The Northwestern Industrial Ex-
position building, which is now be-
ing erected at Spokane, will he one
of the largest exposition buildings
In the United States. 1t has over
15O,0 squire feet of floor space.
This great building will be devoted
mainly to the exhibits of the vari-
Gus counties and cities Of the Pa
cific Northwest.
The exposition management is do
ing very extensive advertisement,
and there will not be city In the
United States or Canada that will
not be covered with advertisements
of this coun try, which shows the
interest Spokane is taking to make
this gmnd success, which will be II
great benefit to the Northwest. We
will say that any county or city that
fails to lend in their exhibits will
lose one of the best chances they
ever had or will have to bring It's ad-
vaIltages to the notice of settlers or
capitalists.
The exposition will make no
charge for space TO any COUNTY or
city desiring TO make an exhibit.
There will he a silk banner and a
gold medal presented to the county
making the best mineral display
and u silver medal to the one max
ing the second best display, If the
people of Shoshone county will put
forth their efforts and take an inter
est in gathering specimens there Is
no doubt but what II will carry
away the gold medal, which will
give the Cnur d'Alenes o worldwide
name and one of the greatest booms

sEATTLE's NEW CHARTER.
Tho Commission Concluded Its Labor,
Tnursday


SEATTLE Wash, July 1.-THE charter
com mission concluded its labors to-day
ana adjourned to give time for enroll
ment. The charter will then be signed
and submitted to the people for ratihca-
ton. 1t provides for biennial elections,
with mayor, to receive salary of$3.
900, board of aldermen elected at
large, and house of delegates
elected by the wards, serv-
ing without pay. The other
officials are Treasurer, 5000; corpora
tion counsel, 5000; city Judge, 81, 100;
city clcrk, 5000; city attorney, 81 500.
Provision is made for boards of public
works, police, health parks and public
library, and for comptroller, all OF
whom arc to be appointed by the mayor
with confirmation.
The commission has been In session
almost daily since June o, and has
compiled document of between "a, OOG
to 80, 600 words. The basis OF the charter
is that of san Diego, CAL, particularly
as to the dual council. The democrats
will probably raise an issue on the pro-
vision allowing the mayor to appoint
the police com missioners, they having
contended throughout for n direct cleo
ton.
The commission will meet week
from neat Tuesday to sign the docu-
ment. Some of the provisions arc very
stringent, and the object has been to
place the strongest possible safeguard
around the public treasury, while allow
ing sufficient elasticity to embrace tho
necessities of much larger porula-
ton. For instance, the salary OF tho
mayor will increase at the rate of 500 u
year for every 10000 population, until 1t
reaches u maximum of 5000. The
check system devised by Furth, tho
banker. by which the council depart
inent, comptroller and treasurer balance
each others accounts will be watched

The sixtieth Annivorsary of Her In
dependence Celebrated.


BRussEIs, July 2l.--The sixtieth am
nivorsary of Belgian independence and
the twenty-tifth year of the reign oI
King Leopold was observed to-day with
Te Deum service in the cathedral in
the presence OF members OF the royal
family, cabinet ministers, foreign diplo-
matte representative and members ol
the senate and chamber of represent
atiyes. Afterward a reception was held
AZ the palace.
In response to the address from the
senate, King Leopold referred to the
work Of Belgium in Africa.
Belgium had taken a great part, and
he hoped she would lake u still greater
part In the future. Tne object of his
life was to render his country beautiful,
strong and happy.
Responding to the address from the
chamber of representatives, the king
said that he deemed the time opportuno
to assure to Belgium,her African posses
sions after the expiration of ten years,
winch, perhaps, was necessary to con
solidate tho Congo state. In the event
of his death, his heir would surely never
wish to diminish the extent or impor-
tance of Belgium new possessions.
