VERY BRIGHT PROSPECTS.
Judge Thomas Bufke's Views on Seat.
tics Future-Exports Exceed Inn.
ports = Seattle . Transo0ntinental
Railway Centsr - Interview With
Crawford + Conover.

In reply to question yesterday Hon.
Thomas Burke said: ''Seattle's prospects
are better and brighter today than they
have ever been before in the history of the
city. l will give two reasons sufficient to
prove it.
"First-Seattle has now become . trans
continental railway center through the &C
ton of the Great Northern railway.
''Second-The Puget sound country 10
now producing and exporting vastly more
than it is importing and using. That is
the true test of q countrv's prosperity. 1t
is fact, as surprising as it is true. that the
shingle product alone is now bringing very
nearly rs much money into the Puget
sound country as the wheat product does
into Eastern Washington. In my judg-
ment Seattle is on the eve of better times
than it has ever before experienced"
Crawford & Conover, when interviewed
on the same subject, said: "Unless all
signs fail, Seattle IS very decidedly on the
IN grade. We think the effect of the
Worlds fair will be good for the Coast. 1t
will have the effect of stimu ating travel
and will bring large numbers to this coun-
try. The Great Northern railway is going
to do US more good than any of us fully
share in the benefits, Seattle being, as Mr..
Hill expresses it. the headquarters and
headquarters of the Great Northern on the
Pacific coast will naturally be the scene
Of the greatest results. Besides. this
country IS being developed. and already
our exports exceed our imports"
what is your idea in advertising that
you will sell property now to be paid for
when one cant"
simply this--we have never sold any
thing but the more expensive class Of resi-
dence and business property. We have
noticed that the cheaper class of property
thus far offered has been 80 far out that
there has been no inducement for people
of moderate means to become hometown
ers. We believe We can change this by
buying good property inside at . reasona-
bic figure for cash and selling it to people
who want to lay the foundation Of home
and let them pay for it as their resources
will permit. We think by doing this We
can control practically all Of the business
IN moderate priced residence property
For instance, every lot we are now offering
at from $3.50 to $500 q lot on Madison street
is real bargain, and any man who does
not simply want to tie up property for
speculation can pay for it absolutely just
as his means will permit. We bought the
property at a bargain for cash and can
afford 70 sell it as we are doing, and are
making the sale of it on these terms as an
advertisement. Every man who gets q
lot there will be lifelong advertiser for
us. For persons who want more ex-
pensive property we have Renton's addi-
ton, owned by the estate of the late
William Renton. and Squire Park, owned
by Senator Squire. the two choicest resi-
dence tracts in the city. OF course, We
will continue to make the sale of the best
business property one Of the main features
of our business"
