HE LIKES THE PLACE
Opinion of a Newcomer Concern
ing the Advantages of Spo-
kane Falls.
A Wonderful Place Which Is
Bound to Go Ahead From
Its Own Weight.

Mr.. d. Sterling, who arrived here
recently from Vancouver, B. g., was
81 much impressed with the ud,
vantnges of Spokane Falls immc-
diately upon his arrival, that he at
once decided to locate and engage i'm
business. In letter to friend,
MIR. ID. Craig of Vancouver, B, G.,
Mr.. Sterling gives his opinion of
Spokane Falls as follows:
"When we were last In Yale to.
gether l promised to write on ar.
rival, and give you my opinion of
Spokane, with IL view towards in
vesting some loose cash you had to
spare. Well, my dear boy, to begin
with may safely SAY this is IA Won
derful place, You would scarcely
credit me were I to tell YOU tho
amount Of business going on, the
large and magnificent blocks of
granite and brick thut are going up,
and the splendid country that sur
rounds the city. In addition to the
ordinary horse-tar we have cable,
steam and electric motors stretching
out to every part of and far beyond
the city limits to the beautiful parks,
which are fast being built up with
palatial residences.
"As Il railway man, suppose YOU
would like to hear something about
our roads, Outside Of the y. p. X.
IL. we have the q. II. Il ~, making
s'lose connection with the u. r.,
giving swift and reliable service.
1--WE have the Spokane d North
ern, which will tap the Canadian
Pacific inside of "A year, and last,
though not least the Great Northern,
which will give fifth through line
to the coast. How does this catch
you? OF course every one has heard
of the Spokane river, which, run
ming through the center of the city,
gives no end Of motive power TO
mills, factories and industries of all
kinds.
'If you will take the trouble to
glance at the map rou will find that
from Helena, 400 miles To the cast
ward, To Portland, Tacoma and Sc
attic on the westward, there IL no
other city being built that will or
can rival Spokane Falls, which has
the stnrt OF everything, and will go
ahead Of Its own weight If from no
other cause. ! tell you, old man,
we have often heard of Yankee 90
and enterprise, but this is revelu-
tion.o

THE Ex-EMPEROR
Arrives In London and Declines to
Interviewed.


. LONDON, Nov. 30.--The Portuguese
steamer Alagous, with ex-Emperor Dom
Pedro and party on board, arrived at st.
Vincent to-day. All members of the
party are we'll.
Upon the arrival of the Alagoas at st.
Vincent, Cape Verde Islands, an attempt
~as made to interview Dom Pedro con
cerning the events that lcd to his deposi-
ton and exile. He declined, however,
to enter into any discussion relative to
the revolution, but stated he had been
treated with the utmost kindness
throughout. Tho Alagoas will proceed
for Lisbon tomorrow.
When the steamer arrived at st. Vim
cent shc was flying the new flag Of the
United States of Brazil. Tie Hag re-
manned hying until the BRAZILIAN vice
consul boarded her and informed the
captain that the provisional govern

and the flag was not to he hoisted at st.

The officers of tho steamer, not hav-

declined to make change. They,
however, immediately sent a cable
dispatch to Rio de Janeiro, ask

the fiag, pending the arrival OF which

THE LEGISLATURE HAS ADJOURNED

OLYMPIA, Nov. 30.--The house went
on another industrial tact to-day and
refused to adjourn ut noon until 9
o'clock Monday. The senate also hes.
itated to adjourn until p. NJ. Monday.
The house passed another bill to-day,
in place of the one introduced by Judson
OF Whatcom, appropriating $4,000 to
pay the expenses of the session. When
1t was on its final passage Eddy made
the discovery that the bill needed an
emergency clause to put it into effect as
soon as II was approved. He said the con.
stitution will bear him out on this.
"Will the gentleman please read from
the constitutions" asked Geoghegan.
The information will help the house
out in the future"
Eddy read as follows from article 9,
section 81; mo law except appropria-
ton bills shall take effect until ninety
days aitcr"-then it dawned on him that
he was wrong and dropped into his scat
amid laughter.
Gcoghegan offered n bill in the house
today TO provide for tho payment of the
legislators. 1t directs the state auditor
to draw warrants on the state treasurer

dian passes through Western Dakota,
Nebraska and Kansas. Thus the United
states grew to he "A great nation with ir-
rlgation practically lost art As the
tide of emigration rolled Westward the
border land of the great arid region was
ut last reached. Here. nature seemed to
call halt. But the indoniitable spirit
OF adventure and the wild fascination
OF gold and silver mining led the
more adventurous TO invade even that
vast and inhospitable region. Soon tho
brave frontiersmen who composed this
host OF fortune seekers were driven by
the sheer force of circumstances to agri.
culture by irrigation. Thus "a wealth of
soil was discovered far in excess of the
wealth of tho mine, and within the last
year the important fact has dawned
upon the country that the reclamation
of the agricultural lands of the arid re-
gion opens up the last and perhaps the
most important chapter in the history
of the, subiugation of wild lands to the
use of civilized man upon this continent.
The area of agricultural lands susccpt-
ible OF reclamation by means of irriga-
tion is variously estimated at from 125,-
100000 to 100000 900 acres. Even 126,-
OO,O 900 acres Is sufficient for the agricul-
tural area ofa mighty empire. 1t Is nine
times the area of the improved land In
farms in Pennsylvania, eight that of
New York, and 60 per cent more than
that of all the New England states, New
York, New jersey: Pennsylvania, Dola-
ware Maryland, Virginia, North Caro-
lima, South Carolina, Georgia and Flori.
da combined. But every aero of irrigat-
cd land is about twice us productive us
lands dependent upon tho natural rain
fall. This has been demonstrated be-
yond all doubt by thousands of brave
settlers who, under the provisions of our
desert land law, have already reclaimed
about 7,OOo0W acres of land by means of
irrigation.
The great practical question which
now gonironts the country Is, How can
we, by a large and Comprehensive
scheme of irrigation, reclaim fror, no.
ooo,0OO to zoo, 900, 600 acres more of this
vast region? Happily we are not LETT to
the uncertain results of the tentative en-.
tcrprise in the attempt to solve this
great problem of the age, for il has been
solved again, and again in other coun-
tries, and under natural conditions quite
similar to those which characterize the
arid region ol the United States.
At last the people of this country are
iuily awake to the fact. that they must
grapple with conditions in the arid
region similar to those which have been
boldly met and successfully overcome
by the nations of antiquity and by ma
tions of the present day in Asia, Africa
and Southern Europe. But such
achievement clearly opens UP to us as a
nation grand development and as plon-
did future.

FISH AND BIRD IN DEATH GRIP.
A kingfsher Seized by q Picksrei
and Both Are Killed.

A kingilshcr sat ON Il branch of dead
tree on the edge OF Lake keuke the
other day near fairchild's Point, watch
ing for his dinner, says u Hammond
sport, y. y, special. A black bass
fisherman was in his boat in the cove
only two or three rods above the
spot where the bird was sitting. he
quit fishing, and kept his eye on the
kingfisher curious to see the bird dive
for its fish when the time came. lie
had to wait but short time, for fish
came within the line of the kinghsher's 5
vision, and the bird dropped like stone
into the water and disappeared
beneath the surface. II reappeared
almost immediately with fish
impalcd in its strong, speur-like beuk.
The birds body had scarcely come to the
to the service, however, when it disup.
peared again with "A suddenness that left
no doubt that it had been jerked back by
something that had scizcdit. The king
fisherman rowcd to the spot
where 1t had gone down to
see If he could find an cxplana-
ton OF the birds extraordinary disap-
pearance, A dead pckerel, about eight
inches long, was floating ON the water
hole through It's body below the dor
sal tin showed plainly enough that the
pickcrel was the fish the kinghshcr had
spearcd. The fisherman driited about
the spot for some time, but being
unable to discover anything that
would solve tho mystery OF tho
birds disappearance was turning his
boat to row back to the cove when
something came to the surface near the
shore twenty-five yards below. The
fisherman rowed down to the spot and
to his surprise found an immense pick
crel and with it the kingtishcr. One of
the kingiishers legs was between the
great jaws OF the pickcrel, the
latter's long teeth being set through it,
The kingfisher's long, keen bill was
thrust through the pickerels body from
side tn side, six inches below the head.
The situation explained ITSELF The pick
crcl had seized tho kingiisher as it
was rising from the water with the
small fish and pulled it back beneath
the surface, expecting to dine on it.
Tho big bird had instinctivcly turned
and jabbcd its hoax through the pick
erel, intiicting fatal wound The
pickerel with the bulldog tenacity of
Its kind, had kept its hold on the bird =
leg, and the two had died together and
tloated to the surface. The position of
the two was not changed, and they have
been sent to Rochester taxiderinist to
be preserved and mounted as they ap-

HOME FROM CHICAGO.
What Ia Known Of spokane There
Clara Poole King Coming,

j. p. Graves, of the firm of Clough
& Graves, returned yesterday from
Chicago, where he went two weeks
ago in company with w. II. Taylor
and A. A. Newbery. Mr.. Graves
father and mother OF Plymouth, III. =,
accompanied him home, and will
spend the winter here.
Mr.. Graves says IL is surprising
how many people in the East know
Of Spokane Falls. Ho met numer-
Gus friends in Chicago, who have
Interests in Spokane Falls, and they
guve him more moneyto invest, and
n number of them will come out in
the spring to settle down pernla-
nently.
Among other people whom Mr..
Graves met In Chicago were Mrs.
Clara Poole King, the celebrated
cOntrato singer, and husband.
Both said they had heard so much
of Spokane Falls that they were de-
termined to come out and see II for
themselves. Mr.. King desires to
make SOME Investments here, being
a gentleman of abundant financial
resources Before Mr.. Graves came
away MT' anu Nhrs. NtnX na0 de-
cided to come to Spokane Falls to
spend the winter, aud they in
structed Mr.. Graves to secure winter
quarters for them upon his arrival
home.
Mr.. Taylor and Mr.. Newbery,
who went to Chicago for the pur-
pose of securing a competent hotel
man TO assume the management of
"The Spokane" which is to be
opened on February IA, did not re-
turn with Mr.. Graves. Mr.. Taylor
is expected home to-day. Mr.. New
berry Is returning by way of San
Francisco.
Mr.. Graves says he found snow
all along the road ON his way home
until he reached Idaho, and when
he passed through Fargo, Oak,
the mercury stood at % degrees be-
low zero,
