I've been agitating the subject of sys-
tematic changes in street names, but I'm
anxious 10 see the signs with the names
put on the corners and on the lamps, so
that at night the stranger can find BIS way

1t is sometimes said that in Western
cities like Seattle people lack the exquisite
breeding common among better Classes in
long-settled communities. This lack, so
the critics declare. is nowhere more csearIy
shown than in ignorance of the exact bear
ing TO be maintained toward social infer
iors. Bat little incident at the Rainier
hotel last evening shows that some of
Ssattie's best citizens are quite certain in
their minds of the treatment to be accorded
to those whom they regard as interiors. A
reporter was standing at the hotel desk
when man and vouan-nos guests at the
hotel but residents OF the city-came down
the stairway and passed near. the man
pointed TO the reporter. and with evident
purpose, remarked in q tone loud enough
for the young fellow TO overnear, Take
care what you say; for there is a repor-
ter!s'
The woman looked from the head to
the foot OF this creature so abandoned to
all sense OF decency as TO WORK on q news
paper. Then. having made the inspection
IS ii he were some curious monster, she
answered in tone which he overheard
distinctly: "AhI Realiy7 Well, it is
lucky for our regulations that We are going
out at once!p
That sort OF thing could not have been
more perfectly done anywhere in the
world.
In explanation of the Oregon Improve
ment Conpany's troubles, T. II. TyndaIe,
president OF the Seattle General Electric
Company, said TO Posr-I3rELLTGEycER
reporter yesterday: az WAS the secretary
OF the company at the time of its organiza-
ton and know that its ffcuIties date
back 70 that time. The capital sTcck was
S5,oO0OO0. all paid in cash. and il also had
5000, 600 of bonds which were issued TO the
stockholders, really without payment. Those
bonds have always been loan 10 the COM
pany. for il had to earn interest on them as
we'll as profit on the capital stock. Never
theless IL has made large profits on some
properties For three or four years the
Pacific Coast Steamship Company earned
profit Of Is per cent on its capital stock"
Captain William geaGon, manager of the
Port BiskeIey IilI Company, goes TO New
York today. accompanied by Frank Clay
ton, OF this city. In order to consult DR..
Knapp. the famous German ocuIist. about
the recovery OF his sight. which has been
lost for fourteen years DR.. Knapp has
recently performed some wonderful cures.
notably in the case OF A. P. HosaIing, OF
San Francisco, who had been bind for
three years. and OF L. Gottig. president of
the German Savings and Loan Society, of
San Francisco. who had been bind for one
year. Captain Renton lost his sight
through the formation OF soft cataract
over the eyes.
The propositions 10 cultivate sugar beet
here. and perhaps make sugar from them,
Is wholly distinct from the plan IN which l
am interested OF starting sugar refinery"
said Mr.. Fred Ward yesterday. I'VE pro-
pose 20 ger our raw material from Honolu-
IN and refine il, just a. Is done in san Fran
cisco That such an industry would De
profitable has already been proven beyond
peradventure- The growth OF sugar beets
here - a. YET an experiment; but if il proves
successful We can, of course, add TO our
business Of refining the raw Hawaiian pro-
duct that OF making sugar from beets."
Nh George u. Walker. the clerk OF the
Rainier hogei. said last evening: Travel
IS heavy enough 10 MAKE the hotel busi-
ness hrst-rate just now. In fact, more
people seem 10 oe going and coming than
there were lev weeks ago. OF course the
tourists who go aoout merely for pleasure
are not nearly so common as IN the sum
Iner, but a large number OF substantial
business men are wishing the CITY,"
