Strides This Year.
A Few Items In Regard to the Pro.

activity this spring and summer in
the building hue, both in the way Of
public ediflres and residences. No
one has doubted for a moment the
renewal Of the great growth that
burst upon Spokane Falls so sudden-
iy and left such monuments Of per-
manent prosperity in the spring of
'sS. The persistent development Of
the city during last year, when times
were so dreadfully hard, settled for
one and for all the future Of the
place. That growth during the dark
est hours Of depression was Il har-
binger Of what Is to occur in 1886.
No man can be found who will eX-
press Il question OF doubt as to the
changes to be wrought by the hands
Of the artisan In very few weeks.
Whenever party collects together
the general theme is the proposed
new building boom, and everybody
has IA new name Of some party pro-
posing to invest in architectural or
namentatiOn. 1t is impossible at
present to numerute all the new
buildings proposed, as We have not
positive data to work on.
W. N. woLvERToN,
gentleman who has been identified
with the city for years and who has
always been eng ,ged in the hard
ware business, will work great
chang in the appearance Of River
side avenue. Himself and his broth
ers erected the arst brick house in
the. city, at the southeast corner Of
River ide avenue and Mill street,
which came within an ace OF being
destroyed by fire something over
year ago. Mr.. WOlvertOn will
put up a new twO-story brick on the
ground between his present brick
and RudOlph's bakery. 1t will have
a frontage Of 81 feet and a depth Of
s feet. The brick will contain but
one store room, which will make it
