We rc-echo the sentiments of our
contemporary, the chronicle, in the
organization in our city Of a free
reading room. 1t would be a good
thing beyond the extent Of compu-
tation for the boys, if they would
profit by it, which they would not,
as we know from experience. The
class Of boys who have a desire to
add to their information by reading
would do far better and would enjoy
it more TO do their reading at the
home firesidc. But those who
would derive a vast amount Of pleas
ure from such an institution are the
young and elderly men who are
focking into our city, without homes
and almost without friends, who

A. J. Prichard, who was in the
city Thursday, gave us the following
information regarding the mines:
People are going in and coming out
daily, and the trail is really in bet
ter condition now than during any
time this fall. a great many people
are cOngregatcd at the Post, prepar-
ing to go in in the spring. A steamer
runs from the Post to the Mission.
The distance up the CGur dAlene
river to the Mission from the lake is
so miles and there is - feet of water
in the river up within a mile Of the
Mission. Men are carrying supplies
up to the mines by row boats from
the Mission. The only impediment
to navigation on the river is II heavy
drift about nine miles below the
mouth Of PriChard Creek, where a
portage Of half Il mile has to be made.
\ number of Indians are packing in
on horses, and white man, living

animals to take up for packing.
Freighting is ten cents per pound.
The mines that can be worked are
paying well, and the gold is not con-
fined to one single gulch. a party
named Campbell washed out 5000 in
two days from a claim on Eagle
creek early this week. As an indi-
cation Of the extent of the deposit
Mr.. Prichard informs us that in dig

the country has not been half pros
pected, and predicts richer finds
than have yet been made. Capital
lists have become interested i'm the
mines and are there to invest, many
claims having been purchased. Men
representing several hundred thous-
and dollars are stopping at the Post
ready to seize upon the first Oppor-
tunity to get hold of some Of the
most promising leads. lie thinks
that next summer the mountains
will be flooded with people. There
is a great future in store for the CGur

We learn that G. a. AbsOlOm and
w. II. Maxwell have joined hands
together for the purpose of conduct.
ing a real estate office in this city.
Mr.. Absolom's long residence here
eminently qualities him for handling
both inside and outside property, be-
ing thoroughly acquainted with
every part and parcel of real estate
in the neighbOrhOOd, while Mr..
Maxwell has gained invaluable
knowledge of the city by his long
experience as Il surveyor, having
laid out and plated about every ad-
dition to the Falls. The new firm
takes possession Of their cheerful
and sumptuOus rooms in Brownies
Block to-day, where they may be
found hencefOrth. They carry some
of the very best property now held
for sale about the city, and persons
contemplating investments should
call upon them.

For sometime the papers of Wash
ington Territory have been devoting
considerable space to discussing the
division Of the territory. Perhaps it
would be more proper to say that
they have been busily engaged in
making light of the proposition with
out giving any sound reasons why
such Il division should not be made.
While we may not be prepared to
offer any more logical reasons why
the dissecting knife should be ap-
piled, than those already presented
by the few papers siding in with di-
vision, yet just at the present time
our voice is for carving the territory
into two equal parts. This idea has
grown out of feeling we entertain
that the western part Of the Terri
tory desires to gOuge all the power
and benefits to be derived from the
present territorial government.
Great and oppressive injustice is
done this section by failing to give
it a proper representation Perhaps
our ire has led us into an error of
opinion, but from the present situa-
ton we join in with the mass of the
people, who feel that they have been
imposed upon. In the way Of repre-
Hentation it is proper to state that
Spokane county as it formerly eX-
listed rated as the second county in
population in the Territory, and
showing as large m increase as any
or all others, is left out in the cold
without even Representative.
Walla Walla county, with less peo-
pie, has three Representatives, and
one Councilman, while SpOkaneites
are expected to hold their tongue
and elect one Councilman in con-
junction with seventeen counties,
more or less, and whip in with a
neighbOr on a Representative. Other
counties in Eastern Washington
have the same complaint to make,
and it is high time that the people
lifted up their their voices and de-
manded a division, or some other
measure that will result in securing
them their rights.

Some week or two ago we stated
in a general way, on the strength of
what we considered pretty reliable
information, that II. W. Forrest, one
Of our old time and prosperous mcr-
chants, would take possession Of his
new and handsome store in the
Union Block ON the first Of the new
year. 1t seems that we were some
what premature in OuTnoticC, rs Mr..
Forrest will not move at all, having
rented the room to a couple Of gen
tlemen just from Wisconsin, T.. c.
Cove and w. l.. Bean, who expect
to take possession Of the premises
January LIST. We met Mr.. Cove Fri
day, but, whether through mOdcsty
or indifference, the gentleman wGs
not at all communicative and we are
unable to say to what extent the
new firm will spread out. We un-
dcrstand, however, that the mem
bers represent Il large capital and
will put i'm stock Of groceries that
will be large enough to meet the de-
mands Of the trade.

Last evening the new organization
known as the Spokane Social Club
gave their first ball in Xeigler's Hall.
This club was formed by number
of the young men of the place for
the purpose of providing amuse-
ment during the winter. Those
who were the prime movers in pei
fccting the organization have shown
praisewOrthy desire to insurc re-
creation and pleasure for the young
people who draw enjoyment from
the light fantastic, and they have 50
arranged as to conduct the dances of
the club on the highest standard.
Only those invited are permitted to
take part, thus excluding any unde-
sirablc element 1t is proposed to
give these dances twice n month, ON
the 2nd and 18th Friday evenings Of
each month. The attendance last
night was quite large, the fine
weather being favorable for the pas
time, and the pleasure extracted
from the occasion Of corresponding
magnitude. The initial ball was all
that could have been expected, and
is favorable omen of the success
that is to accompany all future efforts.
We wish the Spokane Social Club Il
season Of prosperity.

TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION.
SATURDAY, DEC. Is, 1888.

WE acknowledge the receipt Of the
first number Of The Pacific Coast, a
new literary monthly devoted en-
tirely to the vast and interesting ter
ritory lying west Of the mountains.
The publication is issued by w. b.
Bancroft Il Co., of San Francisco,
and is a meritOrious paper both in its
literary charlctcrand its appearance.
We see that G. B. Carlisle, an old
and experienced journalist has charge
Of the department set aside for the
Northwest, and his knowledge of
the country well fits him for treat
ing upon it. We hope the new can
didate will escape the usual break
ers that have so often wrecked Cali
fornia literary ventures.

The Board of Commissioners ap-
pointed to complete an organization
of Lincoln county, composed of
Messrs. MCGaren, Bartelle and Will
lis, the latter gentleman now Of this
city but largely interested at Har-
ringtOn, will meet at Davenport
next Tuesday to carry out the duty
for which they were appointed to
fulfill. We have talked with l.. D..
Willis on the subject, and that gen
tleman states that it is the diSpOsi.
tion and intention of the board to
he as just and impartial in the dis
tributiOn Of the several offices as it
is possible, giving each locality a
fair representation. We are person.
ally acquainted with Mr.. W., and
can cheerfully bear testimony to his
disintcrestcdness. If the balance of
the board entertain the same feeling
it is safe to say that the people of
Lincoln county will have no occasion
to find fault With the result of the
deliberations of the board next Tues
day.

Through the kindness Of Charley
Lawson we were permitted Friday
to examine rich specimen Of silver
quartz that he received this week
from the Cpur GAlene mines, that
had been forwarded by a prospector
in the camp. The rock looks TO be
full Of virgin silver, and expert
cnced miners who have examined
the specimen estimate that it will
run from $500 to SlO0 to the ton.
The piece comes from an exceeding
ly valuable ledge, and If the quartz
bearing rock holds out it will prove
another bonanza. II would seem
from the various specimens received
here that the C0uT PAlene noun

have no means of passing the even
ings. To them a free reading room
would be Il blessing. We would
have our people 90 farther, however,
and organize public library assOcia-
tion, with which the reading room
could be an auxiliary. There is
hardlya city on the coast that CctoeS
not maintain Il public library, and
there is no reason in tie world why
Spokane Falls should not sustain II
refining and instructive institution
Of this character.

Wednesday morning a small band
of young gentlemen from this city
started out for the CHur dAlene
mines fully equipped for stay of
several months. The party was
made up of w. r. Stoll, Fred. Wick
sham, Henry White and Geo. But
Ter, all of whom are backed by youth,
grit and determination to make Il
strike if there he anything to strike.
The boys are fired with an honorable
ambition, and we hope the new FL
Dorado will be an FL Dorado indeed
to them. This is not the first trip
for some of the party, several Of them
having visited the gold fields early
in the fall and they know what they
are about. They are making the
preliminary arrangements for trans
porting stock Of goods into the
camp, and one of the party left on
Thursday evening, by way of the
n. p. railroad, with the aforesaid
goods. They propose being early
birds in the camp, and if the mines
turn out as well as is anticipated,
we predict the young men may reap
II harvest. May success be theirs in
whatever shape they may hunt for
fortune.

W. p. Dart, local agent for the eX-
tensively known Westinghouse Man
ufacturing Company, Of Schenccta-
dy, New York, called upon us
Friday. lie tells us that the COM
plny that he represents propose to
put up a large depot in Spokane
Falls next spring and make this the
distributing point for the entire
northwest. Mr.. Dart is looking out
for good location and will at once
purchase lot, upon which the nee
eSsary buildings will be erected early
in the new year. We consider that
the company was wise in choosing
this city as the general depot for this
upper country, and feel safe in say
ing that Mr.. Dart will find no diff
Guilty in doing a large business with
that line Of goods. The agent him
self Is m active, go-ahCad-ativc gem
