inVtou.
The COMMITTEES on the state of religion,
Rev. 8. 4. Stearus cbsirmsn. reported n
very hopeful outlook over the field, out
great need OF workers In many utterly des-
titute localities. This report was dis
cussed by number Of delegates who
spoke OF the stat+ of the work In their re-
spectivs fields. Individuals awaiting bap-
tlsm and communities asking for organi-
zation were reported.
The report on education was presented
by Father Stearns, the founder of C0lfax
college. The report stated that Coltax
college had u new building recently entered
by the school, that cost Sl7 600. and worth
with the campus, $40. 1000. There needs
to be raised $4,000 to clear the school OF
all incumbrance and equip 1t for a more
management of Prof +. N. English AZ

Gator, who is to continue the school as a
college bot run It upon paying basis.
The report was discussed by Father
Stearus. who said. when it shall be an
,ounced that Colfax college must fail for
want Of money. put this old man in his
rough wood coffin and bury him out of
sight beneath the clods of the valley by
Bro. J. c. Baker. the financial agent. who
made an urgent appeal for he pressing
needs of our educational work; by ex.
President 1rimble, who paid hearts
tribute to Prof. +. N. English. his sue.
cessor at the head of the college. Hope.
full words we're spoken in favor Of locating
and endowing, at no distant day. u new
centrally located college in which the
whole territory should be united.
A very spirited and helpful discussion
followed the report on Sunday school
work presented by Sister May Q. Jones.
The report recon- mended the appointnen at
OF n Sunday school missionary, This W A
felt greatly to be needed. but the greatest
iced of all was workers ia each commu-
nifty to keep up schools when organized.
The annual sermon on education was
preuched n the evening ut 8 o'clock by
President 1rimble, from Men. iii:28.
Tue sermon vas an eloquent and mas

tion. It is content 10 rest iu merits with
the crucial judgment OF an intelligent
public. On this occasion II will perhaps
be justified In . slight departure from
the ordinary rule OF its existence. The
close Of the present month will represent
iust ak months or half y year aimee the
present management assumed full
control and started forth in
the earnest work Of supplying
Newspaper worthy Of the great young
city in which 1t 10 published. Up to
that time the REVIEW, although of worthy
origin and honorable record. Was In no
sense metropolitan newspaper. 1t was
something more than mere village organ
but was not . city newspaper In the
broader and better sensa.
The REVIEW now tnds II necessary to
enlarge its capacity and 1t will be seen by
reference to the local news columns OF .his
issue that magnificent new Goss per.
fecting press with capacity for turning
out "a 900 copies Of the paper per hour
has been ordered and 10 now on it's way
out from the factory. In addition
to this new press complete
stereotypine plant has been purchased for
the REVIEW, together with other machin'
cry constituting full carload. A COM
plete new dress Of type has been purchased
and ship ped in advance CT the machinery,
thus making up almost an entirely new
outfit of materials 10 accommodate the pa
per's future demands.
While this announcement is made with
some degree. Of pride on the part of the
present IN msnag cement Of the REVIEW, it Is
taken for granted that the people Of Spo.
kane Falls and the inland empire of which
this city 10 the recognized metropolis will
take also upon themselves liberal snare
of the credit for the rapid growth and
great prosperity of this paper, requiring
as it does tne best facilities that
can be manufactured with all Of the latest
improvements for perfect execution and
speed. The growth and prosperity Of the
REvfRw could not have been attained had
not the people recognized the merits Of
their paper and extended 10 the enterprise
their liberal and cordial support.
The advancement of this city and county
and the unmistskable evidence of contin.
ued prosperity betoken still greater de-
mands for o irst-class newspap per. and
the REVIEW is determined to keep abreast
Of the occasion and completely fill
the field. While the 6rst half of 1889
has witnessed an unprecedented degree Of
advancement, it is expected that the next
six months will yield still more gratifying
resulta.

phoned the REVIEW yesterday. George
Hammond, q prominent mining man and
one OF the owners Ut the Gettysburg mine,
was stabbed Thursday night by John
Murphy. They had been engaged in q

The REVIEW has been insisting that
the farmers of this territory are missing
golden opportunity by not supplying home
markets with those products that are
shipped in great quantities from distant
states to Spokane Falls, Seattle and others
of our cities. To ship eggs and butter
from Minnesota to this country ought to
be regarded ss like shipping coal to New
castle. p. b. johnson, editor Of the

The act OF congress- passed February 8.

speak, for disposing of these reservations,
although the law 10 not what 1t should be.
1t is entitled IAN act TO provide tor the
allotment of lands in severalty to Indians

the protection of the laws Of the United
States and the territories over the Indians.
and for other purposes" After fully pro-
viding for allotment OF land in severslty
to each Indian belonging to any reservs-
ton the law provides as follows:
That any time after lands have been allot-
ted tO all this Indians OF aDytribe ~ herein

ps,s Of said tribe, II shall he lawful Tor the

such Indian tribe for the purchase and re-
lease by said tribe, In conformity with the
treaty or statute under which such reser.
walton In held, Of such portion OF its reser-
walton not allotted ~ such tribe shall, from

| Ii would have been much better for the
Indian as we'll as for the country at large
if this act had provided outright for the
disposal of all lands left of the reserva.
tions after each indian is Supplied; but
the tendency is in that direction and per-
haps the next act of congress- will be what
il should be. In the meantime those in

ticns should take steps to secure prompt
action under the law as it now stands.

Grand total. l................ ..-.. $59l ,6S9 OIL
1t will be seen by the above that the
total value Of the minerals produced in
1888 was f59l ,659.9Sl. II IL recognized
that this IL the sum Of the values of sub
stances taken in various stages of manu-.
fsctuIe and hence not strictly comparable
with each other; still it is the most valu-
able means for comparing the total pro.
ducts of different years. The result ia an
increase Of nearly $50, 600 900 beyond the
value Of the product in 1887. In that year
nearly every mineral industry showed AN
increase, and hence an increased total was
evident. But the fact that the increase
was 30 very large was due to rather excep.
tional conditions in q few important in.
expected that similar combination Of
circumstances would result in even larger
total value for 1888. Nevertheless the un.
precedented stimulus given to the produc'
tion of copper by an artificial price in.
creased the total value OF that product
nearly $4,000, 900. or nearly enough 10
Offset the decline in the total value OF pig
iron. The other important factors in the
increase were coal and the other fuels
which followed the increased quantity Of
metals. With the anticipated decline Of
copper to the normal demand, q decline in
the total value Of the product In 1889 will
not be inconsistent with the natural de.
velopment Of our mineral resources.
