KETTLE FALLS CENTENNIAL.
On June 28 we will have a centennial
celebration in the Inland Empire that
nhuuid receive confederation. We refer
to the one hundredth anniversary of the
discovery of Kettle falls by David
Thompson on June 23, 1811. Thomp
-8 >n waH one of IJugiand'H threat geogra
phers and explorers. He named the
falls after the Indian name given by the
Flatheadu—llth-coy-ope—meaning ket
tle, a name derived from the many holes
or "kettles" worn in the rocks by revolv
ing stones tossed about by the onrush
ing waters. Kettle falls is said to be
the greatest water power in the United
States outside of Niagara. The Colum
bia river, in a broad sweep, plunges with
irresistible force over a ledge of rocks,
the roar being heard for miles. During
the high-water stage the scene is grand
beyond description. It is during the
low-water period, however, when the
roar of water is subdued and the "ket
ties" are presented to view that interest
centers most intensely around the spot.
Scores of "kettles" are seen of all sizes,
as round and perfect and smooth as the
highly polished brass kettles of happy
memory of our foremothers, which, alas,
are seldom seen these days. During the
low water stage the water is still in these
" kettles," rising to within a few feet of
the surface, and a stone dropped in ap
parently loses itself in space, as it ia
seldom heard to strike bottom. la this
particular the falls are unique and out of
the usual. Kettle river empties into the
Columbia a few miles above the falls.
Many people aro under the impression
that the falls are on this river and derive
their name from that stream. Such is
not the case.
The centennial celebration on the 23d
of next month will be under the auspices
of the pioneer association of Stevens
county. It will take the form of a huge
picnic. There will foe speeches and ad
dresses of welcome, of course, but all
will be done in the open. And the place
is ideal for the purpose. The surround
ings are picturesque. The visitor will
be constantly in the presence of the
beautiful as well as the grand in nature.
Just above the falls can be seen the re
mains of an old building pat up in 1836,
when the Hudson's Bay Company dom
inated this Northwest country. Not a
nail was used in the construction of this
ancient relic.
The Kettle falls are near the Spokane
Falls & Northern railroad, and can be
reached from Colfuxand all pointH in the
Inland Empire from a half day to a
day's ride by rail. The event is as inter
eetingaod important as most centennial
events, albeit distance does not "lend en
chantment to the view," which seems to
be the main attraction in the minds of
most tourists. To those who believe in
seeing " Washington first" the Kettle
f ills centennial celebration should not be
lost sight of.
SOME OF THE RESULTS.
Tacoma has had its fill of recall elec
tions. Tacoma is an example of what
can happen, and what will frequently
happen, under the recall, which seems to
have seized the people of the coast of
late. It has paralyzed business in Ta
coma. The perpetual election business,
with the strife and acrimony usually at
tending such events, is enough to par
alyze any community.
Seattle had a recall election not long
ago, in which Mayor Gill and the council
under him were recalled. The reform
ticket (so-called) promised wonderful
things. The Poet Intelligencer, which
took a hand in the recall business and
belabored Gill unmercifully, now rises to
remark :
"For constructive work the present
city council is a disappointment to the
citizens who did the n?ost for their elec
tion, and it is particularly a disappoint
ment to this newspaper, which was the
only one in the city which supported
these nine individuals for election.
"01 these nine men, who are supposed
to have some ability, some seriousness
of thought, and a patriotic regard for
the rights of the people who elected
them, the record up to this time is a
severe indictment.
"It is a record of inefficiency and ex
travagance, of flippancy and cheap
pandering to the whims and prejudices
of the popular fancy, playing to the
anarchistic journalism of the sewer, and
with juet enough of the odor of punk in
it to suggest that demagogues may
have had some part in making it."
The Seattle paper further says that
the "members of the council have spent
too much time wrangling and jangling
overinconsequentials. They have ridden
too many bobbies."
A monument over the hitherto neglect
ed grave of Charles L'Enfant, who served
during the revolution and planned the
city of Washington, was unveiled Mon
day at Arlington cemetery. President
Taft, Senator Root of New York and
Ambassador Juserand of France spoke.
He served upon Washington's staff dur
ing the revolution. After the war he
entered into the practice of architecture
and engineering, laying out the city of
Buffalo, making additions to Independ
ence hall, Philadelphia, and doing other
notable work. Paris and other cities
have followed the principle established
by him. He spent the last days of his
life at Chilbam Castle Manor, the estate
of William Dudley Diggs, where he died
in 1825 and was buried. His remains
were removed to Arlington in April,
VJO'J. His fame as an architect and
engineer will last as long as the republic.
The pleasing information comes that
by the use of business methods advo
cated by Governor Hay during the last
two years the state board of control has
managed to return to the general fund
$214.74.") 50 out of the money appro
priated by the 1009 legislature to main
tain the institutions under the charge of
the board. The biggest sum was turned
back by the state penitentiary at Walla
Walla, which failed to use $143,059 out
of the $678,980 appropriated. The
eastern Washington hospital for the in
sane turned back $10,895; the school
for the feeble-minded $32,307 and other
institutions the remainder. This is a
record that should count with the voters
and taxpayers of the state when the
time comes to elect a governor. It is
results the people want, not "spectac
ular" displays.
The whole Northwest is interested in
the inauguration of through passenger
service on the Milwaukee railway, which
is scheduled to begin Monday, May 29.
At that time trains will be started
from Chicago and Seattle simultaneously,
each one headed for the other city. This
event will mark the completion of another
transcontineatal railroad from Puget
Sound to the East. It ia known as "The
New Steel Trail." Two trains will be run
each way daily. The running time will
be 72 hours each way. The equipment
for this service cost $2,000,000 and is
entirely new.
Ex-Mayor Scbmitz of San Francisco is
reported in Mexico broke. The half
million dollars or more of boodle which
he obtained has been dissipated through
bad investments. He escaped going to
the pen with Bossßeuf by a technicality.
He has a fine home, however, in San
Francisco in the name of his wife.

"Wheat crop prospects in the state of
Washington are 50 per cent better than
they were at this time last year," said
State Grain Inspector C. J. Hoist, while
in Seattle Monday. '"In fact, condition*
at the moment are as satisfactory as
they could be. The acreage is also
larger than it was a year ago. Little
or no acreage uas been abandoned this
season." All of which sounds good.
The Chicago Tribune, wishing to ascer
tain the opinion of American editors on
the question of reciprocity with Canada
and tariff legislation in general, is pend
ing out question circulars for them to till
out. They are also asked to name what
articles they think should be placed on
the free list. Will this vote settle the
business ?
And now we are told that Roosevelt is
