What Weakens the Republican Hold

s.. Louis HepubIlcan iUtLn.I
The Republican policy is not fairly pre-
scented in their platform, but it can be ex,
torted from them by sharp and rigorous
canvass. Every discussion of the tariff
weakens the Republican hold on the peo-
pie of Illinois, and there are good reasons
for believing that two earnest and able
Democrats like VIM. R Morrison and
Frank Hurd (of Ohio could, if they set
about it, carry the State for the Demo
cratic Presidential ticket.

Now that spring has fairly set in,
with an Occasioned dab from retiring
writer given for the purpose of warm.
ing us against an -Oxuberanpy- r..
ferescing hilarity over the highUhess
of things terrestrial as well as celestial,
some idea may be formed Qfthe out
look for Eastern Washington. We
consider that the season of 1884 holds
out better promise for the terrific
ry than any previous year, and may
possibly be the most prosperous for
all time to come. There are to-day
thousands Of people in the east, from
the bay-fringed shores of Maine to
the grasshoppers-courged plains Of
Kansas, and from the cold, comfort
less region of Minnesota to the gulf
states, looking with longing eyes
toward the northwest with the
single aim in view to take up a home
in the young territory at the north
west extremity of the United Stat, s,
Of whi,h they have heard so much,
and there build up q property that
may pass through the hands Of Gu-
ture generations. Not only has the
knowledge of the existence Of IL
cOuntry7Of equitable climate and rich
soil awakened this desire to try the
smiles of fortune in the great west,
but the recent discovery of precious
metals in this section has had still
greater tendency to hasten an immi-
grafton that will rapidly fill up the
territory. Already hundreds OF peU-
pie are on their way to this country;
and this travel is bound to keep on
increasing until late in the summer.
The country is undevelOped. Its
possibilities are actually unknown.
The country is capable of supporting
dense population. The soil has
never been thoroughly tested only
by a limited extent and that in only
certain localities. Its mineral re-
sources are yet undeveloped. Its
numbering Interests are yet in their
infancy, while the extent of its tim
Der resources is unlimited. There l.
room enough for all who may come.
The filling up of the country will be
Of great benefit to the towns and
cities. "GOd made the country, men
make the towns" and the influx OF
population will result in developing
| the resources Of the country and
building up the towns. Every city,
town and village in Eastern Wash
ingtOn will feel the influence Of the
emigration of 1884, and there is not
one of them that will not be bene.
fited when the balance Is struck of
at the end Of the year We are glad
to see the indication of prosperity
and progress and hope that every
one locating in the territory will find
it an advantageous investment.

z. S.-EDITOR REVIEW ;-Having just
received message from Eagle City, can
say that prices are advancing every day
and the number Of transfers per day are
very great, the people now have the ut
most confidence in the future Of the camp,
, 1884-03-29

Ed. Wright has just returned from
that live and wild mining camp,
Eagle City. He reports the grow
ing city as the scene Of the most
wonderful energy. People are flock
ing into the place and living stream
Of humanity blocks the trails. 1t is
a naughty city, as is the rule in all
new mining camps, and yet so far
the best of order has prevailed.
Houses are springing up like magic.
Whole blocks Of buildings, rude
though they be, are under way.
Real estate is undergoing rapid in
fiations and speculation is a business
largely INDUCED in. He saw many
amusing sights on his way out. He
counted no less than 239 toboggans
going in loaded with every imagina-
bic article that could be made sale
able. These rigs we're a source Of a
great deal ofamusement to Ed. One
large one was drawn by the head Of
Il family assisted by his ten-year-old
son, while the maternal parentpush-
ed behind. Thesle was loaded with
a miscellaneous assortment of house
hold goods, and we might add gods,
as several infants that had not reach
ed the stage Of pedal progression
were scattered among the chattels
and stuffed in with the careful aim
of preventing their falling over some
convenient precipice. People are
wild in their anxiety to reach the
mines. Without any ditiinite aim
and in many cases without means
men crowd forward, leaving the fu-
ture to chance. Mr.. Wright's report
is reiterated by others arriving from
the camp every day. Every train
from the east or west brings large
detachments Of recruits to the ranks
Of the army Of prospectors pushing
into,e the diggings. As the season
advances this travel increases, and
the hundreds on the trails will soon
be increased to thousands. 1t is he
yond the power of man to calculate
the number Of people that will be in
the mines two months hence, and
it is evident that the present excite
ment will surpass in magnitude any
mining craze in the mast history of
America, or any other country.

While the big bands Of men flock
toward the eastward in the thirst
for gold the lesser crowds, and per-
haps the wisest, strike westward and
northward in search Of farms. The
desire to secure land seems TO be
greater than ever, which may be ac-
counted for from the fact that the
quantity as well as quality in the
gift Of the government is growing
smaller by degrees and beautifully
less. 1t therefore behOOves those de-
string to exercise their rights tOS eX-
ercise them pretty quick or they will
be left out in the cold on the prop
erty question, unless they have the
means to buy out some more active
human creature. Several parties
started out for the Big Bend this
week, and in truth parties are being
made up almost every, day for the
same section. 1t may he fact that
the Bend may he fine region Of ag-
ricultural land, but it would have to
be as large as several territories to
contain a sufficient amount Of real
estate to furnish 100 acres to each one
Of those anticipating trip to that
region. If the same flow of populi-
ton keeps ON during the next three
months the Big Bend, heretofore
little known rs to its producing ca
pacity, will be thickly settled and
the land thoroughly tested. A few
years hen e will see the whole coun-
try west of us, now almost uninhab-
tied, crowded with farmes, farm
houses and farmers. Eastern Wash
ington is being developed with won
derful rapidity. Thousands Of east
ern people look toward the west with
longing eyes, and for the next few
years the great weight of emigra-
tion will he pouring toward tris
favored land. We are finding no
fault, and hope the new cOmers will
never have occasion to regret lOcd-
ting in our territory.

To-day the first steamboat ven
ture on Lake COeur d'Alene for the
purpose of conveying goods and
passengers to the mines will make
the effort to get up the river. The
steamer is known as the Nugget"
run as the "People's Line" and was
built during the winter by IL. Ward
Dart of this place and J. w. Nc
Candless of Rockford. The steamer
is a little beauty Of 25 tons burden
and has been constructed with the
chief aim Of navigating shoal water.
The regular trips will be made every
other day, sailing from Rockford
landing and running to the drift, II
large impediment to navigation that
has accumulated in the river five
miles below Eagle City. With this
opening of lake travel which will
Immediately be followed by the
steamers from GPur PAlene City,
will give those bodhd for the mines
an easy method Of reaching the new
FL Dorado. In fact we believe that
when lake navigation opens in ear
nest, which may be look for next
week. Spokane Falls will be the
only route Travelled to the mines, as
we will have stages running daily to
make close connections with boats,
and it does away with the long, ar
dous and dangerous overland trip
from the other sO-called trails into
the district from other points on the
Northern Pacific. We congratulate
our young friend, Mr.. Dart, on the
promised success Of his venture, be-
cause we believe that he will find
all, aud more, than he can do carry
ing freight and passengers. He
does not restrict himself solely to
Rockford landing, but will touch at
any point on the Lake where bust
ness will justify him in landing.
The Nugget" is bound to bring
many nuggets to the pockets of the
owners. A richly-earned reward for
enterprise and general get-upitivc-
ness.

The choir, under the direction Of
DR.. Penfeld, rendered some choice
selections, which were well received.
An able address was delivered by
Bro. o. +. Weed, which was listened
to with marked attention. Ad-
dresses were also make by Grand
Master Ankeny, w. NJ. Louis Zieg-
Ter, Bros. Fairweather, Andrews,
Forster, Hoover, Anderson, Jones,
Webster, Booge, Brooks, Bradshaw,
Lewis and others, interspersed with
selections by the choir, after which,
upon the retirement of the Grand

thanks to Or. and Mrs. Penfield, Mrs.
Webster, Miss ZiegIer and Mr.. Bean
for the very able manner in which
they rendered the musical portion
of the exercises, which added great
| ly to the occasion. I
1t was an occasion long to be re-
membered by those who witnessed
the proceedings, and we trust they
"gained pleasure and the craft profit
thereby"

AMI the supply of laborers does not
equal the demand. New arrivals
are on the streets every day, looking
for locations and preparing to build.
1t is the very pinnacle of prosperity,
and gives forth Il apromise of large
ness and importance that is very
cheering to the people. 1t shows
that Spokane has the upper grip over
the balance Of the places in Eastern
Washington, and that If no calamity
Overtakes it during the early days
Of its onward progress; the city will
hold the leading place in the ranks
of the cities Of the northwest before
Il great many years.

Mr.. Strobach, Land Agent, who
makes it a business to keep posted
in matters of the kind, informs us
that the practice Of the General Land
office allowing parties making a
homestead or timber culture entry
creditor the fee and commissions
paid by them ON a cancelled entry,
cancelled for conflict or because err
roneously allowed), is discontinued.
The Commissioner of the General
Land Office has issued instructions
to the local offices to the effect that,
hereafter, the fees and commissions
paid on such entries will be repaid
to the proper parties upon application
under the act Of Congress, approved
