Anchored.

Anchored is what the man said
when he dropped into the Anchor
Saloon. WhyY said his friend.
Because you can always get a
cool refreshing drink served by
gentlemanly attendants, and if
you happen to drop in during
lunch hour you will be RECALLED
with solids as we'll as liquids. In
fact the lunch at the Anchor is
snil by many to be the best IN
town. The celebrated Seattle
beer is on tap. 1t is sparkling
and ice cold. The finest of wines
and liquors in town are to be had

1ItIsems AttentIon.

These are days of considerable
anxiety and perplexity to all who
have possessions or other interests
In the Republic of Hawaii, and it
is time that our citizens came to a
mutual understanding on several
important issues. The prospects
for Annexation appear at present
vague and indistinct, and our
destiny cannot be foretold with
certainty. There are those, also,
who still fondly cling to the hope
of return to the old order of
things, and who cannot be per-
suaded otherwise, yet this out.
look appears far more hazy than
that of Annexation even to the
most hopeful disciples of the
Monarchy. But, fortunately, in
the midst of all this uncertainty
there is solace in the fact that
Buffalo Beer has came to stay and
that patrons of all sorts and
opinions may equally share the
benefits of its invigorating and
sustaining properties. We are
moreover assured that this favorite
brew will continue to be dispens-
ed as heretofore at the Royal,
Pacific and Cosmopolitan Sa-
looms,

Mrs. Sara +. Archer, teacher in the
Washington school of Spokane, has been
awarded The Spokesman Review prize
for the best poem on the Spokane river.
Her poem follows:
o beautiful river, sweep into the west
With the shadow of hemlock and fir on
thy breast;
With the CLINT of the green in thy cool,
crystal wave
Thou hast stolen from hills that thy swift
waters lave.
In the lake, hill-encircled, thy rushing
rills meet;
Down, down from the heights come their
hurrying feet.
From the heart of the mountains thy
g.. bright torrent drains;
Thy sources are deep in the dim Occur
d'Alenes.
Commissions volcanic THY stern bed have
made;
In basalt and granite thy couch has been
" laid:
tbs veIned with the onyx and 'broldered
with gold,
And into its gorges thy liquid life rolled
High over thy head croons the sentinel
pine:
Deep into thy bosom the watchful stars
shine;
The tamaracks gaze on THY foam-covered
face,
And shivering stand in the breath of thy
race.
Columbia thunders; Its echoes invite;
Deep answers to deep in the cataract's
might
Speed on to thy nuptials, exulting in
pride,
And the peerless Spokane is Columbia $
bride!

ORCHARD LANDS ARE RUINED.
CiOudburst Devastated the Valley
of AsOtin Creek

Asotin, Wash, May IA cloudburst
at some point as yet unknown up the lit
tie valley of Asotin creek sent a wall of
water down the valley THURSDAY after
noon which carried devastation in it's
train. Stock was drowned, houses wreck
ed, bridges washed out and orchards
ruined. The loss is roughly estimated at
100000. The pleasant little valley was
continuous orchard and garden for Is
miles above the town. The Spokesman
Review correspondent has Just returned
from trip four miles up the valley, and
from persons on the road it was learned
that the flood extended for at least three
miles beyond that and how much further
Is unknown.
SO far as reported no lives were lost,
but considerable stock persisted. The
houses of Robert Campbell and John Dill
were wrecked. and John Miller's house
was carried 300 feet from its foundations
Many other places were more or less dam
aged. Between Asotin and a point four
miles up the creek all the bridges, five in
number, were washed out. Two Of these
belonged to the town and three to the
county. The loss in this particular is
about s25OO. 1t is thought that other
bridges were washed out further up the
stream.
But the chief loss was in the destruc-
ton of orchards and gardens The tor
rent tore through these with great fury
carrying debris with great force and
Washing out and breaking off the smaller
trees. The larger trees were left stand
ing, though they were badly damaged.
In the town of Asotin comparatively lit
tie damage was done beyond the washing
out or the bridges. The park was ruined
