Mr.. Thomas ". Prosch overheard
some considerable eramhSinx the
other day by some people vho wanted
10 start an industry In Seattle and
wanted SOME one 10 donate real estate
and other like valazs,Ges 20 give said
industry boo~t- He waxed very in
diensns and expressed himself in this
way: why don Z they 90 to Chicago
or View York OF San Francisco, and
ask them give sit< for some MANN
featuring entcgpFise. There would be
~ much reason in that ~ TO expect
the people Of Seattle with valuable
property 10 give them = start I be-
hsve in encouraging new industries
tut do not believe IN yielding % such
fellows who seem 10 vsnt the earth.
Mr. ]. ~ Aivorsi. the well known
Whsle River farmer. says those farm
ers from the Stuck River valley didn't
make much by coming over into King
county in the dead of night and at
tempting 10 turn mere Of the water
down White river. He said: with
all their work and schemes stuck river
takes more than half Of the water now
and We White River farmers are In
pretty good shape to protect our
homes in case u high water. We are
pretty old settlers, but there amt 80
very much moss on our backs for all
that"
The Mr.. Smith who recently visited
Seattle in company with John L. How
ard and Joseph n Fox, manager and
secretary respectively for the Oregon
called doctor Smith, Mr. smith.
and "Brother-of- Elijah" smith. His
fun name l. Prosper w. smith. and
besides being brother of the presi-
dent Of the Oregon Improvement CON-
pany. he i himself stakeholder and
treasurer In both the Oregon Improve
snent and the Oregon Transconfinen-
tai.
~. J. McElroy. assistant secretary
Of the Puget Sound Loggers assoeia-
ton, says he has conceived an idea
that he thinks will commend itself TO
the logging interest Of this vicinity.
The idea in nut shell is the CONVEX
zion OF Lake Union into an immense
fresh water It ,rehouse for logs. From
the present outlook the supply Of logs
this coming fall will be far in excess Of
thu demand. and il only takes a little
while for logs in salt water 10 become
honey -combed by the teTedo There
are no open fields available 10 stack"
the logs and when the Loggers associ-
alton begins (, retrench on the supply
they win find the fresh water store
house idea worthy OF attention.
did you notice the reference to the
Seattle, Lake 81 or. q Eastern rail-
ways reaching eastward, in the Posi-
IsrELLfGEscER tine other day1"
The question was directed by well
known railroad man. who continued
We'll. sir. that will start buzz among
some OF the Northern Pacific officials,
who are watching with keen interest
every movement of the new Seattle en-
terprise- II IL not generally known,
but none the less fact, that Mr.. T.
r. oakes, viee-president of the North
ern Pacific. has laid wager with Mr..
James AeNaught, general solicitor of
the same company, that Jim Hill and
the Manitoba people are hacking the
Seattle, Lake shore and Eastern rail-
way. Mr.. Mcknight says he Is pos
tive that Jim Hill has nothing what
ever 10 do with the new road.
