attle-The Stock.
The proposal to locate Captain R. W. De
Lions dry dock at Seattle ID being favorably re-
ccived by the business men of the city. Mr..
Joseph +. Mcknight, in speaking Of the matter
yesterday, said: "The situation in . nutshell 10
this. There Is no way in which Seattle can spend
$4,000 and get 20 large return in the way of
an industry giving steady employment to many
mechanics, and in bringing trade to tho city.
Besides that, the $4,000 is q good investment,
and return OF IL per cent. is guaranteed for
three years. As guaranty we have property
worth 81, 900 Of which the deeds win b put in
escrow"
Mr. Maurice McMicken said: II have not
made IN accurate examination OF the PROPOSE
ton, but 1t seems to meNthat Captain De Lions
offer Is good one. With that dry dock here
and the big government dock across the Sound,
all the ship-building and repairing will centre
about here. Some people have been asking II
they will get any dividends on the $4,000 in
vested In dry dock stock after the three years
have expired. Well, anyone who knows about
the management Of corporation knows that, IL
any dividends at all are declared, all the stock
fares alike-at any rate all the paid up stock
