yards, ara cndravoring to rectify the
injury that that territory has su i
tanned through the terrible death rec
ord of the cold spell by denying that
any number of people were frozen to
death. No doubt by the 4th of July
they will declare that there was no
cold weather during the previous win
ter to speak Of. BY misrepresen-
tations tn Jusands of people have been
induced to settle in Dakota. They
were told that the climate was mild
and delightful the year round. These
people have discovered to their sorrow
that they were most egregiously inn
posed upon and the tales OF their suf
ferings repeated in the East have
brought the whole northwest into dis
repute, AMI will have it's effect in cur
failing the emigration this year. The
result of the cold weather in Dakota
will cause many to hesitate before
starting west, and it will require con-
siderable time to disabuse the minds
Of the people of the eastern states of
the idea that the climate Of Dakota is
that Of the entire far west. In the
meantime it will be almost impossible
for the press of Dakota to convince
the country that there is 10 danger
to be feared from the blizzard when
the admitted number of deaths foots
up to III, while the actual number
chargeable to the frjghtful cold will
never be known.

In calmly considering the result o
the bloody combat that has made
Newman lake spot always in the
future to be spoken OF in connection
with the horrible butchery enacted
upon its beautiful shores, one is struck
with the remarkable bravery, pluck
and craftsmanship displayed by the
three combatants, who surrendered
their lives in defense of small frac-
ton of land that not man in this
city would live ON for it. These
marked characteristics may not con-
tain balm to cool the smarting pain
of sorrow into which two or three
families are engulfed, but it demon
strates that courage is not an un-
known attribute among the men Of
this day. None of the participants
would have been picked out as deg
perate men. There was nothing Of
the braggadocia, bad-man display
about them. They were not bar room
brawlers, staggering roughs, men who
had made "a record with the revolver.
On the contrary those who knew
them as neighbors speak of
the men in the highest terms.
They were respected for their many
sterling qualities, and were peaceful,
quiet men. Aud yet, when it came to
facing denth, these three men never
shirked the issue. Probably their
pulses did not even tbrob n beat more
rapidly than in their normal condi-
ton. Indeed TO do such shooting
they must have been as coola though
tney We're firing at game instead OF
taking human life. No sign Of fear,
no shrinking at the supreme moment,
no weakening even after the leaden
messengers had struck deep into the
very fountain of life. 1t is deeply to
be deplored that such lives should be
surrendered in so poor cause, and
even while we condemn the acts that
brought about such fearful results we
cannot help expressing feeling of
respect for such display OF undaunted
and iudomitable pluck.

"UHTrL within the last year or SO
Spokane Falls has had the reputation
OF being u very healthy place. The
death roll OF the past few months
however has been startling and natur-
ally leads to tho conclusion that th:re
must be something radically wrong
with the sanitary system OF the CITY,"
So saith the Murray Record and in
saying that our estee ned exchange
does this place great injustice. 1t is
true there are more cases of sickness
reported OF late than formerly, but
that is because Of the great increase of
population, and naturally there are a
greater number of cases to report.
This sickness, in IL measure, can be at.
tributed to defective sanitary regula-
tions, but the authorities are taking
action in the matter of better pro-
lection to health and thorough
cleaning up will have it's effect in de-
crcasing the dangers Of sicki.ess. Spo-
kiineFalls is as healthy generally as
any town OF its size in the country.

ord. As feat Of endurance this sur g.
passes any walk ever undertaken in
the world At the outset there were
some forty-eight hopeful athle es who
dashed briskly around the circle on
the long tramp, but day 10y day com
petitors fell by the wayside, until only
were on their feet the lust hours. The
number Of miles Travelled Is simply won
dcrful and it is astonishing how men
can endure such a strain or live under
the seli-innicLed punishmt mt. III
proof that they .uIler~ great
agony needs only the appearance
of tho men at tho close ol
such undertakings. They limp along
with only the most tortuous exertions
and every step inilicts pain reflected
from their haggard countenances
The successful ones are well paid fOr
their suffering, and the honor of sur.
passing all pedestrians may be balm
for all thsachcs that accompany so
long n tranlp. In the early days OF
pedestrianism, when such men az
Weston, O'Leiry and others attracted
widespread attention for the distance
accomplished in given periods OF time,
the feat Of making the record that
Albert is credited with was considered
II physical impossibili,y. GRADUALLY
the number of miles have increased
until it would seem that Albert had
reached the extreme limit of human
endurance. Probably few years
hence someone will come to the front
who will surpass Albert as far as he
has beaten the official scores of those
who tread the cindered circle dozen
years ago. However, until that time
comes the score to the credit OF Al.
bert can be sat down as great and
astonishing display of speed and ply.
sical prowess.

does not propose to take any chances
of being unpreparcd in the event u

Hon. EUGENE J. FELLowEs, who
represented this district in the lower
house OF the legislature, has at last re-
turned to the city, where he is cor
daily welcomed by the majority of our
citizens irrespective OF party. This
was not Mr.. Fellowes' first experience
as a legislator, as he served one term
very creditably in the Illinois legisla-
turc. During the late session of the
territorial law makers this gentleman
made very enviable record. He
won the esteem of his fellow members
and the press gang from the very
outset, and no member has received
such flattering notices from the press
as has Mr.. Fellowes. He was one of
the workers of the body, and he was
always ready to defend his position,
whether ia the affirmative OF negative.
He WAS an acknowledged leader in his
party and his vote and voice was reg
istered on the side Of public interests.
In selecting Mr.. Fellowes, the people
of Spokane were fortunate. While a
man of strong convictions, he did not
stand up against the expressed
wishes of his constituency, but
acted for them, not for himself. He
WAS in the true sense representative
OF the people. As Republican We
