There is a rumOr that a company

Falls know anything about it, or is
it all shoddy? However, shoddy or
no shoddy, the railroad company
that does that thing is the one tina

Hanging at COIVIIIe.

The Indian Theodore who mur-
dered Francois, another Indian, was
hung by his tribe, the COlvilles, last
Sunday about sunset. This murder
was committed last June and the
Murderer has been at large ever
since. Following the arrest Of
Michel and Winnum-smOol-mool the
agent (Waters) demanded the mur-
derer from COtOlyo, chief of the Col
villes. The Indians brought him in
to camp, near the Catholic Mission,
and sent for Agent Waters. Being
incensed at a fresh crime committed
(rape) they convened a council and
decided that he must die. Before
their agent arrived, howeve, the In
dians called One of the Fathers Of
the Missio4 who administered the
last rites for thecOndemned man and
as the sun went down they hung
him decently. 1t is the intention of
Agent Waters to punish Indians who
commit crime and protect and aid
the Indians in their efforts to become
good men, and to this end he has
been hard at work ever since he as
sumed charge of affairs at the agen-
cy, to ferret out these criminals.

or all the passions there is hardly
one that wields such an influence
over the human mind as jealousy.
As the king Of poets has said, 1t is a
"green-eyed monster" ungoverna-
bic, unreasonable, blindly uncontrol-
able. 1t will waken the devil in the
possessor, and prompt him to halt at
no crime. 1t will change the COM
plete nature ofthe one suffering from
the attack. No one is entirely ex-
empt from the disease, and while
some may have passed through life
without n symptom, 1t is because
that peculiar passion has never been
directly touched. Jealousy is not
confined to one particular object. In
thousand ways man may have his
jealousy aroused and sent up to a
fever heat, but Of all the causes that
work this passion there is none so
downright contemplate, little and
demeaning as to exhibit jealousy of
a neighbOr, as an individual, or a
neighbOr in the shape of a town or
city. We have seen more Of this
during our residence in this city than
at any other timd during our life.
The people living in adjacent towns
are almost blinded with the bitter
jealousy they entertain toward Spo-
kane Falls. Every nail that is driven
here vibrates with pain through the
systems Of these envious neighbors,
and it is one sweet satisfaction that
they are kept on the rack every sec
ond of the, day and every day of the
year. They feel aggrieved to sec the
prosperity that is so conspicuous
throughout this city. Warped and
gnarled by the expressions Of their
supporters the papers Of these mis-
guided communities attempt to cur
ry favor at home by senselessly echo
ihg the sentiments expressed around
the grocery stove, thereby lowering
themselves in the estimation Of fair
minded, unprejudiced strangers and
giving additional publicity to a place
they are anxious to keep IN obscur-
ity. Undaunted by the knowledge
that what they are saying is as de-
void Of truth as lead iso luster, they
permit a silly malice to crowd out
the atom Of common sense they pos
sess when in a normal condition and
manufacture a column or two Of ma
licious maledictiOns against a city
that goes ahead in spite Of opposl-
tion, ana smiles derisively, so 20
speak, at the sickly efforts Of would
be rivals

ing before Justice John Oakley. The
case was decided out of his jurisdic-
ton and remanded to a higher court.
The defendant was released but in
two hours was re-arrested on the
same charge in little different form,
byJ. c. Bowen, who preferred the
charge, his father having seen the
prisoner destroying fence on the farm
Of ]. G. Bowen. Ezra Scavill, the
party committing the ofiense, has
been doing the same thing at inter
walls all winter and has cut down
over forty trees on a railroad quarter
which Bowen had recently bought.
He has lived on the land over forty
days after having a written order
both from Bowen and the railroad
company.
Spring is opening beautifully.
Farmers are beginning to, turn over

of horses, cows and sheep has been

i've remedy against this kind Of loss.

WASHINGTON REPUBLICANS.

The Republican Territorial Central
Committee held IA meeting at Van
couver last Friday, and decided to
hold a convention at Dayton at
o'clock P. NJ, Thursday, May lst, for
the purpose of electing two delegates
and two alternates to the Republican
National Convention to be held at
Chicago next June.
The basis Of representation is one
delegate at large for each county in
the Territory, and one additional for
every 200, and one additional for
every fraction Of 100 or more Repub-
lican votes cast in each county at the
general election Of 1882 for delegate
to Congress.
Upon this basis the several coun-
ties of the Territory will be entitled
to representation in said convention
as follows:

saw-mili IN to Timber Mountains
last October and during the winter
cut about 100000 feet 6f logs which
they are now turning into lumber
at the rate Of eight or nine thousand
feet per day. They also have shin
gle mill in operation and contem-
plate putting in a planning mill
shortly.
1t is estimated that 800 emigrants
have already found homes this spring
within the expansive prairie fields
of the Big Bend, and still they come
daily, as the tide has scarcely COM
menced. No railroad grants inter-
fere with the density Of pOpulatiOny
and as the lands in this part of Doug
las county can only be held by the
actual squatter, 1t is quite probable
that this great agricultural country,
with a soil equal to Walla Wa val
ley, will soon becOmeOne Of the ffN-sG
tpOpulous agricultural districts in the
Territory. The great Columbia river
washes the west shore OF Douglas
county in a semicircular direction
for over one hundred miles, and this
astounding fact alone insures the
future for the Big Bend country, as
it gives us a natural outlet to the
ocean with the exception of a few
short pOrtages. 1t is to be hoped that
our next legislature will rise to the
acme Of prompt action in the shape
Of a memorial to Congress for an aP-
preparation for the improvement and
deepening Of the channel at Priest
Rapids. Lieut.. Seymonds endorsed
the proposed navigation Of the COL
umbia in his reports to the general
government. Let us have an outlet
by way Of the Columbia river to the
ocean; aye, and give us n direct rail-
road from the Sound TO Spokane
Falls and the Big Bend shall prove
itself second to no part of Washing
ton in all that makes up hrawny men
and solid agricultural prosperity. a
railroad is imperative before the in
terror of the Big Bend can be fully
developed, because the scarcity Of
fuel and lumber will retard settle
ment materially.
Messrs. Cummings & Co. hope at
an early day to extend their tri-'
weekly stage line beyond Okanogan
so as to make gdirect stage line from
Yakima connecting with steamers or
the Columbia and the railroad at
Spokane Falls. At Wilson creek we
had an opportunity to see twenty
two horses of the new stage line
which, Messrs. Cummings 4 Co. pro-
pose to use for conveying passengers
from OkanOgan to Spokane Falls in
three days time. We came in in
four days on the first trip, though we
lay over eight hours on account Of
the incipient condition of the ar
rangements on the new stage line,
but couple of weeks will set every
thing in smooth order for the transit
Of all who desire to view the beauty
and fertility of this last paradise of
bunch grass, set in the picturesque
framework that nature has wrought
the Cascade mountains in the rear.

MAYORS REPORT.

To The Honorable Council Of the city
Of Spokane Falls, ". T.:
GENTLEMEN: I'm accordance with
the provisions Of that Charter regu-
lating the actions Of this Board, and
following Il custom of my predeces-
sors, l have, the honor to submit to
your examination and approval a
financial statement Of the monetary
condition Of this city. 1t gives me
pleasure, gentlemen, to say in con-
junction with the presentation Of this
report, that the city is In a healthy,
solvent condition. One year ago,
when the will Of the people called
me to the mayOralty, the city had a
debt Of some 81, 100 hanging over It.
To-day there is a balance in the
hands Of the Treasurer Of 1918, in
Guiding the road tax Of the corpora
tion, with no outstanding warrants.
This flattering exhibit, considering
that no tax levy has been made, and
the receipts accruing entirely from
fines and licenses, deem a very
creditable one.
The past year has been one Of re-
markable growth for our city, and
an exceedingly prosperous one for
our people, and every indication
points to still greater and more
wonderful development for the year
1884. Surrounded as we are by rich
and extensive agricultural, mineral
and numbering resources, happy in
the possession of a water power that
surprises every stranger, in the path
way of the most stupendous tide Of
immigration, the front of which Is
now upon us, ever known in the his
tory Of the country, proud in the
knowledge of having the most pro-
gressive city, modest though its size
may now be, on the Pacific coast,
there is no reason why the people Of
Spokane Falls should not feel cheer
full and cOntented, nor is it presump-
tuOus in me to promise future great
and glorious, the dawnlng brightness
Of which is upon US. That the city
shall continue on its progressive way
and its public improvement keep
step with the general growth, de-
pends in a measure upon the wisdom
of your deliberations as local law
makers. / feel confident that each
and every one Of you gentlemen
stands ready to enter heart and soul
into this good work. l believe that
the labors Of this body will be con-
Quoted harmoniOusly, and Bcheer-
fully state that am ready and eager
to cooperate with you in any project
that has for its object the further im-
provement Of our common home. l
am satisfied that the voters Of SpO-
kane Falls have shown excellent
judgment in selecting you as guard
ians Of their homes and property,
and that at the end Of the year you

the New.
Cutting Out Considerable work on the
start.

Monday was the date for the regu-
lar monthly meeting Of the City
Council, made more than usually IN
teresting by the retirement of the
old members and the administration
Of the oath of office to the officers
elect. All Of the new members were
present at an early hour but 1t was
some time before sufficient number
Of the old Board turned up to con-
stitute a quorum The pnOceedinS
did not attract much attention, per-
haps, on account of the condensed
quarters where the meeting was
held, and only two or three Outsid-
ers were present. The oath of Office
was read, and the following gentle
men attached their names thereto :
Jas. n. Glover, Mayor; S. q. Haver-
male. r. w. Forrest, A. NJ. Cannon,
p. Deuber,. Geo. T. Crane, ]. N.

Councilmen; f. B. Hyde, Marshal ;
Chas. Crellin, Clerk NJ. T. Harrison,
City Attorney. II c. Hayward,
Treasurer-elect, beng the only alb
sentee.
The old Board was called TO order
and the minutes of the last meeting
read and approved with few trifling
alterations.
On motion Of DIR. Candy the old
Board adjourned sine die.
The new Council was called to or
der.
Mr.. Forrest stated that in order to
determine which members were to
hold over it was necessary to decide
by lot and moved that the Mayor
should decide in what manner This
drawing should take place. The
motion prevailed.
The Mayor suggested that two
strips Of paper, one containing the
words "Short tcrm," and the other
"LOng term" be put in II hat and
one member from each ward to draw
out slip, and the paper 50 drawn
would designate his term of office.
The Marshall prepared the lot and as
the drawing took place the result
was announced as follows: First
Ward-R. w. Forrest, long term /;
$. G. Havermale, short term. Sec
Ond Ward-W. l.. Turner, short
term p. Deuber, long term. Third

The bonds Of the several officials
required to give security were read
in blank and the bonds placed at the
following sums: Treasurer, $500 /;
Marshal, $1,000; Mayor, $1,000
The Clerk proceeded to read the

vii leave record that will win the
admiration and commentator of
the public.
/ would earnestly call your atten-
tioh to few of the most important
pnatters, in my judgment, affecting
lhe city's interest at the present
time, and I would suggest that you
give the matters your earliest con-
slderation:
{ First-The establishment of atleast
g partial system of sewerage, along
the principal streets. We boast of
the healthfulness of our city, and it
ias become apparent that in order to
keep good that reputation some pro-
visions must be made for drainage.
Second-The purchasing Of lot
and the building Of a safe and relia-
ba ,ail. At present the city Is with
on a place I'm 'wiiich criminals can
be confined with any hopes Of keep
ing them over night. These inn
pDvements will necessarily require
a small tax levy, to which no prop
ery owner can object.
Hoping that our relations may be
Of the most pleasant character, and
having full confidence in your integ-
rity, honesty of purpose and wisdom,
look forward with many hopes to a
careful, judicious and credltable adj
ministration of city affairs through
out your deliberations during the
next twelve months.
JAMES N. GLOVER, Mayor.
Mr.. Berg moved that the message
should be spread upon the minutes,
Mr.. Havermale amended by mOv-
ing that the message he also pub
lished in the city papers. Mr.. Berg
accepted the amendment and ii was
so ordered.
A petition from r. Levy asking
the privilege of erecting a fruit stand
on the sidewalk was read.
The Mayor proceeded to relate the
conduct of the man Levy in regard
To running up a peanut stand on
Howard street.
On motion the petition was laid on
the table.
A petition asking for the abate-
mpnt of n sewer from the California
House was read.
Mr.. Havermale mentioned the
fact that he had his attention daily
called to the condition Of this sewer
by the filth discharged therefrom.
Considerable discussion ensued
over the subject, all Of the members
fayoring n rigid law prohibiting the
discharge Of filth in the river above
the falls. Mr.. Berg made motion
that all sewerage within the city
should he run into the river below
the falls, and it not being seconded
Mr.. Cannon moved that the City At
tOrney be instructed to draw up an
ordinance in reference to sewerage,
and the disposition of garbage and
dead animals.
An ordinance regulating the num-
Der Of police, one on licenses, and
one on providing for filling vacan-
cies were read and thoroughly dis
cussed. A motion prevailed that
the ordinances be numbered and cod
flied. A committee, consisting Of
Cannon, Havermale and Squier, was
appointed to secure a room to meet
in. A committee, consisting Of
Crane, Forrest and the City Attor-
ney, was appointed to draw up rules
of procedure for the Board.
