ture of the market however, was the great activity

fOrating their fellOw-men. Such be-
ing the case, whenever a few outsid-
ers drop in and turn themselves loose
for a racket, the circumstance Is at
once noted, and the better class are
righteOusly indignant at the want Of
decOruma In sympathy with law
and order we entertain similar feel
lngs, and believe that punishment
should be mctcd to those who en-
gage in such debasing pastimcs. We
are informed that there was cOnsid-
cradle carousing on the part Of stran-
gers Sunday evening, among whom
the blue Of the army was conspic-
uous, and while no difficulty occur
red, some of the performances were
anything but respectable, the most
brazen incident being the disgusting
exhibition made by an abandoned
woman and a man more abandoned
still. While there was no actual
outbreak and rumpus, yet the dis
play Of dehauchcry was such as to
lead people to think that it would be
wise to submit to a heavy taxation
in order to employ and pay full
force of policemen to act in just such
uncommon emergencies.

The appearance of everything per-
tafhing to the further advancement
and continual growth of Spokane
Falls is far brighter to-day than at
anytime during the plst twelve
months. People have began to real.
ize that there is a permanency to the
city'that no trihing set back can or
will effect. SKcptics even, who
pOOh-hOohed at the possibility of this
gravel, bed, as they designated it,
ever amounting, to anything, open
their eyes in establishment and are
at last convinced that they erred in
Judgment. The flow of Il good, law
abiding, respectable class of immi-
grants continues steadily; the de-
mand for lotsi is good and values show
a healthy yet not exaggerated up
ward tendency laEorers have all the
work they can do at good wages {;
hardly a day passes but that the
foundation of some new building
more or less pretentious is laid; bust
ness is very good for this season Of
the year, and from the immense
quantity of goods arriving on every
train we are satisfied that our mer-
chants are doing better than well;
our banks are in a solid condition,
showing weekly increase Of deposi-
tors; men CheCrfully contribute to
every enterprise that will in any
manner tend to benefit the city; the
Indications are that this will be the
chief educational point north of San
Francisco; there are vague rumor5
Of new manufactures, which are
bound to come in the course Of time;
the land office will he located here on
the 1st of October, and to take in the
whole scope Of appearances we think
that the people have every reason to-
feel exceedingly good over the pros
poets, and we guess they do.

We do not believe that there is a
frontier town in existence, so remote
from the densely populated States,
that can boast of as orderly, law-abid-
ing and respectabEea q community as
that of Spokane Falls. Taken as a
whole, there is less drunkenness, less
rOwdyism, less immortality; here than
can be seen in even towns of the
same size in older settled sections.
Little or none Of that ruffianism
characteristic of border towns is TO
be seen, Elsewhere we hear of "bad
men," and rustlers," and "carv-
ers," and "dead Shots" but here the
laws are generally respected, and
"dying in their boots" is a mode of
exit from the world rarely known.
We do not pretend to say that every
single factor Of the 1900 souls who
find lodgment, raiment and proven
der within the corporate limits Of the
Falls are walking Illustrations of in
fallibility; neither do we wish to
convey the impression that sin abid-
eth not in this locality, but do reit-
crate what has been hereinbefore
mentioned, that the city is happily
free Of that class Of men who find Joy

j. l.. B0ylGy. who has the contract
for building the Post street bridge,
evidently understands his business,
judging from the way he is starting
in, and is determined to complete
the job on time. Before any work
could be done on the bridge proper,
it became necessary to remove vast
quantity Of earth and gravel from
the bank on this side, in order to
plant the end Of the bridge on bed
rock. To have done this by the usu-
al process would have required a
score of men and a dozen or more
teams, and then it would have taken
Il week to have handled the dirt.
Instead of following the customary
slow plan, Mr. Bayley built box
tlume connecting with the race that
furnishes the power for Posts mill
and, turning on the water, washed
away the ground in day. The waf
ter process worked like a charmb
tearing off and hurling over the pre-
CiPitous bank a mass of soil, gravel
and stone, doing the work even bet
ter than 1t could have been done by
men. The excavation is several feet
below the grade of the road, 50 that
the approaches to the bridge will be
on an incline. The natural form2-
tion of the shores will give solid
abutments for the bridge to rest up
on, the north side being similar to
that of the south, but as the water is
not SO handy, some more tedious
method OF excavation will be re-
quired. The contractor proposes to
push the work forward as rapidly as
the nature Of the job will permit, and
it is evident from the looks of things
that the bridge will be ready for use
by the flr-t Of October.

Last week we had occasion to refer
in a kind Of pointed manner to an
article in the Portland OregOEiaH,
written by one Payne, from Medical
Lake. In that production Payne
had the audacity to say that the
crops in Eastern Washington were
almost a total failure. That the par
ty knows not of what he writes we
have only to quote the reports
brought to US every week from bona
tide farmers, men who would hesi-
tate long before they would eXagger-
ate the extent of the crops, to prove.
We do not pretend to say that the
yield will be enormous, or that the
harvest will be rich in its plentitude,
but, all things considered, it is far
better than could have been hoped
for, and of such an extent as to sat
isfy the majority of farmers, Il class
Of hard working, energetic people
whom it is not always the easiest to
please. Morris r. Newman, a gram
ger who tills the soil on Moran prai-
rie, and has had considerable expert
ence at the same, informed Us Mon
day that the yield in his part of the
country was very fair indeed, or bet
ter than he had expected. Wheat
and oats were turning out well, the
latter in particular. We consider this
season to be of the greatest advantage
to the territory, as it shows what the
soil will produce under the most un-
favorable circumstances. 1t shows
that if the agriCulturist will take the
necessary care in preparing the soil
and planting, good crops can be
grown, no matter how dry it may
be. AS Mr.. Newman stated, there is
no portion Of the Union that would
produce One-half the crop that has
been raised in Washington territory
with a similar drOuth to contend
against. While Of course it is to be
regretted that meteorological condi-
tiOns have worked so great an injury
to the harvest of the season of 1888,
yet it will establish a confidence in
the stability and possibilities of the
country that will insure its popular
ity throughout the world.

Our readers will notice an item
elsewhere wherein we protest against
extending the freedom Of the city to
a class of individuals whose presence
is always the source Of more or less
unpleasantness. We have learned
since writing thusly, that the boOsy
and exuberant visitors were pounced
upon by Marshal Hyde and Night
Watchman KollhOff and made to feel
the majesty Of the law as interpreted
by civil officers. 1t seems that II
party of soldiers travelling from
CGur d'Alene to Fort Spokane stop
ped over in the city Sunday, many
Of whom made it a point to take adj
vantage of the brief relaxation from
the rigid dlsCiplinO-nf the service to
fill up, run over and make disgusting
exhibitions of themselves. The two
officers became cognizant of the state
Of affairs by the noise created by the
excited warriors, and at last catching
two of them carrying their CarOusal
n little further than their cOmpan-
ions, laid violent hands upon them.
The guardians Of the peace found
the arrest a pretty healthy contract,
as the men made Il stout protest
against the interference of civil
authority, and hung back like balky
mules. The miniOns of the law
were determined that their power
should be understood, and the mar
shal and night watchman literally
dragged the offenders to the town
cooler, where they We're permitted
to occupy compartments for the
night. As they were found to be
dead broke in the morning, and
promising to Immediately skip the
precincts Of the city, Marshal Hyde
permitted them to wander forth free
men. The lesson should be a salu-
tary one, and teach all manner of
men that the disgrace of confinement
is the sure reward for conduct unbe-
coming the rules of decent behavior.
SPOKANE FALLS REvIEw.-The
great Northwest is rapidly dispelling
the idea that it is still the frontier
settlement. The projected railroads
nearing completion in that quarter
has begotten a spirit of emulation
among its citizens that antagoniZe
old ideas, and the result is that
swarms Of humanity from the bee
hives of the East and Europe are
pouring into this new El Dorado.
If we were inclined to be envious,
we should regard with some jealousy
this state of things, especially as its
tendency is to draw from among us
that element that we look to largely
to further our own progress. Among
those who have caught up the en-
.thusiasm in this quarter is our friend,
Frank NJ. Dallam, formerly of Hay
wards, Cal, where his success in a
like enterprise was only limited by
the possible, and that attained, he
longed for limitless field-and we
think he has found it at last. A
thorough printer, in ever detail,
welding a ready pen, with that in
terest and application that is only
limited by human endurance, and
genial and social withal, we feel as
sured the REVIEW will make its
mark, if the community is at all ap-
preciative of genuine worth. We
wish you much success, Frank-un-
selfshly-though we know that the
typographical appearance Of your pa
permust speak volumes to our praise,
who are its manufacturers.-Itilter
