A SPLENDID STORE.
3. Friedman's Enterprise Again DIS
played In North Seattle.

The Seattle Dry Goods store, s. Fried
man, manager, has removed from the
Burke block to commodius quarters in
the Odd Fellows building, 1890 Front
street, in North Seattle, and is now open
to the public.
The new store is admirably located and
in every way convenient for the transac-
ton of large business. The display win
dows cover n frontage of forty feet and the
room runs back distance of 100 feet, CIV
ing every possible opportunity for an adj
vantagous arrangement Of counters and
shelves. There are $50 feet of the former
and go of the latter.
In speaking of the change Of location,
Mr.. Friedman said that he had located IN
North Seattle because he had been able 10
secure just such quarters as he desired,
and called special attention to the fine
light afforded by the large windows both
in the front and rear of the store.
'.The Seattle Dry Goods Store. said no,
"win carry q complete stock of dry goods.
clothing, gents furnishing, boots and
shoes; in fact, all lines of merchandise, ex-
cept groceries and crockery.'
At present five clerks are employed, and
although the store has been open TO the
public only few days, they are kept busy.
Mr.. Friedman is one of the most sue
cessful merchants on the Coast. lie has
conducted many large businesses, often
owning several large stores at one time,
and his name is synonym Tor push, en-
terprise and business tact.

formerly a mutual company, but has been re-
organized as joint stock concern.
There are now no purely mutual companies
doing business in the state. The Seneca County
Mutual was the only one admitted, and its IL
cense was afterwards revoked, not because it 10
q mutual company, but because IL had not as
much capital as the law prescrioes. But for
that fact, should have made a test case in re-
gard 20 this com pany on the question of whether
our law admits mutuals Ny contention is that
the law dies not prescribe the method of organ
ization of O company or its method of doirg
business. but that ii does prescribe standard of
security. There are some mutuals which have
larger capital than joint stock companies, aud
many have reserve funds and capital in the
form of mortgages and promissory notes. Since
the Seneca County Mutual was shut out no
purely mutual companies have applied for ad
mission, but there are some companies which
combine both the mutual and joint stock fea-
lures. Some of these days strong purely
mutual company Will seek admission and then
We shall test the question.
The state tide land commission meets at
Olympia on February %, and will, it Is ex-
pected, have a good deal OF work to do. The
Whatcom county board fled its report and the
sixty-day limit within which persons having
preference rights OF purchase can exercise them
has expired There is a whole stack OF applica-
tons on file in the land commissioners Office,
and there will be a number of contests on which
the state board will have to sdjudieate. The APP
plicant has the right OF appeal 70 the courts.
The local board is at work in Jefferson county
and its report will be filed in about two months.
We shall then receive applications for purchase.
The local board of Thurston county is also sur
veying and plating its tide lands.
The state land commission ia getting large
amount of routine work completed. We have
six cruisers in the field and they are locating
land quite rapidly. So far the state has secured
about 10000 acres, of which more is tim
Der than agricultural land, and according
to the cruisers estimates it is worth
SIS an acre and upward. In many cases the
squatters are ahead of the cruisers, for under
the enabling act the state is confined to sur
veyed, Incorporated, unreserved, non-min-
eral lands, and as the state has no squatters
right, the surveyors no sooner go out than the
squatters follow them, and by the time the plat
is filed have taken all that is worth having Mr..
Carter, the commissioner OF the general land Of
fee, recently made a ruling authorizing the
reservation OF land in the case of Montana, for
the purpose of state selections, but before the
Washington officials had sent on petition for
similar reservation Secretary Noble had over
ruled MIR. Carter. We expect soon to have bill
introduced in congress authorizing the fecre-
