The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1908-03-01

We wanted to confer with several
persons of prominence in Everett. 1t
was necessary that we add a we'll
known and popular box factory as a
regular supporter and beneficiary of
The Ranch; it was desirable that we
secure an announcement regularly
from one of the most successful bank
ers of the Northwest; we wanted to
talk with and interest q certain promi-
nent cream separator and gasoline en-
CINE dealer, and we wanted to dis
cuss disagreement with a real es-
tate captain who has been doing bust
ness with us as an advertiser-and
beside all these missions, it is not only
a duty but decided pleasure and edi-
fcation for us to visit that hustling,
resourceful, newly-promoted first-class
city every little while. So "The Old
Man" and got on the nine-thirty train
last Tuesday evening, landed in Ever
EFT at eleven and spent all Wednes-
day on a round of pleasant calls.
We had the rare good fortune to
break into the new 81 900 residence
of the box manufacturer and to find
him busy, genial, wide-awake indus
trialist who readily agreed to our
proposition and is now regular So
tourner on The Ranch.
The banker was a most interesting,
clear-headed, discerning sort of man,
one who will make a decidedly strong
figure in the banking circles of West
ern Washington one Of these days,
and who has already been singularly
successful. The announcement of his
rapidly-growing institution will appear
ree1Ilarlv in The Ranch.
We talked enjoyably with the cream
separator and gasoline engine man,
and he was interested to the extent
of full years contract, the extent Of
which will probably be largely in
creased within the next three months.
1t was gratifying that the disagree
ment with the captain of real estate
was upon investigation found to be no
disagreement at all and that every
thing was lovely and congenial.

The Everett Box Co.
Established In July, 1905, the Ever
EFT Box Co. has won and Is constantly
adding to it's reputation for certain re-
suits and perfect workmanship. Its
boxes are unexcelled and every one
turned out is guaranteed to be up to
the standard. This is logical situa-
ton. because the proprietors who con-

model box factory, located in close
proximity to the finest and largest
bodies of box timber on the Pacific
Coast. Last year the factory cut up
100000 feet of lumber and made
boxes of 1t that were shipped to Cali
fornia and to all parts of Washington.
The company buys its logs direct and
has them specially sawed, giving this
factory a decided advantage in the
market. Each box is carefully inspect
ed and must be faultless before 1t Is al
lowed to leave the factory. Nothing
but cement-coated nails are used and
only first-class timber. These facts
account for the rapidly increasing bust
ness of the factory as much as do the
very low prices the company is able
to quote on account of its economic
advantages of location, equipment and

First Scandal Bank.
One of the most marked successes
in banking circles in the Northwest Is
that of the First Scandal Bank of Ev-
erett, of which Mr.. Christ Olson Is
cashier and general manager. This
bank was established in July, 1906, has
a paid-up capital of $4,000 and has
1900 depositors with more than $780,
900 and carries a surplus Of $1,000.
This institution not only had the dis
tinction of paying all savings deposits
on call throughout the recent panic,
but rejoiced in the unique triumph of
gaining a considerable amount of bust
ness in all that stressful period.

Louisiana's Doors Closed.

Not to be Outdone by the advocates of
racetrack gambling reform in New York
state, the foes of the bookmakers in Lou
isiana rallied to a sensational finish at
Baton Rouge yesterday, when the senate
passed the Locke anti-race betting bill by
a vote of q to 10. In view Of the large
margin for the measure On q test vote
recently. there was some thought that the
final lineup would show a close division.
But the racing interests kept desperately
at work and on the eve OF the vote 1t was
found that the margin was so close that
1t threatened a tie. as in New York. Two
advocates of the bill were absent. One
was suffering from some form Of poison
ing and the widest rumors were afioat re-
garding the cause of his illness, even to
the effect that he had been deliberately
given knockout drops. Several physicians
were summoned and put to work upon the
ailing member. Meanwhile two New Or

marshes on a ninety-mile trip after a sem

Mr.. Cleveland's Death.

Although 1t has been apparent for some
time that Mr.. Cleveland was in seriously
Ill health. the later reports of his condi-
ton promised his recovery. perhaps slowly
but steadily. Only last night encouraging
statements were given out from his home
at Princeton indicating that his ailment
would probably take it's usual course
through a somewhat protracte period of
convalescence. The word that came this
morning Of his death was therefore shock
ing. notwithstanding the warning the
country had of his low condition.
Although out of political life and prac-
tically in retirement in all matters of
active participation in the worlds affairs,
Mr.. Cleveland remained a figure of great
significance and it is doubtful whether
any other American citizen not directly
engaged in the days work held so COM
handing a position in the public eye.
