THE PASSING THRoNG.

A party OF New York city tourists who
are doing this part Of the West for the
first time are guests At the Rainier. They
are Mrs. " r.. Reynai. Miss G. A. r Van
Wvck. y. c. Reynal. the son OF Mrs. Key
nal. Mr. and Mrs. Henry e. Tinker aud
Capt. J. p. Story, OF the Fourth United
States artillery. stationed 1T Old Point Com
fort, Va. They are travelling IN New
York Central private car which used TO be
the private car of w. X. Vanderbilt. and
viii spend several days on the Sound.
They have been 10 the Worlds fair and
Yellowstone National park and will return
by way of California and one of the South
ern routes The rest Of the party are
guests OF Mrs. Reynai. vho IS . wealthy
lady quite prominent in New York society.
Mr.. Tinker is president OF the Liberty Ma
fionai hank. and is quite a young man for
such q responsible position. Speaking on
the financial question last night TO re-
porter for the Posr-IyTELLisEycER, he
said: Next summer money will be
drug on the New York market and will so
begging for borrowers. but very little OF 1t
will seek investment in the West for the
reason that Eastern capitalists are afraid
TO lend their money to Western imitation
lists. The whole thing is question OF
credit and reputation. The man. the COM
muniiy. the state. the section. the nation,
which maintains its credit Is Away the one
which can borrow. 1t is not alone
q question of security. ! would

every financial institution TO have no

so timid rs capital. and when il begins to
distrust class of people about money
matters that distrust extends to every
thing of a credit nature in connection with
them. Take Kansas, for instance. East
ern money lenders are taking their money
out of that state as fast as they can, simply
because they distrust the people.s Now,
one of the popular failacies is that it Is
rich people who are the money lenders.
Quite the contrary Is the fact. The rich
people are more often borrowers than
lenders. In fact every man on Wall street il
borrower. Their money is invested in
real estate. railroads, mines. buildings and
all sorts of enterprises, to inaugurate and
carry on which they borrow the money of
the millions of small depositors in savings
baaks and other fiduciary institutions.
Why. only the other day Z. p. Hunting
ton had to borrow s., 00o, 900 to pay the in
terest on his railroad bonds. This talk Of
gold sppreciating in value to the advantage
OF the rich people Is all nonsense. As
have said. most of the rich men are them
selves borrowers and the poor are the
lenders. So if any be benefited by the APP
probation OF gold IL will be the poor peo-
pie who have laid by a small competence
by their frugality and economy, and not
the spectators. who are the borrowers.
DIR. and Mrs. e. Buchanan. of Tulalip,
returned Wednesday from visit to the
Worlds fair and Washington City and
are stopping at the Occidental. DIR.
Buchanan is the physician in attendance
at the Tnlaiip Indian agency and his visit
to Washington City was for the purpose
Of attending the Pan-American Medical
congress. The next session of the congress
will be held in the City of Mexico, the
time TO be determined at the meeting of
the International Medical congress, which
meets in Paris next spring. Nothing
was said at the meeting about diseases
peculiar to or most prevalent
among the Indians" said he, .and
believe nothing has ever been
published on the subject. But IN my
seven years experience among them I
find that the diseases most common
among them are ola pulmonary, scrofulous
or venereal character. Ii is popularity
considered that the outdoor life. athletic
exercises aud simple habits OF the indians
would tend TO ward off all danger of con-
sumption. but they live in huts were they
expectoratc on the ground and on the
floors. and by the evaporation the bacteria
float in the air and are inhaled by those
who may not yet have been infected"
G. @. Austin has returned from a wheat
buying trip through the Palouse country
and says that the Sound will get its full
share of this years crop. 1.-The Union
Pacific people are making desperate efforts
TO get the farmers TO ship their way" said
he, "and for that purpose are spreading
reports that Portland has secured nearly
all the vessel tonnage. They have got
some of the farmers scared that the Sound
ports will not be able TO handle their
product. but there will be no difficulty.
Plenty of ships are under charter to load
at this port and Tacoma TO take the
bulk of the CROP and the Sound will get
the bulk of it. Wheat has hardly begun
TO move yet. for the farmers are not
through harvesting The crop is larger
than ever before and the only section
where II is at all damaged is the upper
Palouse. where a sharp frost following tho
rain of last week nipped some of the late
wheat. While the price is low. tho farm
ers are not holding for a rise. for they
have got TO sell In order TO pay the bankers
and merchants. We have made arrange
ments TO handle the wheat from the
Farmers Alliance warehouses at the Seat
tie warehouse and shall ship il all here"
