Our people were greatly surprised
and deeply panied Friday morning
on learning OF the very sudden death
during last night of Mrs. Josephine
Binkley, wife Of our wcll-known and
popular tOwnsman, Judge J. NJ.
Blnkley. Mrs. Binkley was enjoy
ing the most robust health Thursday
morning, but was taken down with
confinement about O'Clock than
day afternoon, and Notwithstanding
the best Of medical skill, the compli-
cations arising from the situation
proved fatal. Cases Of the kind are
comparatively rare, are unexpected,
and something that no care can
guard against Mrs. Binkley was
an amiable and cultured lady, hap
py and affectiOnate wife and mother,
a neighbOr whose memory will be
cherished by all who knew her. Mr..
Blnkley has the sincere sympathy
OF the entire community In his sud-
den and terrible bereavement and
affection, which has come upon him
so unexpectedly as to almost break
him down entirely. Mrs. Blnkley
was In the twenty-eighth year OF her
life, and had been married some Ave
years. Mr.. Blnkley arrived In this
city a wear aoo lasi fall and ,yas ioin.
ed by his wife and child the follow
ing spring. A little girl, some three
years Of age, Is the only child. Mr..
Binkley departed with the child
aud remains to-dhy for Toronto,
Canada, the native place OF the do
ceased and Mr. BIS former home,
where his wife's parents reside. He
will retarn to our city again after
paying the last sad ONCE for the dead
and providing for his child.

The want OF a suitable means for
sounding an alarm In case Of fire has
been seriously felt, and has been n
subject that has received considera-
BILE oral attention. II there is any
one thing In which the town Is poor
er than another 1t is In bells. At the
present time there are but two in the
place and the number Is to be In
creased by an addition Of a new bell
for the college building. An alarm
bell hung above the house used for
the accommodation Of the hose carts
would be Of great advantage In scat
tering to the ears OF the public the
information that a fire was In pro-
gress, and 1t would be surer in It's
effect Of arOusing people than the
present mode OF deI ending on lung
power. OF course these necessities
will be supplied In time and now Is
not a season for asking a cOntrIbu-
ton for the purpose. We do not
mention the matter to frighten our
citizens with the idea that they are
to be again called upon, but we pre-
fix the above introduction to suggest
that portion Of the fund raised by
the dance be set aside for the purpose
Of purchasing a bell 1t could not be
put to better purpose, and 1t would
not require much time to increase the
fund sufficiently to make such pur-
chase. We throw out the hint for
the boys to think over and discuss
Its merits.

While the country about Yakima
may be rich In many advantages, yet
It Is short In point Of good lumber.
Spokane Falls having all the same
advantages, Is also particularly for
tunate In possessing an unlimited
quantity Of tho best Of lumber. Now,
Yakima and that section wants
building material, and the stuff Is
manufactured here and can be sup
piled as cheap "A from anywhere, and
we believe a large and lucrative trade
can be built up In that line between
the two points This week the frSt
sales Of the kind were made, the
Spokane lumber and manufacturing
company having shipped 80 car loads
to Yakima. This institution not only
has large amount Of lumber on hand
but also q capacity 10 all any ordi-
nary or extraordinary orders. 1t
now looks as though this shipment
was but the lightning Of . trade that
win cut a large figure In the exports
Of Spokane Falls during the present
year.

Judge Still, Of Cheney, in company
with a number Of other gentlemen Of
means, became satisfied in their own
minds last summer that the bars Of
the Columbia could be worked with
big profit 1t has been known for a
great many years that the banks Of
that stream, and the made land
along its course Of the river was
thickly impregnated with -four gold.
1t was worked 20, 80 and 40 years
ago by strOlling prospectOrs and the
relies Of the former work still exist.
Chinamen, more tenacious than the
whites and satisfied with a return
that would have no charm for an old
timer, have worked the bars for
years, and gangs OF them can now be
found on the river pannIng out the
dust. Last summer Judge SILL and
a party made a trip to the Columbia
river on a prospecting tour, and put
In their stakes at point between 20
and 30 miles below the Little Dalles.
There they took up some 5000 acres
Of land, every foot Of which can be
worked. They prospected the dirt
thoroughly and found from 20 to 40
colors In every pan. That result sat
ished them and they constructed an
extensive fume with all the appur-
tenances necessary to hydraulic the
entire piece Of property. The gravel
and sand lay the depth Of 90 feet, 80
It will be seen that they have enough
ground to keep them pretty actively
employed for the next two or three
dozen years. Last December they
had everything in shape to COM
mence sluicing. Water was turned
on about the 9th Of that month and
the boys woke up next morning to
fnd every thing frozen. The crowd
returned to civilization to spend the
winter, and are now arranging TO go
back to the mines and get everything
In readiness to make q long sum-
mers run. Those holding stock In
the enterprise expect to reap a rich
harvest Of gold. 1t stands to reason
that they will make big money, as
the apparatus they work with en-
Rbles them to wash of many tons Of
earth every day, and they have pre-
pared to catch all the gold Catch
able" This tract Of land contains a
large per cent Of black sand. Re-
cent analyses have proven that this
black sand Is very rich In ane gold.
A sample Of 1t made the sand aver
Sge $500 to the ton. II II gives one
tenth OF that sum Judge Stills COM
pany has a fortune in sight too large
to calculate. There Is no doubt in
the minds Of those acquainted with
the country that the hydraulic pro-
cess can be worked to great advan-
tage and exceedingly profitable on
the Columbia river bars, and this |
commencement Of that mode Of min
ing will soon be followed by others,
while in a ftw years the banks Of |

Some wretch-we presume he Is a
wretch from the work he Is doing
has been engaged for a week dlstrib-
uting poison about town for the BEN
eft Of the canine population, and as
r result there has been numerous
fatalities among the dog family.
This mode Of cutting short the lives
Of the four-IOoted family pets Is con-
sldered outrageously wicked by all
who have fouI-tOoted members Of
the family. The character and value
Of a dog seems to be no consideration
In the eyes Of the poisoner. A dog
Is q dog to the distributor Of life
extracting drugs, and so that the
number In existence Is curtailed II IL
all the same to him. One gentleman
had two pet cats poisoned Tuesday.
The felines were out promenading
about the premises and were hooked
by the bait laid out for the dog. By
the timely administration Of sweet
oil and other antidotes the lives Of
the cats were saved, at least one Of
the nine lives, but the resuseitatiOn
has not cooled the rage Of the owner.
A loud and long cry Of vengeance
goes up from those who have suffered
the loss Of dogs and should the party
who Is hurllng death in the canine
ranks be discovered, he would be Sc
verely dealt with.

The city schools will open Monday, Sept.
I, the corps Of teachers being the same as
that of last year. The old high school build
ing on Columbus street has been raised, and
the Lincoln school will also be raised and in
readiness when the time for opening is at
hand. The FREE TRADER was the first paper
to call the attention of the school board to
these schools, and suggested tn. remedy
that of raising the Easements. Hadn't this
been done very few pupils would attend those
underground basement rooms. The board
acted wisely in the matter, and this work
should have been done at almost any cost.
