carries ON at the old stand. Thinking he
might better bis condition. he turned his
face westward and. we are glad to know,
has hatterinG prospects OF soon reaping
the fruits Of his toll and push. He owns
real estate there and is growing up with
Spokane Falls, which seems destined to
become one OF tho leading cities OF the
North west. One Of Its most de-
sirable features Is the climate. There

ing the next, but when climate changes
occur they are seasoneble. Winter comes
at winters time, the temperature grow
ing slightly colder day by day until the
maximum is reached. The retreat to
spring and summer is by similar process.

to 20 west, because If they fail TO realize
their expectations they win feel like CEN

CRATE, but to any who contemplate remov-
ing in that direction, his advice is not to
locate in Kansas to starve or Dakota to
freeze, but 20 to Washington territory,
Shich he says is one Of the grandest and
best countries in the world. Spokane
Falls has 1900 inhabitants, numerous
fine private residences and business build.
