FACTS AND POSSIBILITIES.

SeattIe's Facilities for Commerce and
the Commerce She Has Not.
c. z. Converse, private secretary to
General Manager Shelby. of the Great
Northern coast lines, has prepared for pub
LEGATION an elaborate analysis Of the for
eign commerce OF the Pacific coast ports,
with view to showing why Seattle should
become the most important seaport on
this Coast. He shows the advantages Of
Seattle's location with reference to trans
Pacific ocean routes. and also for trans
continental busines. the brilliant prospects
OF the city as jobbing point and distrib-
uting center, her abundant coal supply
and harbor capacity for handling a ship
ping business. and her independent rail-
way facilities. Tabulated statements OF
distances between New York and Chicago
and the chief Oriental cities are given,
showing that Seattle is on the shortest
route via the Great Northern railway.
Detailed statements Of the exports and
imports of San Francisco, Alaska and
Vancouver follow. The exports of San
Francisco for the year 1891 were $50, s87, 459
and the imports $53, 325 $50. The exports
of Alaska were C.94l, SIS and the imports
81, 252, so. Ninety per cent of this busi-
ness was done by San Francisco. Goods
imported into the United States via Van
couver amounted to SIS. 069, 769 and those
exported via the same port $50, 1882. OF
the exports, over so per cent. were shipped
from Portland to Vancouver. OF the inn
ports. a little over 50 per cent. were for
New York and 80 per cent. for Chicago,
and the Canadian Pacific not only got the
haul from the Orient in its ships but the
long rail haul as well. The principal srti-
cles imported from the Orient are tea. rice,
silk, firecrackers and curios, and the prin.
cipsal exports are -four, cotton and cotton
goods. machinery, flannels and hoofs.

EVERETT AND THE G. n.
Reasons Given for Delay in Signing the
Agreement

"kHcOsuGnss
EVERETT, March "a special to the
Herald from New York SAYS: The officers
Of the Everett Land Company have not
yet signed the agreement with the Great
Northern. but the delay is unavoidable,
and is simply for the reason that the coun-
Sc! Of the company is overloaded with
work and has not been able to give it care
ful consideration. Mr.. Wetmore. counsel
for the Everett Land Company, has writ
ten to Mr.. Clough, of the Great Northern,
explaining this. There is no hitch of any
kind and the agreement will be signed in a
few days. The main points Of the docu-
ment are: The Great Northern agrees to
build the tunnel line across the peninsula.
The Everett Land Company in return
gives the right-ot-way for the line. There
is also trackage agreement by which the
Great Northern allows the Everett &
Monte Cristo railroad the use of its track
on the new peninsula line.
Southern Roads Will Agree ON Rates.
SANTA BARBARA, March 9-The trans
continental freight agents have practically
decided that there will not be many
changes made in east-bound rates. The
other matters will in all probability be
completed this week. AS to who shall be-
come secretary of the tai
freight rate committee, nothing has vet
been decided. Several names have been
proposed, but it will probably be Chicago
man. No agreement for the establishment
OF new association has been signed yet, ,
the only action in that direction being the
resolution adopted yesterday. No disa-
greement has come I'D as yet, and it looks
hopeful for carrying out the project. The
interests Of the Sunset line and other
roads out of Chicago are in opposition to
each other in some things, but all differ.
ences arising from this fact seemingly
have been settled. The agents expect to
complete the adjustment OF rates to-
morrow. and other matters will then be
taken up.
In reply to the complaint of J. S. Gold.
smith. OF Schwabacher Bros. & Co, that
much delay is experienced by the firm in
getting cars for freigh. destined for points
on the Columbia & Puget Sound road.
Superintendent l.. E. Smith said yester-
day:
1 do not think anybody has had to wait al
long rs seven days for cars: nobody has had tn
wait over four days and tina, was only At our
busiest time. The Schwabachers had to wait
two or three days for car we loaded for them
on Wednesday, but that delay was due to tts
fact that We have an unusually heavy run of
freigh, at present, on account Of large ship.
mens OF hay and hops. We load four or five
cars month for them and have had no com.
plants While We have enough cars TO handle
the average run OF business. we cannot handle
rush OF freight as soon as it is offered II We
had cars enough TO do so. a large par, of our
equipment would BE- idle most OF the time.
However. we have recently made considerable
increase In our equipment Of box cars.
