express that idea.

An enthusiastic and entercsting
meeting was held in Clnnon's Hall
last Friday evening for the purpose
Of discussing the proposed scheme OF
building u wagon road from this city
to Okanogan. Some Of our most lib
eral spirited citizens were present
and showed that they were deeply
intepested in a proposition II carried
out win prove of great assistance in
building up the trade Of Spokane
Falls. Mayor Glover was called to
the Chair and J. w. Binkley elected
Secretary. J. w. Adams, a gentle
man who is interested in the future
Of Douglas county and who secured
the division making the county, ad-
dressed the audience and in a plain
and succinct manner set forth the
Importance Of the highway from this
point on the railroad to the Big Bend
country. He pointed out the route
to be traversed and explained the
course, distance and probable cost Of
the proposed enterprise.
District Attorney S. c. Hyde, L.
Zlegler, Col. C. O.. Bradshaw, A. NJ.
Cannon, J. N. Glover, DIR. Candy,
Dan. Drumheller and others spoke
briefly upon the subject, all fully
alive to the great necessity of carry
ing out the project, and that at once.
In order to start the business on
motion a committee Of five was ap-
pointed to act in the premises con-
sisting of A. M. Cannon, d. NJ. Drum
heller, DIR. ]. E. Candy, J. w. Adams
and Wendell Hall.
Another committee was appointed
for the purpose of securing mail
service, consisting of Col. c. G. Brad.
shaw, s. c. Hyde and l.. Ziegler.
The meeting adjourned to meet
again next Friday evening.
In this connection we may add
that J. w. Adams and Wendell Hall,
who is civil engineer, started out
on the road Monday for the purpose
Of looking up the most practicable
route. AS a heavy snow storm came
on the same morning and the wealth
er has been off ever since 1t is hard
ly possible that they have accom-
plished their object.

In a recent number Of an obscure
and irresponsible paper published in
Portland appeared a scurrilous arti-
cle rejecting upon the honesty and
courtesy Of the passenger conductors
Ialning on the Northern Pacific road
from Wallula east, holding-them up
to odium in comparison with the
ticket punchers of the o. r. 4 N. di-
vision. We are here to protest
against such uncalled for and unde-
served censure. We know nothing
derogatory to the character Of the
boys on the o. r. & N, but presume
they are fitted for the positions or
they would not be retained, but this
much we do know that the charges
made against the conductors on this
branch is false in every particular,
and that there is not an excuse for
any such uncharitable statements.
The gentlemen who have charge of
passenger trains on this division are
Thos. Flynn, Len. Curtis and Sam.
Smith, all of them old and tried rail-
road men, who have earned by their
gentlemanly department, their uni
versal courtesy to the travelling pub
lie and their strict attention to busi-
ness the friendship Of the people and
the respect and confidence of their
employers. The article we find fault
with Is not only an injustice to one
Of the best lot of railroad boys in the
North vest, but it is also reflection
upon Superintendent Sam Henry,
who is to certain extent account
able for the acts of the force under
him. Even were the charges true
the cause for fault finding would not
exist for a moment after coming to
the ears Of Mr.. Henry, and the fact
that he trusts and has every conf
dence in his conductors is Of itself a
sufficient refutation to the falsehOOds
circulated by the Portland sheet.

We are willing to hazard the state
ment that there cannot be found on
the entire line Of the Northern Pa
cific, or for that matter any other
road, an eating house equal in ap-
pearance and appointments to that
just thrown open to the public by
WIN. Kaiser, proprietor Of the
Sprague House, situated along side
the railroad track only a short dis
tsnce east Of the depot. This place
will be known as the "Overland COf-
fee LInch Room and Bakery"
1t contains three rooms, very con-
veniently built. In the front ap-
partment is displayed large variety
Of appetizing viands, canned and
bottled edibles. A large Acorn stove
heats the room, that is perfect gem
in all its fixtures. Just back Of the
eating room is the kitchen, fitted up
with a fine Acorn range and all the
necessary articles for turning out a
a square meal. To the west, con-
nected with the kitchen is a store
room cram full Of viands Of every
description. The lunch house has
been furnished throughout without
regard to expense, and all the latest
improved furniture for expediting
the turning out Of a meal has been
procured. Mr.. Kaiser deserves
credit for supplying an eating house
that is bound to become as popular
with the travelling population as his
hotel. This establishment is to be
managed and entirely controlled by
Mrs. Kaiser, who will we ably as
sisted by Miss Susie Courtwright, a
daughter of Jas. COurtwright, who
has station on the road between
this city and Camp Spokane. We
hope to see the ladies make a grand
and paying success out Of the ven
ture.

W. H. Bishop, County Auditor,
announces through the medium Of
posted notices that a special election
will be held at the California House,
in the city of Spokane Falls, on the
10th day of January, 1884, at II
o'clock A. M, for the purpose Of elect
ing a Justice OF the Peace to fill a va
cancy now existing in said office
in Spokane Falls precinct. 1t seems
our city is entitled to two Justices.
Mr.. J. N. Nosler was elected to that
office last spring, qualified but re-
signed in a few days, his outside
business preventing him from de-
voting his time to the office. Since
then one Justice has been doing the
work of two. Hence the call for a
fresh choice.

was very large, the trees beautiful
and everybody happy. Prior to the

Next Monday evening the men,

Coneordia will give party in GLOW

affair and from the general express
sion we believe that the attendance
will be very large. The ball will be
prefaced by exercises Of a musical
nature, and as the club embraces
some excellent vocalists we may
look for something in the line Of a
concert superior to the generality Of
that class of entertainments.

TIE SUN,H ENEL

What keeps the majestic ball hot and
bright? This has greatly engaged phys
lcists and astronomers, and various
have been their theories. If the
sun shone only by mere combustion of
its own materials the calculation is that
its fire would not last 5000 years. It is
very kind of DR.. Siemens to come for
ward with an entirely new theory, which
holds out the hope that the men of sci
ence are all wrong with their miserable
foreboding, and that the creation is not
schemed on the poor footing of Ger
man stove or suburban gas company.
The learned iron master and physicist
believes that the sun may very well go
on Illuminating and warming our world
and the family of sister planets for an
indefinite if not infinite time.
He supposes interstellar space to be
filed with an extremely attenuated hydro
gen, and interplanetary space with dens-
er gas, albeit more rarifed than the at
mosphere drawn around each world. The
SUD, he thinks, whirling on its axis,
draws into its poles the thin hydrogen,
hydro carbon and oxygen of our sphere,
and these being kindled are projected
outward at his equator into space. The
accepted view is that the heat and light
there developed and radiated perish, as
far as we are concerned, except for the
small portion arrested by each solar sat
elite; but DR.. Siemens argues that this
heat and light do their chief work in de-
composing the carbonic oxide and wa
terry vapor which were produced by the
kindling at the solar poles, so that the
sun itself perpetually renews its own
supplies, and restores by its energy the
waste matter that has fed that energy.
The theory is much too technical and
complicated to be here discussed, and
we should offer bad compliment to its
ingenious author even to attempt such
"a K. Or. Siemens, however, has had
great experience with the phenomena
Of radiated heat, and his application of
the new view to the nature of the zodi-
aoaI light and Of comets is particularly
striking. Of course, it is startling to
hear of something in our own system
which closely resembles perpetual mo-
ton; and those who maintain that every
thing comes to an end, and that all me-
chanical energy must be gradually de-
graded and metamorphosed, will be slow
to receive the new suggestion. London

LICKING IN FLDER

One summer in the years agone while
camp-meeting was in progress in Eaton
county there arrived on the grounds O
bully named Miller, who had made a
vow to lick Elder johnson and break I'M
the whole business. The Elder heard
the News with calm composure. and as
econ as at liberty, ne hunted up a world
ly friend OF his own and asked:
Friend Smith, didn't you used to
fight IN your younger days?"
"Ah Elder, 1 have had many a turn
With the boys
And what is the effect of sudden
blow between the eyes?"
lit astonishes and humbles."
Is there any danger of killing man
by such a blow? ?"
Never knew case of it."
The Elder went his way with a serene
smile on his face. Miller had his coat
OIL and was hunting for him, and they
met face to face as they turned a wagon.
Miller started to crack his heels and
crow, but he never finished. The Elder
took him one square between the look
chs without stopping his pace, and it
tooh twelve rowdies, three dippers of
wa1e~ and two quarts of whisky to re-
yiye the patient and get him off the
grounds. One day, year afterward,
he met the Elder and seriously asked:
Elder, some Of the boys say I was
kicked by a horse, and others stick to it
that I WAS struck by lightning, but I've
always had suspicion that you hit me
with a provision stand. How was it,
ANYHOW ?"-DetrOH Free Press.
