A cha Nge has taken place In the
management Of the Wells Fargo ex-
press office in this city, Yesterday
G.. b. Simpson withdrew from the
local office as agent and will In few
days take charge Of the office'at Ia
coma. II. J. Cole, who has for n
long time been associated with Mr..
Simpson in the management Of the
agency has taken sole charge Of the
office. The business Of the express
company has been in the hands Of
Messrs. Simpson and Cole, singly
and cOnjoihtly, for the past two years,
and for the first time since they
same in the bucks Of the company
were OverhAuled yesterday by spe-
cial agents. After the examination
they were found to be so accurate
that 81. .25 was due the agents, and
this balance remained on the right
side from a business representing
MANY thousands Of dollars. No
eulngy could be written upon the In
tegrIty and business ability Of these
two men that would reflect as much
credit upon them as those three lit
tie numerals Accuracy, prompt
ness and honesty has marked their
administration. For sometime II
has been evidently that the income
of the office would hardly justify
two men in running il and change
was expected. Mr.. Simpson WIS
offered the Tacoma agency during
his recent visit to Portland and only
accepted It after carefully Consider
ing the matter. During his two
years residence here he has made
many warm friends. Hehas learned
to ike the place and people better
than any place he has ever lived and
ii was h rdship upon him to de-
eide Ia the premises. His interests
aud and that Of his friend were at
stake and he at last concluded to
make the change. Grover Is bright,
clever gentleman, a friend we have
knuwnJby the back and we regret to
see him depart. Tacoma Is Il great
gamer by our loss, and we hope he
may find II pleasant berth at his new
station and the best Of fortune now
and forever. However, there Is one
gratifying feature in the change and
that il, Hal. Cole will remain with
us in the express office. Mr.. Cole,
like his late cO-partner, 80 to speak,
Is a royal gentleman, and one who
stands high in the confidence and
respect Of the people, He will have
charge Of the office, and we hope N
see him accumulate wealth as the
city takes on her new growth, and
stay with us the balance Of his days.

railroad says that the company is do
Ing a large amount Of rnilroad build
ing. II now has in course Of con-
struetlnn q line north Of Ioup

THE ReRtinel states that there are
more names on the petition before
the legislature than votes in the
county, Of course trying to give the
impression that the list is fraudu-
lent This Is an insult to every citi-
zen Of the county who signed the
petition. Spokane county has in
creased in population since last
election. Besides not one-tenth Of
the ladies of the county voted at
the last general election, and as they
are qualified voters their names ap-
pear on the petition. OF course there
is large excess over the majority Of
the vOtes In the county on the
petition, but that is the way the
people feel on the subject.

WITH the usual disregard for
truth the Cheney Sentinel says that
the remOnstrance before the legisla-
ture contains twO-thirds Of the tax
payers Of the county. This is per
fectly devoid OF truth, and a com.
parisOn Of the two lists with the tax
rolls OF the county will not only
show the names Of more taxpayers
on the petition but a taxable property
figuring up to two dollars TO one Of
that represented on the remon-
strance.

J. H. Boyd q Co, our well-known
hardware dealers, who were the sue
cessful bidders for putting down the
pipes for the extension Of the city
watd 6 mains, have completed their
eontract and the water test has
shown that the work has been done
IN a gOSd, substantial and workman
like nzanner. Much vexatious de-
lay and heavy additional expense
has been incurred by the failure Of
the contractors tO have the pipe on
the ground at the proper time. The
expense occurred through the cav-
ing nf the earth, some Of the bitches
having been dug several weeks he
fore the pipe got here, and the rains
coming on caused the gravely earth
10 cave badly. The contractors have
put In a bill Of $50 for this extra eL-
penBe.

Judge o. F. Weed, who was among

pie Of Spokane county on the ques-
tion Of the relocation Of the county

Mr.. Weed only had a few days to
spend at Olympia, as his contemplate
ed trip east necessitated his depart
ure by the middle Of this month, but
during his short stay at the territor-
iaI capital he did yOeman work. He
informed us that the situation In
this county was just fairly before the
members Of both houses. No pledges
were asked, yet every member up.
PREACHED admitted the justnass Oi
the bill aud expressed no disposition
to fight IL. The judge says that ev'
erything looks favorable for the sue
cess Of the measure, although there
Is an element working against i
that no one expected, but fortuna, e
ly from the feeling existing In the
territory that element has done u,
more good than harm. Mr.. Weed
feels satisfied that our delegates have
taken the correct position in The
manner Of bringing the matter be
fore the legislature and consider
that the bill will 60 through whOOp

In the last number Of the Occur d.
Alene Record we find the following
personal mention Of one Of our citi-
zens, which is not only neat but
well deserved compliments:
"While on a recent trip to the
South Fork, the reporter had the
pleasure Of meeting, at the hospit-
able home Of Col. Wallace, with
Mr.. II. N. Mccartney, viee-presi-
dent OF the first national hank nj

working several galena lOdes in the

proprie,ors Of and gave his personal
attention to the steamboat, which
starting from the Little Dalles on
the Columbia, ran 200 miles up that
river 10 Farwell, with construction
material and stones for the Canadian
Pacific; taking up altogether in the
summer Just passed, 3,OOO,OlO
pounds. When the season was over
the steamer was run through the
rapids Of the Little Ddlles to Kettle
Falls, twenty-six miles below, and
there bpached for the winter. Mr..
Mccartney has a good reputation Ms
All engineer, having done some
work for the Northern Pacific and
was also the one, who after a series
Of explorations, found and surveyed
the Selkirk mountain range, until
then considered Impossible. The
mines, or rather prospects Of the
South Fork pleased Mr.. Mccartney
quite well, although he saw but few
Of them, and he expressed de
termination to come again In u
spring. As an Intelligent and lih-
eral gentleman is an acquisition to
rny country, we hope he may
come to stay.
