a series of happenings. beginning at
far distant points. finally eliminated in
the two greatest events of Seattle's
early history namely. the opening of
direct trade with the Orient and the
arrival of the first substantial SHIPMENT
of gold from Alaska and the Klondike
Both events followed upon a long
period of national depression during
which Seattle suffered in common with
other cities. In the summer of 1896

her cargo of silks. teas. eurios and
