To the Readers of The Tribune

To the Readers of The Tribune
We wish to make you acquainted
with the salient facts concerning the
late fire here, as well as with the
present condition and future prospects
of this city, and we seek this as the
ouickest and best method of accom-
plishing that purpose.
The fire of the 4th inst burned most
of the business portion of the city.
Four hundred and fifty houses, of
brick. stone and wood, were destroyed,
entailing loss, according to the COM
putation of the local agent of Il. &.
Dun & Co., of about S4,500,0O0.
The insurance in the burned district
amounted to S2,6OO,OOO. Nearly all
losses have already been adjusted and
paid.
No people were ever in better condi-
ton to meet disaster, and none ever
met it with Drawer hearts or with
quicker and more resolute determina-
ton to survive the blow.
The city was in the midst of period
of marvellous prosperity. Its popula-
ton was increasing rapidly, many fine
buildings were in process of construc-
ton, its trade was extending over a
vast region of country that was being
penetrated by new railroads centring
within it's limits, and there were flowing
to it the rich fruits of half dozen pros
porous mining districts.
It's working people were all employed
at good wages and money was album
dant with all classes.
Hardly had the sun of the day fol-
lowing the fire risen upon the scene of
smoking desolation when preparations
began for rebuilding. 1t was felt at
once that the city would be rebuilt
more substantially and more hand
somely than before.
The City Council met and unani-
mously passed resolution in favor of
extending the fire limits so as to
include thirty-five blocks, which is an
area three-quarters of mile long by
half a mile wide. All frame structures
were strictly ruled out of this district.
This insures new city of brick, stone
and iron.
On the same day three of the lead
ing banks purchased ground at the
price of 81, 600 per front foot, on which
to rebuild structures for their own
uses. which shall be fire proof, and
which will not cost less than 100000
each.
This was the first note Of revival.
Then followed in quick succession
announcements Of handsome and ex-
pensiye blocks to be rebuilt. Every
imnortant business structure is to be
replaced, and scores of new ones are
to be added.
The cost of buildings already de-
T all those who may wish

termined upon will reach not less than
$2,500,OOO. Three times this amount
will no doubt be expended on new
buildings during the next twelve
months.
Thus a splendid new city, with all
the requisites and adornmcntS OF mod
ern life, is to spring up from the ashes
of the Spokane Falls that was COM
PEELED to struggle with the weights
and burdens that inevitably follow
quick development from frontier
trading post.
1t had sprung from a Struggling
village of 500 inhabitants in 1883,
when the Northern Pacific Railroad
arrived, to a city of 10000, fifteen
thousand of the 10000 having gath
cred within three years.
The ratio of growth was sufficient to
insure a population of 100000 in eight
years.
Within three days after the fire
three thousand men were engaged
clearing up the debris and making
ready for the renewal of building oper-
ations. There is room enough and
work enough for three thousand more
mechanics, bricklayers, stonccutters
and laborers.
The population of Seattle has been
increased at least 5000 by the fire of
two months ago-the same will no
doubt be true of Spokane Falls.
There has seldom been witnessed a
scene of such business activity as that
now beheld in the burned district Of
this city. Never did American enter
prise, pluck and determination more
eloQuently assert themselves. 1t is
enough to make one proud of his race.
We desire that the readers of The
Tribune shall know something about
what Spokane Falls was, what it may
be, and what is the secret of its success.
1t is |, $50 miles west Of st. Paul, on
the line of the Northern Pacific Rail
road; 400 miles west of Helena, and
400 miles east of Portland, Oregon, and
the cities of Puget Sound.
1t is the metropolis of o region
100000 square miles in extent, includ-
ing $4,000 square miles Of Washington,
or all that portion east of the Cascade
Mountains, more than half of Idaho,
the northern and eastern portions of
Oregon, a large part of Montana, and
as much of British Columbia as would
make a State as large as New York.
1t is the distributing point for the
CTur d'Alene, the Colyille, the Koote-
mai, and the Okanagan mining districts,
all Of which are in a prosperous condi-
ton, and all Of which are yielding rich
and growing tributes of trade.
1t has adjacent to it the finest
wheat-growing country in the world,
producing from 80 to 60 bushels per
acre.

aid of the Columbia River with the
Canadian Pacific.
We think we have named the facts
and conditions that enter into the
building of large city, and we believe
there is the basis here for the attention
and confidence of Eastern capital.
We can place here large amount
of loans advantageously. We can net
to investors seven per cent on loans OF
$4,000 to 100000, running three to
five years, interest payable semi-annu-
ally. These loans to be placed on sub
stantial three to six story blocks in the
heart of the city.
We can net to investors eight per
cent on sums of $1,000 to $4,000, to
be placed on business and residence
property, interest to be paid semi
annually.
Improvements in all cases to be
insured, and policies to be transferred
as additional security to the mort
gagee.
We have perfected an arrangement
by which the First National Bank will,
if desired, receive moneys forwarded
to be placed through our agency, and
in conjunction with their attorney
pass upon all applications for loans
and make payments direct to the
borrower.
We also invite attention to invest
ments in real estate here. We have
made investments for more than 1000
non-residents, none of whom has
realized a profit of less than fifteen
Der cent. We have on our list great
deal Of business property, residence
property, suburban property and acre
property, the descriptions Of which,
and all particulars, we will gladly for
ward upon application.
We invite correspondence, and will
gladly furnish maps and printed in
formation to all who may be interested
in this wonderful young city, and this
country Of limitless resources and
opportunities.
We also invite people from the East
to como and see Spokane Falls for
themselves. Notwithstanding our great
disaster, we are now ready to entertain
al visitors. We shall soon have two
new and handsome summer hotels,
which will cost $4,000 each, and IN
less than year we shall have at least
one permanent hotel that will ooss
100000. The Northern Pacific Rail-
road Company will soon commence the
construction of passenger depot 70
cost not less than 100000, and our
new Opera House, now in course OF
construction, and costing 100000,
will In q few months be ready for
occupancy.

MINNEAPOLIS.

An invitation has been issued to the
Socialists of Minneapolis and st. Paul
by committee elected by the socialists
in attendance at the Eight-Hour Con-
vention in Minneapolis on the Sth inst,
to attend a conference at Minneapolis
on the 2Sth inst, to consider the tactics
and agitation Of the Sections in the two
cities. The members of the Party are
strongly urged to attend this confer
enCe, as the decision arrived at will be
of great importance to the Party in
Minnesota The questions to be con-
siderel are: Shall State organization
of the Socialist Labor Party be formed
in Minnesota and, Shall clean Socialist
State,,ticket be nominated next fall in this
State? The advantages of State or
ganization seem too obvious to need re-
mark, and as to the nomination of can
didates-how are socialists going to vote
unless they have candidates? 1t is by
organization and by the use of the bal
lot that the Socialist Party must work
and agitate There seems to be but
little doubt but that Minnesota will fall
in line, and meanwhile take the best ad.
vantage of the six months intervening
bet ween the present and election day.
The Socialist Labor Party of Mime
apolis holds public meetings at the La
Dor Temple for agitation on the first
and third Sunday evenings of every
month. The programme of the next
four meetings is as follows:

MASSACHUSETTS.
State Organization of the Socialist
Labor Party.

A State Convention of the Socialist
Sections Of Massachusetts was held at
Boston on the 1th inst, and was called
to order by the Section Agent. Com
rade a. Guwang presided, and Comrade
Louis Steinhardt acted as Secretary.
The order of the day was:

zatiOn.

gebauer and w. Isenecker.
1t was decided to dissolve the district
organization, and to found a State or
ganization.
The Boston Sections were requested
to elect Central Election Committee to
conduct the elections, etc.
A constitution was Immediately drawn
up for the State organization.
Voted, to noninate a full ticket for
the next State election. In the matter
of city and town elections, however,
each Section shall decide as to partiCi-
pating or not.
The construction of a State Platform
was referred to the Central Committee;
each Section may make propositions,
which are to be submitted to a general
vote.
1t was decided to levy a per capita tax
of five cents per month, to begin with
the current month; and in order to
place fund in the treasury Immediate
ly the Sections were called upon for
voluntary contributions,

CHICAGO.
The Socialist Vote in Chicago Wakes
Greater.

To show how little our comrades in
Chicago have been discouraged by the
results of the last election so far as the
number of votes cast is concerned, it
may be mentioned that during the last
week branches Of the Party were organ
lied in four sections Of the city.
According to latest accounts the vote
for Orchardson was 259; McGill, 301;
and Knefel, 317. It's a mere matter of
incorrect counting that makes a differ
ence between the votes cast and the
votes acknowledged. The honest ele-
ment in the labor movement owe the
Socialists thanks for their exposition of
the real character of certain frauds who
have made themselves prominent 'for
revenue only" 1t is hoped that they
will not again be able to deceive the
workers by their pretensions.
Comrade B. Berlyn, formerly of New
York, proved himself "hustler" dur
ing the campaign, and is continuing his
activity in the organization and agta-
ton among the workers.
By the time the fall campaign begins,
our comrades will have the pleasure of
reading good news from Chicago,
There's nothing like political action for
solid agitation.
At last Sundays agitation meeting at
Waverly Hall, the principal subject
under consideration was the recent
"new departure" of the Socialists as So.
Cialists in political action. Comrade I.
J. Morgan made a strong speech, of
which the following is an imperfect
synopsis:
Socialists have started on a rough
and we intend to keep right on it, in
stead of choosing a broad, well-paved av-
enue, which finally ends in hole in the
ground.
Owe are not discouraged at receiving
but few votes. We do not care if we
only get the same number next time.
We are not in politics for votes, for
office nor for Doodle. We have made a
commencement and though it may be
a long time before we shall see the
fruits of our labors, what of it? The
best fruits are those that require the
longest space of time TO bring them TO
perfection.
working men have been deceived
repeatedly. They have been promised
everything, both by the republican
and democratic" parties. They have
been encouraged to hope for a land
flowing with milk and honey, and the
promised land is as far off as it ever
was.
THE Socialist Labor Party has come

PHILADELPHIA.

At the last meeting of the French
Section, S. L. p, W. l.. Rosenberg, ex-
Secretary of the National Executive
Committee, and N. Meurguet, Secretary
of the French Section of Philadelphia,
were nominated as delegates to the
Paris Congress. The latter said he
would defray his own travelling expen-
ses. requiring reimbursement only for
extra expense incidental to attendanc e
at the Congress.

ROCHESTER,.
Socialists Take Hand in Union
Mass Meeting.

Last Monday an immense mass meet
ing was held in this city in the interests
of striking Car drivers. Among other
speakers was Mr., Copeland, a clergyman,
who made a most exciting speech, advo-
eating resolutions, amid the widest en-
thufiasm. The Socialist Section had
prepared few thousand circulars, Civ
ing the socialist standpoint, advising
against strikes and rioting, but advo-
eating political action. The circulars
made quite a sensation. The public is
in favor of the strikers, and there is a
general demand that the city run and
control the street railways.
