Speculation over the sudden de-
parturc of \. NJ. Cannon and J. J.
Browne for the east runs rife in the
city, and the question is constantly
asked, "Whats in the wind ," Not
but that these gentlemen, who arc
old and representative citizens, have
perfect right to pack their grip
sacks and 90 hence singTy or together
wherever they wish. but at
this time. when rumors are current
Of certain great and startling bene-
ficiary additions to the place, a move
ment of the kind is looked upon as
the prelude to something that is to
aid the Falls. We.are at sea oursclf
and not able to respond to the query.
Mr.. Cannon had a rendezvous with
, 1884-01-26


In order that local industries can
be made to thrive it is proper and
right that they should be aided and
encouraged. We do not mean that
such institutions are subjects for
charity, but when men put their
money in manufactures they should
receive the patronage Of the public,
especially when they are able to pro-
duce a grade of goods superior to the
same article purchased abroad and
can sell it as cheap. These remarks
are called forth in defence Of the
Echo Touring mill of this place. We
claim that to-day the Echo mill is
producing better quality Of flour
than any mill in Washington or Ore
gon, and we challenge a test and ac-
companying denial. We except no
mill, and are willing to leave it to
the decision of acknowledged judges
Of what constitutes good -four. Such
being the case, it is but an act Of
justice that our people should buy
no other flour, unless they want to
make paste or use the dust of the
wheat for other purposes than fam
lily consumption. When the house
wives of our city and the surround
ing country once use the Echo mills
flour they will have no other, and a
single test will prove to them the ex-
cellency of the product. Then mer-
chants will learn that they cannot
find a sale for flour other than the
Spokane brands.

We understand that the members
Of the Baptist church are making ar
rangements to give a grand musicale
on the evening of Tuesday, Febru-
ary 18th, which promises to eclipse
anything in the way of concerts ever
given in this city. The programme
Of exercises has not yet been COM
pleted, but from what we can learn
we are in apositlon to promise some
thing of more than ordinary merit.
There will be vocal and instrumental
music and other literary features that
together will make up very enjoy
able evenings entertainment. Mrs.
JnO. i. Wilson, lady of exquisite
vocal accomplishments, and Mr.. and
Mrs. L. J. FellOwes, both talented
singers, have kindly consented to
take part, while Mrs. Geo. Brandt,
too well known as a thorough musi-
clan for us to introduce, will also
participate. Besides these mem
toned, a number of other ladies and
gentlemen will lend their aid to
make the affair a success, The en-
tertainment will take place in the
new Opera House.

w. J.. Turner, the prosperous
young gentleman who has the good
fortune to he the proprietor and
manipulation of the City Drug Store,
has made a change in his location.
While the move has not been Il great
one, considering it in the shape ol
distance, yet the improvement in
the surroundings is of such a marked
description that the eXertion Of
transferring his stock from one store
room to another can be set down as
one of the wisest transactions that
he has ever engaged in. Heretofore
Mr.. Turner has occupied quarters in
the frame building next to Wilson
& Turner'S meat market. As long
as the demands of the trade only re-
quired comparatively small guam
tity Of drugs, oils, paints, etc, that
he carries in stock, the dimensions
of the quarters were sufficient for all
commercial purposes, but as the city
grew, and the requirements of the
place called for Il more abundant
supply and a greater variety Of those
things in his line, it became apparent
that Il little more elbow room would
be conducive to building up Il larger
trade. The fact is in the old place
boxes, bales and packages became so
numerous, and the room 50 COM
pletely stuffed that if Mr.. Turner
had not been lucky in not having
superfluity of size, it would have
been almost impossible for him to
move about in the store with any de-
gree of comfort. After barking of
Il great deal of flesh that he could
not well spare, Mr.. Turner cOncludg d
that the time had come for taking
possession of a larger store. To
think with him is to act, and the re-
suit of his cOgitatiOns was a move
into GlOver's Block, in the room for
mcrly occupied by II. J. Brown q
Co. There he is now pleasantly sit
uated, and has as neat an establish
mcnt as can be found anywhere.
We congratulate the gentleman up
on securing such admirable quarters,
and hope the move will rebound to
his financial benefit.

We are informed that it is the in
tentiOn Of the railroad authorities to
make a sweeping change in the de-
pot buildings at this place next
month. The company have at last
recognized the fact that spokane
Falls is the most important station
on the line Of the road and propose
to give thr travelling public a little
benefit. While tie present building
has quite promising appearance, is
far as it looks from a distance, yet
like outside show rs a rule the inte-
riOr does not carry out the exterior
promise. The waiting rOonl is
crlmped and small, the office is not
large enough to move around i'm and
Il general lack Of room prcvades
the premises. 1t is proposed to put
up Il new depot in connection with
the one in use, giving the Falls a
building that will be a credit to the
compar y. We are not p, p red to
state figures and show the exact
dimensions of the projected inn
prOvement, but are.at liberty to say
that it will be in keeping with the
size of the city. The improvement
will he one that will meet the general
approval Of the public.
