appearance that was depicted upon the
countenances of the citizens the day
before. Everyone was actively engaged
In doing what could be done.
There was no little excitement when
it was learned that three Of the leading
banking institutions had purchased
property on the corner OF Howard and
Riverside avenue, paying an amount
aggregattng 100000. This fact seemed
to infuse new life into everybody, and
even those who were the most disheart-
ened on Monday, wore pleasant smile
and commenced to predict a grand fu-
ture for our city.
A REVIEW reporter interviewed
member of citizene with regard to the
future of Spokane Falls. All were unan-
imous in saying that the
PROSPECTS WE'RE BETTER
than ever, and that as fast as material
could be secured and put into the form
of buildings, the work of rebuilding the
city would progress. They are inspired
with renewed confidence by the faith ex-
hibited by outside capitalists, who are

DR.. Burch said the prospects were
brighter than ever; men will go TO work,
and they are already at work The only
thing that can possibly hinder the pro

d. II. Dwight, in reply to the question
How do you regard the future OF. our
city?" replied: Spokane Falls will be
LARGER THAN EVER.
We will build her wayup. The Dwight,

be pushed night and day.
j. Hanauer one of the proprietors of

as bright as ever. They will open up a
store IN temporary quarters and intend
to build as soon as possible. Having
faith in the city's rebuilding and going
right ahead, they have

L. Dempsey said he was not in the
least discouraged and expected to re-es-

than ever Of the OPT ion that Spokane
Falls would be great city.
the reporter who said TO him: mir.
Connor, you are able to build II hand
some brick, why don't you take the
lead?" and he replied: "Yes, | think
all of us that are able, should go ahead
and lea the way TO encourage others.
If we do so this city will soon have
an entire business center composed of
brick and stone and we shall look back
on this fire as sort of blessing in dis
guise."
ID. Drumheller said: "You may quote
me as saying that | propose to

development than ever. g. B. King,

J. Brownies said he was satisfied that
Mr.. Browne would commence at once TO
erect new building on the site recently
occupied by his old block, and that II
would undoubtedly cover more ground
and be finer building than ever.
Henry l.. Tilton said that he and Mr..
Kaufman had been examining the walls
that remain from their old building, the
postoftice block, and that they had con-
cluded to erect a new structure, to be
one or two stories niger than the old one,
He further said that they expected to
commence operations at once.
l.. Z. Dillman regards the situation as
bright one, and is firmly of the faith
that Spokane Falls will rapidly come up
out of the ashes and be the metropolis
of the Northwest. Mr.. Dillman re-
marked: although the entire busi-
ness portior Of our city has been de-
stroyed, our
PLUCK AND ENERGIES
remain" He expects to erect some
buildings as soon as possible.
James N. Glover said: 1.-The outlook
is very cheerful. The people are much
more hopeful after the excitement of the
fire has died down. The aggregate sum
of 500. 900 has been paid for properly on
the corner of Riverside and Howard, and
as soon as material can be procured and
men can work, new buildings will go
up, which means that Others will
follow. The buildings at this point
are to be magnificent structures to
brick, iron and stone. Outside capital
lists finding that the men who built up
the city have faith In its future pros
poets, have no hesitancy In furnishing
money for legitimate purposes, and when
the capitalists see these men coming
promptly forward to
REBUILD TIRE CITY
after such disasterous confagration,
their faith Is renewed. The city will go
right up and be grandcr than ever"
II. l.. Wilson,: ~ recognize that the
calamity is great, but the enterprise and
public spirit of the citizens is far greater

fail to take hold OF the disaster and bring
