When Mr.. Sidney ID. Waters ar
rived in this city ON his way TO take
charge Of the COlville Indian agency,
he at once noticed the number of
lazy Indians Of the Spokane tribe
hanging about the Falls, and rs soon
as he became established in his quar-
tiers carefully examined into the
matter. He found a disgusting stqte
Of affairs existing. Diseases were
being contracted and spread by them,
they gave themselves up to idlenes~
and drinking and were anything but
desirable acquisition to the pOpula-
tiun. Mr.. Waters Mt once opened q
correspondence with the authorities
at Washington, laying the case be-
fore them, and has received instruc-
tiOns to ascertain the number of
heads Of families and young men
who need land, rs they are to he re-
moved upon the CGur dAlene rcscT-
walton. These instructions are inn
pcrative, and Mr.. Waters was down
this week and held a council with
the chiefs and head men Of the Sptk-
ane and Rurd'Alene Indians. The
information he impaired to them is
not in the shape Of a request, but an
order, and this place, so long the
lOafing ground Of the SpOkanes, will
be freed from their presence as soon
as the necessary arrangements can
be made by congress. OF course
those Indians who have taken up
lands will not be mOlested, and those
put upon the new reservation will
be provided for by the government,
and every encouragement held out
to them to follow in the footsteps OF
the CGur d'Alenes, one Of the most
prosperous tribes in the Territory.
This long desired riddance has been
brought about through the eXertiOns
Of Mr.. Waters and Maj. UNeill,
who deserve the thanks Of our peO.
pie for the zeal they have displayed
In this matter. Late Agent Maj,
Simms has long had this project in
view, and often urged it upon tl4
Indians.

One Of the most thriving indus
tries now on foot in this city is Halls
new tent manufactOTy. FcwpersOns
are aware Of the existence Of this
business, yet nevertheless il is rap
idly growing to gigantic proportions.
Tn" demand for tents is exceedingly
great, and ii requires every cXcTtiOn
for Mr.. Hall to keep up the supply.
Orders come in from every quarter,
hut the greater number are destined
for the mines. Mr.. Hall has secured
the large room on the upper floor Of
KOhlhOff & Abers building at the
corner Of Main and Howard streets,
which presents a busy appearance.
Here the canvas Is cut, sewing done
and the tents finished up. In the
room are five sewing machines run
by ladies, while elsewhere four other
machines are at work. The manu-
featuring department is under the
charge Of A. ID. Griffith, whoWthOr-
oughly understands the business.
Mr.. Hall is not restricted to sizes.
lie makes any size from a dog COW
ering to a circus tent. lie has in
hand several tents, one Of them
fOX9O and another 3lXj3. The latter
was cut up into apartments and both
are intended for the mines, On. he
used for restaurants and lOdGPrs.
Mr.. Hall is compelled to secure
stock in very large quantities, to fiji
orders. lie Is able to put up tents
for Il less price than they can be pur-
chased ready made. As sample Of
his work, he recently completed q
bell tent for n party at Trout creek,
that was $50 feet in circumference,
nine-fOOt walls, and forty-five feet
high at the center. If the business
continues to increase he will put on
FIVE more machines next week. We
hope the energy that Mr.. Hall has
shown will meet with a deserved re-
ward. He is giving employment to
a large number of hands, and as his
work is as good as any that is done,
there is no reason for men to send
abroad for this class OF goods.

The Election.

While there was nothing more i'm
portant hanging upon the result Of
the election Tuesday than the mere
choice Of a justice of the peace,
whose duties, by the way, are by no
means laborious, yet the excitement
produced by the pollingof votes ran
high enough to give a stranger the
idea that the future welfare of the
city depended upon the ultimate re-
suit. II was not fight Of party,
either, but the friends of the two
candidates displayed an ardOr and
activity worthy of a great and glori-
Gus cause. Both candidates were
young men, clever and capable gen.
tlemen, and while not a particle of
vindictiveness was apparent, the
contest was eager and warm. Some
293 votes were cast, the largest num-
Der ever polled in the city, the poll
Of last spring only counting $50.
OF this number II. L. Allen received
1874 and J. l.. Taylor 100. One Of the
features Of the election was the vOt-
ing Of ladies', some twenty Of the
gentler sex taking advantage of the
first opportunity under the new law
to exercise the right Of franchise.
Mrs. ID. NJ. Drumheller can be
awarded the claim OF being the first
lady to cast vote In Spokane Falls.

We were shown this week by
Judge Lewis a letter from Henry A.
Myers NE1ssttr Of the Mclean Coun-
ty, ILL.,, Grange and a man of large
means, who bought considerable
property in this city when here last
fall from which letter we make the
following extracts:
am to meet Capt. Jack to-day to
make arrangements for special train
to take out from 200 to 800 to the
Falls destined for OkanOgan, to leave
st. Paul about April LIST.
''They will be a good class with
lots Of money"
81 fear we will swamp the Big
Bend so many coming"
GAN will want teams, tools, pro-
visions, cattle, hogs, seed, furniture,
in short almost everything. Can they
be Obtained?.
"Can there be in readiness freight
ers and coaches at the Eahs to take
all direct to OkanOgan."
The Captain Jack mentions is trav-
cling agent for the n. p. railroad at
st. Louis Mo.
Mr.. Lewis tells us this is but one
Of many regular letters received by
him every day, and that the pros
pc Is are that by the first Of August
every claim in the Big Bend country
will be taken.
The settlement Of this country will
he greatly to the advantage Of SpO-
kane Falls as the country is natu-
rally tributary thereto, and the
trade is bound to come here.

SILVER MINES.
PrOInIsIng Outlook for the COIVIIie
Ledge.

1t is well known that there exists
| to the north of Spokane Falls silver
! belt that promises to cut quite II fig
ure in the mining development Of
| Eastern Washington, and which is
to lend its aid in building up this
city. Without doubt the mountain
ranges all around and about this
place contain deposits Of precious
metals, as they are connected and in
cluded in the mineral belt OF Idaho
and MOntana. About go miles north,
in the COlville country, men are now
hard at work developing silver

under which the company Is work
| ing is "The Spokane Mining and
| Smelling Company" The principal
office of the company will he at Ia
| coma, with a branch office in this
| city. Work on the mine has pro-
| gressed steadily for sometime, and
/ the character Of the quartz taken
| out indicates increased richness the
| longer the work progresses. The
main body of the ore, after being
lost for some time, was struck last
week, and shows a very extensive
vein, how extensive it is impossible
/ to say until further examination but
/ the ore in sight is of II quantity to in
/ sure a big fortune to the owners.
The mines are admirably located,
| surrounded with an ineXhaustihle
amount of timber and plenty Of W.T.

can he mined bundled and worked
| for SO per ton, which, even at the
I lowest assay, would yield a hand
some revenue to the owners. There
are Il number of other claims in the
| vicinity which promise to turn out
well, and no doubt many more will

A atlidl-dnexpected matrimonial
alliance took place in our city last
Sunday evening, although the event
has been pending for some time, and
was known by the principals and
relatives even If secret to the circle
in which the lady moved. The sud-
denness Of the event, however, did
not Mt all detract from the interest
manifested in its COnsummatiOn.
We refer to the marriage Of Geo. W.
MaCkie, Of Portland, to Miss Lulu
NJ. KOhlnOff, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. w. KOhlhOR of this city. The

Of the brides father at half-past 6
O'Clock Sunday evening, the Cere-
mOny being performed according to
the impressive rites Of the Catholic
church, by Father Jacquet, Of the Lit
tie Spokane mission. The bride was
attended by Miss Annie KOhlhOn
ind Miss Love, and the groom by
Henry KOhlhOf and J. Kennedy
Stout, As the newly welded couple
were 10 take the evening train, due
at 7:Oj, for Post CGur d'Alcne, the
congratulatiOns had to be mingled
with faTewells, The bride Is hand
some and accomplished young lady,
who has resided here for almost Il
year, and who numbers large circle
Of friends among our young people.
The groom is prosperous young

the friends Of the couple in congrat-
ulating them upon the choice made
in the cupartnership for life, and

Last week we mentioned the or
ganization in our midst Of the Spo-
kane Falls Literary and Dramatic
Society, with II list Of officers and
members. The society has held Il
number of interesting meetings
since that date and have decided
upon treating our citizens to a little
opera as an initiatOry performance.
''Pinafore" is the selection made, a
production that had an unpreccdent
run few years ago, and
though of the light opera class will
put our amateurs on their metal.
Those cast for the piece are burnish-
ing up their voices, in order that
no failure may occur in the parts as
signed them. There are quite anum-
Der of good singers among the ladies
and gentlemen connected with the
Society and we look forward to Il
rendition OF ."Pinafore," that will
contain all the requisite elements to
give pleasure to an audience.

We frequently hear Of a fisher
mans luck as Indicative of nary
scale and a general dampness, but
never before heard OF so many mis-
fortunes occurring to hunters as have
befallen parties this winter, In which
long tramps, many hours without
food, getting bewildered and an alb
sence Of game have been so mingled
together as to make trips SAVIOR Of
startling adventure instead Of sport
i've pastime. One day this week w.
c. Chatter, John COnat, Ed. Pittmnn
and John Robson started out from
Rathdrum in quest Of deer, and any
other wild animal that came within
range of their vision or rifles. The
snow made travelling anything but
pleasant, yet the quartet moved on,
cheered with anticipation. Towards
afternoon il became. evident that
they had lost their bearings, and
were completely at sea as regarded
their position. Visions Of horrible
death stared them in the face, and II
feeling Of uneasiness took possession
Of their minds. They endeavOred
to reach Rathdrum, but the more
they endeavOred the more persistent
was the place to keep out of their
sight. After tramping around for
twenty-six hours, tired almost unto
death, disgusted with hunting and
about ready to give up the job Of
finding n human habitatiOn, they
fortunately struck civilization. The
boys will hereafter take guide with
hem when they go out for a shoe t.
