The Dalles of Spokane Falls land plans and a Dismal Swamp note
A lengthy discussion details Hon. Alex Abernethy acting under Gen. J. W. Sprague to lay out 290 acres near the city into lots. It notes railroad land values, avenue needs along the section line, and a land donation dispute with property owners. It also covers health claims about the Dismal Swamp, Northwest river survey plans, a missing man skeleton found near The Dalles, and local notices on upcoming elections and axle oil tips.
