THE SKY BRIGHTENS,

The great disaster occurred Sunday
evening. Monday the citizens stood
aghast for a time but promptly came to-
gether to devise arrangements for pro-
tecting property in the burnt district
and to provide for the relief of those left
destitute by the fire. Some took little
needed rest Monday night and came
forth yesterday morning to meet their
fellowcitizens and confer with them as TO
plans and purposes. The bank vaults
had by this time cooled off sufficiently
to be opened and the contents were all
found 10 be in well preserved condition.
Any fear and doubt that had existed
upon this subject passed away at an
early hour in the day. This was little
rift in the lowering cloud, and as the
hours drew on toward MONDAY its
brightness grew, and broadened on the
sky until the future of Spokane Falls
seemed like the sunseine on summers $
day.
The first step in the manifestation of
confidence was on the part of Warren
Hussey and his associates in the Spo-
kane National bank, who purchased the
southeast corner of Howard and River.
side for $50, 900, this being at the rate Of
$1,000 q foot. Then came the Traders
National and purchased the southwest
corner of the same streets for even
higher price per foot and quickly fol-
lowing this transaction the First Ma
tional purchased the northwest corner of
the same streets for $4,000 AS these
purchases were made in the presence of
sInoldering ruins it was evident to all
that the city of Spokane Falls was itself
again. About the time these transactions
were going on numerous citizens came
with kilograms in their hands Just re-
ceived from prominent capitalists and
various investment companies in the
East offering any amount of money
needed to rebuild the city and upon
easy terms. AS the day grew toward
night many property owners
were heard to express their
intention of rebuilding at once, and in
many instances commencement was
made by clearing up the ground. Cour-
age and cheerfulness filled tho hearts of
all. II was remembered that Boston
and Chicago and other cities had grown
stronger in the presence of similar adj
vcrsity and that Spokane Falls differs
from other cities only in exceeding all

AND now if the Northern Pacific
would come to the front and change its
line SO as to run up the river front and
erect fine freight and passenger depot
on the eastern edge of town il would
give the city of Spokane Fails a tre-
mcndous lift that would be appreciated.
1t has million and half dollars
worth OF ground where the tracks are
now situated, and this would purchase
a right of way up the river, and the
people here would help to have the
grant of the present right of way con-
tirmed by congress if necessary, and
this action and other deeds of kindness
on the part of the Northern at this
time would produce a better feeling
toward tn road on the partof our
people than now exists. 1t is be-
lieved that President Oakes and other
officials of the company will be disposed
TO kindly consider any proposition that
will assist Spokane Falls in rebuilding.
But independent of this, the fact that the
company would thus bring its road close
TO the tonnage of the city and relieve it
from the necessity of maintaing force
of watchmen to guard the crossings and
from the constant risk of some terrible
accident, would perhaps be deemed suf-
ticent inducement for the change if the
matter was brought well to the COM
pany's attention at this time.

MIsCHIEyOUs BLAND.
His Influence with Red Cloud Stop
ming signatures.

WAsHINeroN, Aug. 6.-Maj. Pollock,
of the interior department, who was sent
to Pine Ridge agency to inquire into tho
causes of the strong opposition there to
the opening of the Sioux reservation and
TO see If some way could not be found
to neutralize the mischievous influence
of DIR. Bland with Red Cloud, has re-
turned and made his report to the secre-
tary. Mr.. Noble will not make the re-
port public, but he says Major Pollock s
mission was practically fruitless, and
that no further steps will be taken to
accomplish its object. The secretary
believes, however, that sufficient num-
ber of signatures will be obtained at the
other agencies to make up the requisite
three-fourths of the whole without get.
ting any more at Pine Ridge, and that
the reservation will be opened without
the need of further legislation. The Sec
retdrd has great confidence in Gen.
Crook, and was impressed with the just
ness and yigor of his speech to the
Standing Rock Indians. II is proper to
say that some of the subordinates of the
Indian Office, who have been in the SER
vice longer than the secretary, do not
share his confidence in the ultimate
success of the commission.

WILL, RISE AGAIN.

When we consider the magnitude of
the disaster that has befsllen our city
the fortitude displayed on all hands is
remarkable and indicative of our future.
Although ourlosses are appalling exceed
ing any that have heretofore afflicted an
American city, yet our resources-our
naturafresources-remained unimpaired.
Spokane Falls amid the desolation of
smoldering embers and fallen walls, is
to-day what she was yesterday, the city
of magnificent water power, the con-
verging center of a vast network of rail-
roads, the supply depot of the great
Ceur d'Alene mines, the distributing
point for an empire of agricultural
wealth. But above all her other
resources, Spokane Falls counts most
confidently upon the energy and pro
grcssive spirit of those whose past
loyalty to her interest has given her II
national reputation. We have lost much,
but there are those among us who can
remember time when we had less than
is now left US. We believe those now
here will in comparatively short time
see more beautiful and sub
stantial city than was yesterday
swept away. Let courage--courage al
ways courage--continue TO be our watch
word.

GLASGOW LODGE, Spokane Falls, Aug.
6.-EDGToR REVIEW: My absence from
acting personally with my fellow citi-
zens in our present deep concern in the
interests of the future of our city, Is
caused by continued illness and con
sequent inability to leave my home, but
| am with you with all my heart, and
feel that there is bright future for our
Queen City. Let us then disallow the
erection of my more wooden buildings
in the fire district, excepting for tenn
porary purposes, and to be removed after
Il specified time.
The presence hitherto of so many
wooden buildings has been felt by all to
be n constant menace to the safety of
the business part of our city, and our
severe visitation proves that now is the
time TO build permanently and to widen
and straighten streets where necessary
There are few, if any, cities in our conn
try, which are now permanently built
that have not at one time passed through
the fiery affliction that has visited us .
therefore let us take courage and lose no
time in erecting nothing but permanent
structures, and in n very short time all
will see our city growing more rapidly
into Importance than ever she has done
in the past. Yours truly,

THE Republican Territorial committee,
at recent meeting, designated Spokane
Falls as the place for holding the terri
torial convention, and fixed the time,
September 9Th prox. The secretary OF
the committee yesterday wired q mess
age inquiring whether We could enter
tain the convention. A number of re-
publicans were consulted and the an
swer was sent, saying that wehad plenty
of halls but no hotels. Many here
favor North Yakima as the best place
under the present circumstances. 1t is
nearly central and it has new and
commodious hotel. Let it be held there

CONSIDERING THE AsPIRANTS.

The occasion Is ripe for the discussion
of men to be put forward as candidates
for the various positions under the new
state government and it is observed that
many of the territorial papers are just
now indulging In this exercise. The
following from the Seattle Times may
afford a glimpse of the situation as
viewed from the west side.
From present appearances three we'll
known republicans will be candidates
before the general convention of the
or nve weeks hence--for nomination as
representative in congress. They hail
respectively from Spokane, Goldendale
and Port Townsend locally representing
Eastern, Middle and Western Washing
ton.
John L. Wilson is prominent candi-
date from Spokane, X. D. Dunbar Is the
candidate from Goldendale, and Allen
Weir of Port Townsend will urge the
claims of the west. The first and last
named gentlemen have never SO far as
we are aware, been candidates for office
before a territorial convention. Their
aspiration to represent this people in
congress Is honorable, becoming,
healthy, fresh and vigorous. They are
young, intellectual, active republicans,
and may be relied upon either In sue
cess or defeat.
Mr.. Dunbar is we'll known both TO the
politicians and older residents of this
territory: He has been n regular at
tendant in conventions of the party,
and occupied somewhat prominent
position therein for series of
years. His name, has been sue
cessively but unsuccessfully pre-
sented-if we remember correctly.-at
the three last conventions of his party,
as candidate for delegate in congress.
lie has many friends, and If he has not
Joined the "trust,' may yet be called
upon to represent the state of Washing
ton in congress.
Our morning contemporary, the Post
lntelligencer, supports Mr.. Dunbar. We
note with unalloycd pleasure the fact
that in advocating his availability, fit
ness and claims, II has not, as was the
case last year in pressing Mr.. Allen 5
candidaey--shut and barred the door OF
honorable ambition against all other
members of the republican party in
TINS new state. IL may therefore be
permissible for Messrs. Wilson and
Weir to seek an honorable office without
being denounced as unfit men, or stig
matiaed as impossible candidates. -
Upon this change of method, If not of
heart, our contemporary should be
congratulated. Much more so, how
ever the republican party, which, while
willingly listening to argument, while
apt aud prompt to follow Intelligent and
unseltish leadership, cannot be dra-
gooned into blind obedience nor com
PEELED to worship at the shrine of any
individual ambition.

THE most thoroughly disgusted man
in the United States to-day is probably
Robert A. n. Harvey of Calispel, who
reported the Indian depredations on the
hay lands in that valley to the interior
department. at Washington, through In
dian Agent Cole, at Fort Spokane. The
news OF the outrages came back from the
national capital by telegraph, and was
printed in all the papers between the At
lantic and the Pacific over the signature
of Ran Harpey. Mr.. Harvey's chirog-
raphy is not strictly spencerian, but his
signature can be distinguished from the
photograph ofa trychine spiralis, and
it is doubtful if he win ever pardon the
telegrapher for the preparation of this
inexcusable blunder.

failed to respond to the call of time, and
the decision of Referee RidgInan went to
the present champion. AT through the
contest the fighting was fast and furious,
O'Brien showing wonderful cleverness,
but displaying lack of hitting power
that was possessed by his antagonist.
The winner got 80 per cent of the re.
ceipts, which amounted TO nearly $500,
the other half being divided between tho

THE devastation wrought by the for
est fires in the mountains throughout
the Northwest again suggests the i'm
portance of stringent precautionary
measures in summer time and the Sc
we're punishment of all persons found
guilty of wantonly setting out fires dur
ing the prevalence of dry weather. The
government, too, would be justified in
adopting measures for the protection of
the timber on public lands, as millions
