The following letter, signed by num-
Der of King kalakaua's household has
been received from Honolulu; "H. w.
Severance, Esq, arrived in Honolulu by
steamer Australia to assume the office
of United States consul general. His
Majesty kalakau declined TO give him
an interview His majesty also refused
10 accept him as consul general, and
only yielded to his ministers under pro-
test, saying she responsibility must be
with them. The reson given by his ma
jesty for his action Is that Mr.. Severance
was dismissed from office as Hawaiian
consul general in San Francisco for
cause. His majesty feels that Mr.. Sew.
erance's appointment marks lack of
courtesy on the part of the government
of the United States" Notwithstanding
this letter Mr.. Severance has been rccog-
nized as United States consul general,

The Future Great Question.

If the visit TO Eastern Washington O,
the senate committee on arid lands does
nothing more than arose an interest in
the question of irrigation, ii will have
accomplished good purpose. This is a
question that our people will do well TO
study, for it bears close relationship
TO the future prosperity of the state. We
have in Middle and Eastern Washington
ajvast area of country whose soil is favor
ably situated for agriculture and po-
tentially rich, but which is ali but worth
less in it's natural state. IL produces
nothing because it lacks water, while az
the same time great streams drawing
water from inexhaustible sources hurry
uselessly past. The time must come
soon when this land will be needed and
then the problem of irrigation, how to
apply the abundant water to the parched
land, will press upon us. II is well now
while the prublem is still in the future
to receive instruction upon the subject
and to learn to view it with intelligence
and interest.
In local way irrigation has already
done much for this territory. Ii has
made the Kittitas valley fruitful and
was, in fact, the primary factor III tho
creation of the fine city of Ellensbtre
1t has done quite as much for North
Yakima and Is destined TO do more. The
full as they are now, owe their whole
fertility and development 10 irrigation,
Considering what has been accomplish
ed by local and private effort IL would
seem impossible TO over estimate the
advantages of general system drawirla
its water supply from the ineNhaustil,la
rivers, and reaching not merely special
spots here and there, but covering tho
whole interior basin of the territory.
Irrigation here presents no serious
problem, excepting that of cost. Tho
supply of water Is abundant and the
country to be watered lies low enough.
Money literally expended will water
every acre east of the Cascade moun-
tains. But the job is too big for private
enterprise and Ii done If must be either
as d national or state project Tho
government is showing some Interest IN
the matter, as the presence of the scna,
torial committee attests, but IL may be-
doubted ii il will in any reasonable time
be induced to provide money enough to
do this great work The matter will in
all likelihood fall to the state and will
become an important future question Of
state politics and il is well that the peo.
pie should begin TO think about it,

THE DESTRUCTION OF SPOKANE.

WRITTEN FOR THE REVIEW
II was. not A. M. in poetic month o
June,
But prosy month OF August and 6 In tn,
afternoon ..>
The golden sun was smiling his sweetest
checriost smile,
Ana wings OF fairy Zophyrs bore choice
- fragrance many mile,
From wild flowers OF the forest to laugh
ing falls the while.
The saucy jay was watching the merry
u,, humming bird,
VINO, slipping cups of nectar, IN gay par
terrc was heard;
And on the meads and hilltops the chill
,r :, dren ceased to play
10 listen to the music OF the falls not fai
away,
Which sang their sweetest music that
quiet Sabbath day.
In grand primeyal forest the wild deei
Startled ut times by echos of far of In
dians' song;
Bronzed Klutchinen led their mustangs
to Coeur d. Alcne's broad lake
Who plunged into the waters their Crav-
ing thirst to slake
And scores of bluc-blood mustangs
swift followed In their wake.
No sign of yag, nor iicnd within Spo.
Kane was seen
And no one dreamed of danger so near
the Northwest Queen;
But as the day was drawing around hei
evenings cloak
Through root of humble cottage issued
II cloud OF smoke
And the cruel cry of Fire upon the city
broke.
Then the Fathers of the city, true and
honest 10 man.
Set men and engines going to try to save
Spokane.
And ~ me flames rose higher, and
iicreCly blew the wind
All citizens came forward and with body
soul and mind,
Gave suCcor to the stricken with words
and actions kind.
And tho flames with fury bursting,
leaped on from block TO block,
Burningalik mechanics and merchants
hurd-carned stock;
And like an. angry lion the Fire fend
lushed and roared,
While tircmen, dead In earnest, their
streams Of water poured;
And al the good, brave citizens Spo-
kanes sad fate deplored,
But wildly onward rolling, that cruel,
hcartlc less fame
Devourcd all stocks and buildings, and
forward still it came,
Writhing, wriggling, groaning like q
panther in the thralls
Of mcsmcric boa-COnstrictor, whose
piercing eye appallsl
Yet above all noise and hustle was heard
the liquid falls.
Night lowered down her curtains and
trailed them on the dust
And the scorchnS Fire-iend had salts
fled his lust,
For his furked tongues of fire and loath
some strokes and spleen
Had leyeled our fair city and marred the
Northwest Queen:
The falls gushed forth sweet music
the moon sailed on serene.
Superior to the moment our d, II
Queen shall rise,
While other states and nations applaud
in their surprise
With progress for her watchword this
great Northwestern Queen
Shall wear beciizened diaJem whore ashes
now are seen,
And our dancing falls shall bow with
proud and graceful mien.
