visitors Express Surprise at Rapid
Growth and Prosperity Of
Spokane.

Forty-two members of the North
Dakota Editors association arrived
over the Northern Pacific railway
late Saturday night and yesterday
was spent in sightseeing. A commit
tee appointed by President Goodall of
the chamber Of commerce took the
members in charge during their brief
stay here and showed them the va
rious points of interest that abound
in Spokane.
A private car was placed at their
disposal by the Washington Water
Power company and Spokane was
mostly seen from a trolley car. The
courthouse was visited and the edi-
tors said it was the finest building
that had so far been seen since leav-
ing North Dakota upon their 1000
mile journey with the exception of
the capitol at Helena.
Great surprise and much enthusi-
asm was shown in the rapid growth
and development of Spokane. They
had expected to see a hustling from
tier community with enough business
houses scattered here and there to
satisfy the immediate demands of
the hour. but instead they saw block
after block of business houses and
handsome residences.
The party left late last night for
Tacoma.

New Owners Of Sterling Grocery
Company Preparing to Make
Extensive Alterations.

What is known as the Sterling
Grocery company, 905 Sprague ave-
nue.. was sold to S. Wylie & Son of
Seattle the latter part Of the past
week.
1t is now two years since the Ster-
ling Grocery company was formed
and that 1t proved to be a success
is fully shown by it's past large and
profitable trade that has centered
around since its infancy.
Much credit is also due the former
manager Of the company, George E.
Myers, who had been with the Ster-
ling since it went into business. 1t
is in the main due to his untiring
efforts and unceasing work and al
ways having the interests of his en-
ployers and also employees at heart
that the store has become a staple
institution here.
The present deal was contaminated
last week and the new owners i'm
