Spokane Falls is a thrifty little vil- age of about two thousand inhabit- ants, situated inthe eastern part of the Territory, about twenty-five miles from the Idaho line and about the center of Washington Territory trom north to south. Of this thrifty little town, much can be said 1n its favor. It is located on the Spokane river and nght near the talls. I think it one of the most beautiful streams my eyes ever beheld. Right here I would like to give a briet description ofthe river and its natural adyan- tages. Besides its natural facilities tor furnishing unlimited water pow- er for machinery, it 1s one of the grandest curiosities that I saw on the trip. A short distance above the city, the river is split several | branches forming numerous islands | varying in size from one-fourth to} one or two acres. The water is cold | and remarkably clear.

SCHENCK’S MANDRAKE PILLS Has been so frequently and satisfactority proven that it seems almost superfluous to say anything more in their favor. The immense and constantly {ncreasing demand for them, both in this and foreign countries, is the best evidence of their value. Their sale to-day in the United States is far greater than ny other cathartic medicine. This demand is ‘Bot spasmodic, it is regular and steady. It is not of to-day or yesterday, it is an increase that hasbeen ‘growing forthe last thirty-fveyears. What are the reasons for this great and growing demand?
