dussry Tributary to seattle.

There is no important industry in the
state which has been marked by such
advances as have been made by Wash
ington clay workers. Five years ago
the clay business In this section of the
country was confined to common red
brick as the only clay product that had
any standing in the market, while to-
day King county leads the entire Pacific
coast in her diversity and quality of
clay wares. This has been due TO that
same interchangeable spirit and liberal eN
penditure OF money. which have been
the propelling power In bringing this
Northwest 10 the proud position she
now holds. But the success attained in
clay products. as in all other manufac-
turing pursuits, has been due in large
part also To the high grade of raw ma
terials that are stored in great abund
ance in many parts of the state. and es
pecially In Western Washington. where
clayS of the purest character have been
found, and, scientifically treated, are be-
ing converted into various products

OF which finds its way to Seattle. An
important feature OF the clay business
is that il represents labor largely. as
the raw materials are here mined and
converted into the manufactured pro-
duct. giving mulch labor to coal mines.

dents thereof being direct products
from the native land and mountain
stores.

certain that Mr.. Casimir-Perier would be re-

London. Jan. 15.-"The Morning Post" will pub
lish the following dispatch from Paris concern
ing the resignation Of NJ. Casimir-Perier:
When NJ Casimir- Perier received NJ Challemel-
Lacour he had already determined to resign.
NJ Challmel-Lacour vainly tried to influence
NJ. Casmr- Perer to alter his decision, and left
the Paais de rElysee greatly distressed. Min
listers Dupuy Leygues, Poncare. Mercer Raure
and Guerin visited the President separately and
urgd him to reconsider his determination, but
their efforts were futile. NJ. Dupuy later made
final appeal and was closeted with the Presden'
for three-quarters of an hour. He tried every
argument. but VI. Casmir-Perer remained OBJ
durate Then VI. Spuller. who was largely In
nuentlal In inducing NJ Casimir-Perer to form
Ministry in 1895, visited the President and re-
iterated the arguments Of the others.
NM Dupuy and Spjiller obtained a promise
from the President ;hat he would withhold his
resignation until 1890 p. m. When they were
leaving the presidents palace the two met the
Presidents mother In the corridor, and begged
bor to entreat her son to remain. The mother
nromi.ed TO exercise all her influence, and It Is
renorted that she had an affecting interview
