erected In this city. Tho Northern
Pacific and Union Pacific railroads
penetrate the Cpur d'Alone dis
trict.
The Pend d'Oreille country lies
northeast of Spokane Falls, in
Idaho, and like CRur d. Alenc,
nature and railroads have made 1t q
fixture To Spokane Falls. The tim
ber Is like that of tho Sound coun-
try In growth and quality. This Is
famous mining district, but will
be held back but u short time, a.
the Great Northern railroad will tap
THIS section at l3onner,s Ferry.
This country IL also noted for fine
pottery and brick clays.
British Columbia will soon be In
closer commercial relations with
Spokane Falls, as soon as the
Canadian Pacific railroad Is tapped
by the Spokane & Northern, whin)l
viii be but a few weeks. TINS
VIII make Spokane the distributing
point for the Northwest for this
transcontiuental line. IL has been
murmured that this system would
help greatly to cvade the interstate
commerce law. The mail from all
Europe destined to the Northwest
would be sent over the Canadian
Pacific and delivered at Spokane
Falls for distribution. Europe holds
the balance of power on the sea, and
as long AZ there Is foothold by land
she will use It.
Spokane Falls excels any city in
Washington for daily newspapers,
banks, railroads, and has the falls of
Ia Ill NaI In. n
heart Of the city, which makes her n
competitor Of the Eastern cities
which have the ad dyantage OF natural
gas. We have seen no falls 10 COM
pare with these except Niagara falls
OF New York state. only one-tenth
of the power has been utilized for
electric lights, electric and cable
street railways, water works, etc.
Spokane Falls, with seven railroads
now completed and the Great
Northern soon To be completed,
makes her the railroad center
of the Northwest, yet Spokane
Falls will see more railroads
than these, for there is field enough
for other railroad systems. Spokane
Falls has ~ tine and well-equipped
electric street railway IA there Is in
the world, aud contracts have been
let for Others. The smeltor now un-
der construction will be one of the
largest In the United States. and
there are hundreds of mines waiting
to ship ore as soon as IL Is finished.
The resources OF Spokane for min
eral are such as to exceed Denver.
The late organization of a mining
exchange has given great stimulus
