Hon. ]. J. O'Connor, OF Eimira, n Y, who has
been spending some time at the Rainier hotel,
and has made many acquaintance in Seattle,
is one of the most successful business men in
what IL known as the southern tier in New
York; tina; is, the line of counties bordering on
Pennsylvania He not only has high reptita-
ton as a business man, but whenever he has
gone into politics he has been very successful
Throughout the state he Is recognized as one of
the ablest men in the Democratic party. While
not orator in the common scceptsfion
of that term, he il clear and unusually
foreible speaker In the Eighties he won IN en-
viabie name In the lover branch OF the state
legislature. for although he was an infiexible
party man. he nevertheless commanded the re-
speet and admiration OF his political opponents
on account sf his sound conservatism and un-
fiinching integrity. Coming from Elniira, the
home OF Governor David Bennett Hin. be has
always stood very close TO that leader OF the
New York Democrats. In the saratoga conyen-
ton OF 1885, when Governor Hill, elected as
lieutenansgpvcrnor, was filling out the uacx-
Mr.. OConnor made the speech nominating Hill
for his first regular term governor.
Mr.. OCopncr. who has visited Seattle several
times, said yesterday in answer to questions as
10 his present impression of the Northwest:
"Ay increasing knowledge of the country
strengthens my faith in its future. This region
is yet comparatively uDdeveloped. and you
need men aud capital 90 develop ii; but these
VIII come in time There is great chance for
the planting OF manufactures here, which win
cultural land must also be put under cuitsya-
ton. Capital invested in your farming regions,
in such districts that about Yakima. where
money Is wanted for irrigation works. win not
only be benefit there but will help Seattle, for
the whole country is tributary to q seaport city
like this"

said yesterday,
.The lumber companies are not buying land
now, bat they put all their money into buying

the land goes back 70 the original owner. The
trouble il that the lumber companies have not
money at present to buy the land. They need
all the capital they can get together TO handle
the stumpage alone.
II have gone through the Sound country
pretty thoroughly. and can say without fear of
contradiction that the best timber in this coGn-
try stands on the land, which after tie tinher Is

Ballard has something, and in fact many
things. Her location alone is sufficient induce
ment 70 people to locate there. The gentle slope,
almost level. cannot be equallcd anywhere on
the Sound. Her water supply is abundant and
OF the very best quality. This will be improved
to such an extent in the near future that the
people OF every city on the Coast will have Just
cause to envy the residents OF Ballard As 1t is

and have a. many, il not more comforts than

place on the Sound for komc-seekers. They are
all being taken advantage OF by the working
people, who are buying themselves homes, and
settling there.
The Chamber Of Commerce OF Ballard is work

bers are familiar with the advantages the city
Possesses and are using every endeavor To fur

nation. They expect to compile number OF
useful facts for distribution IN the East, aud at
the same time keep up the work they have I'M

the proposed ship canal win be seen by the
committees from the chamber and every effort
made to enlghten them upon the national ben
