A GOOD MOVE.
Spokane Falls stage and TranspOrtR-
tiOn Company

Among the many important ques-
tiOns that have been sprung by the
recent organization of Board of
Trade in this city, there is not a sim
gle one IN II calls for Il greater con-
sideratiOn than that of securing the
trade of the new Cpur d'Alene gold
mines, and none that mt the present
time so affects our business men.
Recognizing the great necessity for
making a strong and vigorous effort
to draw the trade to this point our
people, to unit, are eXerting them
selves to open up easy, direct and
rapid communication with Eagle
City and other points on the road to
and in the mines. Taking all things
In cOnsiderat lon this is the hatural,
supply depot p5ttthe mines and the
country contiguous thereto. Enjoy
ing special rates on the railroad,
hlndling large capital and buying
for cash directly from first hands in
the eastern markets, our mere hlnts
are prepared to deliver goods ut as
. low figures as they can be purchased
anywhere on the coast. The busi-
ness hOhSes here carry enormous
stocks, representing hundreds Of
thousands Of dollars, and calculating
upon demand for Il certain class of
goods the firms have taken pains to
make such selections us will meet
the requirements Of the new market.
Besides these advantages enumer-
ated, Spokane has another and i'm
pOrtant advantage of being the larg-
est city within easy reach Of the
mines. 1t is just as natural for
miner to seek the largest inhabited
place in his neighbOrhOOd as il is for
II duck to travel toward water. The
prOspectOr is a sOciable kind of spe-
ties of the human family when off
duty, and concludes that where the
greater numberOf people cOngreglte
there pleasure awaits the seeker in Il
corresponding prOdigality. Alto
gether Spokane Falls occupies an un-
rivaled position in its situation and
ought to profit largely thereby, and
the scheme on foot and about to be
carried out will insure to it trade
that might possibly drift in another
direction. We refer to the organizu-
tiOn of joint stock company to be
known as the "SpOkane Falls Stage
and Transportation Company" This
project is one of the tirSt-fruits Of the
Board of Trade. While it has no
connection directly or indirectly with
that institution, yet the company is
an OutgrOwth from suggestions Of
fered at a meeting of the Board. 1t
took shape ut once in a proposition
to incorporate company with cap
ital Of S2O,OUQ, represented by 400
shares. The Rapcr has been cirCulat-
-. h.- = "nmmittee appointed for
that purIDse, and up to the present
time over One-half Of the stock has
been taken, with every indication
that the entire amount will be rapid
f9 II ~ 5T Gq fS IS slhSrsRhafdi lhS sRhafdi
crs will meet, elect officers and draw
up articles Of Incorporation. The
object and intentions Of the company
are to Immediately put ON daily
stage between Spokane and CUur d'
Alpne, to accommodate passenger
traffic, and also freight wagons for
the transportation of goods. Ar
rangements have been made with
the C9ur d'Alene Navigation Com
pdny to carry goods from this place
directly into the mines, so that the /
communication between the Falls
and Eagle City will be continuous
and unbroken. The project Is FEAST
lie and easy to carry out. The road
between our city and the Post is level
aS q floor and free from all Obstruc-
tion. No difficulty will be expert
enced in carrying heavy loads be-
tween the two places, and it can and
will be transported at nominal cost. |
In fact the main object Of the COM
luny is to put goods down in the
mines with prOmptness and at Il low
cost to the shipper. 1t is safe to say
thlt the company will have evcHN-
thing in running order by February,
IL not earlier, and parties heading
for the mines will find Spokane Falls
to he the best point from which TO
start.
