once. The size Of rents induce those who
have the coin to invest in some kind Of a
| shelter.
A large new building is being put up in
| the rear Of the old Indiana House. It is
being built by the Carter Brothers, who
have a blacksmith shop at the corner Of
Main and Mill streets, and those skillful
workmen are to use the lower story for
their business, to meet the demands for
more room.
The Post-strcet bridge has been thrown
open to traffic and trayel is drifting that
way. The approach from the south side
needs some improvement, that on the
north having been graded, The compile
ton Of this link between the two banks
has had the effect Of initiating property on
the north shore.
Alexander Domie, the clever assistant
in the butcher shop OF Wilson a Turner,
will branch out next week. He proposes
to open a meat market i'm the stand that
has been occupied by Clough a Downing
on Riverside avenue, that firm expecting
to retire from business. We wish the
young man luck in his undertaking.
We hear numerous complaints from
subscribers that their REVIEWS are stolen
as soon as delivered. We are pleased to
know that the paper is in such demand,
yet must protest against this method Of
securing copies, and will warn the lifters
that il caught in the act they will have
| considerable trouble on their hands.
The people throughout the city have on
full head Of indignation, and II Stitzel
could drop into a crowd in. cog. and hear
the pathetic and poetic illusions linked
with his name he would feel very much
annoyed and perhaps would get on good
disgust. 1t is very evident that on his re-
turn he will not be received with a brass
band and wreath Of flowers Leastwisc
not at this station.
on the front Of the cover Of pamphlet
giving a new list OF offices and agents for
Wells, Fargo a Cos express is a cut Of a
stack Of boxes, bales and packages and
safe, guarding which is dog with an in
telligent, don't-tourh-me cast Of counte-
nance. This cut is lIfe-like picture Of
dog known as "Rattler," formerly owned
| by Steph. Whitman, Wells, Fargo agent
at this place. The dog gave up the ghost
sometime anterior to the present date from
the effects OF cold poison, and the picture
is taken from q tintyre Of the animal.
Colonel Bradshaw has finished his task
OF drawing up a charter for this city, and
we can say without fear Of successful CON
tradiction that in all essential points it is
as perfect a chart as is enjoyed by any city
west Of the mountains, large or small. 1t
is volumnous document, and touches
upon every subject that may hereafter
come up for action. The city has needed
something Of the kind, and people will be
better satisfied knowing the fact. The
charter goes to olympia Monday, to be
submitted TO the Legislature Tor their
action.
Thursday morning those whose foot
steps led them in the vicinity Of River
side avenue were appalled, at seeing the
body Of man swinging in the air by a
/
front Of Cann0n's Bank. On clOscr4in-
spcc,ion. however, the figure proved to be
a dummy. It seems that some unknown
parties took the clligy method OF showing
their contempt for tho Joint Representa-
tive, as a rlacard pinned to the bundle
read "Stitzel's Last Effort" Marshal
Hyde cut down the apparition, much to
the relief Of ncrFious people.
Fresh fuel was added to the mining craze
Thursday by the return Of a number Of
miners from the Cpurd'Alcnc mines, who
reported men had taken out $50 day.
5. H.. Hayes, Of Rathdrum, has purchased
the old town site Of Eagle City, and the
name Of the place has been changed to
Hayes City. The town is located ut the
junction Of Eagls and Prichard creeks.
The place already contains twenty-threc
houses and others arc being rapidly con-
structed. Hayes secured the property,
some thirty-cight acres, from Stratton &
Mcqueen. Charles Flanders and five COM
panIons took out 81 800 in gold dust from
their claim in six days. A good clean up.
People are almost daily made aware Of
the imperfect telegraph facilities on the
present line. One instance we know Of is
that Of party at Little Rock, Ark, tclc-
graphing very important message to
gentleman Of this city. The message was
sent and the way the person for whom it
was intended became acquainted with the
fact was through a letter inquiring II the
dispatch had been received. 1t came sail
ing along two days later. It is presumed
that this great annoyance, which has fire.
qucntly resulted in considerable loss, will
be eradicated in time, but il the company
has any accommodation about 1t il should
at once proceed to put up several addition
al lines.
The effort to cut road through from
Heron to the mines has so far proved a
failure. As parties are figuring on a toll
road over that route, this may account for
the milk i'm the cocoanut. We have been
reliably informed that good wagon road
could be cut to the mines from the Mission.
Would il not be well il our merchants and
those at Rathdrum combine and have the
road constructed ?>>If our people desire to
hold their prestige as the supply centerfor
the diggings they ought to make it appar-
ent by taking hold Of this matter. Do not
wait until it is too late. Spokane Falls can
reap great benefits from the mines il the
right spirit is shown. Now is the time to
strike, as it never paysto put off until next
summer that which can be done this fall.
An effort was made some months ago
to establish an immigrant house at this
place, but with fatal procrastination no
decided action has been taken in the pre-
misses. The report that such an establisb-
ment existed here has been spread broad
cast, and we know Of anumber Of families
that have come to the city expecting to
find one and have left disappointed and
disguised. There is yet time this fall to
construct n buildingOf the kind for imme-
