-
nounccd the above institution one of
the most stable of the many Of like
kind in the country, and under the
efficient corps of officers by which it
is now managed and controlled, must
continue to prosper.

The new boulevard will begin at
the terminOus Of Howard street, 100
feet in width, and about four miles
in length, will ascend the mountain

its summit, afTOrding a charming
view Of the river, falls and plateau in
the distance, over looking the tall
pines at its base, passing through the
palisades Of the Hangman, where it
will merge into Riverside avenue,
following up the river bank and
spray from the falls. This work is
under the supervision Of that conf
petent engineer, Mr.. Windingstad
Of+he n. p. r. r., and will be very
attractive feature of the town.

1882 the cut and sales af the mill ran
up to 5,OOO,OOO feet. The Spokane
Sash, Door and Blind Factory. This

successful operation. The local de-
mand this season being so great even
with SO extensive a mandatory

abled to supply it.

ings constructed Of that material are
Of solid brick walls, iron fronts,

of excellent quality, and fuel, water,
ETC., very accessible.
