In 1903, in company with a num- ber of the leading business men of the city, organized The Trustee Company of Seattle for the purpose of erecting business buildings and selling Unit Bonds Issued thereon. That company erected the Cen- tral Building and several buildings in the wholesale district. The plana of the company were pro- nounced everywhere to be sound and meritorious, and have fully pro- tected the investors In its Unit Bonds, but, owing to the panic of 1907, the unfavorable security market and the heavy shrinkage in values and rentals ever since 1907, the business has not been a financial success for its stock hold PUBLIC CAREER In State and National politics, al ways a Republican of the progres sive type and now, a Progressive.

As soon as travel was possible upon the river ice, he left the steamer in winter quarters, In charge of her officers, and made the trip to the coast by dog team, arriving In Seattle the followl April, a month after his term of fice had expired.
