Berg's occupation is gone, and the
doorway once decorated with his
Incoming rotundlty will soon know
him no more forever, or for u season,
anyhow. We shall miss that sturdy
form, the martial mOustache, that
radiant yet doubtful smile. Soon
his sonorOus voice, and knowing
wink, and earthquake chuckle, that
even reached to his boots when hold
ing the thirteenth trump at whist,
will have passed away, leaving a
vacuum that no other can fill. One
OF the oldest among our merchants
he is known far and wide, and when
he turns his nose toward the rising
sun many will be the well wishes
that will follow him. He has been
on the verge Of going out Of business
for months, but never got beyond
the vSrge until within the past
month, NNow he is free and will
celebrate by making a trip east,
where his stay will depend upon the
character Of his reception, and how
long he can stretch out a good time.
Mr.. Berg has made a good citizen,
and we would regret exceedingly il
we thought his early departure
meant permanent stay. We feel
that he will gladly return his far
western love before the waning Of
many moons in eastern skies. As an
evidence Of the esteem with which
Mr.. Berg Is held by his ftllow-towns-
men, we cite his election as alder
man OF the third ward last spring,
and can say for him that while he
mAy be slow In expressing him
self, his voice has always been on the
side. Ol that which WIS to the ad-
vantage Of the city. We will miss
Mr.. Berg's familiar face from the
throng that daily tramPs up and
down the streets Of our beautiful
city, but we hope before the spring
crop OF mosquitoes is ready to har-
vest his solid tread will again re-
sound In our midst, the old smile
again illumine his favorite haunts,
and that anvil, that will become 50
cold, 50 cold, without a covering,
will again he brought In requisitlon

sqrPass the grand stampedes that
followed the discovery Of gold in
California, at Ritis Peak, aud the
finding Of carbonates In the richest
part Of Colorado. Chewelah and
Pend d'Oreille will, perhaps, divide
th9 honOrs, but In time holsting
works will crown the whole range,
and line Of hats and tunnels will
fringe the mountains from Embrey
to the KOOtenai country, taking in
the Pend d'Orellle, and the Lord
only knows what other section.
Like the Stevens county mines the
Pend dOreille district will aid in
the growth Of Spokane Falls. Some
what further away, yet the natural
channel Of travel will he through
this city, and when the cOnsumma-
tion Of the projected railroad Is ac-
compllshed the relationship between
the Falls and all that mining district
to the north and east will be con-
nected closely and beyond the power
Of any other place to steal away.
Here the ores will he handled.
There Is no other place holding out
the same Inducements, and the de-
velOpment Of these mines means the
infusion Of a life into this city that
will maAe Of It a second Denver, but
not Second to any city west Of the
Missi 'slppl river. Probably that
metono0rphosis will not be creation
Of a single season. No Alladin-like
necromancy Is to follow the mere
announcement Of the existence of
this silver world. The really mar
velOus spOntaniety Of mushroom
growth may not be the sequel Of the
first product Of the assayers crucible.
A metropolis Is not to spring into
being at a word OF command. yet the
mineral resources Of the country i'm
medlately tributary to Spokane Falls,
together with the many other ad-
vantages, such Ms agriculture, manu-
featuring and numbering, will hasten
the day when 1t will take Its place
among the leading cities of the new
world, and WELD a power and in
fluence in the country now little
dreamed Of. Everything combines
tn bring about such a change, and
with the accumulation Of years will
come that development we now see
with prophetic vision is in store for
the place.

Mr.. EDIToR:-While we have an
abundance Of time on our hands, we
thought we would drop you line
and tell you hat we still olive, move
and have our being" In spite Of
the great amount Of snow the princi-
pal highways are kept open and in
good condition for Neighing. Some
OF our citizens are drawing wood,
Others saw-lOgs, while many think
II quite enough to do their chores.
Farmers, with one or two exceptions,
have been prcvident enough to keep
on hand a good supply Of provender,
and stock is in much better condition
than ut a corresponding date last
year. We hope the time is in the
near future when men who depend
on making a living by stock raising
will realize that It will pay to make
n little provision for their herds In
summer and spend less time In
winter driving them of to the snow
clad hills, or into the gulches where
the weaker ones may starve TO death
and the stronger make a raid on
some hay or straw stack where they
have no rights that are respected.
Our prairie smithy has been kept
pretty busy ironing sIeighs and
sharpening horses.
The eth inst. was the occasion for
a birthday surprise to our respected
old-tiner, T. NJ. Wegger. As Is
usual on such occasions he was kept
ignorant Of the design upon himself
until those who were invited by the
other members OF the family began
to assemble. Those present were
Mr.. Davis aud lady, Mrs. Kelliher,
Mrs. d. Wegger, Mr.. Butler and
lady, Mr.. Morgan, wife and daugh-
ter, Mr.. Numan and lady and Mr.
Reed and wife. After dinner that
will he lasting honor to those who
prepared It, the subject Of the sur
prise was presented with number Of
ornamental and useful articles as
tokens OF the esteem In which he Is
held by those who know him best.
Nj. W responded to the presenta-
tion speech In few happy remarks,
which showed that he appreciated
the good will and kindly feelings Of
his neighbors. In short 1t was a
very enjoyable affair, and ~ night
approached we wished Mr.. and Mrs
WegRer many returns Of the 9th Of
January, and departed fOrour homes
feeling well repaid for our time.

DiRsrenc, in Estimates.

As we are informed Taylor 4 Shar-
key Of Spokane Falls offered the low
est bid for supplying wagons for
Moses Indians. On the face Of the
bids Knapp, Burrell n Co. made the
lowest offer, hut rs they proposed 70
furnish wagons at Portland the
special agent readily discovered that
the freight to Spokane Falls would
he more than the difference between
the bidders, the Spokane firms bid
being SIS, while the Portland firm
wanted S68.25 for the shme article.
Davids & Todd, another Spokane
Falls firm, made the lowest bid for
furnishing two saw millS, two griSt
mills, two shingle mills and two
srhOOl houses. d. w. Small made a
hid on one school house based on the
estimate Of the architect who de-
signed II. and after reducing the
architects figures 5000, wis underbld
$68DO. 1t Is possible the Spokane
bidders will make money, hut 1t
seems doubtful, unless they can "get

We will say that 1t Is possible that
the Spokane bidders knew what they
were doing. Our people down here
are reasonable and don't want the
earth. They are satisfied with maxi
ing a slight margin and expect other
Jols besides this one during the year.

Two views of Women.

There are great many handsome
men in Texas. The free, outdoor life,
with much horseback riding, gives them
good forms, clear eyes and cOmpieXlons.
There is a great deal OF native lntelil-
gence and good thinking.
The women among the we'll do
classes appear to live mostly indoors.
Even in cities very few are seen on the
street or in tile stores. They are not az
often rosy-cheeked as the men, but
much oftener powdered. Living with
doors and windows open a large part OF
the year, and in houses all the year that
let in the air on every side, 1T seems
strange that they do not look fresher.
At one place, where the railroad missed
the town a mile, and all the stores had
been taken to the depot, we asked
how they got to the stores through the
mud.
"Oh, we never go; the men go on
horseback, and they do the buying
So it is not uncommon to see men
buying dress goods, stockings and Other
articles for women's wear.
Good help is scarce, and the women
usually do the housekeeping in q few
rooms, every one of which has one Oh
more beds in it. Their timidity is Sc
great that they object TO two-st0ry
houses "because the wind blows Fol
recreation many dip snuff and read
stories. Old snuff clippers look snntf-
colored. Among the poorer classes wo-
men work in the fields at cotton raising
Hoeing and picking are done by hand
and what one man can plant and pillow
several hands are required TO hoe and
pick. But raising cotton is clean farm
work. There are no briars to scratch
no juice to stain the hands. The stoop-
ing IS tiresOme, but less so than picking
strawberries. Children are valuable
pickers, being nimble and of suitable
height. We have seen little girls who
had picked hundreds OF pounds, viii
sun bonnets and mitts on III the hot sun
who were not tanned at all. Iu years
when the cropis good wages are high
and many well-to-do women go ont anC
