position, was grand success. A fine
Grafton was delivered by Hon. J.W.

have made Spokane Falls what it is.

time will make their third burial.
Stuart and Mclean were out from
Elk City Saturday and informed us that
the big ditch enterprise was at last com.
pleted, that the water was running, and
they had commenced working the
ground beneath. This is indeed good
news, and we trust that very soon now
the promoters of this great enterprise
will begin to reap rich golden harvest
as return for their large expenditures
of money, time and patience. They de-
serve unlimited success as compensation
for the difficulties they have overcome.
