and no new cars have been built since the
dull times set In. The railroads know
just 70 q cent how much business they
can do under normal conditions. When
these are restored by the election OF Nc
Kinley. they Will Immediately begin prepa-
rations for the resumption that Is sure TO
follow the success OF the Republican party.
In order to equip themselves for a
natural amount Of traflc, the Eastern
railroads will BE- compelled to Immediately
begin the construction Of new cars and to
repair the loss. wear and tear of the past
three years-both of which they have
lowed the panic Of 1888 Orders will flow

Mr.. Browne 10 very keen observer and
Is In close touch with the business interests
OF the country. He IL advised from all
quarters OF the country and from many
foreign nations as to business conditions
and the demands Of trade. Consequently
his observations bear great weight.
Mr.. Brown expressed himself 20 the
presence OF a gentleman connected with
one OF the local financial institutions. who
has recently returned from New York and
other Eastern states. This gentleman sue
ceeded in securing quite q large amount
OF capital for Investment In an industry
In this city which consumes Washington
raw material exclusively. He corrobor-
ated everything Mr.. Browne had said and
added that many men In the money cen.
tiers Of tho East are waiting only for the
settlement Of the questions involved In
the present political campaign to invest
their money where Il would earn some
thing. To many New York men Of high
financial standing the Northwest and par
ticulariy the Puget sound country Of
Washington seemed to offer the most at
tractive neld for capital.
II know OF q number Of enterprises nv
self that win be launched as soon as Nc
kinney II elected" said this gentleman,
''and all OF them viii put men to work
The result OF the renewed activity In the
business world following the election OF
Mckinley viii be Of inestlmabie value to
the state OK washington.
These men were not talking for politi-
cal effect. They know whereof they speak.
There Is more wealth In the fishing in
dustry or Puget sound than IN all the sill
yer mines west Of the Rockies" said a gen
tleman well known In Tacoma business
circles. today. and who has recently re-
turned from q trip TO England, where ne
went to md market for frozen, smoked
and salfed Puget sound salmon. The
proposition he submitted to capitalists In
England was graspcd IT eagerly IT was
shown that fresh salmon can be prepared
Tor shipment and delivered In prime con-
dition in English markets. where they
bring extraordinarily high prices The gen
tleman named tried the experiment him
self. shipping a box Of salmon 10 London
by express. where II arrived in the same
condition in which 1t left the Sound. The
process OF packing the Ash after they ara
frozen Is secret one. The Pos.-Intelli-
gencers informant stated that as soon as
the election Is over . company would be
organized on the Sound for the purpose
OF engaging In the expectation Of fresh.
salt and cured Puget sound salmon, and
would employ . large force OF men at good
wages.
That times are on the mend in this sta.s
n evidenced by the receipt here during the
past week by the 81. Paul ana Tacoma
i.ufscsr Company OF an order for 400 90
feet OF lumber from a railroad entering
Chicago The shipment will be by rail and
will DC made as soon as the order can ia
filed. This is the largest Domestic nrsss-
received for some time. The ST. Paul mil,
Is loading the bark Forest Queen for San
Francisco. ana at the Tacoma mill the
ship Jndauntcd and bark Dashing Wave
are loading fer Coast points. The rlilIrnsn
here have been rushed with foreign orders
for some weeks past. bart there has been
a tearrh OF domestic ard coasswfse ship
ments. which promises to disappear after
the election OF Mckinley.
