MILLIONS COMING
TO PUGET SOUND
VESSELS RECENTLY PURCHASED

Seattle, April lit is reported
on the best authority today that the
observation-disclosures syndicate con-
templates, In fact has arranged for.
the expenditure of nearly 10000
600 in new enterprises on Puget
Sound.
A copper wire and copper products
plant at Tacoma, a line of lake ves-
sells on the inside passage to Cor
dova; the virtual monopoly of the
coal trade on the west coast of North
America; assimilation of the Nippon
Yusen Kaisha line steamer. These
are the projects on hand.
The Tacoma plant, for which the
contract has been completed, will
require the expenditure of $1,000
600, and will be the largest copper
producing plant in the world. This
is to be fed from the Bonanza cop
per mine, which is the terminus of
the road now building from Coriova
by the Guggenheims.
It is said to be the plan to bring
around the Horn vessels recently
turned over to the stockholders OF
the Mesaba iron mines by James j.
Hill of the Great Northern railroad.
These bottoms are to be placed I'M
der Japanese register and operated
in connection with the Nippon Yusen
Kaisha line to transport from Alaska
the thousands of tons of copper matte
and the almost limitless amount Of
high grade anthracite and bitumin-
GUS coal owned by the syndicate to
Puget Sound.
Plenty of Coal.
The coal fields, which are located
some 80 miles from Cordova, cover
hundreds of square miles AMI both
bituminous and anthracite is found
of a quality said to be superior to the
Pennsylvania product.
The sailing of vessels under the
Japanese flag is explained by the fact
that the United States has no ship
subsidy while Japan has. James ].
Hill is said to be largely interested
in the Japanese steamship line, hence
the plan to utilize the lake steam
ships which are not all required in
the lake ore carrying trade, and
bring them under the operation of
the Japanese ship subsidy.

The Guggenheim-M organ-Hill COM
bination will take over the Nippon
Yusen Kaisha and the bulk of the
Oriental traffic is expected to go over
the Great Northern. The Guggen-
helm railway building to the copper |

expected, be completed in the fall of
next year.

How His Constituents Feel.

Representative William 8. Bennett
of New York. is rapidly learning just
where he stands with his constituents.
For the purpose of acquiring that
knowledge Mr.. Bennett recently had
printed letter which he sent to the
$4,000 citizens in his district. The
letter says:
"The Sixty-first congress. to which
I have been elected. as your represen-
tative from the Seventeenth congrs-
sional district, has begun its first SEES
sion. You doubtless will be interest.
ed In measures which come before

to hear from you concerning them.
II there is any way in which, as your
representative, I can be of service
to you please consider me at your
command at any time"
The letter brought forth hundreds
of responses, asking the representa-
tive to do all sorts of impossible
things In the way Of national legis.
lation. There was one letter, how
ever, which was safe and sane. The
writer used the same sheet of paper
as that on which Mr.. Bennett commu-
nicated with him. and down in the
corner he wrote:
