We will cndelvor to supply the now retd-
ers with good paper. Miss Rodgers
has made arrangements to open select
school at Spraguc. She is an intelligent
| lady and under her careful training the
young ideas Of our neighboring city will
be greatly improved. II at any time the
people Of Spraguo desire an intellectual
treat LEI them engage Miss Rodgers to de-
liver lecture, and she will give them a
perfect surprise.
Henry l.. BurgOync, returned Wednes-
day from a trip through the Colville Val
I ley where he spent fortnight on profess
sional business. Mr.. Burgoync speaks in
the highest terms Of the great agricultural,
numbering and mineral possibilities Of that
section. We have had frequent occasion
TO mention the richness Of this valley, and
believe that the time will come when the
section will be largely populttcd. The
lands are adapted to fruit and grain, both
OF which can be grown proftably. There
is no doubt line Of railroad will be built
from this place to Colvillc, and as the Col
umbia river is Havigable for several hun
dred miles such line would open up an
immense ara Of territory. Mr.. Burgoyno
tells us that many new settlers arc work
ing their way into the country, and that
a large emigration is looked for next sum
mcr.

Married.

a short time ago w. l.. Rlney, of
the firm of Cox q Rancy, of this
city, started south and his friends
hereabouts suspicioncd that some,
thing was about to occur and were
not surprised when the young gen
tleman returned this week, accom-
panied with a bride. The happy
event took place at Portland on
Tuesday, Jan. 20th at the residence
of Il mutual friend, where Mr.. Raney
was joined in the bonds of wedlock
with Miss Ida +. Sessions, of San
Francisco. The groom is a pleasant
gentleman, and an active business
man and has prOspered in our city.
The bride is handsome, accomplish
ed lady. With other Of their friends
we join in wishing Mr.. and Mrs.
Raney long and happy existence,
and may their joys be great ones and
their cares little ones.

Our public schools closed yesterday for
two weeks vacation. The institution
has prosperediduring the past few months,
the only drawback being the OvercrOwded
condition Of the rooms. A new school
house will be put up next summer, very
probably.
We have just added new half medl-
um Gorden press to our Office, the largest
and best jobber manufactured, and are
better prepared than ever to do large job
work. The press is from the old and re-
liable printing house Of Painter & Co.,
San Francisco, and is a perfect beauty.
The majority Of our people can hardly
realizethe number Of ofstrangers that flock
into this place from every train. A per-
feet mob collects at the depot upon the ar
rival Of the passenger trains and scores Of
people disembark for the purpose OF TAX
ing up permanent homes here, hunt for
land, or to make a trip to the mines.
We spoke to a party at the depot Thurs
dav that we mistOok for the conductor OF
the freight train. We feel satisfied from
the curtness Of his reply that he was
President or two-thirds owner Of the line.
II this should happen to come to his no
tice we hope he will accept an apology for
our temerity in presumingt to address him.
The Globe Theatre has been playing to
good houses during the week and prom
ises to be paying investment to the pro-
prietor As far as we can learn it is well
conducted and the performance gives per
feet satisfaction to the patrons. Manager
Rodgers is in communication with some
fresh stock and will present new faces be-
fore long. The Cassidys, Mozarts and
Brandt are doing good stage business.
A communication appears in the Port
land Standard under the signatures Of
three men in which the CRur d'Alene
mines are spoken Of as fraudulent, and
warn all people not to go to the diggings.
II these same men had taken the advice Of
the papers Of Eastern Washington they
would have postponed their visit until
spring, when the camp would probably
have look much different from what it
now does. We have yet to see a single
man with any knowledge Of mining who
has been to Eagle City and is not fully
satisfied that the mines are exceedingly
rich and extensive.

NEW DEPARTURE.


We understand that c. II. Morgan & c.
n. Bunce have formed partnership for
the purpose Of handling dry goods exclu-
sively, and will open on Berg's corner in
about 30 days, or as soon as the store is in
readiness G.. II. Morgan has gone east
for the purpose Of buying a large stock Of
goods for spot cash. Col. Morgan is a
thorough business man and has had ex-
perience in the dry goods trade, and we
all know Charley Bunce, who was with
f. r. Moore & Co., until the fire and since
then has been with Chas. Sweeny as head
salesman. Mr.. Bunce is a practical mer-
chant, has been in the business steadily
for 80 years, and understands pretty well
what our growing trade demands, and he
considers this the right time for opening
store Of the kind. The firm will whole
sale and retail giving country merchants
a chance TO buy dry goods fully as cheap
here as they have been buying anywhere
heretofore on the coast. Our country is
filling up and eastern people complain Of
our prices as being too high, and with our
present railroad facilities have a right to
demand reduction. Portland and San
Francisco wholesale men SEQ this and they
will be compellnd to meet the exigency or
lose our trade. We bespeak for the firm
a large trade which they have a right to
expect.

Our pioneer dealer in footwear, ].
B. BlalOck is heard from this week
in tones that cannot be misunder-
stood. He talks business through
the columns of the city papers, and
talks in language that shows he
means what he says. He is carry
ing one of the largest and best stocks
of boots and shoes, adopted to the
wants Of all classes, that can be found
north of Snake river, or south Of that
sinuous stream, for that matter. He
is bound to reduce his stock to make
room for a tremendous spring sup
ply and for that purpose saws off the
big end Of the old figures and offers
his goods lower than ever before.
Call on him at once and secure a
bargain, as the opportunity will not
exist but short time, the rush is
so great that II you don't get in early
you will lose the cream Of the stock.

FIreI

Last Tuesday afternoon a fire oc-
CURED in our city, although the town
has become so large that but few
people new Of the circumstances. A
residence in the eastern part Of the
city owned by S. c. COffman, and
occupied by Mr.. Burkmaster was
discovered to be on fire between the
cealing and roof. A number Of
neighbOrs assembled on the alarm
and proceeded to remove the furni-
ture and endeavor to save the house.
The fire was not extlnguished until
the entire roof was destroyed. The
loss only amounted to about 800.

Use IL.

Spokane Falls not only enjoys the
distinction of having the largest
Touring mill between Minneapolis
and Portland, but it also enjoys the
satisfaction Of knowing that the pro-
ducts of that mill are equal in grade
to anything produced in the East and
far surpasses any -four in use in the
nOrtE west. This is owing to the eX-
cellent quality of grain used, the eX-
istence of the most improved machi-
merry and the employment Of the
most competent mechanics. In fu-
ture years, or as soon as the Echo
Roller Mill brand becomes intro
duced, consumers will use it in pref
erenCe to any other manufactured
1t has stood all kinds OF tests, and in
every instance the products Of the
-four have given evidence Of its su-
periority. 1t would be well for the
housewives Of this city and county
to try the Echo Mill flour, and we
feel satisfied they will use no other.
Our merchants should give the home
product the preference, not because
it is a home product but because it is
the best in market.

Ed. Mozart, now connected with
the Globe Theatre, has made up his
mind to retire from before the glare
of the foot light, and settle down to
the business of hotel keeping. He
has leased the old st. Charles Hotel
and for a week past force Of car
penters, painters and paper hangers
have been hard at work this week
entirely overhauling the premises.
The hotel will be neatly furnished
throughout and will hereafter be
known as the Mozart House. Louis
Asher, who has had cOnsiderableex-
perience in the business, will preside
over the office. We wish the new
Boniface a rich streak of luck in his
new undertaking, feeling pretty
well satisfied that the project will
prove a success.

COOKED.


About a quarter to 8 o'clock this
Saturday morning fire was discov-
cred in one Of the numerous small
buildings in the rear Of the Black
Hawk livery stable, at the corner of
Main and Stevens streets, owned by
Warner & Roe. Fortunately there
were a large number Of people up at
that hour, and in less than five min
utes twenty or thirty were on the
ground working to save the sur
rounding buildings. The fire was
confined to a small shed about 12XlS
feet, thanks to the hard work Of
those present. There were six val.
liable horses in the shed, four Of
which were burned to death, while
two others are very seriously
scOrched, one of which may not re-
cover. The building consumed was
about a dozen feet from the main
stable and joined long barn con-
taining a veryDiarge quantity of
grain, 1t js~very fortunate that all
the conditions were favorable for
fighting the fire, or there isno telling
where the blaze would have stopped,
as Main street is lined with frame
buildings clear to the n. p. Hotel.
The fire was undoubtedly the work
of an incendiary. Charles Smiley
was about the first person to discover
the fire. lie was hitching up team
preparing to go to the train when he
observed smoke and Il dull light over
toward the Black Hawk stable.
Not desiring to create false alarm,
he ran to the stable, and as he got
there he saw a man run out with Il
blanket over his head. There were
several tons Of baled hay piled just
inside of the door, and it was impos-
sible to get out the confined animals.
One OF the horses, owned by DIR.
Burch, was seen to walk through the
building with his name and tail in
flames. The poor brute reached the
open air, but 50 frightfully burned
that he was at once killed.
Many people visited the scene this
morning, and crowds are gathered
about the ruins as we go to press.
The expression of the public was
unmistakable, and had the perpe-
traitor been caught he would have
been summarily dealt with.
The loss to buildings and hay can
be covered by 5000. The horses
were valuable animals. Mr.. Roe
considers they were worth 5000.
One was owned by DIR. Burch, 1.-THE
balance by Warner & Roe.

THE SPRAGUE HOUSE.
That Popular HOsteIry 10 be Enlarged
and Renovated Throughout.

Some fifteen months ago VIM. Kaiser
opened the doors Of the SpHgue House to
the travelling public. Mr.. Kaiser came to
Spokane Falls fully impressed with the
idea that the place was destined to be Of
considerable importance and the growth
Of the past year has proven the wisdom OF
his speculation. At the time Of the COM
pletion Of the hotel some people predicted
that the house would fail on account Of its
remoteness from the chem centre Of the
city, it being spoken Of as out in the
woods, but the town has spread out and
increased until the Sprague House is
situated in almost the centre Of the city,
and has become one Of the most popular
hotels on the Pacific coast, and is known
from ocean to ocean and from MexicOto
the British possessions, a fame that it has
won through the courtesy Of the landlord
and the eXccllency Of its management
The location oi the house is greatly in its
favor, being within a few yards Of the
railroad depot, and transient guests can
step from a Pullman sleeper to a nicely
furnished room, escaping long rides in
the open air. Ever since the house was
opened the proprietor has even found ii
difficult to accommodate the many strang-
ers visiting the city, and tho place has
been always taxed to its full capacity.
Feeling that the influx OF visitors next
summer will far exceed the number stop
ping of here last season. Mr.. Kaiser has
made all arrangements and will immedi-
ately begin the erection Of a large addition
Of fifty rooms on the west side Of the pres
cnt building. lie will also change the
rear part Of the Hotel now used as a
dining room, store house and kitchen into
finely furnished, commodiOus and well
furnished apartments, giving the house
so rooms. In the new addition will be a
large and fully equipped restaurant, and
when completed the SDrague House will
be run on the European plan, now so pop
ular in all large cities. When the
Sprague House is thus completed it will
give Spokane Falls, with its other large
hotels, therein, accommodations equal to
those Of a city Of 10000 people. We most
sincerely congratulate Mr.. Kaiser on this
evidence Of prosperity, and hope that his
enterprise will be rewarded with plenti-
tude Of cash returns. The quiet butclever
landlord makes friends with the travelling
public, and he desires whatever good sue
cess may come in his way. Here's long
life to mine host Kaiser and luck to the
new departure.

On The Road.
The spokane Falls and CGhr d'Alene
Transportation Company
In Operation.

Those having charge Of the run
ming machinery Of the Spokane Falls
and CGur dAlene Transportation
Company have attended strictly TO
business since the scheme was first
mooted and the result of their ener1
gy is now observed in a daily line OF
stages between this city and CPur
PAlene. As the snow continued on
the ground the company purchased
set Of bob sleighS and the stage
will for the present make the trip on
runners, a mode Of travel even more
comfortable than lOcOmOtiOn on
wheels. For short time the trips
will only be made between the Falls
and the Post, but arrangements are
on foot to push the vehicles directly
through to Eagle City. This cannot
possibly be done until the winter
breaks up sufficiently to allow men
to cut out wagon road. This will
most assuredly be done and we look
for direct stage communication be-
tween this city and all points in the
mining district. Mr.. Drumheller,
the efficient Superintendent Of the
line went over the road on the first
trip Monday morning, and since
then has paid considerable attention
to the business Of the company. The
Fcold snap of the present week has
effected travel to some extent, but
1t is evident that the stages will be
taxed to accommodate travel in the
near future. 1t will not take long
for people to learn that for comfort,
cheapness and cXpeditiOusness no
route can compare with that from
Spokane, a knowledge that will have
the effect of throwing most of the
travel in this direction. The Trans
pOrtation Company exists as a reali-
ty and we expect to see it a paying
institution.

rLooDED NJ a BROKEN DAM.
Millions of Gallons OF Water Pour Int
AnsOnla.

Ansonla.
A special dispatch from New Haven
says: A few miles above Ausonia, a
thriving manufacturing town dozen
miles from here, the Naugatuck river is
damned to furnish water power for its
manufacturers. In the reservoir
formed by the dam are many 0O,OOO, 600
gallons of water, the back slack going
up the river five miles, Tonight at 7 80
o'clock this immense body of water
escaped and flooded tho town.
IL had been decided to repair the old
and extensive Colburn factories, which
have not been in operation for years.
and for several days workmen have
been putting new headgste into the
feed race. A Golfer dam was sunk to
keep back the water, but the founda-
tons were insecurity laid and the press
ure swept it away. The mills had been
closed and the wator power shut of, so
there was 90 outlet except the break,
and the whole water power, which
usually feeds all the mills i'm Ansonia,
rushed through the gap and spread over
Main snd Bridge streets with depth
varying according to the inequalities OF
the surface from hree to ten feet. Stores
along the Hooded streets were seriously
damaged, the water in some cases wash
ing goods Off the counters. At the Day
ton house, hnsouia's chief hotel, the
cellars were washed out and the founda-
tons of the buildings shaken, At the
rate the current is running now the
reservoir will have been emptied
! through the town by morning.
IiClara Louise Kellogg gave a concert al
| Birmingham this evening and many
Ansonia people had to 20 several miles
up the river 10 the upper bridge to got
over. The street in front Of the Episco-
| pal church was washed out, and a new
| sewer, being built near there, wa,
ruined. a horse and buggy fell into the
hole On the Narragansett railroad trach
! the depth of the water was two feet, anC
the trains ploughed through IL with din
Guilty. The break is thirty teet wide anC
| fifteen feet deep. The water power /.
| shut Off from all the mills ana 10000 meI
and women will be thrown out OF EN-
| ployment. IL will take ten DAYS to max,
| the necessary repairs before the facto
| rieS wiz be in operation again. 1t /,
| feared that the main reservoir above tn,
! Wallace mills will break.
