purchased from Hilltnan made money,

"Since, the establishment of equal suf

a public duty, as well as an opportunity
for nelpfulneas that when any position
appropriate to a woman and of honor
or service to the community, it would
be my, duty and my privilege to appoint
a woman who could fill such ' posi

Seattle, Wash., April . Not In sev
eral years has Seattle's Alaska trade
opened so briskly as during the last
month. Every steamer for the north
ha left with sll passengers and freight
accommodations filled to the limit and
for all of this month there will be a
heavy exodus to southeasternWVIaska. In
addition to the regular liners a half
cio):in tramp steamers and an equal
number of barges In tow have, been
I dispatched for various points along the
Alaskan coast as far west as Dutch Har-
1 hnr. This unusual activity Is due to the
WBrontlT of the salmon Industry and the
rtfcvelopment of the whaling business.
it is caumaieu iimi new aaimon can
neries nre being erected along the Alas
kan coast.
More than $1,000,000 of new capital
lias been invested In the business this
spring, having been attracted by the
prosperity of tlp canners during the
last three or four years and particu
larly In 1911. All the Puget sound
shipyards have turned out salmon tend
ers during the winter. Sojne of these
have gone north under their own power,
while oXhers have been transported on
the decks of the freight steamer. It
Is estimated that 5000 people left Se
attle during the last month lo work for
the salmon companies. Many of these
arc Chinese unaer contract. I'racucaiiy
every barge owned on Puget sound,
most of which were idle last year, has
ben engaged for either the whaling or
salmon business this season.
Supplies for Whaling Stations.
A. considerable fleet of bulks Is al
r.adv pn route north under tow carry-

Norwegian steamer coming out from
Norway bringing Norwegian labor
skilled in whaling, and supplies for the
business. Another foreign company will
establish a station near Dutch Harbor,
Aleutian Islands, while others will whale
rloser to Cape nattery.
The codfishing fleet, consisting of
nine sailing vessels which wintered on
rvret sound, put to sea this week. Al
together the activity In -Seattle prepar
ing for the season has reminded old
timers of 10 or II years ago when the
Klondike ana iome neipeq 10 ouna Se

Times to Build Home.
Announcement by the Seattle Times
of the purchase of a nlte for its own
home in the Westlako district, calls at
tention to the rapid growth of the city
towards the north.' Eight or 10 years
ago, the city center was, at Pioneer
Square, but gradually the retail section
has been drifting northward until Pike
street, only a few years ago a deserted,
out of the way thoroughfare, Is now
one of the retail section's busiest ar
teries. Lately the tendency of develop
ment has been north of Pike and the
announcement of the Times' purchase
on -Westlake will give impetus to the
recently completed regrade section north
of Pike. In the Denny hill section, where
Is located the New Washington hotel.
The Times' announcement has been
followed by the making public of plans
for othar new buildings In the same
vicinity, among them a seven story hotel
to be erected by ex-Mayor G. W. Dll-
llng. Recent real estate transfers be
tween Pike and Pine streets will be fol
lowed by the erection of several build
ings. About $100,000 is to be invested In
office blocks In this part of the city.
Building construction under way In
Seattle's business district Is estimated
at more than $5,000,000. Sales of water
front and tidelands property have feat
ured the week's business so that alto
gether Seattle's realty market is in a
much more promising state than It has
been for two years. The proposed ter
minal improvements have given Impetus
to the movement of real estate in all
sections of, the city.
. KUlmaa to Go to Prison,
The efijual of the United States su
preme court ,tp review tho conviction
of Clarence D. Hillman, real estate pro
moter, found guilty of using the malls
for fraudulent purposes, means that tho
millionaire, wljo base made a fortune
in Puget sound real estate, will shortly
begin serving a sentence of two years
In the federal prison on McNeil's Island.
Hlllman's methods had been question
able for years and it. was not until a
local newspaper began an attack upon
him that the federal authorities took
action.- The conviction has been largely
