solid as the rock Of ages.

dition to the bar of Spokane county that

horse. This is one OF the best animals in
the county, and when Sandy shows up on

Prof. F. NJ. Spain, Of Spokane Falls,

member of the board of education at the
Falls, and prominently connected with
several societies. He is very interesting

Last Monday morning Mr.. Silverman
and J. X. Pardee, both intelligent and ex-
perienced Montana mining men, passed
through Davenport on their way TO Ruby
City. in the Salmon river district. where
they go for the purpose OF looking over
some of the mining property in that vici-
nlty. Both gentlemen are fully competent
to make report upon the character of the
ores and the prospects OF the country, and
we hope to be able to give the public the
benefit of their observations on their re-
turn. This district is now attracting
attention from practical mining men all
over the northwest and the year will see
wonderful developments not only in the
Salmon river district, but all other dis.
port is fortunately situated in relation to
the Salmon river mines, as all the travel
necessarily passes through this places, and
it is destined to be an out-htting point for
the1e mines.
Among the many people in Davenport
Tuesday was that incorriRible democrat,
d. NJ. Drumheller, Esq, one of the oldest
residents of Eastern Washington and one
of the most popular citizens OF Spokane
Falls As will be seen by notice Of or
ganization elsewhere, he is connected with
the Big Bend National bank, and his
name will add materially to the strength
aud popularity of that institution. Dan
Drumheller. as he is farliliarly known
among his old cronies. is one OF natures
noblemen. gentleman of liberal views,
educated in the broad school Of experience.

observer, quick witted, shrewd, vet honor
able to nicely in all business relations.
e is a gentleman one is proud to claim as
friend. Those who know Dan Drum
heller best can appreciate the warm, gen
erous nature of the man. In business
transactions he is the very pink OF integri-
ty and honor, and socially his friendship
is more than hollow mocker3 or sham
pretense. Mr.. Drumheller has always led
l,.a 1, Fn 4, RI. a nt date
when failing health warned him to cease
all unnecessary exertions. He has ac-
! cumulated comfortable fortune, and is
now able to take that rest he has earned
so we'll. We only trust that his connec-
tion with the new bank will require his
| frequent presence in Davenport.
That portly, pleasant looking, comfort
able and complacent appearing gentleman,
carrying cane and standing solidly with
| intently surveying any particular part OF
town, who was with the bank organizers
| Tuesday, was Hon. X. W. Forest, ex.
mayor and one of the most substantial
monied men of Spokane Falls: There are
few old timers in this part OF Washington
Territory who do not know X. w. Forest.
He is also right nice man TO know. he
is we'll posted, deep thinker, logical
reasoner and has the happy faculty OF not
only making money, but also Of knowing
how TO keep il. Mr.. Forest ia one Of the
{ first persons the writer ever met in this
/ section. That was quite number OF
years ago, when Mr.. F. was acting as frst
mayor Of Spokane Falls. At that time he
was conducting very meaRrely stocked
grocery store in very dingy frame build
| ing near the old California house. Prior
| TO his investment in groceries, Mr.. Forest
accommodated the public In the capacity
OF fsrryman just east of the Falls. Mr..
