Tho city of Spokane Falla is yet in
the days of ils youth. Here, hut a briol
dorade ago, there was scarce ly more than
a sign of huuioii inhabitants. 1' day
fifteen thousand souls comprise tlii
bright, well-ordered metropolis, Itn-t'iog
with life and energy. With utiles (I
er.oh d streets, water works, cl. ctric
lights, street railways, fire d. partaient,
telephone system, free trail delirtry,
parks boulevards, aud as handsome busi
ness blocks as can be lourd outlie
l'aeilie slope. It is oua of the must
attractive cities m the Northwest. The
chief reason that Spokane Falls is cs
sentially metropolitan is, that the people
here are mostly from laree cities in tin
East and South. The urbane ileutrm
predominates. The necessities gr itving
out of its rapid development are prompt
ly and intelligently met. With nearly
twenty churches, a large number of
flourishing fraternities, colleges, public
and private schools, society here has
I
!
I

;
passed the formative condition aud is a
fixed and well defined as iu any of tin
older cities of tho East A decade hence
and tve shall have fully fifty thousand
inhabitants. A multitude of util!
be oligned upon the shores ot out
wonderful river, and the hum of a
thousand wheels will be attuned to the
song of human industry. The iron
eroue of gigiulie transportation lines will
reach out lioui here iu many ways to all
parts of the country, beuntig our gold
aud silver, our grain, lumber aud wools,
aud Spokane Falls will he kuuwu abroad
as tbe greatest iulaui city of the North
west.
Situated as this city is, midway be
tweeu tho heavily populated portion ol'
Montana and l'uget Sound, midway
between Rritish Columbia aud Oregon—
the chief point of interest and imp >rt
aueu in Kistern Washington—it is the
natural and acknowledged center of trade
and transportation. It will soon become I
a main point iu other systems besides |
that of the Northern Pacifie railway. !
Already tho Union Pacifie is striving to I
secure access to this city through ils
lease of the Oregon Railway d: Naviga
tion Company. This will reach the city
from tho south, and the read is coui
w| b j
pleted to Rockford, a point but twenty- ;
four miles distant. This will give our
city a second line to Portland, and new 1
Eastern connections. The completion of j
the Seattle, Lake Shore & Eastern rail-.
way, oue hundred miles of which is uow !
in operation, will give us a second lin
lo Puget Sound. Ruth of the above
roads will be completed within the next
eighteen months. The Northern Pucific
will soon be operating three important j
branch lines—the Spokane & Palouse,
the Spokauc & Idaho aud tho Rig Rmd
line, besides (he main truuk line—Irani
this city. The magnitude of the rail
road business of Spokane Falls has
become generally known, and naturally
. . 7 J . ' 1 :
invites the attention of other great |
companies to this place. The receipts of!
the freight department alone for Spokane
during the past month was 3200,000.
The earnings of the month proceeding
was 8100,000. According to tho annual
report of tho Northern Pacific Railway
• Company, the receipts on the freight

1831 until 1811. Tim mission had by
that time procured another ax, and thi
ooe was scot to the missionaries who
were building tb.ir home at Clatsop.
The ''Chinook steamer'' (*ti Indian
canoe) on which the ax and other sup
plies had been started down the river
struck a snag at Ray's Lauding, and the
ax, together with other tools aud supplies
was sunk. A month latrr the ax was

fished out of the river, and seut on to
the Clatsop mission, where it did ail the

Iu 1843 I was placed in eLarje of the
Clatsop mission, and the ax came into
my possession. I have kept it ever
since. It was iu my house which was
burned last November. 1 was afraid
that its temper had been taken out by
tbe heat; hut I hud it jjruund for this
occasion, a new handle put iu, aud it is
as good as ever it was. 1 intend now to
inscribe it with its interesting history,
and thou deposit it ia ihv museum of the
Willamette University. '

Father Parrish, at the conclusion of
his speech, knelt down, with the remark,
"We Methodists are use to doing work
on our kuees," and lilting the short
handled ax ah ivc his head, brought it
down w ith vigorous strokes until the first
spike had been driven home.
Then three cheers for the Salem street
railway and for Father Parrish were
given by the crowd with a will, and the
track layers proceeded with the work of
laying the rails.

j Several of our exchanges have issued
extended New Y'ear editions, which con
! tli jn graphic descriptions of what lias
been achieved during the past year in
(heir vicinity, and prophesy for the
future, basing tbeir prophezei upon tho
progress made during the last twelve
j months. These prophesies scorn not to
i, avc b ,. en written with an overdrawn
imaiaginulion but seem quite probable.
Tbe Oreyoninn and Spokane Review
seem lo be the foremost of tlioac ex
changes we have yet received and they
" h .'7 a remarkable growth contrasted
: with years preceding, and ll their
| pc.jjtqinns com« auywhere near fulfill
of! meut, the ensuing year will tell of greater
achievements than tho most sangurue
umoug us can now conceive. It may be
that Lewiston will come in for a share of
tho growth of 1880, but not if the
drones of our population continue to
have the control of our destinies. They
arc not up to tbe spirit of tbe age.
