Capt. Matt Atkinson Talks About
Bingham's school.
EDITOR THE CITnEN:-l was little
surprised on yesterday afternoon to no
ticc an article in your paper copied from
the Charlotte Chronicle relative to the
bingham School soon to be established
at this place. and that the same was
permitted to go without comment or ex-
planation.
You will pardon me for explaining that
Asheville does not propose to give Maj.
Bingham site or anything on which to
build his school without Just and proper
compensation for al! he receives in this
regard The proposition from Maj.
Bingham is that he will pay in the educa-
ton of our boys who are seeking a
higher or classical education at his
usual rates, dollar for dollar, for every
thing paid on the bonds we propose to
issue to aid in his building until he is
able to assume and pay off the bonds
himself. So that we, in tact and in truth,
give nothing to Major Bingham for the
many and great advantages we will re-
ceive because of the location of his most
excellent school in our midst.
The proposition means. for these ad-
vantages, land wish had time and
space to enumerate them to the people OF
this city, we simply loan the city credit,
pay the interest on the bonds and re-
ceive payment from Maj. Bingham in a
direction and kind more valuable than in
dollars to carry out this most laudable
and praiseworthy scheme. Charlotte and
Durham may not feel themselves able to
do such thing, but am glad that there
is one live, wide-awake place in the state
that can-Asheville. the great metropo'
lis of the Southern mountains.

Herman A. Bauer, president of the Crescent
Manufacturing Company, dealers IN teas, spices
and favo-ing extracts, said: 81 have llveu IN
Alaska, and at the present time own the largest
store in Sitka. From my observation IL seems
as if Seattle did only about one-tenth the

grew fat on the other nine-tenths, which oy
perseverance could be brought TO Seattle Every

consisting of groceries, clothing, boots ana
shoes, blankets, hardware and tin. The actual
facts of the case are that Seattle has not made
any effort to secure the trade until within year
or so, and now the merchants are beginning TO
realize the value Of the Alaska trade ana reacn
after it. At the present time Portland has much
the advantage in e few lines, but in all other
lines Seattle today is able to cope successfully
with her rivals, Portland and san francisco
We are making a strong bid for the Alaska
trade and have more than doubled our sales IN
the last six months"
Mr. j. H. Calvert of the firm Of j. H. Calvert &
Co., dealers in books, stationery and printing at
76 Front street, said that it was only within the
last six months that they had done any business
with Alaska OF late several orders have been
shipped through Fisher d Mcdonald. 1.-THE
orders have not been large" said he, ''but it is
on cash basis. Our line of goods would not
enable US TO send a representative, but num-
Der of orders that came in by mail indicate that
Seattle houses are becoming known 10 mer-
chants there and will receive q large portion OF
the Alaska trade Next summer we expect to do
much more business because the merchants In
Seattle want the Alaska trade and are in a posi-
ton to bid for it. We can buy as cheap, and de-
liver cheaper than San Francisco dealers. On
this score alone Seattle has a good basis for a
strong endeavor to secure the bulk of commerce
northward."
Mr.. John Haley, of the Haley-Glenn Grocery
Company, said: 'Our trade with Alaska at the
present time amounts from 500 TO 500 per month
for the government boats alone Previous TO
last May Seattle was practically unknown as a
shipping point TO the government cutters and
survey boats. By chance one of the boats came
into port and looked over the ground They
saw that Seattle had as good groceries as Port
land, and consequently gave US their trade.
Since then our orders have increased, and at the
present time We are shipping orders by every
steamer 10 the merchants OF Sitka and Juneau.
Seattle is fast becoming recognized as the prin-
cipal shipping point on the Sound, and stands
in position to make a good bid for trade
which is sure to increase

TRADE WITH ALASKA.
Seattle Becoming the Entire
pot for the Territory.
CUSTOMERS WHO PAY CASH.
Our Position Such as to Make Us the
Natural Mart-How Merchants Are
Reaching Out.

Seattle has taken q step forward during the
past summer and is now securing large part OF
the trade OF Alaska. A certain amount OF the
business OF that territory has always been done
through merchants here, but the larger part has
hitherto gone TO San Francisco and Portland.
The fact is that before the fire few Seattle
houses had sufficient stock or capital to do
much outside of limited local business. The
advantages Seattle possesses trading point
with Alaska are very evident Seattle is nearer
that territory than any other large city, and
communication is quicker from here. Orders
for goods can be filled with less delay from here
than from Portland or San Francisco.
At the same time freight rates are
lower. The Pacific Coast Steamship Company
charges $40 a ton on goods from here, $l1 from
Portland and sl3 from san Francisco. These
differences alone are enough to draw the trade
here.
The Alaska business of the Seattle wholesale
houses has grown slowly but steadily since the
fire. During this last summer, however, four
firms took steps towards securing larger share
of the trade, and sent canvassers out. George
W. Fischer went for Fisher & Mcdonald, J. L.
Simpson for the Seattle Hardware Company, and
the MaeDougal Il Southwick Company and
the Crescent Manufacturing Company
each had representatives. They surprised
Alaska merchants, many of whom had no idea
that the stocks carried in Seattle were COM
plete as those of Portland or San Francisco. The
result is that many orders wers taken, and a
large quantity of goods has since been shipped
The City of Mexico on Friday took the largest
cargo of freight she has ever carried from here,

IDAHO's SUPREME COURT.
All Three Members Visiting the Coast
Two In Seattle,


Judge and Mrs. J. w. Huston, Judge J. T.
Morgan and Mr.. Sol Hasbrouck, of Boise City,
who are on pleasure trip, arrived at the Raj
nier hotel yesterday. The two men first mem
toned are judges of the Idaho supreme court
and Mr.. Hasbrouck is the clerk. Chief Justice
sullivan is now in Portland. Judge Huston
was for a time prominent in Michigan politics;
but in 1869 he was appointed United States dis
trict judge of Idaho, and since then he has
made his home there. After he gave up the Of
nee ne continued the active practice of law un-
til his recent election to the judgeship.
Judge Morgan was born in Erie county, New
York, and studied at the Albany Law school in
1856 He afterward came to Illinois, and at the
breaking out OF the war went into the army of
the Cumberland. For three years ne served
with distinction When the war was over he
took an active part in Illinois politics, and was
for q number of years in the legislature as a
member of the lower house and also as senator.
Judge Morgan was then as always a warm per-
soma! and political friend of General Logan Had
Logan lived" said the judge last night 81 be-
Heye he would have been nominated for presid-
ent by the Republicans in ISIS, aud not only
nominated but elected. Logan was q much
finer man than those who didn't know him
were aware OF. When ne was running for
United States senator in 1876 he needed but two
or three Votes TO secure the election. Some OF
his friends wanted 10 buy two or three Demo
Gratis who had practically offered themselves
but General Logan steadfastly refused. He de-
clared that - did not care for honor nor pos.
ition gained in that way The result was the
election OF David Davis"
Judge Morgan was appointed chief justice of
Idaho in 1879 by President Hayes-sn appoint
ment which came through the influence of
General Logan. Having held the Office for six
years Judge Morgan retired from the bench and
devoted himself 10 his private law practice
Until his recent election 10 the state supreme
bench he has held no other office.
He said last night: Idaho is making very
favorable progress and is settling rapidly. Her
mineral wealth is very large, aud there are vast
agricultural lands. She is now great cattle
raising state, and with irrigation she can pro-
duce fine crops OF wheat and other such
products. Fortunately there are plenty OF
streams to supply the water for the irrigation
bitches"
