he was born in Chester county,
Pennsylvania, many years before"
This brings Spokane's Try

big fire that all but blotted it out, in
the fall Of 1889. Starting in little
restaurant on the railroad between
Post and Lincoln streets, the con-
flagratiOn swept across the city,
taking everything from there north
to the river and from Lincoln street
to Washington. The 81" to the
east of the old Falls View hotel, at
the northwest corner of Post and
Front, is about the only old land
mark in this whole fireswept dis
trict that survived the disaster. It
was formerly the Post residence.
"At that time only few strag-
Cling stores about the section east
Of Washington street remained, and
It was with the utmost difficulty
that some Of the families could pro-
cure food and other necessities for
several days following the fire.
Families slept in yards on that hot
August night after the conflagra-
tion."
There are comparatively only a
few of the old time trail breakers
who blazed the way to Greater Spo-
kane's splendid business future who
still remain to tell Of their sacri-
fees out here in the early wilds, but
each old pioneers story impresses
one with the Spokane spirit, that
has won and is still winning against
oppressive circumstances and earn
ing the fame and wealth that the
"City Beautiful" formerly the lit
tie village by the falls, has right
eOusly gained.

were on that very train hunting for
the officers and his charge. They
searched the train from end to end,
but could not find them and finally
gave 1t up. All the while the sheriff
and the much frightened Indian
were clutching tightly to the sheet
iron chimneys on the roof of a
coach, and in this way they reached
Sprague in safety. The Indian later
got life sentence in penitentiary.
INITIAL ELECTION FOR MAYOR
"Spokane's first election for
mayor was by far the most exciting
of any ever held here. When the
city was first incorporated, the gov
ernor appointed r. w. Forrest as
mayor until an election could be
held, and when the polls opened a
few months later Forrest had J. N.
Glover for an opponent, and betting
on both sides was running wild
There were lots of sports here in
those days, who used to make up
purses nearly every night to induce
men and boys to run foot races or
have horse owners match animals
in a few heats.
THAT election was nip and tuck
from beginning to end and the bet.
ting was kept up at reckless pace
on either side until the very last.
1t was a standoff when but nine bal.
lots were left in the box, but those
nine votes elected Forrest the first
mayor of Spokane by their own
number as majority.
Forrest later helped to organize
the Traders National bank and OF
which he became a director, but a
few years afterward he went east
apparently in good health, to attend
his daughter'S graduation axarcisaS

many of them. Most of them were
friendly, but some were bad and
blOodthirsty, and a sort of block
house was maintained over on
Havermale island near where the
Great Northern depot is now for
the protection of the whites in case
of threatened massacre.
INDIANS HARD TO DEAL WITH.
Few of the Redskins could
speak the American language,
hence the merchants were com
PEELED to learn to speak Chinook.
In that lingo 'estes-ch' meant sugar
and semen was the name for to-
bacco; these and their fire water
and few other simple things were
about all they ever wanted. We
found the Indians were generally
honest and trustworthy, but it re-
uuired considerable diplomacy in
trading with them. For instance,
in weighing sugar for one of them
should the clerk let an overweight
of it into a sack and then begin to
remove some of it Mr.. Indian was
angry. He suspected that he was
being cheated and in many cases
would refuse to take the sugar.
FREDERICK POST HAD A
LITTLE FLOUR MILL.
Frederick Post had a two burr
flour mill on the present site of the
new Washington Water Power Co
building, just south of the Post
street bridge, at that time and
Post street was named in his honor.
"A. M. Cannon and a partner
named Warner had little sawmill
with a daily capacity of 1000 or 5000
feet of lumber, right where the
Sawmill Phoenix is now, and they
also conducted little store at the
northwest corner of Howard and
Front. Soon afterward Frederick &
Berg opened a new store. with a
general line of goods at the south
west corner of Main avenue and
Howard street, and these were the
only two general stores in the vii
lage of Spokane Falls.
s. HEATH, NOW CAPITALIST,
WAS A GROCERY CLERK.
IS. Heath, owner of the Heath
block and Heath's addition on the
north side, now one of the wealthy
men of the city, was a grocery clerk
in Cannon & Warmers store. Be.
fore the year of 70 was over, Spo-
kane was experiencing its first
promising building BOOM A man
named Goldsmith and F. r. Moore,
later an extensive owner in the
Wardner mines and a director of
the First National bank, built
what we thought then was very
fine store at the southeast corner OF
Front and Howard. on the present
site of the Occur d'Alene hotel. II
was a small affair, but it looked all
to the good.
SUPPLIES ALL BROUGHT
ACROSS THE PRAIRIE.
"All supplies for these trading
places were freighted in. They
were shipped up the Snake river
from the coast to Texas Ferry OF
Penewawa and sometimes in the
winter we had to freight the stuff
all the way over from Walla Walla
This made prices on some things
from the east pretty high, though
many common lines of foodstuffs
were about as cheap as now. We
didn't even have nickles. Bits
(12h cents) was the lowest price
quoted on anything, and the early
settlers expected nothing better

Jim Rusk were never learned. He
had wife and six children, one
of them wee infant. Jim was
elected city marshal, and after
serving for few months he rugged
up a pack horse and started for
Stevens county by himself, on a
fishing trip.
Days passed and nothing was
heard from Rusk. Public suspicion
was aroused because of his silence
and another posse was formed to
search for him. His friends found
where he had built a fire and put
up for one night at Deadman camp,
and shortly afterward the found his
saddle in the shallow water of
Deadman creek. His horse was

and was taken to Cheney. That

TOLL AND SACRIFICE ALL FOR
NAuGHT.
Those were the saddest days
Spokane ever knew. All that its
enterprising people had fought and
struggled and made sacrifices for
throughout many long years were
reduced TIC ruins by the greedy
flames-all because of that open
valve. Yet the pioneers who had
braved the dangers of the west;
who had foreseen the possibilities
of a city by the falls, though dug
from the very rocks, as destiny
would have it, were not discour-
aged. Right from the smouldering
ashes of the destroyed city grew
up the greatest competition in
building pride, commercial strug-
gle and enterprise known to the
northwest That early competition
was the father of the inspiring
spirit of boosting that is still firing
Spokane's people on to do great
things today.

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 1910.
1T is COMING OUR WAY.

The announcement that Judge F
M. Calkins of the circuit court has
authorized the receiver OF the Gold
y Drift Mining company to issue
certificates OF Indebtedness to the
amount Of $25, 900 to make the re-
pairs on the dam will be good news
to the many readers Of the Courier,
as II will ensure irrigation for 1911.
Good news also comes from Mr.. Will
liams, of the Rogue River Irrigation
and Power company, who has been
for some days In Chicago looking
after the financial interests of his
company. He telegraphs to Presi-
dent Gilkey, OF the Josephine County
Irrigation and Power company, that
he has been enabled to enlist some
strong men to make up the capital
necessary for his company.
The action OF Judge Calkins In
the matter OF certificates OF indebt-
edness and this last good news re-
ceiyed from Mr.. Williams, when
taken together with the railroad sit
uation in Josephine county, means
much for this section at the present
time, and It will help to build up our
Industrial and business interests
Things are moving at brisk pace
and coming our way. II is to be
hoped that even the knocker will
take back seat for n while. and
also that other fellow who is no
better than he should be and claims
TO be from Missouri" and whenever
you tell him some piece OF news
wants TO be shown"

in this valley, but 1t may be that II
will take a year or two to construct
the dam and bitches. There has
been talk of consolidating the in
terest OF the Golden Drift and the
Rogue River Irrigation and Power
company, with the view to not only
furnishing water for irrigation and
domestic purposes, but also to sup
ply power for electric lights and
manufacturing This would be an
important step and It Is to be hoped
that the parties in interest will get
together on some basis and effect
the consolidation. This is so import
ant that the prosperity Of Josephine
county depends to very large ex-
tent on the proposed plans and pur-
poses.
A large majority of the people OF
this county believe that the future
welfare of this city and vicinity de-
pends almost entirely on irrigation
and therefore everybody is willing
and anxious to take the shortest
course to secure the desired end. 1t
was a great misfortune to have the
dam go out last fall, but II 1t Is re-
paired before the flood waters come
down the Rogue this year, no great
damage will have been done, as the
months since the dam was injured
have contributed largely in an edu-
catlonal way to irrigation. We have
all learned much about irrigation
within the past months and have
also learned to appreciate it to the
fullest extent. We can now believe
that the placing OF our farms under
may be the means OF bring
ing great prosperity to both county
and city. The assurance that water
will be available next year will in
duce hundreds OF people to clear
and prepare land this winter to be
fnted next spring. Thousands OF
ocres Of apples, pears and peaches
will be planted in 1911 and hundreds
atd thousands OF tons OF alfalfa and
other forage crops will be put in and
on the lands under the
bitches that have been and will be

people to the number of 500, 1t is
announced, will be here to do their
part in making the fair a success.
they will not only send this number
of people, but will make one OF the
grandest fruit displays ever brought
to a fair. Medford and Jacksonville
will undoubtedly come with all their
products and will send delegation
OF fruit growers, stock growers and
mining men. Josephine county will
be Obliged to look we'll to its laurels
on this occasion, for It can not af-
ford to be outdone. Everything that
is produced in this section should be
on exhibit. We have the material
in our county to hold up its repu-
tation and every man and woman in
the county should feel enough in
terest in this friendly competition
with other sections of the district
to bring in everything that may add
to the Importance Of the exhibit at
this fair. Remember the time

WILL BE KINDLY REMEMBERED

The people of the northwest will
always kindly remember President
Taft for his prompt action in order
ing government troops to help ex-
tinguish the fires which menaced
their homes and lives. A govern
ment of the people should assist the
people in times Of disaster. The presi-
dent proves that he understands the
foundation of disagreement when
he comes to the aid OF those in dis
tress. The forest service confines
It's attention to the forest reserves
but the army covers broader field
and helps the stricken everywhere.
