Lake Navigation.

On Sunday J. II. Marks of Wardner
telephoned to A. l.. Schofeld that the
steamer had that afternoon arrived at
the Mission, and that the blockade
was over. This means that regular
trips'will now be resumed on the lake
for the transportation of passengers
and freight, over which the entire
camp can rejoice. The new steamer
has had rough experience, and il is
doubtful # she would have met ex-
pectations il the Chinook had not
come along in the very nick OF time
and rendered her great aid in the river,
by raising the stream and breaking the
ice. The Kootenai is q noble boat,
however, which was demonstrated in
her passage through 18-inch ice on the
lake during the severest weather ever
known in that region, and it is quite
probable that in moderate weather she
will accomplish the full object of her
designers and builders. We believe,
though, Mr.. Corbin made q mistake in
building her. The distance from
Occur dAlene City to the Mission by
water is about 65 miles. Through the
Fourth OF July canyon by rail, we are
informed, II IL. only Twenty-Five miles.
He could have built a railroad through
the canyon for at least three times the
cost of the steamer, so it is said, which
would have given an All-rail line from
the mines to Spokane Fails and the
Northern Pacific rai.road. The steam
er route also entails an expense which
should be avoided in the matter OF
freights, as the repeated handling is an
Improbable piece OF business in the
long run. II is TO be hoped that the
coming summer the link to IN all-ral
route will be supplied, and future
blockades made impossible for an ex.
tended period. We learn that there
is u large amount Of freight both ut
the Mission and at Occur d'A,eno
City awaiting transfer.-Murray Sim.

pose Of making on raise, yet both are

SPOKANE FALLS, FEB. ?. 1888.

"The Spokane Falls REVIEW, while
admitting the hopelessness of attempt
ing q keep pace with Tao ma, an
n0unces les will ngness to "stick to the
assertion that more money will be
spent in Spokane Falls this year for
improvements than In Tacoma" The

poets Of 81 okane are 30 bright, but
the REvIEw should remember that
"sticking 10" an assertion does not
prove its truth. 1t IL coin that speaks
in this littls matter Of improvements.
We will compare accounts next Janu.
ary. The record will be an eye opener
for the REVIEW"
The above is from the Tacoma
Ledger, and II is safe TO say that next
January the paper will not be so
anxious tO compare accounts" This
10 clearly proven In the failure Of the
Ledger to acknowledge that in ECON.
pairing accounts" last January Spo-
kane Falls led Tacoma by over $780,.
600 in building improvements. This
was such an ".ye opener" to the
Ledger that the paper has taken pains
to overlook il. With this recent case
fresh in our memory, how a.0 we to
know that the Ledger will be willing
next January TO honestly compare
accounts" We do not believe that il
will have the courage at that date to
publish the total improvements OF the
two cities side by side any more than
IL did this year. We care not how
much Tacoma grows. Indeed
we trust that every city
in the territory will find 1888
. season Of universal prosperity. Ia
coma is too ~ away to have any det-
yimental influence with the growth Of
Spokane. We still stick to the asser-
tion that this city will be shoulder to
shoulder and columns OF figures to
columns oi figures in the matter of
growth ut the end OF this year with
what he Ledger takes delight in call
ing the City of Destiny. That place
has too great n start for Spokane to
pass her in single season, and we
have the honesty to admit that such
an increase is next to impossible; yet,
at tine same time, we believe that Ta-
coma will make no further gain-this
year, at least, and what is more, the
REVIEW will be fair enough, at the
end OF the season, to acknowledge
the corn il the fiourishing city
on the soand manages to outstrip the
Falls during the months of the new
year.

TO pause before making that step.
