means of arousing people to brilliant

ments. That was ono of the effects of
the civil war in this country. That
promises to be the effect upon this place
of the fire few days ago, which de.
stroyed the greater part of the city's
business quarter. The disaster, instead
of crushing the people, seems to have
had the effect of bracing their wills and
stimulating their energies. Every one
Is hopeful, because all who live here
firmly believe that the city has great
future. Rebuilding has already com.
mcnced, but there will be no more
structures of wood in this town--noth.
ing but brick and stone and iron will

FOR the completion Of their pet railroad,
the Spokane Falls d Northern, whose
bonds are being placed on the New York

The founders of Spokane Falls were
attracted there by the readily available
power afforded by the falls of the Spo-
kane river Engineers estimate the
power available here at $1,000 horse
power, nearly five times greater than
that of the falls OF st. Anthony, which
laid the basis of the progress made by
Minneapolis. Still the settlement re-
manned u mere frontier village, isolated
through lack of railway connection with
the world. When the line of the North
crn Pacific reached the village in Sep
tember, 1854, its population was esti-
mated at only 1900, but at once the town
began to grow, and with almost un-
euualled rapidity. In a few months the
population had doubled, and now it Is
variOusly estimated ut from 1900 to
2U,0O0. Spokane Falls is the center of
East Washington and the second con-
siderable city in the territory.
Another correspondent of tho World,
in his series of articles entitled. "ln
the Great Northwest has described in
general terms the natural advantages
and resources of this territory. He has
told ofits rich farm lands, ofits stretches
of grazing territory covered with the
succulent bunch.grass, Of its untold
riches in minerals, of the mildncss of its
climate and the beauty of its scenery.
