New York Banker Predicts Large Move
ment to Northwest.
Mr.. Albert Kelley, the New Nork banker,
and Mr.. Norman r. Kelley, his son, who
are largely interested in Sedro property,
arrived in the city yesterday and are at
the Rainier hotel. Mr.. Albert Kelley said
last evening: 81 am looking for very
large movement from the East to the
Sound country this season. This North
west is now much better known than ever
before, and is becoming sort of Mecca for
the man who wishes to change his condi-
ton for the better. Then, too, the num-
Der of tourists coming here is larger each
year, and many who come simply to see
the country make investments here, or
perhaps actually decide to settle here.
Another thing to be considered is that
the money market in New York city and
other Eastern financial centers has consid-
erably improved. There is plenty of money
to be had at comparatively low rates, and
this financial ease is good sign.
II attribute the change from the strin-
gency Of few months ago in part to the
adjournment of congress, and the conse-
quent assurance that for time at least
there will be no tinkering with the coun-
try's circulating medium. Free silver COIN
age would mean imitation, rash speculation
and disaster following.
'ln my own state there is nothing in
politics that you do not get by telegraph,
although Governor Hills course in keep

WASHINGTON WHEAT MARKET:

Large Immigration Expected
From the East.

Mr.. ]. w. Balch, of Detroit. 4 wheat
broker who does business in New York and
- member of the Produce Exchange of
mat "a clfy, arrived in Seattle last evening on
ms way home from Southern California.
Considerable WalIa Walla wheat is now
reaching the East through Duluth. -
SAID ne. This wheat first began to
come some ave years ago. but then 1t was
IN poor condition and of inferior quality
by the time 1t reached us. But the quality,
condition and quantity are all improving,
ana now the Walla Walia wheat has be-
come regular staple for shipment to
Europe. Indeed, the Walla Waiia country
and California are the great sources of
supply for white wheat.
You see in England. the breadmaking
Is Is not done in the family, but by the baker.
Inc Engtishman does not buy his -four by
tne barrel, but gets the bread from the
baker. The latter uses several kinds Of
hour. He takes three barrels of Duluth
wheat-hard spring wheat containing q
good deal of gluten. In this strong Hour
ne can mix good deal of water,
and he prefers to sell water where he can.
Then he adds barrel of ordinary spring
wheat Hour and one of white -four, to give
good color, made from Walla Walla wheat.
The time was when Michigan used to
supply this soft wheat. used to make the
bread white, but white wheat is running
out in Michigan and also in New York So
the world is looking to the Walla Walla
fields. The local millers are taking all
the Michigan wheat, and SO expect that
the export trade in your Walla Walla
grain will grow very steadily.
Michigan's supply of lumber is slowly
being exhausted, but good deal of timber
Is yet left, and even when it Is all gone
Michigan has great agricultural resources
in the southern part and large supplies of
iron and copper. So we think Michigan
can hold her own. A good many of the
big lumber companies are looking to the
Northwest timber lands"

THE GOOD OLD TIMES.
Scraps Of "Reminiscences by Two Of the
Pioneers.

Mr.. Luke McRedmond, of Redmond,
and Mr.. and Mrs. Alexander Spithill, of
Marysvllle. are at the Snoqualmie hotel.
Both Mr.. Redmond and Mr.. Spithill are
pioneers, having come to Seattle in
1855. Mr.. Spithill is a California
Forty-niner. He said last evening: Il can
still remember the old blockhouses stand
ing when came to Seattle. One was near
what is now the corner of Front and
Cherry streets, and the other was on the
site of the present Schwabacker building,
Just south Of Yesler avenue. Henry Yes
Ter used it for cook-house in those DAYS
Seattle was then nothing but a little
settlement, with Yesler's sawmill and a
few stores where the loggers would come
to spend their cash. / must say that they
drank a good deal of whisky. but the stuff
was cheap, for no licenses were required
People talk of the hardships of those
times" added Mr.. McRedmond, '.but We
enjoyed life as much then as now, and
never thought of hardships. Our log
cabins were very comfortable. remember
yet the big fireplace, in which you could
burn good-sized log. Such a fire as that
would make is q luxury"

1T is one of the melancholy incidents
of modern progress that all the animals
which We call monstrous are to be exter-
minated. We have got rid of many
varieties of them already. Nearly ali the
hippopotami, which once existed in large
numbers, have been killed of, and II is
now hard TO get good specimen of the
beast. As civilization advances in Africa
and Asia the crocodilss are DESTROYED.
