We show cut OF full train load ship
ment to Poison & Son, OF Portland, Or,
the largest seed merchants in the north
west, IL not on the whole Pacific coast.
POISSON & Son selected the Northern Pa
ci6c route for this shipment which con-
sists Of ten full car loads OF garden seeds
and four full car loads Of bee keepers
supplies, about Is, 900 pounds all told.
The fact tina. this is more than seven
times as many garGen seeds as have been
brought to the Pacific coast by any other
concern in any one shipment. and nearly
twice as large as Poison 4 Son themselves
made last year, not only shows the popu-
larity OF this drm and the wonderful in
crease OF their business, but tends to show
the extraordinary growth Of the whole
Pacific northwest. Here only few years
ago one or two car loads of seeds would
supply the whole northwest, while now
this one enterprising firm handles over
2sO, 900 pounds. This train is due here
next Monday, the 18th, and it is expected
will side-track at the depot about l
o'clock in the after noon.
