Daily Democrat OLD OKKtiON. Spokane Falls, April 6ih, 1SS9, Editort Democrat : The Spokane citv election resulted in electing the citizen's ticket with one excep tion. Republicans ran a straight ticket for the first time In citv elections, headed by Mr. Burns, highly spoken of, but a con tractor, fur Mayor, and this may have been the cause of defeat. Bailey of the Windsor, democrat, would have made a tine Mayor, lie ft hold over Councilman. The exac tions now on city officers for all sorts of improvements will make it difficult to re duce the city debt. We offer a compara tive statement. Three months at Spokane Falls, ending March 31st this year.the real estate sales amounted to $3.57-993-75-Thls is over $So,coo more than the real estate sales of Portland, Fast Portland and Albina for the fame length of time. Portland and placesnamed together have more than four times the population of Spokane rails. Business men here are staggered at this wonderful tide of development. There are as many causes given as there are men nearly, for this rush into real estate. And there seems to be no abatement of this t raze. Every Inducement Is offered the purchaser to effect a sale, and but little time is wasted on a trade. A large portion of these sales a:e for Investment. The old settlers promise a re-action in business, and they have looked for it 60 long that they are left. Still strangers are pouring into the city . The rail roads that center here are the North Pacific, the Seattle, Lake Shore and Eastern, the Spokane and Palouse, the Spo kane Northern, the O R ft X, with twenty miles to finish, and the N P road that con nects with Couer D'Alene Railway & Navigation, running to Sherman and the mines. Indians in this country have very large bone and are a muscular race, tall, quick in motion and brave. They are pictures of health. This would indicate a healthv country if one was acclimated. In the Pa louse section and around the Falls country native horses have very large bone, much larger than horses in western Oregon or Washington. As with the Indians and horses farther west, there can be no favor able comparison in this respect with th Indians and horses in this eastern country mentioned. This would indicate great lime belts, which follow in mineral regions and which impregnate the water. Indians are peaceable and law abiding without li quor. There are street cars, motcr roads and cable roads in the city. Whoever gets work receives good wages, but no one should leave a good situation elsewhere to risk a chance of getting work here. Every man who comes here must take his foot in his hand and be ready to meet any misfor tune that may arise, even to walking away. If no misfortune overtakes him he may be considered lucky. Y.ung men of fixed and good habits seldom go begging for good situations in any country. They are not as numerous now days as those little flies that are found in hot biscuits of a morning breakfast at Los Angeles. Many things arc expensive here,but as in Oregon, vegetables, except potatoes, are used from California market, a disgrace to the coun try. Hams and bacon from eastern mark ets are cheaper than in western Oregon . The cost of living may be on sn average a trifle higher than in th Willamette or Portland But hotels and rcsturants arc no higher. They are graded fro.n 25 cents meal up. hat will this country be when the lands of the several Indian reservation are thrown open. Oklahoma will be no where. Moses' reservation would make nearly a hundred miles square ; the Yakima, Coucr D'Alene and the Umatilla reservations are of no mean pretensions compared with that of Moses. Then comes the Klamath res ervation w ith 160,000 acres. Moses and Couer D'Alene reservations are largely mineral, the latter predominating in lead and gold, the former In silyer. Though both car.-y the same metals. The Okeno gan mines carry more silver and less lead than the Couer D'Alene. The Klamath country is better for stock and timber, and settlers aro going in there in great num bers. Two hundred thousand acres of the Klamath is all that will be required in the allotment that will be made to the Indians. What will Oregon and Washington be in ten years from this time ? New people are coming and will soon be In the inajoiity. In talking with a lady, who has been in the country less than a year, we learned that want of knowledge heretofore of our re sources and climate has kept back thousands that are now coming here. Her experience was that of too many others. She said s-e and her husband had lived In Nebraska ten years, In Dakota eight years, worked hard for a living.now her husband was out of health from overwork and she was teach ing school for a living. Her hair was gray. Only had she known of this country when she was married Mie would have es caped many hardships. There are thou sands of this class In other states and terri tories. Old Oregonians and old Washing tonlans are making great mistakes when they sell all of their land. They will never get their homes back If they sell them, fifty a:rt and the home should be reserved in all cases. There Is no more country covered with the title of "Old Oregon" to be had. And he who parts with his home In this great territory Is not wise. He may and should if a large land owner divide it, so that others may enjoy It with him. Money does not make a farmer's home un less it is owned by the occupant. Itinerant. Some days ago when the news came that Harrisoon had appointed Miles C Moore gover nor of Washington territory, the Oregonian pronounced the apiointment an excellent one, or words to that effect. Some years ago when the bills were pending before congress providing for a forfeiture of N 1' land grants, this man, Moore, who is said to be the owner of half a million dollars worth of preferred stock in the N P railroad, called a number of public meet ings at which congress was memorialized not to pass the bills. It was charged at the time I by the Orrgomau that these memorials were prepared in the office of Taul gcaulze the manager of the lands of that railroad company. If our memory does not mislead,the Oregouian denounced Moore as the tool of the N P and that he was unworthy of the confidence of the people. Now we are told by this same paper that his appointment to the governorship is a good one. That paper has no disposition to be any thing else now than a very humble, sub servient organ of its party. Senator Colnuitt, of 1'ieorria. is one of ihr finest specimens of physical manhood in the Senate. He towers five inches above the aver age pedestrian, and his face is as strontr mtl. lectually as his body is in blood arid sinew. He dresses neatly, in a rather clerical fashion, and his cleanly shaven face has a ministerial ap pearance. Colquitt is about sixty vars of ape and is not a rich man. Under the Cleveland regime he enjoyed great consideration, as President Cleveland took a great dislike to his colleague, Senator Brown. 5 SPECIALTIES.
