few months since the time was dee med
ripe for the establishment in Spokane
Falls of mining exchange, where the
mineral resources naturally tributary to
this city could be brought into touch
with the capital necessary for their de

mining exchange which, although still
in its infancy, has accomplished much
good, both for the city and the industry
1t seeks to foster. Its usefulness is gain.
ing recognition from prospector and
progress toward the accomplishment of
its full purposes.
The measure of success achieved by
the Spokane Mining Exchange has
aroused a belief that the time has arrived
when Spokane Falls should have prod.
uce exchange. Her agricultural re.
sources are enormous, and their total
product almost marvel. Already they
have gained point far in advance OF
the widest predictions of the past. That
the interests of all concerned require the
adoption OF commercial methods more
in accord with modern ideas is asserted
by many. The attention of the SpOkane
Mining Exchange has been called to the

Within the last twenty-four hours

About midday on the 18th
Thomas Burns left Ainsworth to go
to his camp on Woodbury. creek and
was drowned by the upsetting of his
canoe when within n mile of camp.
There was gale blowing from the
southwest ut the time, which made
heavy sea, the waves running ten
feet high. No canoe could live in "A
sea like that.
The only thing that is left is the
canoe, both oars being gone. 1t is
supposed that Burns, in his efforts
10 save himself, carried them with
him. We are in hopes of finding the
body by the oars sustaining It on
the surface, Up to present writing
the body has not been found. At
the point where the accident took
place the water can not be less than
loo feet in depth. 1t may be that
his remains will never be found, but
Mother Nature has placed him in II
tomb of her own, with snow-clad
peaks to mark this spot upon this
natures mirror, with its reflection
rs n monument that will live until
generations shall pass away and be
forgotten, and the supreme Guide
shall lead us over the trail across

where care and sorrow are unknown.
Thomas Burns was born in Worces-
ter, Mass, and was about 26 years
of age. AT present his folks live in
Eau Claire, Wis.
Here nature has made his grave,
and with no bell to ring n mournful

her in his wagon and asked her
how far she was going. She said
she had heard that n lady living
out that way wanted n girl to work,

for the situation. When the house

out here to find an uncle. She
gave her name as Bertha McGee.

She was very sulen when taken
to the police station Friday, and
stood back in one corner and
looked contemptuously upon the
men who stood around her and
tried to persuade her to be nice
little girl and go back to the kind
ladies who were willing to take care
of her. She reluctantly obeyed
when a policeman told her to go
with him to Mrs. Todd's. The child

A GREAT ENTERPRISE
A Large Tannery and Wholesale
Boot and Shoe House to Be
Established Here.
Michael O'Shea, a Wealthy Man
ufacturer, OF Lynn, Mass, Will
Move His Plant.

Friday afternoon twenty-five rep
resentative business and professional
men of this city, including among
others, Messrs. Cannon, Burns,
Bolster, Monahan, Lynch, Angus
tine, Graves, Houghton and Will
liams, assembled in the Office OF Mr..
Houghton to meet Mr. Michael
O'Shea, of Lynn, Mass, and discuss
with him his project for establishing
in this city II tannery and wholesale
boot and shoe house.
Mr.. OShca has owned and con-
Quoted II tannery for some years in
Lynn, and is man of
wealth and very extensive busi-
ness connection throughout the
East. He recently came West to
carry out project which his friend,
the late John Boyle O'Reilly, of
Boston, had nearly accomplished
shortly before his untimely death.
Mr.. O'Reilly had long recognized
the very exceptional opportunities
which this state offered for trade
i'm hides and boots and shoes, and
had nearly succeeded in organizing
among the capitalists of Boston II
company for the establishment of
such company somewhere in the
coast country.
Mr.. O'Shea, taking up his dead
friends plans, has recently made
several trips through this state and
Oregon, seeking suitable site for a
tannery. After thorough investi-
cation, particularly of the sound
cities, Mr.. O'Shea has satisfied him
self that Spokane Falls Is not only
the best city for his purpose, but
that it is the best city for any and
every purpose in the great North
west.
"Acting according to his convlc-
tions he has made several large in
Vcstments here, and on Friday re-
ceived definite proposals from the
gentlemen assembled in Mrs.
Houghton's office yesterday re-
specting his prospects for establish
ing a tanncry here. He was offered
gift of the best site available for
the building, and also Il business lot
as IL site for the erection of build
| ing TO he occupied as Wholesul
boot and shoe store.
Mr.. O'Shea expressed himself as
con fident OF being able to induce n
certain large whulesal eboot and,shoe
house OF Massachusetts TO remove
| their business TO this city as soon
as practicable, and further, that if
he brought this about he would
proceed 10 erect his tannery build
ing without delay. In any event
he proposed to carry out his own
plans not later thun next spring.
| One of the chief advantages which
| this ncighborhood afforded for his
business was apparent in the prox-
unity of the great Cnur d'Alene
forests, which would afford an un-
limited supply of bark. He pro-
poses to ship his fine plant of tan
ming machinery from Lynn to this
city, and has already received ex-
tremely advantageous offers of CO.
operation from great manufactures
OF that city.
He left for the East last evening,
and is expected to return with mis-
family early in November.

THE papers Of Shoshone county, in
the Cmur d'Alone district in Idaho,
have not yet finished their sharpshoot-
ing over the county scat question, and
the feeling is still warm, particularly
between tho towns OF Osburn and Muir
ray. The Statesman, published at the
former place, under the title Murray
Patriots" gives the following as an in
stance of the feeling in the last named
place toward any other town, Osburn in
particular: "a lady who had been visit
ing in Murray, whore she owns con-
siderable property, few days ago de.
cidcd to return to Osburn, her home,
and wished to bring some furniture and
her piano along. She applied to several
OF Murray's gaIlants to assist in arrang-
ing her goods for the journey. Did
they do it? Not much, They'd be
blanked If they'd help any one move
away from Murray"

Chairman Committee.

REPORTS from the country state that
although not more than one-half of the
grain is threshed, yet the warehouses
along the railroads are almost all full,
and that in many places grain is being
piled on the ground along the tracks
waiting for transportation facilities. In
many towns II is coming in at the rate
of from 400 to 800 tons daily, and at one
warehouse out of six in town of not
more than 1000 inhabitants 76, 600
bushels were taken in in one day recently.
Farmers are as well they may lie,
highly pleased with tho result of their
seasons labors, and all who can are
holding for higher price than that
now offered. A great cry is going up all
over the Palouse and Big Bend countries
for an increase in the facilities for
shipping grain, and II this should bo
granted it will even then take almost
an entire year to ship all of this years
harvest. With these facts in view it Is
small wonder that Fasteners and others
visiting our city are impressed with the
wonderful fertility of this region and its
superiority as an agricultural Uantry
over almost any other section.
EAsTERN papers arc printing q wild,
weird story of a monster that frequents
a lake near MuIlan in the Coeur

suspecting miners who pause to bath in
its waters. This is clearly an allcgory.
The location is said TO be q few miles
from Mullan, near the summit of the
range exactly tho location of Pottville.
1t is that interesting and energetic town
that the local poet has described in al
legory. The monster iG the demon
drink, and the lake the troubled vortex
that has swept so many men down to
ruin. The wayiaring miner need
entertain no fears regarding the dangers
of the tabled lake. Lot him bath to his

OLD Missouri seems to be lawless and
Puritanical in spots. At Lexington So
cioty has been stirred to its center by an
order issued by Judge Ryland, OF the
circuit court, instructing the grand Jury
to return indictments against all card
players, without regard to sex or social
position. The judge has entered upon
vigorous crusade against that most per
nicious and fascinating game, progress

men and young women shall not rush
headlong to ruin without the interven-
tion OF the saving hand of the law.
THE announcement that the pope will
refuse to receive O'Brien and Dillon

mature, to say the least. Tho refugees

You Must Save Yourself.

Foreign and home capitalists are
purchasing, at fearful cost to the peo-
pie, the burial place of our forefathers.
They are swooping down with a re-
lentless grasp upon all the idustries Of
our people. Brother laborers, every
where, and especially you who are the
heads Of families, and who hold in
your hands the boon Of suffrage; you
who by divine inheritance should pos
sess home; you who should sit in
your advancing years in the enjoy
ment of happy and cOntented home

the unjust, unholy laws that are so
stealthily robbing you Of all that
makes life a blessing, you must save
yourselves. Long'enough you have
been tramping behind the two old par
tisan shuystering machines. Long
enough you have been loyal to party.
Be loyal to yourselves, to your wives,
TO your children, to your homes. Be-
gin now. Think out what justice is,
and then join hands and strike for
freedom. Strike for just and Impair
tial laws for all the people, Talk it in
your homes, with your neighbors, in
your various organizations, every
where. Strike in your primary eau
cuses. Make up your own states,
place in nomination men the most
positive and fearless from your num-
ber. Strike at the polls with your bal
lots. Elect your representatives to do
the bidding of the peaple. You are i'm
the majority. Your united votes can,
if you will, repeal all the bad laws and
replace them with just and equitable
laws for the prosperity and happiness
of all the people. Dare to be men,
worthy the divine inheritance of your
forefathers. Redeem the Inheritance

of our Republic is surely sounding.

The Lily Whites On the War
Path.

The Lily Whites have organized a
central committee of 81, with headquar-
ters at Houston, and propose to put a
distinct ticket in the field. They Lave
issued their pronunciamento,f from which
we make the following extracts:
"Our patience is exhausted and we
cannot any longer endure the shame,
disgrace and humiliation brought upon
Republicanism in Texas by the audacity.
arrogance, corruption and treachery Of
rhe negro leaders and their followers.
They have taken fOrcible pOssiOn of our
primaries and ruled our conventions
with relentless tyranny. They have
driven many of the best and most patri-
otic white Republicans out Of the party
ranks; they have demoralized and dis
organized the Republican party in our
scOrn and branded patriotism with ignO-
miny; they have bartered their citizen
ship away in open market ank sold their
votes to the highest bidder at every elec
ton. Repnblicanism in Texas has be-
come a stigma upon American citizen
ship, reproach and a curse to our
country" ~
"rhe Republican state convention
which met ut San Antonio Oh Sept. 3,
although containing many intelligent
and patriotic white Republicans among
its delegates. was composed for the most
part of negroes, who, devoid of the in
telligence and virtues which should
characterize n free American citizen,
came there solely at the dictates of their
arrogont and corrupt chiefs, to vote ut
their leaders behest, regardless of right
and principle, and TO help these leaders
in their dlabOlical design Of gaining per-
sOnal benefit at the expense of The Re-
publican party. The convention. there
for, although sailing under the name of
Republicanism. was nothing but n ship
manned by political pirates, bent upon
an errand of evil mischief, and deserves
the adherence and contempt of every
true Republican"
What might seem strange to some ia,
that when the Republican party is
breaking up and falling to pieces all over
the western states, that the Lily Whites
of Texas should assume the attitude
they have toward the negro, whom they
have heretofore held up TO the world ms
the acme of fidelity to their party, but
it only verifies the old aphorism
"Whom the gods would destroy they
first make mad" For the information
of the Republican press and stump
speakers who howled so much about |
southern ourrages we hope our western
exchanges will copy this article and
on it. If the negro has be-
come arrogant lie learned his lesson
