The Morning Aci Annua) Trade Review— A Few The Mornino News’ Annual Trade Re- Yiew, containing a complete and compre hensive statement of the business of Savan nah, w ill be issued early iu September. The year ending Sspt. 1, 1889, will be a memorable one ii the history of Savannah, and the Morning) News proposes to give the widest publicity to what Savannah has done, is doing, and proposes to do in the near future. Thero is no better way in which tho outside world can be informed of what is going on in a community than through the columns of its newspapers. The Mornino News i t its forthcoming Trade Review will show by facta and figures that Savannah is one of the most progressive and healthy cities in the union, and that her ciiiztns, judgi-g from what they have done during the last year, are fully alive to the great ess of her future. They have proven by the various local im provements they have made, and by the active interest they have manifested iu railroads projected for her benefit, that they are nut afraid to invest their money within her limits. They have demonstrated beyond all doubt that they havo confide ce iu her great natural advantages, and that they believe that her deep water harbor and her great railroad systems will, in a few years, make her the greatest seaport city in the south. The Morning News will, in its Trade Rovsew, presentto the word "Savannah ol to-day,” in a resume of what has hereto fore appeared in its columns. The review will be in such shape that, at a glance, it will be seen what has been accomplished during the vear. The Trade Review will contain articles showing the bu iuess of the city during the year and present indisputable facts which promise a steadily increasing prosperity. It will este biidh the fact that there is no healthier city in the south and none more pleasant iu which to live aud do business either in summer or winter. It will prove by figures that Savannah is without a rival on the South Atlantic coast, and that by their acts her citizens •how that they are satisfied that She is only at tho beginning of her commercial greatness. The Trade Review will be printed in the usual form, and will be a newspaper which those who feel a pride in their city will take pleasure in sending to their friends. It will afford business men an opportun ity of sayiug something about their business and themselves. It is hoped that in size, as well as in other respects, it will sur ass every previous edition. That, however, depends entirely upon the orders it re ceives from advertisers. It is desired to distribute 50,000 copies, and that number will be distributed, if the response of the business men is as prompt and liberal as we have roaion to believo it will be. Orders for advertising or for copies of the paper can be handed in at the business office, or, if desired, they will be called for by- the canvassers. Commissioner Tanner says that Secretary Noble is a very lovable man, but he neg lects to say that he loves him very much. The probability is that he doesn’t. People who have not read enough about that very young person, Baby McKee, can get a saiisfying dose iu Sunday’s New York Herald. Why should any newspaper print five columns about Baby AlcKeei The Tare Must be Adjust vd. The New O leans Cotton Exeha ‘go has taken the pr >per course to settle the tar e issue wh ch has grown out of tne introduc tion of cott >n biggine. It is evident that it must be settled s toner or lat r, and the wise thing to d.is tv settle it at one?. Tne Liverpool exe.iange doss uot se -in lispose 1 to recognize the fact that anew covering for cotiou has been adopted, aid that be tween 1,000,000 and 2,000.000 bales will b e covered wah it this seas m. It acts as if its action were all-powerful, and w mid prevent the use of cotton discover that Liverp >ol will have to tn .e cotton in the cover! :g in vhich the c itto.i planters are nlease.l to se id it to market. The cotton merchants in this country have found out that the cotto i planters are iu earnest in their fight with the jute hag'ing trust, and like wiss men they a e preparing to adjust their me hods of handling cotton to the change 1 conditions. In order to prevent confusion and annoy ance it is nece-sary that there should lie the same rules at all th cotton p rts with re spect to the two kinds of baggi g. At New Orleans it is prop eed that the tare allow a ce for cotton covered with jute shad be 5 per cent., as at pres *nt, and for that cov ered with cotton ll' .j per cent. This seams to be fair, and w lull oo doubt bo sa'isfac tory to the cot on planters. If the ex changes, tbrourh t .-ir representatives, get together it will not take the n very long to reaci an ag-eenent that will meet with general approval. Tin cotton planters want no more than w hat is fair. It is manifestly unfair tv re quire the same tare on cotton covered with cot on fugging as on teat covered with jute bagging, because there is a very c insider able ililfereuco iu the weight of the two kinds of bagging. The cotton planters are in a much Ivnt ter position tha i ever before to demand such treatment as they consider just from those who purchase th dr cotto i, and they will nitbesi iw to oxerciso their power if they feel it necessary to do so. Re sides being linn cially hotter (iff than at any tbltS*§fnee tho war they have an organi zation which is strong in ail tho cotton growing states, ana which enables them to act in harmony. Of course different tares for the two kinds of bagging will cause factors and ex porters tr übia, auil i upo e upon the n move work. They will have to carry these extra burdens, however, until c >tton bag ging wholly dis laces juto bagging, if that is to bo I he outcome of the fight that is now being made against the jute bagging trust. No doubt all the other cottvn exchanges in the cou itry will join with the New Or lea s exeha ge in trying t > effect a settle ment of this tare issu >. Indeed, they cannot very well avoid doing so, eve i if they are not in sympathy wuh it. There is no rea son for thinking, however, that thoy ar v not in svmpathy with i% It is certain that the Savannah exchange recognizes that a settlement of it is necessary at tho earliest possible monte t. The presid nt of the Sava mah exchange, in a communication to the president of the Liverp iol exc la ige, a few days ago, intimated pretty strong y to that exoha ige that it was not displaying wisdom by wasting ti ne in pointing out objections to evtton baggi g, became tha o 'tto i planters had leterinino 1 to use as much of that kind of bagging as they could get, a id that a great deal of cotton would be covered with it t lis seaso i. He sug ges.ed, and very properly, ihe a Ivilability of dropping the discus-ion of cbjec .io is a 1 1 the taking up of tho question of the adjust ment of tho tare for cotton marke ed iu the new covering. The Substitute for Mr. Tuck’s Bill. In our Atlanta dispatch this morning will he found the full text of the the bill which the committee has substitued for Mr. Tuck’s bill. The substitute, while it differs in some important respects from the original bill, is intended to accomplish the purpose which the framer of the original bill had in view. It provides that cotton on ship board damaged by fire wnile within the waters of the state may be taken possession of by the owne s or insurers of it, and dis posed of in such a way ns they may think will best protect their interests. The bill appears to be a good one. The expenses to which c vttvn damaged by fire while on shipboard are subjected are a source of a great deal of complaint. The insurance companies contend that the not amount realized from it is not anywhere near as gioat as it ought to be. They are powerle s, however, to reduce the expenses under existiug practices and laws, and it is probable that the pending bill has their support with the hope that if it becomes a law it will afford them some relief. The planters and exporters are as much interested iu the bill almost as t e insur ance companies. If the insurance com panies incur heavy losses they are almost certain to ucrcnse insurance rates. The insurance, of courses c vmes out of the planter in the long run, because the ex porter, in bidding for cotton, takes into consideration the cost of insurance. The export* s, however, are anxious that the rate* shall be as low as possible, because the lower they are the better are the prices which they can offer for cotton. If there are objections tv tho bill, they will be heard, doubtless, when the b.ll conies up for discussion. If there are re isons why it should uot become a law, they should be presented to tho legislature without unnec essary delay. The newspapers have waged war upon Cigarettes for some years, aud lately some of the state legisia.ures have joined them. New York now has a law prohibiting the sale of cigarettes to miuors. A similar law was proposed in the Pennsylvania legisla ture, but the bill was not passed. The lower branch of the Michigan legislature has just passed such a bill, and the Georgia legislature has given some time to the sub ject and will give more. It. remains to be seen whether the cigarette evil can he checked by legislation, but the experiment is worth making. The New York legislature, at its recent session, passed a bill providing for the ap pointment of a commission to select another site for Sing Sing prison. For the last twenty years the residents of Sing Sing have agitated, off and on, the question of changing the name of that town, and since the passage of the bill mentioned they have renewed the discussion. It seems somewhat strange that the name was not changed long ago. The first t :ing that occurs tn most people when the tow i of Sing Sing is mentioned is the penitentiary. Someone, signing himself "Native Georgian,” and writing to tho New York Tribune, (jpfends the action ot Postmaster Lewis in the Atlanta post nffle > affair iu such manner as to raise the suspicion that he is not a native Georgian, or, if he is, that he is not a true Georgian. THE MORNING NEWS; TUESDAY, AUGUST 20, 1889. Better Roads Needed. If the road bill that was introduced into tho legislature a f days ago becomes a law, aud the law is vigorously enforced, in a very few years every county iu the state will have better roads. The provisions of the bill are mainly those whic i were recom mended by the road congress rec ently held In Atlanta. That congress spoke for the whole btat“. It was called because the peo ple very genera ly recognized that bad roads cost them i great deal more than good ones. Thev had beeo estimating the losses which bad roads cau-ed them, and the covt at which they could ha.e good roads, and thoy reachel (he conclision that tney could mu -h bettor afford good ria Is than bad ones, and, b-sides, they roc vg iizad the fact that they could got sornv satisfaction out of good r ads—something t iey had never been able to get out of bad ones. It may be that the bill needs amen ling in some respects. VVnether it aoe or not will be sh isu probably by the discussio l Widc.i will take place la the committee whioh has chargi of it, and also in ea-h house when it is consi lere 1. The friends of better roads, however, should be careful not to permit it to be sv a needed as tv ren der it of dttle or no practical value. There arc those who object to taxation of any kind, aud tney may oppose tne bill. Tha mails cannot Ive improv.vd without money. Experience has shown that. Nothing shows more clearly the growth of a spirit of progress in Ge vrgia than tho increasing signs of a dotermi iati m to have better roads. Wnorover tuore are gcod roads, thero weli-tillel u 1 nr sluctive farms and thrifty iveople aro always to be found. It is safe to say t at the counties which give the most atte ition to improving tho road- show the greatest progress. It is gratifying that in this c mntrv the county commi-siou -rs are not waiting for a new road law. They recognize tho fact that every and 'liar th >y expend upon the roads will benefit the p ople of the cointy in one way and anot er many ti nes that amount. Better roa ls a e nee ied in a 1 the O' unties, an 1 it begi is to look as if the roads would undergo very great improve ment in tho near futu e. The Field- erry Tragedy. Tho verv general opinion as expressed through the press seems to be that Deputy Marshal N lgle was juv i ed in shooting Judge Terry. The shooting was not done, of cou se, in self-defense, but there seemi to be no doubt that Justice Field would have been killed if tho deputy marshal had not killed Terry. The question whether there was any au thority for detailing a deputy mar-hal to attend Justice Field in his travels around his c rcuit, is being raised. Deputy Mar shal Nagle acted under the orders of his immediate superior, who had been n .titled by the Attorie.' General of the United -States tv sve to it that Justice Field had ample protection. Tue Attorney Gv iorat had boon informed of tho threats which Terry had made against the justi e’ life. Had the Attorney General any right to pro vide for Justice Fields protection when the justice was off the bench? Several prominent California lawyers are qu vted iu answer to this question. They aro unanimous in tho opinion that the deputy marshal was, in f ct, protecting t le court. Thev say that Jus ic9 Fn*d was traveling by the nost direct route from ouo place in his circuit to anotuer, where he was to hold court, and that Terry’s assault on him while pa his way wa. an attack upon tho court to just tho same extent that an attack upva him in a court room during a session of the court would. have been. If this be the correct view, the i Deputy Mar dial Nagle was acting av an officer of the court, and within its jurisdiction. No doubt this view will be urged in Deputy Marshal Nagle’s behalf when he is pi iced on trial. The tragedy has ope ied up anew ques tion, apparently, which will ba widely dis cussed. While it is cle ir that Justic > Field had nothing to do with the killing of Terry, and is not in any way responsible for it, there will be, undoubtedly, a strong eff >rt to make out a c vnspiracy between him and Deputy Marshal Nagie. The justice has many enemies in California, aid they are beginning to make their i illuence felt t -ere. However, there is no probability tnat it can be shown that he was oven remotely re spousible for Terry’s death. The New York Tribune praises Gov. Lowry for his action iu the Sullivan Kilrain matter. It says: "Tnat official deserves the highest praise and approval for the inflexible resolution he has exhibited in the face of strong hostility and irritating and calumnious criticism aud i .sinnation. It has been intimated repeatedly that he was not in earnest, that ho was merely act ing for effect, that he had no desire to en force the law, and so forth. He has shown clearly that he is determined to maintai l the iaw, to be faithful to his obligations, und to vindicate the dignity of his office and the honor of his sta o.” As the Tribune was one of the newspapers to ridicle tho idea that Gov. Lowry would act as he has, its apology is proper. It didn’t apologize uutil it was obliged to, however. Mr. Andrew Price pr vpo os to make a clea fight iu the Third L vuisia -a district, lie won’t heap pßrs nal abuse upon his op ponent. Iu ac 'opting the democratic noini - nation, he said: "However high-minded and honorable a republican candidate may be, his personality ca mot c vneeal from us the appalling dangers of the forces behind him. What the republican constitue icy is all the i itellige ice ot the district well knows. No good can come to the people of this district by eudeavoriog again to bring about that condition of things so happilv disappeaiing with tho overthrow of repub lican supremacy in this state.” This is ex ceedingly well said, and it ought to make votes for Mr. Price. One of the Appleto.is said to a New Y rk Tribune rep vrter the other day, in connec tion with the differences between Mr. Jefferson Davis a id his pub ishers: “The matter hts been submitted to arbitration, and toe referee is a friend of both parties. It is not ik serio is affair, or a sectional affair, or a national affair, and it will soon be settled.” Mr. Appleton was right, but he will hardly suc ceed in convinci ig such newspapers as the Tribune that the affair is not a serious, a sectional and a national one. They think they see in it an opportunity to make party capital. Miss Sarah Harvey, of Rhode Island, is a young lady who is certain to be very popular with young me i. Her aunt re cently left her 3,OOt),OOOon easy co -ditions. She will come into the possession of her for-uue in throe years, and by that time, periiaps, she will have c msouted to share it with some lucky young fellow. CURSENf^mMENT. Ho Was Outnumbered.

The Bad Man of at. ~oa.s Was Knee ked emt in One Round. From the New York Sun. In the old St. Louis museum we nad, among other attractions, a baboon cailel Dick. He was a solid cuunk of a fellow, good-tempered, and a great favorite. He had one peculiarity, though, which we had to cater to. He took short naps twice a day, and if arouse l before his time he was as ugly as sin all the rest of the day. We had him dressed uu as a boy, and when the time came f jr him to take his nap he crept into an old-fashioned cra lle. and the fat woman generally rocked him to sleep. That very thing was Quite a draw', and plenty of peo ple came in solely to see the baboon racked olf to slumber. One day, soon after Dick had closed his eyes, a half drunsen chap entered the place and created considerable disturbance. He went by the name of Awful Pete, and was a hard siugger. I tried to reason with hi n and get him out, but he unfortunately caught sight of tne sleeping baboon and at once demanded tha the animal be aroused and put through his tricks. I sought to explaio, but he wouldn’t have it, saying: “I paid to see the bab, and I’m going to see him or bust the b’ildr”' “But if you wake him un he’ll fight.” “Then I’ll wring his neck!” Before I could s op him he dodged under th • rope aud lifted Dick out of his cradle. The animal woke up. ani took in the situation in about a tenth par;, of a second, and t en he fastened his hands into Pete’s hair, gut a grip with his teeth on the lugger’s n se. and we had a museum, menagerie, and circus com bined for the next five Minutes. Peter roared and wooped, and pranced around in pain and terror, and the i’ab pulled handfuls of hair from his head, and bit and scratched like a wildcat. When we finally got him off that slugger was a sight robe a old. and had to be taken to the o ßpit.il at once Two hours after be ha l had nis wounds dressed I went in to *ee him. and as soou as I spoke to him he be ga > crying and as and: “Was it a baboon which did this?” “Yes.” “Big as a lion?” “On, no. He weighs about twenty-six pounds. Why do you weep?” ’‘Hadn’t I oi*ter weep?” he savagel * demand ed, as the tears cam • afresh. ’Tvc had thir teen fights and Knocked my man out every i ime, a id now to be downed by a weazen laced monkey in one round has broke m * ali up.” An Astonishing Memorial. Trenton Letter t>> Ph ladelphia Times. The story of tne queerest monte to tne dead on record comes from Lambertville, in Hunt r don county. Near tow i lives Mrs. Elisha Pratt, a widow of Deacon Pratt, who was fam ous as a farmer, a genial soul aud an ardent Methodist. He was particularly foud of tickling mi appetite, and was denned consider able or an epicure. His wife was an excellent cook, and her dinners were rare exhibitions o: culinary skill for a rural neighborhood. The le icon e ijoyed nothing better than a house full of clergymen around a table Eden with tempting victuals. And Mr*. Pratt, who doted on the deacon, was in aereleaieut when prepar ing such a feast and helping entertain such goodly guests. About a year ago a number of ministers were on their way to tie camp meeting at Orean Grove. T .ere were jist a dozen of them. Decon Pratt ha 1 them all stop over night at his farm-house, and gave them a rousing dinner early in the evening. If, was a dinner modeled on tne New England plan, as Pratt came from Vermont and so did his wife. There was every thi ig conceivable to eat, and plenty of reason ably hard ci ler to drink. The deacon was in the best of humor, and partook ev n more ne irtily than usual of tue food. His wife, ac customed as she was to her husband’s large ap petite, was astonished at the amount he con sumed, and ma le s menial inventory of the various articles aud the amount of eacn that he swallowed. The n xi afternoon Deacon Elisha Pratt died oi cholera mo bus. The physician said tue dinner knocked aim out. Tne funeral was the largest the neighborhood ever knew. Ei rht of Die twelve clergymen present at the dinner acred as pah-bearers, and tue other four offi ciate l at the church and by the grave. Tne widow was incousolahle for awhile and talked about the tribute she proposed having prepare lir memory of her husband. Every body supposed she was going to erect a ha id some nion iment, nd the makers of tonibston s smt in bids. But they we e ali mistaken .Mrs. Pratt had iu view t e most remarkable and yet mi rgestive of memorials, bhe iiai the work done quietly in Phi adelphia, and it require some weeks to finish it. When it arrived at the farm and some of the widow's intimate friends were invited to call and s-e the tribute, they were at first astounded and then shocked, and finally th y felt a dispo sition to laugh t ar was controlled with diffi culty. On the table in tho parlor stoo . a lar z gla>s case. On t p of the case was a small arch, made of solid silver. Surmounting the arcu was the figu e in silver of an angel b.owing a trumpet. Inside the area and suspended from its center was a tablet of white marble, on vhich were inscribed tne following words in deop, black letters: ‘ This Is What the Deacon Died Of.” But it was underneat a the glass case that the great surprise awaited the spectators. Tuere on plates, arranged in the order they were served, were exact duplicates iu wax, and some ii glace shape, of tne various articles of food the aeacou had eaten at t;.e dinner the evening before he died, aud also exact duplicates in quantity and size of the amounts he had con sumed. Tuere was a large plate of soup, a nig slice of meat, heapiug tdde dishes full of vege tables, three cucumbers, huge slices of pie, a quarter of a waterin In, two plates of ice cream, a small cup of coffee anti three goblets of cider. Tney were p.-rie£t pieces of wor,; i , wax, as well as perfect representations of wh t *ad passed down tie deacon’s throat at tne dinner. The whole thing had cost several hun dr and dollars. The ne.gubors naturally ridiculed the tribute at first, but tney all respected the widow, aud when they found that she was really in earnest m her grief and in her regard for the wax me morial, they restrained their mirth and said litt e about it outside. Many of them i. o ight that tne sudden loss had unhinged Mrs. Pratt’s mind somewhat. That is why it is only after the lapse of a year that the report of the aston ishing tribute has leaked out. Twilignt. The day god seeks his couch of clouds, And jal'Klless gently .alls; The Katy did from out tne grass His twilight signal calls. A sigh seems stealing through the atr From nature’s qu > nly breast, And every twig an t forest leaf, To tue spirit speaks of rest. The night wind tells it on the hill, And whispers in the glen; 'Tis choed in the bullfrog’s note From out the distant fen. In such an hour the soul will fly In memory o’er the past, And gaze upon Its ruined hoped And joys tnat could not last. Its broken vows, and words once said We fain would now- unsay. Resolves, that like the prophet’s vine, Have perished in a day. And deeds we vainly weep to think Can never be undone; O’er these the soul wid brood in gloom At setting of the sun. Can memory find a single day In all t he vanished yeara Whose thoughts, words, deeds, the heart ap proves, In which no guile appears? But since such thoughts make sick the soul, We may in fancy view The future, decsod with brightest fiow'rs, And robed in rosy hue. The sun that set in clouds to-night slav bring a cloudless morn, And in the cotni g years "i life A brighter life may dawn. R. E Jones. Getting Evan With the courts. From trie Heir York World. Policeman Billy Mace was called to tes'ify in the case of a man he had arrested for stealing a pair of scales. "You say. Mr. Officer,” said the court, “that you a rested the prisoner in the act of steading a pair of scales, and ne got away?” "Yes, your honor, that’s it.” said Billy. “You recaptured him immediately, I sup pose?” r ‘I didn't have to, your honor; 1 had him.” "But you sav he got away.” "That's it. your houor.” "Then you must have recaptured him, as 3-011 have him here in court.” "No, your houor; I 1 ad him all the time." "Th n who did recapture him, sir; w.ll you answer me that?" “No one recaptured him, your honor. Noone had to. Mo one has to recapture any duffer after I git my hooks onto his collar. I'd ime to see the bloKe as cou and git loosq” "But you say he did get loose!” thundered the court. “No, your honor. I said he got a weigh—See? a weigh; a pair of scales. You ge r on?

Boulanger, said a r presentative French citi zen of New York the other day, “has so far petered out as a hero in Pans that I should noi be surprised to see him in New York at an earl} late ou a visit which he would probably con trive to keep him away from his lielle France for an indefinite period. Boulanger would probably spend most of his time in Canada. He is a life member of the St. Jean Baptiste So ciety and is very fond of the blue noses. Many old Frenchmen, espe ially the survivors of the met n rrgiine, regard Canad t even now as a second France for them, and expoct yet the possibility that they may have to emigrate Q .ebec. which is a gre t Cat o’iz Fr n: 1 city. ” Just now, when so much is sai: about Canad *s a probable American province, it se*m> curious to hear it spoken of as a po;>sibit *‘i ranee.” “The duel between‘Pat’Calhoun and J.

As weapons in the naads of men who wanted to hit iheir adversaries they must l>e vastly in ferior t > the old hair-trigger dueling pistols. The effort to cock would necessarily contract he muscles of ihe hand and to some extent de flect the aim. Perhaps Calhoun an l William son didn't intend to sh ot each other anvhow; It so ms strange that neither of them was hun at twelve paces if they were so terribly in earnest. Twelve pace* can't be more than 3C feet, and is quite likely to be 28 or 30 feet.

They include the victories of Mariborou ;h, the sea fights of Admiral Benbow, all the various changes connected with the par iamentarv proceedings of the day, and toe conclusions of the treaties between England and France and Spain. The Queen of Hearts is a very well drawn picture of Queen Anne her self, and the King of Hearts r presents Prince (ieorge of Denmark, her husband. The Queen of Diamonds is Anne Sophia. Queen of Den mark; the Queen of Clubs is the Princess R >yal of Prussia, and the Queen of Sp elt's is the i ’in tic css Anne of Russia. The knaves are repre sented by leadin ; politicians of tho day.

Very few people in Wash ington knew when Miss Stella Cox left this city some time ago. just where she was going and why. The news has at last reached there from the Cattaraugus Indian reservation that on the evening of July 24 Msis Cox. in compant- with Nathaniel Patterson, a full-blooded Seneca Indian, appeared befor • Justice Parker in his oifice at Versailles, N.

The advent of Mrs. Blaine, Jr., has been expected for some time, and her debut will not be one of the surprises. She has received much preliminary commendation, so the critics will expect something letter tuan usual. The debut of Mrs. Leslie Carter causes a ripple upon the surface, be ause somewhat un xpect and under the circumstances. If she has genius the Chicago ca use cel bre will be forgotten. The announcement that Nina Van Zandt, the nihilistic w idow of Spies, the bang and socialist, is also to appear in New York is quietly received aud win hardly cause much ex ejtement. She has never moved in society circles and society will not worry about her due last surprise is that "Mrs. Laura Hollis” w ill make a first appearance, aud ic is explained that she is fr -m the Pacific coast: that her name it hter of tho notorious Laura I>.

Then he went lo Denver and finally landed in Portland Ore., about ten years ago as the gen: eral agent of a sewing machine company Here he met J. J.

Cannon was afflicted with consumption, for which he went to Sookane, aud induced Browne, who was a school teacher.io follow shortlv afterward Mr Cannon had about $2,000 and Browne had next to nothing. The gentlemen went into partner she. after the prevailing custom of tnis country. Men engage in almost any variety of an undertaking out there, with or without capital. James N. Glover now president of the First National Bank of Spo kane, owned the entire site of t ie city of Spo kane, and the firm of Browne & Cannon bought two-thirds of it for $3,0 Hi. Then they took up homesteads adjoining the city. Is it any won der t ley are ricn to-day? Browne, the Portl ind school tune ier. has about $1,500,(J0J, while Can non, the sewing machine man. is reputed to be worth at least *8,000.000. Browne was content I to sit quietly by and allow his real estate to make him rich, but the thrifty Cannon built railroads and absorbed a goodly share of the water power here. Tnese gentlemen to-dav possess valuable lots without number in Spo kane, and have all the money they will ever need.
