v,.. ..... ;trt of that city at
the business men's convention
believes that the existing- holidsy

contends that public officials are
taking the holidays too serious.y,
thus hampering the business ol the

that practically all business except
the holdin of open court may be
done.

The substantial condition of the
Pacific Northwest b illustrated in
a most convincing way by the
wheat and flour shipments of Co

land and Puget sound ports (ln
eluding Seattle, Tacoma and other
points) a total of 8,893,480 bushels
of wheat and a total of 3,561, 726
barrels of flour. Tbe exact fig
