In preparing "Sketches of Washingtonians" any man who has in any conspicuous way contributed to the moral, intellectual, industrial or political growth of the state has been deemed a suitable person for these pages. We have men who are prominent in every branch of commerce, notable divines, eminent judges, great lawyers, talented medical men and those who have contributed to the educational growth of this section. There is an irresistable attraction in reading the lives of prominent people which enchains the hearts of young and old alike. The study of individuals as represented by men and women whose names are prominent in the localities in which they reside is not only fascinating but instructive. Strange as it may seem, we know less of living persons who by thought and action are now moulding the destiny of the state, than we do of the immortal dead whose epitaphs are written in the sacred archives of history. This work is a record of Washingtonians now living. It contains a brief sketch of men obtained in nearly all cases by personal interview. The work is therefore of untold value as a text-book of state character, an authentic account of progress and development, and the influence of master minds upon American history. •I The late Hon. Benjamin Harrison, ex-president of the United States, said: €j[ "If we would strengthen our country we should cultivate a love for it in our hearts and in the hearts of our children and neighbors ; and this love for civil institutions, for a land, for a flag, if they are worthy and great and have a glorious history, is widened and deepened by a fuller knowledge of them." €} This work is an invaluable cyclopedia of names of men of Washington. Its value to the young is unquestioned, as it teaches them to emulate the deeds of those who are living examples of deserving fame. Men are forever drifting down the slow stream, and most of their deeds, like themselves, pass into oblivion; it is well while the opportunity is at hand to make mention of their record for posterity.

BY EDMOND S. MEANY, Professor of History, University of Washington. Following is a list of more than 100 Indian names in common use as geographic terms in the state of Washington.

The city of Seattle will hold a $10,000,000 world's fair in the sum mer of 1909. It will be the most tremendously significant under taking ever carried to a successful conclusion in the Pacific North west, and will serve to place this part of the United States, and Alaska to the north, prominently before the eyes of the world. The fair, which has been called the Alaska- Yukon-Pacific Expo sition, will aim primarily to exploit the resources of the little-known Northland, but will include in its broad scope adequate representa tion of every branch of human progress in America and the foreign countries. It will be a world's fair in every sense, and will cost, on opening day, in the neighborhood of $10,000,000. The fair was launched on May 7, 1906, by the formation of the exposition corporation, of which J. E. Chilberg is president. Associated with him are men prominent in business and professional life. On October 2, 1906, the citizens of Seattle bought stock in the corporation to the extent of $650,000. This accomplishment, unpar alleled in the history of national expositions, at once put the enter prise on its feet. The fund immediately available will be increased by an appro priation, probably of $1,000,000 from the state of Washington, and perhaps as much more from the national government. To this will be added generous allowances for participation by the several states and foreign governments, while individual exhibitors will spend millions. Alaska cost the United States $7,200,000. Her exports and im ports annually exceed three times this amount, while Seattle alone has banked $100,000,000 of yellow Alaskan gold. Besides Alaska has wonderfully rich fisheries, and her furs are a considerable asset. In recent years it has been found that the hardier grains and grasses thrive even beyond the arctic circle, and a new field in agricultural endeavor has been opened. All of this and more will be shown con vincingly, interestingly, comprehensively, in displays made in an Alaska building at the fair. The Yukon country, whose products are similar, will be similarly exploited. 13 SKETCHES OF WASHINGTONIANS. It is already assured that state participation will be on a more generous scale than ever before at an exposition held on the edge of the continent. The western commonwealths, profiting largely by the fair held at Portland in 1905, have become skillful in arranging displays, and can be counted on for most interesting showings. The national government, always a good showman, will have a collection of exhibits which cannot fail to interest every American who cares to see how his country is run, and what it can raise and produce from the earth. One of the principal objects of the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Expo sition will be to foster trade with the Orient, to bring the shores of the Pacific together in commercial harmony. Asia and Oceanica, with ten times the population of the United States, might well use many American products of whose very existence they are now ig norant, while Americans in return would find, if they investigated, that the people across the sea have things for them that they ought to have. The bringing of buyer and seller together, through the medium of exhibits which may be viewed by visitors from across the sea as well as from America, will be perhaps the chiefest accom plishment of the world's fair of 1909. Dependencies of most European nations border on the Pacific and these will be represented in the gathering of the nations at Seattle. Great Britain, France, Germany and the Netherlands own islands in the sea which they will want to exploit. Australia and New Zealand probably will have displays separate from those of the the United Kingdom, while the Central and South American repub lics, the Dominion of Canada, and Mexico can be counted upon as certainties. There have already come assurances that the number of private exhibitors will be limited only by the capacity of the exhibit palaces. It will be the aim of the management to have working displays al most exclusively, showing the processes of manufacture rather than the manufactured article. Work is already under way on the exposition grounds, which have been laid out under the direction of John C. Olmsted, a land scape architect of national reputation. The site chosen is ideally fitted to the purpose, a tract of 255 acres, sloping from an elevation of 150 feet to the shores of Lake Washington. The tract embraces part of the campus of the University of Washington, and some of the exhibit palaces will be erected as permanent structures, to be used afterwards for recitation halls and dormitories. 14 %«p h 0 C£>1JV Countries Directiv Interested in the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition WASHINGTON THE EVERGREEN STATE COMPILED BY W.

THE TERRITORY OF WASHINGTON WAS SET OFF FROM Oregon March 2, 1853. The southern boundary was the Col umbia River to the 46th parallel near WaUa WaUa, and thence east to the Rocky mountains, thus including Idaho and a part of Mon tana. At its organization its population was only 3,965, of whom 1,682 were voters. With the discovery of gold in Eastern Washing ton, a great influx of population followed and the alarmed Indians determined to exterminate the Whites. This led to the Washington- Oregon Indian War of 1855-56. Again in 1857 there were serious Indian troubles concurrent with the rush of population to the gold fields of British Columbia, but the greatest rush was after the discovery of gold at Salmon River, in 1860. At the time of the boundary treaty between Great Britain and the United States in 1846 the 49th degree was accepted as the boun dary to the channel between Vancouver island and the mainland, thence down that channel to the sea. In 1859 a dispute arose as to which channel was meant, as on this hinged the possession of the 16 SKETCHES OF WASHINGTONIANS. Haro archipelago ,of which San Juan is the largest island. A col lision between British and American soldiers was narrowly averted. The question was finally settled in favor of the United States by the decision of the German Emperor, October 21, 1872. An attempt was made to secure statehood in 1876, and in 1878 a constitution was adopted, but to no purpose. In 1881-83 another bill was introduced into Congress, but again failed. February 22, 1889, the Omnibus Statehood Bill admitting the two Dakotas, Montana and Washing ton, was signed by the President. A constitutional convention met July 4th and state officers were elected at the same time. The state was admitted November 11, 1889. The United States Govern ment has spent large sums for a navy yard and other governmental works at Bremerton, near Seattle. GOVERNORS OF WASHINGTON. Territorial. Isaac I. Stevens 1853-57 C. H.

It is not necessary to exaggerate in the slightest degree in giv ing information about this wonderful state| The plain truth is sufficient to show that Washington is one of the garden spots of the continent. Its matchless climate, wonderful scenery, its grains and fruits, minerals, timber, fish, etc., are the wonder of the world. It promises independence and comfortable, happy homes to millions. It is one of the last undeveloped desirable sections of the United States. Free Government land can still be had and choice locations elsewhere are available for purchase at low figures. Washington offers to young men the best opportunity to secure wealth and prom inence. Those who go there now can become rich in ten or fifteen years, as other men have done in the older sections of the country. The avenues through which wealth may come are numerous — farm ing, lumbering, mining, shipbuilding, fisheries, real estate, business ventures of every kind, all hold out most attractive possibilities. The overcrowded East offers but few opportunities. Washing ton is the land of promise, a land flowing with milk and honey, a state that once visited and understood proves so attractive and de sirable in every way that few can resist its charm. To visit Washing ton is to stay. To stay means long life and happiness in one of earth's Gardens of Eden. Climate. — Washington is said to have all climates except the tropical. It is divided into two distinct divisions by the Cascade Mountains. On the west, the Puget Sound Country, there is really no winter and almost no ice or snow. Roses bloom in December and grass is green all the year round. Fifty varieties of flowers have been plucked out of doors even at Christmas. Winters are warm and moist, summers cool and dry. In Eastern Washington the climate is very different. It is much drier and somewhat colder in winter and dry and considerably warmer in summer, but the summer nights are always comfortably cool and the climate is far superior to any in the East. In many places in these sections one will find almost the exact climate of Denver, Manitou, Colorado, or the Salt Lake Valley of Utah. In some sections of Eastern Washington irrigation is carried on, and enormous fruit, grain, and pasture crops are raised. The climate of both Eastern and Western Washington is en tirely free from the sudden changes and variations of other sections. There are almost no thunderstorms; no cyclones or blizzards; no drought or floods ; no sunstrokes ; no insect pests, grasshoppers, army worms, chinch bugs, etc. 18 SKETCHES OF WASHINGTONIANS. And yet it is not paradise. Drawbacks there are, but they are few in number compared to other sections, and Washington can claim in all truthfulness that the State has the best climate in the United States. Soil. — As is to be expected, there is a great diversity of soil in the state of Washington. That it is a fertile and lasting soil has been proved by the many enormous crops that have been raised both with and without irrigation. The valley lands, marsh, and delta lands bordering Puget Sound are rich and productive. The prairie lands that are found scattered throughout Western Washington are for the greater part loam, with a generous intermixture of sand, which will grow fruit, vegetables, and field crops to perfection. East of the mountains the prevailing soil is deep, loose and of a dark color, containing a considerable amount of volcanic ash, which gives it its forcible character and its great durability. The soil of the timbered parts of Eastern Washington is lighter and sandier. The lighter and sandy soils grow fruits to perfection, while the darker, more volcanic soils are those on which are grown the wonderful grain crops. These references to soil are necessarily incomplete, and much variety may be expected. All the soils of Washington, however, have proved themselves by actual test to be deep, rich and lasting, under either rainfall or irrigation. Government Land and Homestead Reuglations. — Free Govern ment homestead land may still be had in many sections. According to the United States general land office, in the thirty- four counties which the state contains there still remains 18,597,041 acres of vacant land which can be taken up under the various land laws. Of this amount, 5,229,520 acres are surveyed and 13,367,521 acres unsurveyed. The remainder of the land in the state consists of 6,962,736 acres reserved, and 17,187,143 appropriated, making a total area of 42,746,920 acres. Much of the vacant land is as good as the best. Should you desire to purchase what you want nearer to cen ters of population, you can buy lands from $3.00 per acre up, accord ing to the improvements and proximity to cities or towns. There are places where the vacant land is not worth much, but, especially in Eastern Washington, good locations may still be found. Settlers desiring to take up land can get it in all parts of the state. Nothing but a personal investigation and search is of much use. The principal point is that there is vacant homestead land for those who do not object to being some distance from railway and cities. For settlers who can take a little money with them, and who want to buy 19 SKETCHES OF WASHINGTONIANS. land, there is land of all kinds at almost all prices and in all loca tions. There are at present several different modes of acquiring title to Government land, but the most usual one is under the homestead act. In addition to that method, land that will not grow crops with out irrigation can be taken under the desert act ; land that is chiefly valuable for timber or stone, under the timber and stone act; and mineral land, either lodes or placer, under the mineral laws. As parties who take land under the three last-mentioned modes have usuaUy investigated the matter thoroughly, it is deemed unneces sary to discuss them in this article. A person desiring to obtain the benefit of the homestead law should first select the tract he desires to enter by going on the land and inspecting it carefully. Persons living in the vicinity can usu ally inform the newcomer whether or not the land is vacant, or, upon application to the land office, plats showing the vacant lands and other information wanted will be furnished at from $1.00 to $4.00 for each township. After making selection of the land, the person can go to the land office and make entry of not to exceed 160 acres; or, if the distance to the land office is great, can go be fore a commissioner of the United States Court or a clerk of the Superior Court of the county in which the land is situated and exe cute the necessary papers, which will be sent to the land office and the entry made, as well as to go in person. The entryman then is allowed six months to establish a residence on the land. Should the person taking land first establish his residence on the land, he will have a preference right to enter for three months. The fees at the land office to enter 160 acres are $16.00, unless the tract is within the railroad limits — there the fees are $22.50. The United States commissioner or clerk of court charges a small fee in addition. , The entryman is required to reside on the land five years before he can make proof, unless he served in the army, in which case his time of service will be deducted. The fees at the land office at the time of making final proof are between $12.00 and $13.00. Should the entryman desire to obtain title before the end of five years, he can do so at any time after fourteen months from the date of entry by commuting and paying $1.25 an acre for the land. A married man, or a man over twenty-one years of age, can make a homestead entry. An unmarried woman over the age of twenty-one years has also the same right. 20 SKETCHES OF WASHINGTONIANS. Timber and Prairie Land.— Western Washington is a wooded country. Much of the land is covered with a dense growth of the finest trees known in the world. The mainland bordering Puget Sound is made up of mountain spurs, table lands, river valleys and fresh-water and tide-water marshes and deltas. These all, except marsh and delta, are timbered with unbroken forests. The higher altitudes grow fir, hemlock, and spruce. The table lands, fir and spruce, and the valleys, fir, cedar, spruce, cottonwood, maple, and alder. This timber is surpassed in size only by the redwood forests of California. The valley lands bordering the rivers and creeks are very rich and productive, especially in vegetables, fruits and succulent grasses. The forests of these valleys are fast breaking up before the wood man's ax and the farmer's plow. The uplands have been invaded but little, but where the forests are felled rich pasturage follows and in many places great veins of coal are found to underlie the surface or strike into the hillside. Marsh lands and deltas in their native state are overgrown with brush. They are easily cleared and re claimed from overflow by dikes and ditches, when they produce the greatest tonnage of fine hay, the most prolific yield of oats, heavy hops, nice vegetables, and fine orchards. West, north and south of the Olympic Range numerous valleys obtain, all rich in agricultural productiveness. This portion of the state also is covered with unbroken forests of massive timber. Eastern Washington as a whole is the valley of the Columbia River, as most of the surface is drained by this mighty stream, though there is a considerable extent of wooded and partially wood ed country. The great grain fields of the Big Bend district are as level as the prairies of the Middle States. This is true also of the Palouse Country. Around Spokane is a varied country comprising fine prairie land, also an abundance of timber land, especially in the foothills. All this land is wonderfully productive. Whatever a man wants in the way of land he can find and the quality of the soil is good almost everywhere. Rainfall. — Washington is a state of surprising contrasts, and in none more so than in the rainfall. A person who reads of the 100 inches annual rainfall at Neah's Bay is liable to imagine that the en tire Puget Sound is deluged with rain. Nothing could be farther from the truth. The excessive rainfall is confined to that region lying between the Olympic Mountains and the coast. Take the Puget 21 SKETCHES OF WASHINGTONIANS. Sound region and it has no greater rainfall than the states of Iowa or Illinois. There is this noticeable feature, however, the largest amount of rain falls during those months which are the winter months in the Central and Eastern States. Fruits. — To properly describe the fruit-growing industry of Washington would fill a large book. Different parts of the state vary so much in altitude, rainfall, quality of soil, etc., that almost any fruits except the citrus family will thrive and bear bountiful har vests somewhere. To mention the kinds of fruit that do well is al most to name them all. West of the Cascade Mountains and along Puget Sound are grown magnificent specimens of apples, peaches, pears, quinces, plums, cherries, strawberries and all kinds of small fruits and berries. Apples have done wonderfully well on both the uplands and the islands. Frost never injures the fruit or prevents setting. Worm-eaten fruit is almost unknown. Speaking of the cherries grown on Puget Sound, an experienced fruit man says: "There is no better proposition that I know of for a new settler than to plant, say, twenty acres to cherries. The trees grow very fast in this climate. They bear in the second and third years, and in the sixth year he could ship by the carload. Single trees have been known to produce 600 pounds in their sixth year. Last year we planted something like 15,000 cherry trees, and I think more have been planted this year. We are talking about a home cannery, but scarcely raise fruit enough yet to keep one going. Last year a carload of cherries, 2,000 boxes, was sold in Boston for $3,000. At a recent fruit fair held in the counties of Whatcom, Skagit and San Juan, apples and pears seemed to take the lead though there was also a good showing of prunes and plums. The best varieties of prunes were the Bennett, Italian, French Petite, Egan, German and Hungarian, while the best plums were the Yellow Egg, Blue Colum bia and Medium Golden Drop. The Orange quince and Early Craw ford peaches showed a slight superiority over the other varieties, while the Bartlett, Onondaga, Sovereign Congress and B. Easter are the pears which seem to do best in this section. The following were the best among the display of apples : Dawes Seedings, Wolf River, Blue Permain, Maiden Blush, Gravestein, Wealthy, Red Astrakan, English and Red Russett, Rainbow, Yellow Fall, Long Field Winter, Snow, Baldwin, Rhode Island Greening, Sweet Yellow, Canada Reinnette, Siberian Crab and Hyslop Crab, Northern Spy, King of Tompkins, Wagner "Winter, Lord Suffield, Swaar, Golden Russett and Spitzbergen. They were all smooth and 22 SKETCHES OF WASHINGTONIANS. exquisitely flavored. It showed that not only an endless variety but a large quantity of this class of fruit can be grown on the uplands as well as the river bottoms of Western Washington. In Eastern Washington are fine fruit farms and many sections where a great variety of fruit flourishes in perfection. Some of the lands are irrigated, others depend on natural rain fall. It is hard to decide which is the better plan, as the fruit raised by both methods is delicious beyond description. Prune-growing is becoming a great industry. California prunes are conceded to be inferior to the Washington product and many California growers are moving to Washington. A visit to any of the fruit exhibitions that are frequently held in Washington is a revelation to an eastern man. The variety, size, beauty and general high quality of the fruits exhibited are amazing. As to markets, aside from the home demand, British Columbia and Montana take a large quantity. Strawberries and blackberries are shipped as far east as St. Paul and Chicago. Cherries go all the way to New York. A large movement of apples has recently developed and this fruit is in great demand at good prices. Grains. — The wheat, oats and barley of Washington are famous. Nowhere on the continent are there such crops as are grown in this state and nowhere is the grain of finer quality. The Government Census reports show that Washington is the first in line in the production of wheat per acre in the western states with an average of 19.5 bushels to the acre ; Minnesota averages 14.5 bushels ; North Dakota 13.5 bushels, and South Dakota 10.5 bushels per acre. The total wheat yield of Washington for 1905 was 25,096,- 661 bushels, which was sold at 70 cents and higher per bushel. Wash ington was one of the thirteen states in the Union that produced 75 per cent of the total yield of the country in 1900, ranking fourth. Washingon also averages third in income per farm of crops raised, which is easily explained by the excellent climatic and soil condi tions prevailing in this state. Washington also leads the list in the production of oats, the average yield per acre being 48 bushels — about 42 bushels for the next highest state. The crop of the state is estimated at 3,822,528 bushels. In barley this state also heads the list, with an average of 45 bushels, against 23 bushels for California. These figures should prove the greatest inducement to Eastern farmers to locate in this state. Such a thing as a crop failure or de- 23 SKETCHES OF WASHINGTONIANS. struction is unknown, and with the growing trade with the Orient and European ports prices are and will remain always high. The soil of the interior valleys seems to be inexhaustible and with such tillage as is done in the Northwestern states never fails to reward the farmer with crops ranging from 30 to 40 bushels of spring wheat and from 40 to 60 bushels of fall wheat per acre. This will appear incredible to the farmers of Kansas, Nebraska and Iowa, but it is an established fact. Vegetables. — The vegetable that will not reach absolute perfec tion in the wonderful state of Washington has not been discovered. The soil and climate seem to have been created specially for the purposes of raising fine vegetables. Nowhere is such a variety avail able, either in the smallest kitchen garden or in the acre lots of the large grower. A vegetable-grower of the Puget Sound country gives the fol lowing actual figures as to his success with vegetables : One hill of potatoes produced 31% pounds of tubers; 40 tons of carrots were grown on one acre (these sold for an average of about $4 per ton) ; 45 bushels of peas were threshed from % of an acre. He also adds that there are no potato bugs or other bugs that are such a bother to peas. Another farmer writes: "We have been digging potatoes ever since we have been here for our own use, out of a field that had potatoes planted four years ago and the volunteers that have been coming every year. They are as fine potatoes as I ever saw, both in size and quality; they can't be beat." Rutabagas weighing 30 lbs., radishes 4 inches in diameter — solid and sweet to the heart — beets weighing 30 lbs., pumpkins 93 lbs., squash 120 lbs. Stock. — All kinds of stock reach their fullest development in the state of Washington. The climate of the western slope is very similar to that of the English isles, where cattle, horses, sheep, etc., attain a perfection excelled nowhere in the world. It is contended by some that the far-famed roast beef of old England is not now to be compared with the magnificent product of the state of Washing ton. Washington is exempt from the stock diseases common to lower latitudes and to some sections of the East. Horses have great lung power and endurance. Beef is tender and juicy. Mutton is as good as the best. Millions of sheep and beeves have been shipped to eastern markets. Dairying, though a comparatively new business, 24 SKETCHES OF WASHINGTONIANS. has attained great importance, giving employment to many persons. Before long an immense and unlimited demand will come from the Orient and immense quantities of butter, cheese, meats, etc., will be shipped in fast refrigerator ships to Japan, Alaska, China and the isles of the Pacific. Markets. — Markets for the sale of all surplus products of the Pacific Northwest are as good as in any country and in addition, owing to the high quality of the products, great opportunities exist for making special markets at special remunerative prices. Lumber, shingles, potatoes, apples, prunes, strawberries, etc., aU find special markets, in addition to the ordinary markets, because of their su perior quality. The commerce with Japan, China, Russia, Central America, Sandwich Islands, AustraUa, etc., is rapidly increasing and enlarging the markets on every hand and will always create a de mand for the staple products of Washington. Within ten years thousands of ship loads of grain will go over the Pacific to feed the teeming millions of China and Japan, which means nothing but good for this part of the country. Fish, fresh, salt and canned is very abundant and cheap. In many places in Western Washington it can be procured at almost no expense. Groceries and provisions generally average the same prices as in the east. In figuring out the expenses of keeping up a home in Washington the great value of the genial climate must not be forgotten. Expensive foods are not necessary. Fuel is a simple item ; likewise clothing. Life, generally, has fewer wants, and these much easier satisfied than in other states. Puget Sound is salt water. Yet on the islands and along the mainland fresh water is found at a depth of a few feet. Dug or driven wells at small expense furnish abundant supplies of fresh, cool, sweet water. The supply is inexhaustible and unvarying. No one thinks of "dry wells," or "pump frozen up," etc. Such annoy ances are unknown here. Sections Best Adapted to Certain Lines.— It is a hard thing to give advice — so much depends on a man himself. Some people, of contented dispositions, do well almost anywhere ; others would grum ble in Paradise and say it had been misrepresented to them. The man or woman who can not be prosperous, happy and contented in Washington must be indeed hard to suit. Without attempting to give directions that will enable everyone to be contented, a few general remarks may be of some value. 25 SKETCHES OF WASHINGTONIANS. The man who wants a moderate-sized farm on which he can grow wheat, oats, barley, root crops, vegetables, fruits, berries, raise some stock, etc., and who likes a location near the water, should select a place west of the Cascade Mountains, either on the mainland border ing Puget Sound or on the islands. Here he will find, as has already been stated, the finest climate on earth and all the branches of a di versified grain, fruit and stock farm that will prosper wonderfully. The man who wants a large grain farm, where he can make wheat, oats, or barley his mainstay, should select it in the interior valleys of Eastern Washington. Here are vast areas of level land with im mense farms growing enormous crops of grain. There is room for thousands more of such farms. Poor men have grown wealthy on these magnificent plains. The Big Bend, Palouse, and Okanogan counties and the vicinity of Spokane are famous grain regions. On all these plains diversified farming is practiced to a certain extent, but they are best known as the localities of the great grain farms. Any section of Washington is well adapted for fruit-growing. The valleys of the Spokane, Wenatchee and Snake rivers are famous for growing peaches, pears, apricots, cherries, prunes, plums, apples, strawberries, blackberries, grapes and other fruits ; also watermelons and muskmelons and all kinds of early vegetables. In some sec tions irrigation is used, others require only natural rainfall. West ern Washington grows to perfection about the same kinds of fruit and vegetables, and in this section there is almost no irrigation. For the man who does not want to farm, but who seeks lum bering, mining, manufacturing or general business openings, no de tailed information is necessary. He will naturally direct his steps to the larger cities, where he can, in a short time, obtain all the infor mation he can ask. There is room and a welcome for men in any line, or any business. The country needs them, will have them and the fortunate ones who are first on the ground will, in a few years, reap the rich reward of their foresight and good judgment. WASHINGTON LAND VALUES. The value of land is governed by its productive capacity, al though temporary conditions may affect its selling price. For pur poses of illustration, the best farm land in Iowa, North Dakota, Nebraska and Minnesota sells for $50 to $125 per acre. In Wash ington better land can be purchased for $10 to $40 per acre, because there is not enough people in the country to cultivate it. A glance at the following table of statistics, compiled from the United States Agricultural Year Book, as a test of value shows that an average 26 SKETCHES OF WASHINGTONIANS. acre in Washington is worth more than an average acre in either of the above named states : Iowa. N. Dak. Neb. Minn. Wash. Wheat $7.69 $8.00 $8.47 $9.04 $14.04 Oats 6.96 8.49 7.97 9.69 18.20 Barley 8.42 7.78 8.78 9.36 18.95 Rye 7.44 6.75 5.25 8.28 15.12 Hay 9.72 5.48 7.53 12.16 30.78 Potatoes 42.00 40.32 41.60 39.04 52.50 THE LUMBER INDUSTRY. The greatest industry of Western Washington is the manufac ture of lumber and shingles. There are in the state about nine hun dred sawmills and shingle mills with a capacity of 26,000,000 feet of lumber and 42,000,000 shingles, together with about 300 logging and bolt camps and a large number of planing mills and other wood working establishments. These mills, camps, and factories give em ployment to more than 30,000 men. The annual pay-roll amounts to nearly $20,000,000.00, and the value of the products to $35,000,000.00 annually.

The combined water and rail ship ments for the same year amounted to 1,922,313,032 feet of lumber; 5,997,760,000 shingles and 171,129,305 lath. 27 SKETCHES OF WASHINGTONIANS. Tacoma stands in the first place in the output of lumber with a record of 332,875,000 feet for the year. Aberdeen was second with 262,173,413 and BelUngham was the only other city cutting over 200,000,000, her exact figures being 216,404,350. Everett's produc tion was 147,770,000 feet of lumber and 549,803,000 shingles, the out put of fourteen mills. STANDING TIMBER OF WASHINGTON. The amount of standing timber in the State of Washington, ac cording to the latest government reports, distributed according to the kinds of timber, is as follows : Species— Feet, B. M. Red fir 90,593,000,000 Hemlock 40,571,000,000 Cedar 22,646,000,000 Yellow pine 13,082,000,000 Amabalis fir 8,788,000,000 Spruce 8,221,000,000 Larch 4,776,000,000 White fir 1,780,000,000 Other species 4,780,000,000 Total 195,237,000,000 PUGET SOUND AS A SHIPPING CENTER. Before another year has passed Puget Sound will have over taken the port of Boston in importance in that particular depart ment, which is under the supervision of the United States Shipping Commissioners. As the records of seamen shipped and discharged at the various ports follow the trend of commerce and indicate to no uncertain extent the nature of the activity in this respect, the figures quoted herewith will show conclusively Puget Sound's claim to recognition as one of the leading districts of the nation. The blue book of 1903-04 shows Puget Sound in sixth place among the districts of the nation. The 1904-05 record noted the advance of the district to fourth position, the districts passed being New Orleans and Philadelphia, with only New York, San Francisco and Boston leading. The blue book for the year 1905-06 has not yet been issued, but advance reports just received by the United States Shipping Commissioner indicate that Puget Sound will occupy third 28 SKETCHES OF WASHINGTONIANS. position. The table herewith shows the situation for the last three years, only the five leading ports being noted : 1903-04 1904-05 1905-06 New York 91,461 106,832 120,127 San Francisco 36,917 35,905 32,067 Boston 14,317 16,593 15,074 Puget Sound 9,931 12,353 14,339 Philadelphia 11,611 11,404 12,088 The exports from Puget Sound for 1905 were $56,000,000, and its imports $10,600,000, making a total foreign commerce of $66,600,- 000. The Great Northern freighters, Minnesota and Dakota, have a carrying capacity of 28,000 tons each. COAL MINING. Coal mining is one of the leading industries of the State of Washington, and particularly of King county. The following figures, taken from the report of the State Inspector of Coal Mines, for the years 1901 to 1904, show the development of the industry and the number of tons produced during those years : Output By Counties. 1901. 1902. 1903. 1904.

The average price of coal at tide water is about $3.00 per ton, and coke is sold at from $5.00 to $6.00 per ton. The market value of the product, therefore, is about $9,000,000 per year. The coal fields of Washington cover an area of several thousand square miles. All of the large mines, except those of the Roslyn district in Kittitas county, are located within fifty miles of Seattle, while the Roslyn district is distant less than 100 miles in a direct line. The deposits of coal are practically inexhaustible and the quality is of the best for manufacturing, steam and domestic use. 29 SKETCHES OF WASHINGTONIANS. THE FISHING INDUSTRY. The fisheries of Puget Sound have assumed vast proportions, and may well be accounted as one of our leading industries. The average number of men employed is about 5,000 and their earnmgs $1,500,000 annually. The output of the Puget Sound canneries runs from $5,000,000 to $8,000,000 per annum, according to the run of salmon. In addition to the Puget Sound fisheries, Seattle is the head quarters and base of supplies of a large number of the leading com panies engaged in the salmon packing industry of Alaska and other points. The value of the canned salmon put up by these companies is approximately $20,000,000 each year. The State of Washington has established a number of hatcheries for the propagation of the salmon. The result of the work is already noticeable in the great increase in the run of salmon during the past two years.In addition to the salmon, the fisheries produce large quantities of halibut, cod, smelt, herring, oysters, clams, crabs and other salt water fish. The cod fisheries of Bering Sea are growing in import ance yearly, and their product is cured and marketed here. The product of the sealing and whaling companies also add largely to the value of this industry. Altogether, the fisheries may well be considered among our greatest sources of wealth.

Statistics of the wealth of the nation, gathered by special agents, have been compiled by the Census Bureau, and the resulting bulletin, which will soon be issued in complete form, shows the estimated true value of aU property in Washington state in the year 1904 to have been $1,051,- 671,432. The last compilation, made in 1900, placed the total wealth of the state as $781,599,063, so it will be seen that there has been a gain of 34.5 per cent in the four years, a showing equaled by only a few of the older states of the East. Incidentally, Washington ad vanced from twenty-fifth to twenty-fourth in the list of states in point of wealth. Details in Bulletin. The Census Bureau will, in its completed bulletin, carry an analysis of the figures presented in the tables, which will show that the large percentage of increase in the wealth of Washington state is due to the development of the natural resources, the increase in the manufactures, and the development of railroad and electric light and power, together with the increase in the value of real property caused by the influx of homemakers. 32 SKETCHES OF WASHINGTONIANS.

He organized the American Savings Bank & Trust Co., which he opened for busi ness March 1, 1902, having associated with the institution men whose finan cial standing assured its future. So rapidly did the business of this bank grow that he soon found the meagre quarters occupied were inadequate, and seeing the great future of his institu tion, determined to acquire a site and erect a building which would be its permanent home and a monument for all time. With this idea in view, he purchased for the bank the southeast corner of Second Ave. and Madison St., in the very heart of the city, and be gan the erection of that magnificent 12-story reinforced concrete building now nearing completion. The banking- room and safe deposit vaults, now fin ished, have no equal on the Pacific Coast, and few superior in the whole country. The company does a general banking and trust business, and so popular has the bank become that its depositors number nearly 15,000 and 174 its deposits exceed $2,500,000 in the short period in which it has done busi ness. The capital stock which was originally $25,000 has been increased to $200,000, and the surplus exceeds an additional $100,000, while the com pany's holding in real estate has more than doubled in value since acquiring. Such a showing certainly speaks words of congratulation for Mr. Gleason in the foresight and sagacity he has shown in the handling and managing of this institution, and assures a grand future success for this banking house which receives his most careful atten tion.

When the first legislature of Washington Territory assembled in 1854, Isaac Ingalls Stevens, the governor, spoke most forcibly in his message in favor of a public school system and closed his remarks on this point with the following words : "I will also recommend that Congress be memorialized for the grant of two townships of land, the amount previously given to Oregon for the same purpose." Within the short space of four months Congress complied with this request. On January 29, 1855, just six months from the date of the Uni versity land grant, the legislature enacted that the Territorial Uni versity of Washington should comprise two equal institutions, one at Seattle and the other on Boisford Plains in Lewis County. The granted lands were to be divided equally between the two institu tions. The county commissioners who were directed to select the granted lands, failed in their duty, and in 1858 the legislature united the two universities. Cowlitz Farm Prairie, in Lewis County, was chosen as the new site, and another enactment was passed for the selection of all the granted lands. This shifting and fruitless policy in locating the Territorial Uni versity led the pioneers of the Puget Sound region to secure an en actment incorporating another institution to be called the "Puget Sound University." The possibility of thus duplicating educational institutions resulted in bringing matters to a definite conclusion, and in January, 1861, the legislature relocated the Territorial University at Seattle. A board of University Commissioners, consisting of Eev. Daniel Bagley, John Webster and Edmund Carr, all of Seattle, was immediately appointed to select the granted lands, to sell them for not less than $1.50 an acre, and to build the University within one year. This board met on Washington's birthday, 1861, and organ ized for work. The land was cleared, the cornerstone of the main building was laid on May 21, 1861, and the building completed within the specified year. In the autumn of 1862 the other buildings were constructed, and during the winter the University of Washington was opened.The legislature in relocating the University in Seattle had stip ulated that a suitable site of at least ten acres be donated by the people of Seattle. The site was selected and the major portion of it donated by Hon. Arthur A. Denny from his farm. The other por- 309 SKETCHES OF WASHINGTONIANS. tion of the site was given by Charles C. Terry and Edward Lander. A few large maple trees were left on the grounds, but all the other trees were cleared off. The ground was plowed and harrowed, and the Rev. Daniel Bagley sowed the whole tract with grass seed he had brought from Oregon the year before. For several years the work of the University did not rank much above that of an academy. The first class to be graduated was dur ing the second administration of Dr. George F. Whitworth in 1876. This class consisted of one young lady, Miss Clara McCarty, now Mrs. Wilt, of Tacoma, who was graduated with the degree of bach elor of science. The honor of having first organized the University on real college lines belongs to the seventh president, Dr. A. J. Anderson. The total number of graduates up to date is seven hundred twenty-four. Records of the students in the earlier years were not preserved, but it is estimated that the number of those who have attended the University from its organization to the present time is over 6,000. The building erected in 1861 was the finest educational struc ture at the time in the Pacific Northwest. It was the only building belonging to the institution except the president's cottage and two rather inferior dormitories. All were frame buildings. The money for their construction was obtained from the sale of the University lands. The territorial government paid out no money for the Uni versity's maintenance until 1879. Then the amount given was very small and was to apply on tuition fees of "free" scholars .to be appointed by the governor, judges and members of the legislature. Throughout the territorial period, from 1862 to 1889, the total sum appropriated by the territory for the University was only $34,350. During the later years of the territorial period and the first years of statehood, the old quarters of the University became very crowded. In 1893 the state legislature provided a new site and suffi cient money to build structures of permanent character and adequate to the needs of a growing institution. On September 4, 1895, the in stitution moved into the new buildings and since then the progress of the University has kept pace with the rapid development of the commonwealth. Environs. The University is surrounded by many things of great educa tional value to the students and which are freely drawn upon in 310 SKETCHES OF WASHINGTONIANS. much of the instructional work. Seattle is a large and active city and affords to students the great advantages of a metropolis. Its excellent library may be used by every student, and its parks, pub lic schools and churches all have a wholesome influence upon Univer sity life. The State legislature in 1895 enacted a strict law prohibiting the sale of all intoxicating liquors within a radius of two miles of the new University grounds. This insures a College neighborhood entirely free from the evils of the saloon. Government. Under the constitution and laws of the State of Washington, the government of the University is vested in a Board of Regents consisting of seven members appointed by the governor of the state by and with the advice and consent of the senate. Each regent is appointed for a term of six years. The Code of Public Instruction also provides that the immediate government of the institution shall be in the hands of the faculty, consisting of the president and pro fessors, under such rules as the Board of Regents may provide. Endowment and Support. The University derives its support entirely from the state. There is no income from tuition fees, as instruction in all the depart ments of the University, except the School of Law, is free, and as yet the lands granted the institution as an endowment yield no revenue. The income from these lands will some day greatly help to support the University. The two townships of land granted by Congress in 1854 were nearly all selected and sold in 1860 and 1861 to build and establish the Territorial University. There remains of this old grant some three thousand acres, part of which is not yet selected. Besides this land, the University owns three hundred twenty acres near the city of Tacoma, acquired by purchase about 1862, and the old site of nine acres in the central part of the city of Seattle. Both of these last named parcels of land are sure to become good revenue producing properties. The old site has been leased for a period of fifty years. In addition to the above mentioned property the University was further endowed by the state on March 14, 1893, by the segregation of certain granted lands. Section 9 of the law approved on that day provides — "That 100,000 acres of the lands granted by section 17 of the 311 SKETCHES OF WASHINGTONIANS. enabling act, approved February 22, 1889, for state charitable, edu cational, penal and reformatory institutions are hereby assigned for the support of the University of Washington. ' ' The legislature of 1903 instructed the state land commissioner to select these lands. They have been selected and the records have been duly filed. Bequests. Prior to the session of the State legislature in 1897 it was prac tically impossible to expect any gratuities or bequests, as such gifts would immediately go into the treasury of the state, and become unavailable except upon appropriation by the legislature. But in the session of 1897 the Code of Public Instruction was enacted, and section 186, chapter 1, title IV., of that Code made the following provision for University bequests : "The Board of Regents is authorized to receive such bequests or gratuities as may be granted to said University, and to invest or expend the same according to the terms of said bequests or gratu ities. The said board shall adopt proper rules to govern and protect the receipt and expenditure of the proceeds of all fees, bequests, or gratuities, and shall make full report of the same in the customary biennial report to the governor, or more frequently if required by law." It is hoped that this provision will result before long in the erection of a number of memorial buildings and the establishment of memorial scholarships and professorships. Grounds. The new grounds are ample to meet every need of the Univer sity. There are three hundred fifty-five acres, all within the city limits of Seattle. The site lies between Lakes Union and Washing ton. It has a shore line of over one mile on Lake Washington and about a quarter of a mile on Lake Union. To the southern, or Lake Union side, the land slopes gently from the highest point in the northwestern corner, which is about two hundred twenty-five feet above tide level. Toward the eastern, or Lake Washington side, the land is level for more than half its width, when it breaks off in a series of benches, terraces and ravines. The Board of Regents has adopted a plan that will not only give the best arrangement for new buildings, but will largely deter mine all future improvement of the grounds. This plan is a modi- 312 SKETCHES OF WASHINGTONIANS. fieation of the usual college quadrangle. In this case it will be an oval, whose major axis is twelve hundred feet long and whose minor axis is six hundred fifty feet long. Buildings. The Administration Building is a commodious structure in the style of the French Renaissance. It is constructed of cream colored pressed brick and sandstone with trimmings of terra cotta. It is three stories in height with a finished basement. Besides labora tories and recitation rooms it contains the administration offices, the assembly hall, and the library. Science Hall is made of red pressed brick with sandstone trim mings. It is three stories in height, with additional space in base ment and attic. The large wing in the rear of the main building contains the collections of the State Museum. The Power House and Machine Shop is made of red pressed brick and is two stories in height. The Observatory is constructed wholly of sandstone. It occu pies the highest point of ground northwest from the administration building. The Gymnasium Building is constructed of wood and contains two main halls, one for men and one for women. The men's hall has a floor space one hundred and twenty feet in length and eighty feet in width; the women's hall has a floor space eighty feet long and fifty feet wide. Each hall is bordered by offices, dressing rooms and bath rooms. The dormitories, one for men and one for women, are made of brick and are so placed that they overlook Lake Washington. Each dormitory accommodates sixty students. Several temporary wooden buildings have been erected upon the grounds for use until permanent structures can be provided. In these buildings some of the work in mining engineering and chem istry is now done. THE UNIVERSITY LIBRARY. Staff. HARRY CANBY COFFMAN, A. B Librarian CHARLES WESLEY SMITH, A. B., B. L. S Asst.

The library is being catalogued as rapidly as possible and the Dewey decimal system of classification is used. THE UNIVERSITY LABORATORIES. WeH appointed laboratories are as essential to the modern college and university as books and lectures. The University of Washington has the following laboratories fully equipped for work in the various departments: Chemistry and Pharmacy. The laboratories devoted to the departments of chemistry and pharmacy are capable of accommodating two hundred and twenty students working at one time. They consist of four laboratories, a stock room, a weighing room and two private laboratories, situated in the Administration building ; two laboratories, two balance rooms, two private laboratories and a stock room situated in a temporary building near the Administration building. The laboratories are adequately equipped with water, gas, electric lights, electrical cur rent for experimental purposes, as well as with excellent desks and permanent apparatus. The stock rooms contain supplies for four hundred students. Everything essential to the work of the department, covering about five years' work in chemistry, is included. The stock rooms are in charge of assistants and at certain hours students are permitted to borrow all needed apparatus which may be returned without charge if in good condition. A temporary laboratory, a one-story frame structure, one hun dred fifteen by sixty-five feet, designed to meet the immediate needs of the department of chemistry, was erected during the summer of 1905. It contains accommodations for about one hundred forty students (working at one time) and is well equipped to meet its present purpose. 314 SKETCHES OF WASHINGTONIANS.
