A GLIMPSE OF THE PAST.

. Through the kindness of H. O. Brown
this office is in receipt of fac smile
copy of the first issue of the Spokane
Falls Evening Chronicle, dated Sep
TENDER 81 1886, just 20 years ago. The
Evening Chronicle IS first issued, was
six column, four page paper, and this
diminutive replica is an exact reproduce
ton of the original publication. The
publishers were Routhe & Cowley the
most likeable gentlemen ever connect
ed with journalism in the history of
Spokane. Mr.. Cowley is one of the very
earliest pioneer residents of that city,
first coming into the Spokane country
as a missionary preacher. He secured
possession of the weekly Chronicle
early in 1888. He is still living, an
honored and highly respected citizen
of Spokane. Maj. Routhe was force
full and brilliant writer, and a prince of
good fellows. He died in Los Angeles
several years ago.
That most fraterna1 telling existed
between the publishers of the two pa
.pers at that time in existence in Spo-
kane Falls is indicated by the follow
of it's initial date:
Our enterprising contemporary, the
Daily Review, came out enlarged in
size this morning, well filled with news
and advertisements, which bespeaks it's
popularity and the warm appreciation
in which it is held by our live citizens
Vive la Review"
Looking over this old paper carries
us back to the halcyon days of Spokane
when we were in the prime of life,
buoyed up by bright hopes and high
ambitions that were never to be full
filled. Still, for all that, those We're
happy days, crowded with the zest of
accomplishment, when in conjunction
with the Chronicle the Review stood
Loyalty to Spokane, the publishers con-
tributing their very best towards build
ing up what in comparatively very
few years has become one of the won
der cities of the west. Both the Chron-
icle and Review have become great
metropolitan dailies, ard if the pub
fishers in early days did no. reap any
material reward they have the satisfac-
ton of knowing mat they laid the
foundations for publications that will
live long after they have passed away
and are forgotten.
While looking over and enjoying this
little sheet the pleasure gives way to
a feeling of sadness by reading the
names of those we were at one time
closely associated with, who have join
ed the silent majority. Among the ia
miliar names that are now only to be
found carved on enduring marble are
those O: Maj. Routhe, J. B. Allen, Hi

NAVY TRIES OUT NEW PLAYS.
Won Heimburg Back in the Game at
Naval Academy.

The Naval Academy squad devoted
Monday afternoon to signals and for
maticn practice. including the trying
out of several new plays, which look
ed promising.
Won Heimburg. the fourth classman.
who had begun to do some good punt
ing and running. was back in the game
after vacation of week. Won Helm
burg injured his teeth and lips, and
while it was painful, his playing will
not be handicapped.
Captain Miles was on the field in uni
from. and it is now thought that his in
juries will not keep him out of the
game as long as had been feared. The
navy people believe that the team is
improving slowly, but that ii will have
itself together soon and play a much
stronger game. Craig. Vail. Davis and
Won Heimburg were in the backfeld
during Mondays practice.
There is special satisfaction over the
good work of Davis in Saturdays game
and it is felt that he will make strong
running mate for Martin. who has been
called upon to do most of the carrying
of the ball so far this season.

Our country is to-day house divided
against itself in opinion about the near
future Of values. There is very nearly
entire agreement on many basic facts and
on the war factor itself as making for
prolonged Improvement. The difference OF
opinion is almost solely about politics. II
Washington would only spike the guns
which II stll keeps loaded and levclled
at business ideas and interests all the in
nueuCes for Improvement would have un-
Murdered scope. Conditions are in the
way OF Improvement and will in the long
run get better in spite of politics, hut tho
political temper and the political attitude
which Washington eNemplihes make the
going much harder work for corporate
endcavor and corporate finance.

programme of political disturbance has

persistent political efforts to launch fresh
experiments while business has yet TO be
