the time of KilwaM 111. .But It was
not. unknown before that time, and
even nt that time It was not the dis

Spokane, Wash.1, '"''March. 11. John S.

ed the charter under, which, Spokane
was incorporated in; 1881, when Rob

vania, was elected v'Ii' tttt' tiidf l
on the way east to visit his birthplact'
and boyhood home in Monroe county,
Iowa,' after an, absence of 41' years.
'; "I have seen. the passing of the fron
tier days In the northwest!" Mr. Gray
said in Spokane just before starting
for his old home. "It is not now nor
never was an Eldorado for the sol
dier of fortune or the. shiftless. Brains
and ability count for as' much, west of
the Rocky mountains as anywhere on
this continent. It Is not the place for
drones. The cities' are well supplied
with clerks, craftsmen' and other, wage
earners, but there Is room and nead
on the farms for 20 times the present
population. ; ', . " , ,
"Tho western 'country needs earn
est and ambitious men and women
who understand mixed farming, who
can milk cows and are not too proud
to set hens. They should have sonie
capital. The heyday of the bonanza
ororseback farmer Is gone for all
time and the frontier has been wiped
out forever. There Is' more than a
comfortable living in diversified farm

Falls when I came to the northwest
In 1871. Wownoy and his partner
were the .first settlers. They came In
1872 and settled near the site of the
Monroe street bridge across the Spo
kane river. The first grist and' saw
mill was erected In ,1876, the water
of the river furnishing the power to
turn the old-fashioned wheel, The
first newspaper was established in
1879 by Francis M. Cook, who', has re
tired to devote his attention to his
holdlngs on Mount Bnldy. A bank wa?

which followed along the'lines of the
charter previously' adopiie by Golden

"One of the things ,that has always
Impressed me Is that the chambers of
commerce and allied organizations are
devoting so much attention to the out
side and tributary districts. Hundreds
of thousands of dollars have been ex
pended in developing and settling the
