THE representatives from this dis
trict will probably reach home to-day.
They are Councilman Barker and
Representative Fellowes Of this county,
and Representative McMillan, OF Ste
vens county. 1t can be said OF tn Sc
gentlemen that they used every en-
deavor TO act in accordance with .he
views Of II majority of their constitu-
ents. They are all Dem ocrats. yet
they were not elected entirely by
Democratic votes, for had their chances
for election depended solely upon the
strength of the party in the district,
they never would have reached
the Offices. Elected by the people they
felt in duty bound to represent those
supporting them at the polls. and TO
their credit be it SAID, they have in
most instances registered their votes
on the right side, especially upon the
more important subjects OF legislation.
They will meet with hearty welcome
from the people of this district on
their return home.

SPOKANE FALLS, FEB, .. 1888.

IT has been customary for the local
press on all occasions where any pub
lie improvements sugg sted them
selves to speak right out and advise
the council To do this, that and the
other. This has not been done in n
dictstorial spirit, but has been urged
as public necessity. No doubt the
ccuncilmen are wide awake to the
various requirements of the city in
the line of Improvements, and these
editorial hints have been thrown out
to spur them on to action. Possibly
We have not taken into consideration
one important point in this incessant
urging to invest in certain greatly
needed i'm provements, and that is the
lack OF funds at the command Of the
council. All street work and additions
TO various branches of the municipal
service require money, and lots of it..
The coGncil has been handicapped by
= depleted treasury. 1t must be taken
INTO consideration that running city
the size of Spokane Falls costs large
sum, no matter how closely the au-
thorities may economize. The town
is new and it will not do to run too
deeply in debt, or put on too heavy a
tax. There are many things to he
supplied, and they must be secured
gradually. The council is doing all
in its power with the means at COM
mand. The members feel that i'm
conducting public business they
should exercise the same care as they
do in their private business, and have
done as we'll MS any men could in that
position,

ACCORDING to the wording of the
woman suffrage bill as it originally
passed the legislature women were ex-
empt rom serving on juries. On the
last day of the session special bill
was passed exempting women from
Jury service. This seems rather sim
gular procedure and is hard to account
for unless there has been mistake in
the suffrage bill as published.

INSIDE real estate is steadily increas-
ing i'm value much to the satisfaction
of buyers. The advance, however, is
not unnatural. 1t is the logical effects
of rapid and expensive improvements.
Business property is not really high in
comparison with other cities that do
not possess anything like the pros
poets OF Spokane Falls. The figures
seem unreasonable because only II few
years ago the city was uninhabited.
With the prospective buildings about
to be erected, property could not be
expected to retain its old price and the
natural consequences it will go to
much higher figures thar the present
values.

as enduring monuments to the faith
and enterprise OF our monied men.

In the local columns will be found
brief account of the complications
now existing in the U. s. land Office
located in this city. The charge against
the public official who is short in his
accounts is n great surprise. He has
been resident of the county for
many years, having lived here for two
years and prior to that time made. his
home at Cheney, where most OF his
bondsmen reside, and has had the
confidence of those who knew
him. A thorough eveIhauling
OF the books will be necess'r
before the exact shortage is known,
and until that time full statement
cannot be given to the public. Besides

As the city does not seem to have
the funds on hand to make the ex-
tended street repairs sadly needed
just at the present time in the shape
Of heavy coating of gravel for por-
tions Of Howard and Sprague streets

an improvement if the muddy places
were scraped of. This would not re-

many per cent to the appearance of
those great and important public
thoroughfares.

will be spent in street improvements
during the present season. This

and every block OF street grading adds

A PUBLIC MEETING
This Evening to Consider Postponing the
Army of West Virginia Reunion.

This Evening to Consider PostPoning the
Army Of West Virginia Reunion.
A public meeting Of citizens has been
called to meet at the Chamber of Com.
merce this evening to consider prop.
osition to waive all claim to the next IN.
nual meeting of the Society of the Army
OF West Virginia, with the understand
ing that the annual meeting for 1880 is
to be held here. Last iall, when the
Society held its eleventh reunion here,
It was unanimously resolved to come to
Wheeling again this year. The meeting
was one Of the grandest and notable
gatherings the Society had ever known,
and it was made such largely through
the enterprise and and hospitality shown
by the people OF Wheeling. The fact
that II was good thing in more ways
than one for the city to have such a
gathering held here was generally up.
preCiated, aud the desire to have another
was almost universal. II was felt thut
with the experience had in managing
the 1887 reunion, the one in 1888 could
be made still greater success. The
Society was so well pleased with its re-
ception here that there was no hesitancy
| ieft in resolving to come back to such
hospitable quarters.
Shortly after the reunion here in 1887
the Grand Army Of the Republicheld its
annual encampment at st. Louis, and re.
solved to meet this year in Columbus,
The dates selected for this meeting were
Just one week later than those selected
for the reunion of the Society of the
Army Of West Virginia here. A short
time ago the Society's executive commit
tee was requested to arrange for having
the Society's reunion for 1888 ut Colum.
bus ut the same time the q. A. Il. held
its encampment. This was done with Il
view toipreventing u clashing OF interests
and having one grand big meeting OF all
old soldiers instead OF two that might
possibly not be well attended, for the
reason that those who would attend one
would not feel able to attend both.
The Executive Committee in charge
OF the q. A. r. Encampment made Il
proposition TO the society 4 committee u
this effect: They offered to purchase OF
r0nt the big tent and the rest of the
paraphernalia belonging to the Society,
and 10 insure Wheeling as the place
where the society will meet in 1888.
The SOciety's committee fAvors this
proposition, but is unwilling to assume
the entire responsibility Of ordering the
change of place Of meeting, and accord,
ingly has called the meeting for tonight
with the intention OF leaving the matter
to the people. The committee has re-
ceived number of communication
from members of old soldiers organia
tions md g. A. Il, posts who regretful
~ declined attending the meeting OF the
Society here on the ground that they
are pledged to attend the q. A, X
encampment ut Columbus one week
later. One reason advanced for having
the next Wheeling meeting postponed
till 1889 is, that by that time all politica
campaigns will be over and the people
will come from all directions irrespective
OF political affiliations,
