OUR BUILDING RECORD'
Ninety Eight Brick and Stone
Structures in Course of
Construction.

Building Inspector Harm informed a
RENEW reporter yesterday that there
were ninety eight buildings in course of
erection within the fire limits. Some OF
the number have been completed.
Being within the limits of the fire
ordinance they will, of course, all be
substantial brick and stone structures, "a
majority of which will be five and six
stories high, while a few will be only
two stories high.
The structures arc scattered about oil
nearly all the streets leading through
the limits. There are thirty-four on
Riverside avenue alone, eight on Front
street, nine on Sprague, eight on First,
nine on Main, one on Monroe, four on
Post, two on MILL twenty on Howard,
two on Stevens and two ON Washington.
The inspector remarked that he had
Just made a tour through the fire limits
and had counted the buildings already
completed or in course of erection, and
he was surprised at the amount of build
ing that was going oil.

In THE ARID REGION
A Possibility of Future Wealth
That Is Not Generally
Appreciated.
Scores of Cities and Towns Will
Yet Spring Up in the
Desert.
Northwest Magazine. |


Tho advancing line of Western settle
ment has rarely reached the limits OF
profitable cultivation by rainfall, and in
some localities, such as Kansas, Okla
homa and Texas, the enthusiasm and
hopes of the pioneers have carried them
beyond the danger line, into regions,
which ii not to be classed as ard, are too
dry in majority of seasons for success
in farming Between the area of suf
ticient rainfall aud that recognized as
arid, where no one attempts to farm
without irrigation, there Is belt of
country about 200 miles broad, reaching
from far up in the British territory clear
down to the Gulf of Mexico, which
may he termed the sub-arid or sub
humid region, in which series of years
of considerable precipitation of rain and
snow are followed by II series of years OF
scanty moisture. Certain counties in
Kansas lying within this belt have been
peopled and depopulated three times
During the rainy cycle settlers rush III,
to be forced to leave a few years later by
repeated failures of crops. Then comes
the next recurrcnt period of rainy years
and now people occupy the vacant land,
fNncying that there has been n per-
manent change in the climate, And so
1t goes and will go on until the scientific
fact is understood that no climatic
changes are occurring OF any part OF the
American continent, When this is gen.
orally known the settlers in the sub.arid
belt will adapt their industries to their
conditions of climate, raising forage
crops mainly, which will grow in dry
seasons, depending on stock cN ieily for a
livelihood and taking chances only on
small fields OF grain.

TRoUBLEsOME DEER.

They Destroy tho Gardens of the
Fiathead valley Farmers, Causing
Serious Loss.
Eastern people, and indeed many
Montanians, will read the following from
the Demersville Inter-Lakc with genuine
astonishment
The deer are quite nuisance to the
farmer of this valley, They come in
the night and help themselves to all the
delcacies of the season. Last Friday
night Judge Lang got up and found
seven or eight deer in his garden helping
themselves to the cabbage, etc. lie took
down his rifle and shot one fine 3-ycar-
old buck. Charles Friedenburg shot
two fine bucks in his garden few nights
ago, and Mr.. VanDyke says they have to
get up almost every night and scare the
deer out of the garden. They are getting
too aesthetic in their taste--common
grass does not seem to be good enough
for them.

THE ARID REGION.

West of the SUBJ arid belt lies the vast
region acknowledged to be arid, and in
oluding all the territory ly ying between
the lo2d meridian and the Cascade and
Sierra mountains, except certain districts
like the Paouse and Walla Walla coun-
tries In Washington, where elevated
platcauX receive exceptional moisture
from the near mountain ranges. The
arid region of the United States contains
almost as many square miles as the
humid region, ii we leave Alaska ont of
the account. A large amount of its sur
face is fertile land needing only water
to produce crops far greater in average
yield than can be raised in the rainy re-
gion east of the Mississippi. Great rivers,
fed by the rains, SHOWS and springs of
the Rocky mountains, traverse this arid
country. Their abundant waters, if
stored during the time they run waste
TO sea, would reclaim many millions of
square miles OF fruitful soil, which would
furnish homes for vast population.
The great economic problem OF the future
i'll this country Is how to utilize these
waters Tor the benefit of the people. 1t

pealing to the highest order of states

.eSentativc John L. Wilson arrived
home Thursday from weeks trip to
the Sound cities. He was seen ycster-
day by REVIEW reporter.
IL suppose you are already receiving
numerous applications for otfce?' was
asked.
"Oh, YES, there are quite number and
IN this connection some embarrassment
will arise; but in view of the fact that
the United States senators soon to be
elected in a large measure control this
patronage, | presume few If any ap-
pointments will be made until they get
to Washington"
"What are Spokane's chances for pub
lie buildings?'
''They are equal to those of any other
point in the territory ! sincerely hope
that it may be my good fortune to Sc
cure something substantial in this di-
rection for the home OF my adoption"
"What buildings are most needed
here?'
"In view of the large mineral re-
sources of this city, there is no question
but what the government should build
an assay office here. And if term
of the United States district court is to
be held here, we ought to have public
building for court purposes, which could
also be used as land office, postoffice
and by all other federal officials"
Mr.. Wilson will leave Spokane Falls

meet in Chicago a special messenger ap-
pointed by the governor to bear the GER
titled returns of the adoption of the con-
stitution to President Harrison. This
messenger was appointed to hasten the
proclamation for the admission of this
state, some delay having been made by
the failure of some counties to send i'm
their returns, and all the returns must
be filed before they can be announced by
the returning board. They hope

lamation of the president issued by the
