Robert Francis, one of the oldest
and best known residents of the Col
vile Valley, and genial and
clever gentleman, nan down to our
city Wednesday. Mr.. Francis
weighs about an hundred pounds in
the flesh, having served term with
typhoid fever, disease severe in its
nature and reducing in its effect, but
the merry COlvillian kicks the beam
at several tons taking him In the
spirit. He reports the outlook Of
Stevens county as never better than
at the present time. Already people
are coming in and taking up land
and 1t Is expected that emigration
will set In heavily during the pres
ent summer. The inducements to
settle in the COlville Valley are such
as will attract the moving human
who digs out from the older States.
The land is all tillable, the country
well watered, and crops are almost
certain. Besides the agricultural in
ducements, some Of THE most prOmis-
ing mineral lodges in the upper
country are situated in that section.
Now that the fever Of mining Is on
the people we expect to hear Of the
mountains north Of Spokane being
thoroughly prOspected during the
present year and will not be at all
surprised to learn Of the discovery
Of quartz Of great value. Already
several claims have been taken up
and one Of them on the very surface
has shown heavy yield of mineral
to the ton. With Its gold and silver
and farming lands, and timber in
terests there is every reason for the
people Of Stevens county to antici-
pate rapid growth this, season. We
are interested in the development of
the entire Territory, and are glad to
see this sign Of prosperity so con-
spicuOus in the neighbOrhoOd. May
Stevens county grow to be one OF
the leading counties In the future
State Of Washington.

Our good friend, Geo. NJ. Forster, than
whom there is not more clever gentleman

our public spirited citizens, has large prop
erty interests in the place and is in every
respect fully competent to fill the office
that he aspires to. The many friends Of
Mr.. F. will rally to his support both in
the convention and at the polls.

STILL ANOTHER HORRIBLE ACCI-
DENT.
Cremation of q. Young Man.

On Friday last Coroner Cloud received
information that man had been burned
to death in the woods near Elery. Upon
repairing to the place the Coroner found
that on the night before a young man,
named Squire C. Edwards, about 10 years
Of age, had been burned up, together with
his shsnty. In the " oods about q quarter
Of mile from Elery. "
1t was the intention OF young Edwards
and his brother TO chop wood In the vicin-
ity, and for that purpose had built q
shanty in the woods, which they had just
completed, and Thursday night was the
first time II was occupied, Squire occupy
ing the shanty alone. Friday morning
the brother visited the place ready to go
to work, and to his horror found moth
ing but the smouldering embers of the
shanty and the charred remains of his
brother among the ruins.
The body was horribly burned, and
nothing remained but the trunk. The
Coroner held an inqu est, and had DIR.
Maerker examine the body, who found no
wounds upon 1t, thus Exploding the report
that the young man had been murdered
and his shanty set on fire.
The shanty contained cook stove and
bunk, and it is surmised that fire was
communicated to the building from the
stove and young Edwards smothered
by smoke before he could awake and make
his escape.
The deceased WAS young man well
thought of, unmarried, and a son OF Mr.
Samuel Edwards, better known as the
Ohio Hunter. The accident cast deep
gloom over the community in the vicinity
of Elery.

ED. .NoRTHEsr:-Would it not be good
idea to give us poor girls the names of the
bachelors whom we are expected to make
happy this leap year, as some Of the To-
ledo papers are doing? BY giving a few
in your next issue, you will oblige a
whole bevy Of .. GIRLS.
So sorry, girls, but we cannot comply
with your request. Once upon time we
were numbered among the bachelor class,
therefore aware of the many snares and
temptations those poor creatures are sub
ject to during the days OF leap year. For
this reason our conscience forbids our Civ
ing list of names, but to not wholly dis
appoint "bevy of girls" we lay down a
few suggestions or rules which may be of
service in their crusade against the bach
elors, as follows:
Take heed and don't love too many at
once.
Don't spoon to excess, and above all,
don't do your spooning in public.
Should you be fortunate enough to hook
sucker, settle the getting up and max
ing the fire question first thing, it will re-
lieve embarrassment in the future.
When your victim family says the dear
word "yes, )" be careful how you smack him
upon the mouth, for fear you "smell a
MICE" and upset the pleasure.
Giveyour: brothers little Of the sweet
ness known as taffy, and hustle 'em off to
bed before the candidates call-you
know how.
Objection to tobacco should be stated in
time, or you must hold your tongues for
ever after. No reasonable man will give
up tobacco after marriage if he does not
agree to before the "happy ~ event."
Don't hesitate to use your best endeav-
ors to ascertain whether or not your in
tended can earn decent living for fam
lily of two. If he can, nail him on the
spot.
Don't expect man working for IS a
week to furnish You with reserved seats
at every show. He can't do it and be hon
est.
You must deal gently, oh, SO gently
with bashful lovers. Entice them grad
ually, gracefully and smillingly to the
given point. A bashful man is one of the
most miserable OF men, but he is generally
good all through when yor get acquainted
with him, and will do to tie to.
In selecting your victims have an eye
to pleasing your granfathers, their sisters
and their cousins and their aunts, for they
will not live always, and may leave you
enough dust to keep your leap-year hus-
band ever after in peace and plenty.
