MANY VESSELS OVERDUE.
Large Fleet From Sound Ports De-
layed by Foul Weather.

The recent foul weather has occasioned
delay to an unusually large number OF
vessels bound along the coast. 1t Is prob
able that many of the overdue boats have
lost much of their time waiting inside the
Cape for favorable weather.
From San Francisco comes the following
report of some OF the large fleet of vessels
overdue at that port: Schooners Amethyst.
45 days. and s. Danieison, Al days, from
Tiuamook; Charles Hansen. "a days from
Coos bay; Coquille, % days from Coquile
River; ship Invincible, Is days, from Port
Blakeley; barkentine Leslie D., "a days
from Port Blakeey: sehooners Letitla, 20
days from Grays harbor; Martha w. Tuft.
II days from Grays harbor; Mayflower, 10
days from Coquile River; bark Northern
Light, q days from Port Blakeley, and
schooner Premier, 16 days from Olympia.
Only one of this fleet, the Amethyst, has
been spoken. That was about three weeks
ago, when she was supplied with provisions
by the transport Columbia. The American
Girl, three-masted schooner, bound for the
Sound, should have been reported long since
unless something has happened to her.

Since the days of 1902 there has been
no such activity and progress In urban
improvements in the city of Seattle. espe-
cially In the line Of business and residence
building, as during the year 1899. For the
eleven months ending November 30 last,
this year shows far greater number Of
permits issued and aggregated value of inn
provements than any year for the past
five years.
The above table shows concisely the won
derful improvement in building operations
in 1899 over former years. The year 1898
saw the resumption of city development in
Seattle. and was regarded at its close as a
remarkable year in the number of the
dwellings and business houses constructed.
It is now apparent that In the number OF
permits issued during 1899 and in the ag-
gregate value of the improvements made,
this year win be far In excess of 1898.
During November the city engineers
Office issued $50 permits, the total value
Of which was s117,S46. The number of per-
mits issued during the month was consider
ably less than during the past six months.
for the very plain reason that the APP
proach of winter naturally has a depress-
ing effect on building operations BY

Two Pointed Questions Answered.

What Is the use of making a better
article than your competitor IL you cannot
get a better price for 1t?
Ans.-As there is no difference in the
price the public will buy only the better,
so that while our profits may be smaller
on single sale they will be much greater
in the aggregate.
How can you get the public to know
your make is the best? =.
If both articles are brought prominently
before the public both are certain to be
tried and the public will very quickly pass
judgment on them ana use only the better
one.

The year has been remarkable up to date
for the number of brick and stone BUSH
ness blocks that have been erected or
started. During the year permits nave
been issued for eight one-story brick struc-
lures, valued at $4,000; nine two-story
brick structures valued at $t54,500 three
three-story brick structures, valued at $751;
600. and one fve-story brick and stone
structure valued at $4,000.
One of the largest brick and stone build
ings started during the year was the apart
ment house of the Moore Investment Com
pany at the corner OF Fourth avenue ana
Madison street, costing upwards of $4,000.
The SnoQualn1ie Falls Power Company has
finished a three-story brick and stone bust
ness block on Second avenue south. the
total cost OF which was $4,000.
In May permit was issued for the con-
struction Of business block at the Nos.
1908 to 1910 Second avenue by c. p Stone.
Another important business structure
started during the year was the Cyrus
Walker block. three stories high, costing
100000, at Nos. 1101-3-5 Second avenue.
The Moore Investment Company is build
Ing three-story brick business block at
the corner of Second avenue and Union
street, costing $40, Co.,
The year has also been a record break
err for the number of costly and ornamental
residences that have been erected Resi-
dence structures costing between $1,000 and
10000 each have not been uncommon. One
residence now being build by Charles D,
Stimson will cost nearly $4,000 when fin
ished.
Home building during the year 1899 has
been remarkable for the fact that the ma
jority of dwellings started were built by
people who owned them. While many resi-
dence fats and houses have been erected
by renting corporations or by individuals
as an income paying investment. yet more
than a half of the permits issued for
dwellings were taken out by people who
own the dwellings.
