The Empire Transportation Company
and ST. Michael five large ocean steam
ships and fleet OF ten steel river boats
on the Yukon. Two OF the steamships are
now en- voyage to this port, and the other
three will start before the end OF the
month. The river boats are now building
on the Atlantic coast.
Probably no greater indication of faith
in the permaneney of the Alaska boom
and practical recognition of the absolute
supremacy OF the city OF Seattle as the
gateway through which hundreds Of thou
sands will pass TO prospect and settle the
vast northern domain, has yet been given
than Is found in the selection of this city
by the Empire Transportation Company
as its headquarters on the Pacific coast.
With but few facilities for the handling
of such large vessels as will be operated
by the company. and no particular In
ducement in the matter OF location. the
agents sent TO settle upon headquarters
were forced TO the decision that here was
the business and from here must be run
any line that hoped to secure its share
Of traffic.
The representatives of the company,
General Manager George H. Higbee and
General Agent Gates Fahnenstock. have
been on the coast several weeks investi-
eating and comparing the advantages OF
the more important cities. 1t soon be-
came apparent TO them that Seattle's en-
terprise in securing and catering to Alas
ka trade had put her far ahead OF CON-
petition from San Francisco, Tacoma and
Portland. Mr.. Fahnenstock had been for
three years representative Of the Inter
national Navigation Company in San
Francisco. and may be supposed to have
had natural prejudice n favor of that
place. But the apathy of the commercial
interests and the obvious Disadvantages
of location as compared with more north
ern cities put San Francisco out of the
question in the start. When il came to a
decision between Tacoma, Portland and
Seattle. the work of the steamship ex-
per,s was reduced to sinecure. 1t could
only be Seattle.

WILL 1T BE WARP

The report of the Investigating
Committee of the Maine is now in
the hands of the President, and its
contents will probably be known
by next Monday.
The President and Hanna are op-
posed to war if they can settle mat
ters on money basis, but the senti-
ment of the American people is to
the effect that the death of the brave
men who went down on the Maine
should not be paid for as though
they were so many cattle.
This country has spent over half
of the $50,000,60o appropriated for
war purposes by Congress, and is
now in shape to put up a pretty
good fight.
If Mckinley asks for indemnity
the Spaniards will ask for the same,
in double the amount that is named
by this country, for damage claimed
to be done by American filibusters
The monied men and bond hold
ers are using every effort possible
to prevent war, and seem to have
the best of it.
The American people are demand
ing punishment of the Spaniards
for the killing of their fellow men
and the independence of Cuba, and
the sentiment may be strong enough
to make Mckinley throw his bond
holding friends overheard.
War is hell, hut it is worse than
hell to be considered lot of cow
ards by every nation on earth, and
especially by little flee of coun-
try like Spain.
In the meantime the hungry,
wretched and starving people Of
Cuba are praying that some assist
ance may come which will keep
them from dying of starvation.

THE past year was the one the
Republicans predicted would show
a marked increase in prosperity on
this coast. There are several drum
mers who visit this place monthly,
and every one of them declares that
business has fallen off from 20 to 30
per cent. as compared with the
previous year. A commercial man,
who is travelling over the country
constantly, and who has been OH
the road for years, is a pretty good
judge of the times in the country
through which he travels. If their
estimates are correct California will
not be found in the Republican

WORDS OF HENRY GEORGE.

We do not propose to assert equal
rights to land by keeping land com
mon, letting any one use any part
of it at any time. We do not pro-
pose the task, impossible in the
! sent state of society, of dividing
land in equal shares; still less the
yet more impossible task of keeping
it so divided. We propose, leaving
land in the private possession of in
dividuals, with full liberty on their
part to give, sell, or bequeath it,
simply to levy on it for public uses
a tax that shall equal the annual
value of the land itself, irrespective
of the use made of it or the improve
ments on it. And since this would
provide amply for the need of pub
lie revenues, we would accompany
this tax on land values with the
repeal of all taxes now levied on
the products and processes of in
dustry-which taxes, since they
take from the earnings of labor, we
hold to be infringements of the right
OF property.-Conditio Of Labor.
