Interesting Facts Told by Inspector
HARRISON.
Robert Harrison, inspector OF
| United states surveyors, general
and district land offices, returned To
this city lust week from Cnur d'Al-
enc, where ho has leen making in
examination of the land office for
that d istrict.
When seen BY a REVIEW reporter
Saturday Inspector HARRISON stated
that he was now making his regular
tour through the various districts
assigned to him, and his mission to
this city il to cooperate with the Of
ticers Of the land aliice here rega rd-
ing the attainment of the greatest
possible e1iciency in Its different
branches of business.
Toa question regarding the per-
sonal standing and the business
capacity Of the officials In this office,
! he said:
"Thelr common object and aim is
TO meet the business requirements of
this section rs has been often told
bN 'lNls'lNs .AlNll
my duty to learn how citizens re-
gard the status of an oifice and its
Officials, 1t IL more particularly my
duty to ascertain nom an inspection
oi the records what Is the exact
condition of the office and its busi-
ness. Am much pleased with my
Inspection In this Office and see gr,nt
improvement In Its method OF busi-
ness IA compared with that of other
years.
"l'he increase, both In number of
new filings presented and cash eu-
tries on final proofs made, II found
to he considerable. For instance,
during the six months following
September, after the great fire, the
business amounted to more than
flvc-sixths of what 1t had been for
an entire year previous to the fire.
Within the past three months the
increase In number of filings made
and cash entries upon final proofs
ON land has been at u considerably
higher rate than during any preced-
Ing period. For two-thirds of the
present month, the indications are
that the combined business of filing.
and cash entries will exceed that OF
auy corresponding month for several
years past in this district.
"Such data and facts of record
speak for themselves as to the In
terest the settlers are taking In this
section Of the country. There are
more filings In this yet incomplete)
quarter, ending June 80, than In
ANY previous quarter for more than
u year past.
"Witn the Spokane land Office In
Its present enlarged quarters, and
with their improved system of busl-
ness, together With having officers
oi one mind and purpose To attain
the greatest efficiency and make
the good management of Its affairs

seem that the community may eX-
pect the best results. Further than

DIR. GARDENERS BODY
Found Floating in the River and
Buried Yesterday With I'm.
pressive Exercises.
The Search for the Boys Body,
Drowned at the Same Time,
as Yet Unsuccessful.

The body of DIR. G. II. Gardner,
drowned ON Sunday, June 10, In the
Spokane river, full particulars OF
which were published In the RE-
VIEW at the time, was discovered
Sunday floating In the river Just
above the Northern Pacific trestle.
Two men named G. NJ. Lille and
Ebcn Thompson had been fishing
along the banks of the river when
they discovered the body floating
down. They at once got long
pole, and after considerable dliii-
Guilty, succeeded in landing the
body ON the bank, and recognized
IL at that of DIR. Gardner.
One of the men then came to po-
lice headquarters aud Chief of Police
Harbord repaired to the scene, fol.
lowed by j. J.. Webster soon after,
and took charge of the'body.
II IL lust one week since DR.. Gard
ner was drowned, and the finding oi
the body floating in the water Is
something remarkable, rs many sup
posed that as the water was cold the
body would not come to the surface
for some days yet. AT the time Ii
was discovered the body was iloat-
ing in standing position, the head
being some distance out of the
water. The face was badly dlscol-
ored, but bore no marks, while the
other portion of the body was In u
good state OF preservation.
After landing the body on the
shore the searchers then turned
their attention to hnding
tho boy Fogarty. A search up
and down the river for some dis
tance was made, but no trace of the
body could bc found.
The remains of DIR. Gardner wore
bought to the morgue. The
funeral was held Monday from the
Spokane Undertaking Company's g
rooms, and We're largely attended.
The floral display was a mngniii-
cent one, and consisted of set pieces,
bouquets and cut flowers. Rev,

cate tho yards, and after looking
over Cheney, Colfax and several
other points along the line, they
have finally decided to locate them
at Spokane Falls. The site selected
Is east OF where tho Union Pacific
crosses the Northern Pacific. Tho
yards will be one OF the largest in
the Northwest and will be pat
termed after the Chicago stock
yards, only on n smaller scale.
They will be the main
yards, and stock will be shipped to.

chasers Of stocks can come to this

the yards will be commenced in q
few days, II being the purpose of tho
railroad company TO have them
completed at the earliest possible
date.

night: "The action Of the Northern |
