AlIhs r tuIlh A. bONGn started lOE u WISH
to her home in Oregon this week.
J. G. Scoby, representing the furniture
house Of Chadburne 4 Co. . Portland, was
in the city this week.
Mrs. Mackcy, nee Miss Annie Knhlhoh,
has returned to Portland after spending
fortnight in this city with her parents.
e. Charley Hopkins Of the ColfaN Ga-ette
was in the city Tuesday scattering himself
around among the boys. lie reports Col
fax to be in fiourishing condition.
We regret to learn that Henry French
is again confined to his bed with rheuma-
tism. The disease is not in so serious
form as during his late attack yet more
painful.
Mayor Jas. y. Glover was confined to
the house several days this week threat
ened with an attack OF quimsy. However
he weathered the storm and is to be seen
on the streets again daily.
Dan. Drumheller, Of this city, one Of the
most expert cattle men in Eastern Wash
ington, has just returned home after an
absence Of fortnight out to his cattle
range. He reports stock to be in fine
condition and the country promising a
large and abundant crop.
For aweck ormore the familiar face and
form OF the jovial Judge ]. Hoover has
been missing on the streets, but he showed
up early Friday morning we'll coated with
bronze as though he had been feeding on
country air and sunshine. 1t turns out
that he was OIL on a trip to his stock ranch,
where he is largely interested in growing
beefsteaks in the crude.
DIR. L. p. Warehouse, County Coroner,
was in the city Sunday on business con-
nected with his office. The Doctor is just
recovering from severe accident he met
with some six weeks ago. He was cutting
wood when the AK glanced bnrrying itself
in the side Of his left foot. The foot will
never be what it was before, yet it beats
no foot at all by largo majority.
Glad to see the honest and smiling
countenance Of Giles W. Clark on our
streets again, after an absence Of three
months. Mr.. Clark is owner Of the large
carriage repository on Spraguo street and
one OF our most industrious residents. He
brought out his family and household
effects and settles down in our midst for
keeps. May he grow messy with wealth
is our wish:
We had the pleasure this week Of meet
ing Miss l.. d. Robinson, OF Boston, Mass.
Miss Robinson has studied for the law
and has practiced her chosen profession.
She is a bright accomplished lady and a
great observer. She is making tour OF
the western country that contains many
surprises for far eastern people. Miss
Robinson was delighted with Spokane
Falls, and the general air Of western ac-
tiyty prevailing here.
J. W. Smith, the new division superin-
tendent OF the Northern Pacific road, with
headquarters at Sprague, made Spokane
a visit Wednesday. He comes out from
the Mississippi Valley and goes into the
Office a stranger, but he will soon get ac-
quainted in the glorious west. You might
sort over the whole family OF Smiths, and
they are not noted for their scarcity, and
find few livelier members than J. W. We
hope to become better acquainted with the
magnato in the days to come.
We arc pleased to announce that Spo-
kane Falls will have delegate in the Ma
tional Republican Convention that meets
in Chicago next month in the person Of
John l.. Wilson, who was chosen at the
Territorial Convention held at Dayton
Wednesday. We believe that the choice
is an exceedingly good one and that Mr..
Wilson will represent the people OF this
territory with credit. The honor was un-
sought by Mr.. Wilson, and he was sue
cessful without the customary wire pull
ing. We hope John will throw his vote
for the next President.
l.. +. Clarke, who has held the respon-
sible position Of head clerk in the United
States Land Office Of this district for the
past four years, has rendered his resigna-
tion and the same took effect on the lst Of
May. Mr.. Clarke is an excellent account
ant, a methodical clerk and can accom-
plish more sold work than any attachee Of
that branch OF the government depart
ments. He departs next week for Des
Moines, Iowa, his old home, where he
will commence the practice Of dentistry, a
profession that he is thoroughly CONVEX
SAINT with. We wish Mr.. Clarke unlimited
success wherever his his footsteps may
lead him.
