ell the statements that we have
heard since the arrival OF the travelling men
in Dallas to attend their anniversary here,
it would appear that their tflortp, as well as
fhe efforts OF our citizens, resulIedin q sue
cess sipgularly satisfactory. Weare more
than glad OF this, for the exaltation OF
Texas has been with them pleas
mt theme wherever they have
Travelled beyond the state. The citizens OF
Dallas should be especially gratiiied, as
Mis- has been for some years past essentially
the home OF the commercial drummer
Here they have located their families when
ever they could do 30, and for
this point they have ever sought to make
in their Saturday night roundup and for
their Sabbath recreation. This, the queen
city of north Texas, has been peculiarly
their pride and their pleasure, and they
never fail to sound Its glorits
wherever. they go. With the keenest
and the quickest OF perceptions,
With an extensive and varied knowledge OF
all localities within and beyond our limits
thorough judges Of human nature, they go
forth as the very best advertisers that any
CITY or state can have. IL
Texas has contributed largely ns a
a field for their enterprises, their energies
and their profits, no less is Texas indebted
20 them for the very large share OF the
I.s'erial business she can now boast Of.
.,usands of dollars are annually saved
months of time are economical by
fhe merchants of Texas through that pecu'
liar ageEcy, in the furnishing OF samples to
xhe several trader, and in the laying down
pf articles ct our very doors. Some years
ago the title OF drummer was not OF repu'
table significance, and, as rule, only
the rougber class was employed In the
avocstion. c-But to-day quite the reverse is
the case. These commercial travellers deal
with the very beet Of ear people, hnan-
cialIy and socially, and 1t Is there
fore tr1e policy that dictates the
sanding of only men OF like cslibre and
character to them. OF such were those
Who assembled here few days ago. On
the streets, at the ball and at the banquet,
they gave evidence before their fellows and
in the presence OF hdies
that they were the peers OF
of any who walk In the highest circles OF
iife. THAI such an organization with such
a embersblp shall see proper to continue
70 meet in Dallas as their annual reunion
HEADQUARTERS is certainly The sentiment OF
MI our people.

the grant Of Lands made in aid Of
that great work. But no sooner have
the efforts brought them almost to
the end Of their tolls and finished the
road 50 as to build up portion Of
the Pacific Coast at the expense Of
Washington Territory, then the pol
iticians and the hackers Of the other
transcontinental lines have determin-
ed to dafeat the further continue
ton Of the route to Puget Sound, by
procuring the forfeiture of the land
grant.
We protest that it is unworthy of
a great and magnanimous people to
take back that which they have once
freely given and which has been
equitably earned, upon the paltry ex-
cuse that the road has not been fin
ished 50 soon as required by the let
ter Of the law. We are unable to the
equity or JUSTICE in this, either to the
people or the railway. 1t is not in
the interests of the people of the
Northwest, whether actual or pros
pective. On the contrary the pio-
neers Of civilization in Washington
will thereby be irreparably injured.
Therefore on behalf Of those people
whose interests we represent, we re-
spectfully pray your Honorable
body, that the time for the compile
tion of the Cascade Division of the
Northern Pacific Railway be extend
ed, and that the bills now pending
in Congress to forfeit the land grant
of that road do not pass, and we as
in duty bound will ever pray, etc.

Changes-seeh to take place among

almost every week. New parties
coming into the country are attract
ed by the city and at once enter into
negotiations with some one already
settled with the object Of forming n
partnership. One of the latest adj
ditlOns to our law-flrms is that OF
Webster & Miller. The senior part
ner Is f. ]. Webster, who hls led
an active life in our midst during
the past year us an attorney and
dealer in real estate, and who has
done exceedingly>well in all Of his
ventures. The new man is Eugene
c. Miller, who stopped at the Falls
on his way to Portland, which act
insured to us q new and most desira-
BILE citizen. Mr.. Miller is a member
Of the bar Of Butler. county, Pa,
where he has practiced law since
1876. He comes very highly recon-
mended not only as an honorable,
able, and capable member of the
profession but also as a polished
gentleman. We cordially welcome
to the west men so kindly recon-
mended by their fellowmen, and
hope that the new firm will work its
way into large and lucrative prae-
tice.

OVER THE RIDGE.
A sPOkanIte Fresh From the Gold
Center.

J. J. Peters has just arrived from
Eagle City. He reached home
Wednesday after an absence of a
fortnight in the mining district.
While he made the trip for the pur-
pose Of taking observations, the
sightseeing was confined to world
of snow, as the white mantel covers
everything from view. However,
Mr.. Peters had good opportunity
of cOnverSing with those already in
the mines, and learning a good deal
Of the country. The general faith in
the diggings has not been shaken by
the long siege Of winter. Men are
just as well satisfied now as ever
that the camp contains vast stores Of
mineral wealth, and that in spring
the mining business will be pushed
ahead with renewed activity. or
course no work is now being done in
the way Of prospecting. Snow lays
several feet in depth, and the
weather is very severe. The cold
does not debar travel, for new arri-
walls report every day, although
much suffering from the inclemency
Of the weather is reported. Men
should not attempt to make the trip
at this season Of the year. They
cannot hope to escape privdtiOns and
hardships, and nothing can be done
in the way Of mining for six weeks
on two months. Property in Eagle
City is going up with a rush. Lots
that were Il drug on the market a
few weeks ago are held at high fig
uHes. The population Is increasing
with wonderful rapidity. Even If
there were not another ounce Of gold
taken from the mines there will be
upwards Of $4,000 people in the camp
by next July, If not double that
number. Eagle City Is destined to
be a large place, and already is Sc
curing the factors Of metropolis.
A newspaper goes in next week
with such men at the cad as w. F.
Edwards and G. F. McIAshan, Of
Truckee, who are practicable news
paper men, and will represent the
new country in an able manner Mr..
Peters came out over the Trout
Creek route, and had the Chlracter
Of the trail well demonstrated. He
met number of men frost-bitten,
some with their feet badly frozen.
AT one place two men are laid out
badly frosted, but being well provid-
ed with blankets and provisions
they will not be lost. Every indica-
tiOn points to a renewed amount Of
travel at the first break Of the pres
ent cold snap. Mr.. Peters expresses
his satisfaction at having been able
to reach home without accident, as
"A trip over the trail Is anything but
a holiday pastlme just now.

His stOr, md My STORY.

, How many fond mother has l3okdE
with pride upon her dear boy while yet
passing his pleasant, youthful days al
home, as sho hears the same repeated
over and over again by noighbors and
friends ''what bright boy you have, and
such fine features, and manly form and
how noble; you need not feel concerned
as to his future. He will make his mark
in the world"
To-day wo can look with the same pride
upon our beautiful Spokane Falls. Ma
ture has done her part-fine fields and
woodland are everywh here around in wait
ing for the sturdy husDandman--a mighty
cataract goes rushing past our door as yet
comparatively free and unclaimed, its
power unknown. A more healthiul eli
mate can no where be found and 1 chal-
lsnge the world over for a more happy
law-abiding people than the residents OF
our own Spokane Falls.
