Greater interes: in the riches OF the
North is manifested In Chicago than even
in Seattle. Crowds constantly throng the
Offices of the transportation companies.
Inquiries pour In for informant lion of all

Some two years ago Hossack filed very
sensational civil suit In the superior court
here. affecting property IN Edison. now
South Tacoma, and more than 80 property
owners In the district named were made
defendants. For some reason the hearing
was delayed at the time the suit was be-

and Judge Williamson succeeded him. the
latter inherited this suit. among others.
which Judge Priscsard had not disposed
OF during his term.
The suit was brought on a mortgage for
90. 600 given by the Excelsior Park Land
Company 70 the Mason Mortgage Loan
Company. The plaintiff secured the mort
gage from the latter company. When the
case was first brought before Judge VIII
hanson several months ago he found that
he had previously acted az an attorney in
the matter, and for this reason he had 1t
transferred to another department. There

The complaint I'm the suit Is the most
voluminous document OF the kind ever filed
in the court here. embracing more than
so printed paragraphs. The case Is more
than ordinarily interesting because the
homes OF many people in South Tacoma
are imperiled by It. and a decision may
mean no end OF further complications It
seems that after the mortgage was given
10 the Mason Mortgage Loan Company
lots continued TO be sold I'm the tract in
question by the Excelsior Park Land Com
pany. The buyers In good faith built
homes ana otherwise expended money in
improvements on the property affected by
the mortgage. and now all whose homes
may DO affected by the suit are anxiousIy
looking forward to the next step in the
case.

Increasing Wealth In Kansas.

From the Kansas City Star
The statements of Kansas banks that
have just been published by Commissioner
Breidenthal, show that there has been an
Increase of 40 per cent in the deposits and
an Increase of IS per cent in the cash and
sight exchange since October. 1896. The
state banks have gained six and a half
millions in deposits, and their cash items
have increased four and half millions
The banking business in Kansas is about
evenly divided between state and national
institutions. 1t is safe to assume that the
latter have made equal gains with the
former, SO that, in the aggregate, the de-
posits In all Kansas banks are now thir-
teen millions larger and the supply of cash
nine millions greater than they were a
year ago.
There is no way of estimating the in
crease in the amount Of money in active
circulation in the pockets Of the people
and in the hidden stores of those who are
afraid to put their money in banks, but
1t Is safe to say that several million dol
lars of the money that has come into
Kansas in the past year has failed to reach
the banks, SO that the great gains in the
holdings of the banks do not represent all
the increased capital at the command of
the people of Kansas.
When 1t is remembered that a large
amount of the money that Kansans have
received for their products in the past year
has remained in the east to pay mortgages
anu ueotS VI sarious sortS, tnlS increase IN
the amount of cash in the state appears
all the more remarkable. 1t Is safe to say
that no such proportionate gain was ever
before made by a community anywhere in
this country. Many millions I'm debts have
been paid during the year-debts which
have been a constant drafm on the net
profits of the people in past years, and
their cancellation insures for Kansas a
continual increase in its resources. Money
which has been sent out of the state here
tofore to pay interest. vii. now remain in
the state, so that the past years great in
crease in the deposits and the cash hold
ings of the people of Kansas is merely a
beginning of a continual increase. year
after year. for a long time to come. There
can be no doubt Of that.
Nothing but the most serious and wide
spread failure Of crops can keep Kansas
from piling up wealth and growing more
and more Independent OF money loaners
outside the state every year for a long time
to come.
