NOT A MILLION.
But Something Over Seven
Hundred Thousand Dollars.
Of the Real Estate Sales
for the Week.
Bright Promise Of the City's Continued
Prosperity Increases the Demand.
for Desirable Property.

One of the largest real estate transfers
ever made in Washington territory was
consummated in this city yesterday, by
the fling of the deed for the sale of part of
the extensive water power of the Spokane
Mill Company to the Spokane Water
Power Company, the consideration being
$500,000. The sale does not include the
mill property.
The Spokane Power Company is a cor.
poration of recent origin. and embraces a
number of Spokane's best known capital.
lists. It Is the purpose of the company to
lease the power for terms of from 25 to SO
years, and several leases of POI Itions OF the
power have already been effected. No
part of the power will be leased for specu.
Iative purposes, and all parties obtaining
leases must agree to utilize the power so
obtained by erecting buildings and estab.
fishing manufacturing enterprises. Thus
the sale Of the power will result in mater
ial benefit to the city, as its present holders
propose to lease it in parcels at reasonable
figures, with such provisions as will in
sure the building up of numerous and per-
manent manufacturing industries.
THE WEEKS TRANsFERs.
Notwithstanding the unfavorabie change
in the weather the real estate market has
suffered no abatement. Sales are as active
as ever anu tnere Is Orlbk ueuanu IOr
both inside and outside property. Real
estate agents predict an extraordinary
activity as soon as spring opens. Consid-
cradle interest is attached TO location of
the depot grounds of the Spokane X
Northern, but the shrewdest spectators
have thus far been unable TO ascertain
with anything like certainty the loca-
tion of the proposed grounds.
Parties holding desirable property do
not seem at all inclined to let 1t go, WE'LL
knowing that the advent OF the Spokane

posed new street railways will result in
LARGE INCREASE
in values. All the real estate agents in
ter, ,iewed yesterday expressed themselves
as more tbapAatisfed with their sales for
the week. l.. G. Dillman Of the firm of
Dillman, Routhe & Co., being asked what
his firm were doing in the way of sales,
answered. "Oh we can't complaint; we
made 1874 900 sale this morning of the
lot on the southwest corner of Front and
Washington streets, and are about to clCse
another sale for $l3.000."
As will be seen by reference to the re.
port of real estate sales for yesterday, as
furnished by Strobach X Munter, the sales
recorded for the day amounted to 1926, ,007.

WEIRD STORIES.
witches and witch Doctors In Penn
sylvania.


A Reading correspondent writes: The
belief of past ages in witchcraft is still en-.
tertained by many people in this (Berks)
county. Hearing of several men in the
CITY who were said to oe able to give well
authenticated cases of witchcraft or hex
ing" as it is called here, your correspond
ent visited one Of them, and was told the
following story:
Several years ago family with whom
| was well acquainted lived on Cedar
street, this city, and directly opposite them
on the same street, lived woman who
was known to be hex the Dutch for
witch. There was child born in the fam
lily of my friend. II was beautiful child,
had the sweetest disposition OF any
youngster ever knew, and never cried
or gave its mother any trouble
at ali. When the child was about
three months old this old hex came into
my friends house, and taking it out of the
cradle, huQRed and kissed it, at the same
time muttering ip the language in which
the Bible was first written. When she
left it was at once noticed that the child
was as completely spotted as leopard,
and it cried continually, AS though suffer-
ing great pain. 1t would cry at night as
long as the hex across the street remained
at the window, but as soon as the witch
would retire its cries would cease and 1t
would get some rest. This state of affairs
kept up for some time. The regular doc
tors could do nothing for the child; every
body knew the poor little thing was be-
hexed' (bewitched). and the mother wor.
ried nearly to death through loss of sleep
while attending the little sufferer, would
not be satisfied until they sent for witch
doctor 1.-THE identical doctor still lives In

HE came in answer to their call, but
previous to his arrival had sent them u
note warning them not to speak word to
him. He wrote several words in lhe Ethi-
opian language on piece OF paper. placed
il In q certain place in the Bible. and after
putting the book under the child's pillow,
informed the mother that II they would
refuse the hex across the way every thing
she asked for her baby would get we'll.
The same day the old hex sent over for
some trifes-I think il waa y smoothing
iron or a pinch Of tea-but the mother re-
fused to let her have them. and from that
moment the child commenced to get bet

''The third night after the witch doctor

ESQUIMAU DOGS.
What q Famous Traveller Has to Sa,
About tho Faithful Animals.


About the Faithful Animals.
During his wonderful sedge journey
from Hudson's Bay to the Arctic Ocean,
Frederick Whwatka had abundant oppor-
tunity to learn the habits and the disposi.
tion of the Esquimau dog. He started
out with sixty of them, using them to
draw the sledges, and only nineteen were
alive when he returned to Hudson's Bay.
The others had died, mostly of starvation.
He says:
They were through all this horrible time
perfect respecters of their human allies.
and the little children used to 20 among
them and play with them by pelting them
over the back with their toy whips; and
yet the same dogs were starving,
and should one of them die his
comrades would eat him. notice
this particularly, as some sensational writ
ess have tried to make their readers be-
lieve that the Esquimau dogs are liable to
become dangerous fellows, even to a pow
erfully.built man, when simply hungry,
and to be worse than wild beasts when
ravenous. Any onslaught Of Esquimau
dogs ID unknown among the Northern ma
tives where have travelled.
II was pitiable in the extreme to see
their sufferings as they so devotedly helped
us along. many of them up to the very
minute they had to be taken from the har-
ness and abandoned on the road. As they
dropped out along the way, we harnessed
ourselves in their places to the sledRe-
traces. and 1t was thus we were not COM
pelled to leave important parts Of our
load.

asnt reached this office that the
Sn...D ol UImsby county had
stopped his APPEAL.
We understand that the Sheriff
is quite Indignant that the APPEAL
should go so far as to question the
expediency of any OF his official
acts. The Sheriff should bear IN
mind tiat this journal proposes to
criticise the acts OF any official from
the Governor of the st tie down to
the Constable OF Pizen Switch.
1t is a queer state of affairs when
a journal cannot criticise the acts Of
a man it materially assisted in put
ting in office.
When the question of running
Mr.. Ullrick for Sheriff was breach
ed, there was decided opposition TO
it, as it was held that he ran once on a
Mugwump ticket, and was therefore
not entitled to any recognition from
the Republican party.
The editor OF the APPEAL. in con-
versat on with a conference OF poll
ticians, who were disposed to crush
Ullrick, argued in his favor on the
grounds that as Crisler's deputy he
had made an excellent license col
Iector, and that his zeal IN that d.
rection had saved the county large
amount of money. We argued
further, that it was not always ex-
pedient to draw party lines too
closely in the case OF an officer who
was the public servant alike of Re-
pnblicans and Democrats, and that
the welfare OF the county was TO be
considered above the welfare of the
party.
We also agreed to make special
fight for Mr.. Uhrick on this ground.
and in the camoaign kept an array
OF figures before the public showing
how superior his record as license
collector had been to Swift's. his
opponant.
We do not pretend to say how
much the APPEAL contributed to
tie result, but he won, and the
other county candidates growled at
the APPEAL during the campaign
because it alluded more to UIlrick' s
fight than anybody else's.
We merely make these state
merits to show, as we said before,
that we have 4 double right &c
criiicise the official acts OF the Sher-
iff as a citizen and taxpayer who
paws him part OF his salary, and al
so one who made specially hard
fight in his behalf.
Ii has been the custom in Nevada
for tie press to slobber over the
Sheriff in the hope of getting his
official patronage. We do not pro-
DOS. to exchange slobber for par
with anybody. We took the Sher'
iff to task for granting a peddler''
license to the thieving, swindline
soap game that runs with the cir
ems. and we also alluded to his leth
argv in the last stabbins ARRAY Il
thg city.
The APPEAL, however, is hardly
an echo of the criticism that ha'
been current in this community
since the time he deposed his dep
uty. Mr.. Crisler. Had the voter'
known that he proposed deposin'
Cri.ler he would not have beer
elected.
HIS licensing the gambling games
of the circus with = peddiers IL
cense, has been the talk Of IN
community ever since.
The idea that the Sheriff OF
county is a Being above the reacI
OF criticism is something to ridicu
lous to thlak OF. The APPEAL
unfinished, not for the benefit Of Mr.
Ulrick, but for the people OF Orms
by county.
