extend and greatly improve the street
railway service. Applications have
been made to the city council for
franchises on Indiana ave. from Mon
roe to Hamilton SITS. and on Lacey
ave. for the purpose of improving
the service at Union Park. 1t is
also proposed to build new bridge
across the river on Post st. to bet

ice. Fifteen new cars of the most
modern type have been ordered and
are expected here March /.
The company gives employment at
present to 300 men and will increase
that number as soon as spring opens,
Practically but small part of the
immense water power is yet in use
and there is room for many more
factories along the river front, where
the cheapest and best of all motive
powers can be obtained. The more
modern method, however, Is, instead
of locating factories where most con-
venient for water power and take
the chance of securing sidetracks, to
locate them most conveniently on the
railroads or sidetracks already built
and operate them with electric power,
which is second only to water in the
matter Of cost.

business aspect. The utilization of
the power has grown gradually until
at the present time the banks of the

Undoubtedly the founders of the
city of Spokane had the future of
the now greatest city in the Inland
Empire in their minds eyes when
they located on the banks of the
Spokane river OF the beautiful falls
over which the waters of the river
sweep on their way down from the
mountains.
At no point in eastern Washington
is there a more promising spot for
the location of manufacturing insti-
tutions than along the river at this
point. With a power estimated at It's
lowest stage of not less than $4,000
horse power with railroads reaching
in every direction. timber of all
kinds within easy distance, what
more could be desired for a city of
manufactures?
The pioneer settlers realized the
value of the immense water power
and at an early day several com
panies were organized for the pur-
pose of Harvesting the power and
turning it to account in a small way.
1t was not, however, until 1883,
when the present Washington Water
Power company was organized and
purchased the interests of the sew

visitor climbed inside. After a little
cart-like trailer loaded with several
huge trunks had been coupled on
behind, the equipage started off.
AS they rode along he asked Of

saw the tree in the middle of the
street the church, the school house
and all the old stores, each remind
ing him of friends and incidents that
had been forgotten. He alighted in

moment gazing on the picture before
him. Evening was on--the town

After supper he started for walk
and passed the rear end of an old
livery stable extending through to
the other street. He caught sight of
an old hearse piled back in one cor
ner and he recognized it as the first
one in the county. He walked inside
the stable and stood thinking of the
sorrows this old vehicle had seen,
the burdens it had borne-father,
mother, sister, brother, child.
A breeze blew through a crack in
the old wall and one of the glassless
doors of the old hearse creaked gent

was on the blue eyes and rosy checks

He looked into the heavens; the
moon had gone into shadow and great
white clouds passed like procession
of phantoms. AS the wind blew
through the trees along the sidewalk
they swung and swayed like great
black funeral plumes for the death
of seasons past. He thought OF his
long, lonely years; the successes he
had attained, his friends who were
happily married, all led back to pic
