DEACEFUL VALLEY is in Spokane.
1 Wsah- Spokane is especially proud
Of the fact that is has no slums.
Peaceful Valley takes the place OF
them.
Hangman creek used TO be a rival
Of Peaceful Valley for slum honors in
Spokane, but for some time now the
Haugman Creek neighborhood has
been cleaned up and is lined with
small, tidy white homes. boasting OF
equally small and attractive truck
gardens Thus Peaceful Valley is left
alone in its isreputabiity.
in the old days some % years ago
and just before SDokaue's terrible fire,
Peaceful Valley was christened Pow
erty Flats'-a regular Bret Harte type
Of nomenclature. But as Spokane be-
came more citified and self-conscious.
the name Poverty Flats was changed
to the more hopeful and pleasant
sounding title OF Peaceful Valley.
Peaceful Valley is a tiny community
and lies on the south bank Of the rush
ing Spokane river. In fact, Peaceful
Valley lies so close 10 the river that
al times during high water a number
Of little shacks too near the waters
edge have been washed away.
While 20 the western mind the little

Peaceful Valley, which are mostly
Wnltewashed and set close together
on narrow roadways. spell slackness

spirit on the part Of the inhabitants.

While one looks down on Peaceful

Of Spokane and notes the space around
nearly every little house. the trees, the
children and chickens and cats and
dogs playing in the unfenced front
