We doubt if there be another city
In the Union Of the size and age Of
Spokane Falls that IS as free from
taxation. Municipal taxation is a
necessary impoSt upon community,
and most towns and cities not only
impose 6nerous taxes upon their
citizens, but from cNtravagant eX-
penditures Of public moneys have
heavy debts hanging over them, the
interest of which is one of the larg-
est items Of the years expenditures.
In this city the people have never
since the first year Of incorporation
been directly taxed, and no indebt-
edness has been incurred, thanks to
the careful manner IN which the re-
cCipts have been appropriated. AT.
Il recent meeting of the City Council
ii was decided that no tax should be
levied this year. This will be
piece Of good news to the public, and
will surprise those at a distance.
The authorities are to depend entire
ly upon licenses, fines, etc, for
means to run the government
through the year. This is highly
creditable to the place, and shows
that the disbursement of funds has
been conducted Judiciously. When
it is considered that the city is new,
and many internal improvements
are absolutely necessary, that streets
must be kept in repair, sprinkled
and cleaned, a force of four or FIVE
officers paid and many other bills
met, it is really astonishing that
place Of 5000 or 1900 inhabitants can
be run without Il tax levy. Such
careful management Of public affairs
is another attraction for the eastern
man who comes west to find a home,
and tends to add fresh importance
to the Gem City of the Northwest.
Here is offered to the stranger a
home in a beautiful city, proverbial
for its healthfulness, climate unex-
celled, noted for the refinement and
intelligence Of its people, active in
its growth yet remarkably orderly,
with the very best Of educational
facilities, almost every church de-
nomination represented, and free
from taxation. With such attrac-
tiOns it is not to be wondered at that
Spokane Falls has now a name and
fame all over the broad land, that its
growth is and has been phenOminal,
and that it is to-day almost the only
place west of the mountains not
by "hard times"

Twice within five ,lays Spokane
Falls has had very narrow escapes
from devastating contlagrations
The first instance was the explosion
of coal oil lamp in one of the rear
rooms Of the Senate saloon. In an
instant the room was a sea Of fire,
but by the superhuman and daring
eXertiOns of few the flames were
extinguished before any great dam
age was done. Had the fire once
taken hold it is impossible to imag-
inc the loss that>would have ensued.
The Senate is situated in the midst
of a nest Of frame buildings. With
out single appliance for fighting
fire the flames would have spread in
every direction. With an engine
the fire might be confined to a few
wooden buildings but without such
protection Burch's and GlOvers
magnificent blocks would have sue
cumbed and there is no telling
where the destruction would have
ended. Monday night two frame
buildings fell a sacrifice to the coal
oil fiend. The city was again mirac-
ulously fortunate. Fortunate in the
first place that the buildings were
isolated, and especially fortunate in
the fact that no wind was blowing.
Had there been the slightest breeze
from the cast the fire would have
guttcd the centre Of the city. With
no organized system, without water,
without apparatus Spokane Falls
stands in momentary danger Of ruin.
Will it require Il frightful lesson to
awaken our people to realize their
condition and induce them to take
steps for the organization, equip
mcnt and maintenance Of fire de-
partment

Trouble.

Bret IIartc hit the nail on the Cen-
tire of the Uranium when his wit
flashed out the lines "for ways that
are dark and tricks that are vain the
heather Chinee is peculiar" No
one will doubt that in a nation as.
numerous as that Of China there
must be some good Celestials, still it
is a question OF considerable doubt
whether any of that kind ever found
their way across the big fluid. BY
constant exhibitions of weakness
to stray from the narrow road Of
righteousness IL has become natural
to doubt the honesty of the race, and
to be as slippery as Chinaman has
become more fabricated cOmpar-
isOn than the old one In which the
eel held the front place. Saturday
last one Of the representatives Of the
FlOwery Kingdom fell into a bad
scrape through his propensity f r
holding on to that belonging to an
other. He was filling the respons-
ible position Of general utility man
in house Of soiled reputation in
the city, and passing through n
hall picked up n pocket book con-
tanning Sll5 and the property Of one
Of the inmates. The girl informed
John Of the loss, and the pcnsive
mild-eyed child Of destiny and Ge-
ceit looked as sad as hospital pa
tient and poured forth his sympathy
in pigeon English and a cunning ap-
pearancc Of sadness. He afterwards
hied himself to the gaming houses
OfGhinatown andithare reveled in
tan until he had lost the bulk Of his
ill-gotten lucre. Probably thinking
it n joke the Chinaman told another
frail female of the proceedings. The
girl informed the Marshal and at Il e
request Of the female John repeated
the story, ignorant Of the fact that
an officer was secreted near by to
Overhear the confession. He was at
once arrested, but as the multitud-
inous cousins of the prisoner made
up purse equal to the sum cohfis-
Gated, and the woman who lost'tho
money not desiring to appear against
the criminal he escaped punishment,
though not until he sufiere a fright
that may p'Ovc a salItary lesson.
