HON. SAMUEL G. HYDE
He Returns From tho East and
Has Something to Say OF In.
terost to Spoxaneites.
Immense Immigration-The Three
Most Wonderful Cities In
the United States.

Hon. $. G. Hyde returned on the
east-bound Northern Pacific train
yesterday morning from the Fast,
having been absent three months.
He spent three weeks In California
on his way home. He left Mrs.
Hyde and the children In Chicago.
Mrs. Hyde Is In delicate health, and
will remain there during the winter
for medical treatment,
Previous to his last Visit Mr.. HYDE
had not been East for twenty-five
years, He visited his birthplace
and all the principal cities.
In conversation with q represen-
tative OF the REVIEW last night Mfr.
Hyde said he had nothing to say on
political topics that would be OF In i.
torest to the public.
"You have recently had inter
Views with people who were direct
from Washington, aud rs left
there two months ago, | could not
give you anything new" said Mr..
Hyde,
"from what | could learn when I
was East there will be an immense
immigration to Washington this
spring. he continued, land Spo-
kane Falls will get It's share.
Everywhere Iwent people seemed Ia
know all about Spokane Falls, even
out In the country among the farm
ers. People In the East all seem Ia
have faith In the future of the place,
and they expect 1t to become even O
larger city than wo who live here
do. They all seem quite satisfied
that II IL sure to become a second
Denver. The coming season will nc
doubt be the most prosperous Spo-
kane Falls has ever enjo"ed.
"There Is certainly no state In the
Union that boats Of three such re.
markable towns as Spokane Falls
Seattle and Tacoma. They are un.
questlonably wonderful towns, and
they seem to be about equal In their
enjoyment of prosperity, activity
and extraordinary growth"
MIR. Hyde Is looking exception
ally well, and his vacation seems t.
have done him good.

THE MINING INDUSTRY.
A Bright Prospect for the Courd' Allen.

There was "a time long ago when
too little consideration was given to

instead of looking to the gulches
of California for reports. of rich

West has shared with the Golden

development of the vast mineral
regions which are to-day so prolific
in all parts of the Pacific coast.
The great Northwest Il taking fore

country, and Cpur d'Alene is rap

liberal progressive ideas, are fully

necessities, and are possessed
of a comprehensive knowl-
edge of modern and successful

THOSE TIDE LANDS.
Mr.. T. G. Grifitts Talks About
the Allegations of Repre-

that there was no way known to

~ further told him the shore
owner was utterly without rights or

A Surprised Fisherman.


Fishing for bull trout has been an
amusement for those having a few
hours'to spare durlug the past few
days, and good many have been
caught. William Howard was seized
with the idea that to go a-ishlng on
Friday morning would be good
way to spend II few hours time, and
ut the same time secure q delicate
dish fit for the lenten season. So
he ovc-hauled his hooks and lines,
and taking the lightest fishing gear
he started forth. When Just
above the city he made his first cast,
and was rewarded with instant n Oti-
ilcation that some water creature
had swallowed the hook.
Endeavorlng TO haul out his
find, he was met with u
steady resistance, which finally
became 50 strong that 1t almost
jerked him off his feet. The fisher
man was naturally surprised, and
like lightning the idea fitted
through his brain of whether he had
ever heard of "A whale being seen In
Mill creek. Then again the thought
came that perhaps he had hooked
o-e of Kingsley's water babies, and
an unusually robust one at that. In
tho meantime the waters of the
stream were lashcd into foam, and
the fisherman was exercising all his
skill and strength in prey cutting his
prey from esftpng. After three
quarters OF an nour OF hard work
Mr.. Howard landed on the bank u
magnificent salmon trout, weighing
four,cen pounds. so delighted WAS
he at his good fortune that another
cast was male, which Wis re-
