THE PASSING THRONG
Talk Of Men in the Hotel Cor
ridors and Streets.
Mr.. ). +. M'NAucHTs RETURN.
Ne Comes Frsm New York and Says
Eastern Capitalists Have Faith
In Washingtsn.

Mr.. J. F. Mcknight returned from his
trip to New York yesterday afternoon,
coming from Tacoma in his new steam
iaunch. II attended meeting of the
Northern Pacific directory" said he last
night, Eat which rather a sweeping resoIu-
ton was passed to complete all the work
now begun by the company. This means
that the work on the Big Bend
extension will so on, and the
Trays Harbor extension will be finished.
The directors also voted to build the FIVE
miles from the Seattle, Lake Shore q East
ern railroad into the Blue Canyon coal
mine, near Lake Whatcom. so, you zee,
the Northern Pacific viii do quite . little
building during the coming season.
In New York found the money mar
ket rather uneasy, and there seems to be a
general feeling Of distrust The city is
fuii OF men from the Middle states and the
West who have schemes for which they
need money. They want to sell bonds
and all sorts of securities, but the capital
lists are cautious. There is general be-
lief, however. that the large amount of
railroad building to be done in this state
during the next few years will keep it up,
and prevent it slumping as some states
have done.
There is also among Eastern capitalists
faith that the mineral resources of this
state viii develop surprisingly within .
short time and prove to be an enormous
source of wealth."

A Good Flour.

A kernel of wheat is composed of germ
about the size Of pin head, bitter TO the
taste. waxy in consistency and discolored
in appearance. Immediately surrounding
this heart is a coating provided by nature
for its protection, the atoms OF which are
probably the finest known to science.
Around this small wad or form are several
thin shells. The old process of manufae-
turing -four ground the outer shells, body
and germ, all into a heated mass, leaving
fhe holters to separate all that was posi-
bic. hut producing -four more or less

FAIR TREATMENT.


The Salvation Army Assailed the Sim
ners OF Ballard.
The citizens Of Ballard were treated to
some of the songs and prayers Of the SAL
walton army yesterday afternoon by num-
Der of the members of the army. During
the morning the recruits wandered all over
the city and laid siege to the bosoms and
pockets of those who listened to their APP
peals to attend the army meetings or buy
a War Cry. They were treated with uni
form fairness wherever they went, and
conducted their open-air meeting in the
presence of large crowd, who conducted
themselves with the utmost decorum.
Fair play to every one is one of the pro-
nounced characteristics of the people of
Ballard. This is carried into business rela-
tons as well as in social intercourse, and
has done much to help build the city.
People are always willing to remain where
they are sure of fair treatment and not in
constant hot water on account Of the say
ings and doings of some one else.
With everything pointing to q prosper
Gus future, many people are moving to
Ballard with the intention of becoming
permanent residents. Business houses are
increasing in number and character to
such an extent that the city is becoming
quite metropolitan in appearance. Two
years hence many great changes will have
occurred, and Ballard will be classed az
frst-class city.

Fish Curing Plant Getting Ready for
Operations at Ballard.
Within few days the first schooner Of
the Ballard Fish Curing Company viii
leave for the North and return about May
with the first installment Of fish. By
the time the schooner arrives from Alaska
the curing works will have been prepared
for the reception Of the cargo. It is the
intention of the company to smoke, salt
and cure fish for shipment all over the
country. This will be quite an addition
to the manufacturing industries of Ballard
and one which viii assist materially in
spreading her fame throughout the world.
The fsh-curing plant will furnish en-
ploymcnt to number OF men in addition
to the crews on the schooners. There
will be three vessels run regularly to and
from Alaska during the fishing season.
The company expect to build up as large q
business in this line as is carried on in any
part of the country. As soon as the plant
is well under way canning establishment
will be added to the curing department
and the products Of the local waters pre-
pared for family use.
There is q proposition now being con-
sidered by number of young men in Bal
lard to start . clam canning factory.
CLAIMS abound in large quantities along
Salmon bay and are said to be Of better
flavor than those dug by siwashes on Balm
bridge island or the Duwamish fats. The
matter is being seriously considered and is
likely to 60 through.
New industries are cropping out in Bal
lard every little while. No city on Puget
sound has the same number of manufac-
tories, in accordance with its size, as Bal
lard. 1t is also noted fact that once .
project Is started 1t is sure to go through
and become a thoroughly organized BUSH
ness plant. This is true in a number Of
instances and especially so in the shingle
manufacturing. The fish-curing plant is
q new venture, but is backed by men with
practical experience and plenty of energy
and sufficient capital to handle the BUSH
ness.
Ship-building, while an old and estab-
ished business in Ballard, is increasing at
. remarkable rate. The steamer w. X.
Mervin is now on the ways at Hollands
yard undergoing repairs. She will be off
Monday or Tuesday and take her regular
run again.

PRAISE FOR PROMPT RETURNS.


a Burned Out Firm Suffered No Delay
Waiting for Insurance Money.
It is difficult to say who is best pleased
by the prompt settlement of the loss sus-
tanned in the recent fire at West and
University streets, the policy-holders,
Lilly, Bogardus & Co., or the agents for
the insurance companies, w. L. Gazzam &
Co. The fire took place March q, and
three days later the German-American
Company, Of New York, paid their share
of the loss. On Wednesday the following
letter was received from the San Francisco
general agency of the Orient Company. of
Hartford, Con-:
March 80, 1891.
Messrs. w. l. Canaan & Co., Agents, Seattle,
Wash.--Gentlemen: Proofs of loss under policy
No. 50,7s9. issued to Lilly, Bogsrdus e. Co., came
to hand today, and were found correct. Inclosed
herewith is check on the Bank of California for
$979.42 which please present, and with it my
sympathy. By the adjusters report the assured

With this letter also came the amount
due under the policy held in the Liberty
Insurance Company, of New York.
Messrs. Lilly, Bogardus & Co. praise Mr..
Gazzam for his efforts in their behalf, and
the quick payment made. They have all
repairs made at the warehouse, and are
buster than ever now, if such thing were
possible. Their business suffered only q
few days from the damage done by the fire.

AT THE BORDER.
"Reminiscences of Semiahmoo In the
Pioneer Times.

"Reminiscences OF semiahmoo In the
Pioneer Times.
Mr.. ]. Elwood, of Blaine, is stopping at
the Occidental. Some nineteen years ago,
Mr.. Elwood, then boy of Is, settled at
Semiahmoo, and ever since then he
stayed by it." as he expressed it..
at present he is the owner of that
part of Blaine lying just across the border.
when | first came" said Mr.. Elwood
last evening, "Samiahmoo was quite q
trading point. Mail was brought in twice
week by steamer, and the day the boat
arrived was q sort of holiday. Then every
rancher came in in his boat. No roads
existed i'll those days. and the settlers had
boats Just as they now have wagons They
lived mostly near the Sound and the three
streams which run in near that point. So
to use boat was the natural thing.
Sat that time the customs officers were
not so strict as they are now. but there
was comparatively little smuggling. The
Canadian officers were particularly lax, for
the Canadians about there could get no
supplies nearer than New Westminster,
fifteen miles away, unless they came to
Semiahmoo. as trip that distance worked
hardship. Nothing was said if they made
Semiahmoo their trading point. But now
. Canadian must pay duty even if he
comes to get nothing more than sack of
-four.
"Any number of Cinnamon used to come
through there, and nothing was said to
them. They would go up to the Fraser
river for the salmon packing and then
come down across the country to What
com, where they would take the boat for
Seattle and then 60 to Portland. China
men just landed could, of course, get into
the country with these fellows.
"But the American officers are now very
vigilant and few Cinnamon come down
that way. Then, too, the people of What
com county are strongly anti-Chinese, and
the tendency is to run the Cinnamon out.
The only Celestial in the county works for
me. He has been in this country for
thirty-iye years. has cut of his pig-tail
and is thoroughly Americanized. You
would be surprised to learn that he is very
