Editor Now Age: It Is a gratifying
circumstance to be ablo to present un
disputable evidence of the progress of
n race taust by the brother in whlto
to possess no particular virtues or
to be of no consequence and by many
of our own people their prowess for
accumulation questioned and their
thrifty habits and steadfastness of
purpose, often brought into con
tempt or rldlculo by the vory people
that Bhould stimulate and .encourage
these sterling attributes and chaiac
Urlstlcs; the followlgnarrayofflgures
present a more formidable argument
than mere words that in this "neck
of wood," wo are getting there grand
ly. Fifteen years ago when I landed
iii this burg their were less than a half
dozen taxpayers, today their is nearly
a hundred, and this too in the face of
the fuct that the tendency In all tin.'
Western cities of any consequence,
rh far as rcsidenco is concerned,
among our people, Is of a migratory
character, a kind- of tomporary two
or three months affair and then they
are oft to other fields and climes,
There has been perhaps in the past
10 years three to live thousand color
ed people who have been here for u
short time, looked over the situation
and moved on; this class of people arc
merely out to see the country, and
many of them are looking for a "good
time town." Wo cannot well br
placed in that category, us the good
peoplo here are moro concerned in
properly raising their families, ac
quiring a competency and as a wholo
are more God-fearing than any other
community of its size in the United
'States. Howover, ob the "riff raff
and rabblo" have disappeared there
bus camo a steady stream of new
comers who havo done much to build
up the community, tho churches,
lodces and Bocicty In general, and wo
point with pride to our record. Let the
tax rolls of Spokane County speak
and toll the story, comparisons win
not be mnde, thoy might prove lnvld
Ioub and , create some friction, so
the real property, or land held by tho
coloicd peoplo of our city has only
been given. Among those- paying
