General business is usually dull during

and mountains and enjoy the balmy in

During this season the farming com-
munity Is busy harvesting their various
crops. So within the city the volume of
4 general business is materially lessened.
Last week we had an ex-reverend (un)
divine, who called himself Daily, lee
ture to us at Music Hall. There were
hand bills and dodgers extensively cir
culated all over the town announcing that
I ex-Priest Daily and wife would lecture on
tho same old fol-de-rol the confessional.
Not a newspaper Of note in the city took
cognizance Of the fact. So the poor wretch
lectured to a solitary audience on empty
chairs The unfortunate crftter openly
regretted that it was the poorest audience
he ever had at any Of his infamous lee
lures. Even the officers Of the two A. r.
+ A. councils here failed to attend his lee
ture, or harangue. We are SOLDERING up q
little now from the effect Of A. p. a.
craze. We had a newspaper published
here for few months called the Amer
lean Pope Well the Pope died in de-
spair, amid the theories of financial en-
barrassment, and we fear that GabriaPs
trumpet will fail to resurrect him, as he Is
beyond redemption. The unfortunate Pope
had a. certain subtle cleverness at misrep-
resentation, but the acute structures OF
his rantings were not keenly felt. Hewas
not broad enough between the eyes to
run a WheelbarrOW, much less news

There are two mills and power house
being erected on the Spokane river at
present.
This is what Spokane needs just now,
Several of our idle laborers can be en-
ployed with profit and advantage as soon
as these manufacturing concerns are com
pleted, and it will be a Godsend for the
city,
4 Everybody here is interested in the
silver question except a few who are body
and soul In the grasp Of the money power.
The mines at Trail Creek, 3. c., and In
various other places within a radius OF one
to Ave hundred miles of here are very ac-
tive at. the present with development
work. and some that are being operated
are wonderfully rich There Is ample OPP
portunity for people with some means to
make safe and profitable Investments
I around these regions at present City
property improved and unimproved farm
lands are at prices that are surprising.
Judicious Investments in mining property
usually repay the investor handsomely.
There are marble quarries within short
distance of Spokane that will eclipse any
thing produced in that line west OF the
