SEATTLE.
Seattle. April 2o.-Improved bus
mess conditions in the Pacific

have contracted for their help and
the incidental trade in their sup
plies include hardware. groceries,
canned goods and other commodi-
ties is about equal to the volume
maintained before the outbreak of
the war.
Ships to Alaska are well booked
in advance and the seasonal traffic
northward promises to be eXcep-
! tionalIy heavy. All lines operating
from Seattle are preparing for this
increased traffic.
Unemployment in the northwest
| has been materially reduced by the
spring demand for men ia the log
ging camps and lumber mills Of
the Puget Sound district. Build
ing operations also are increasing,
contracts having been awarded this
week for more than $1,OOO,OO0
worth of construction in the apart
ment house district.
