STRIKE BRINGS ON FREIGHT BAN Seamen on Atlantic Flock to Farms for Jobs NEW YORK, July 19.—A freight embargo Ras been declared on coast- wise cargoes as the result of the strike along the Atlantic coast and in Gulf ports of seamen and engi- neers.

Brown, secretary of the Seamen's union. Hundreds 6f sailors flocking inland to the farms, where they are obtaining employment at $5 and $6 a day, with board and bed.

But if you're going to hit me, throw the book, your honor; throw the book!" The court didn't exactly “throw the book,” which is another name for a six months’ sentence, but he did give jHayden 60 days. ‘Methodist Meeting Was Great Success Dr. J. B.

Starts Real Estate Agency to Repre sent Buyer Only J. V. Holton, at 220 Marion st. has established a real estate buying agency, He is one of Seattle's prom- inent real estate men. Mr. Holton said this system is working satisfac- tortly in other cities. “I represent the purchaser of real estate only,” said Mr. Holton, “and have nothing to sell but my services. In buying through my firm, you tell us what you want and the district you want it in. We have agreements with real estate agents whereby they will show their property to our buy- ers. If a sale is made, the seller pays the agent a commissign, and the agent divides the commission with us, “You may want to know what ad- vantage it is to you to purchase through us. First, you do not have to take the time to look up the property. Secondly, we, being famil- jar with properties all over the city, can give you an opinion as to the valué. Third, if you desire, we will prepare all papers, examine all ab- stracts, close all deals and obtain the property for you without cost to you.” Tells Mother How His Comrade Died J. Sandstrom has fulfilled his prom- ise to a dying comrade on the bat- tlefield in France. He has told Mrs. A.

Addition in West Seattle Mr. Macfarlane has seen the rapid strides which Seattle has made dur- ing the last 20 years, and if you live here very long you will see it grow more, Mr. Macfarlane said: “If you stop, reason and think, you will make your start for your home. Why? Because property in and near Seattle is bound to increase in value; it can not be otherwise. In 1900 the population of Seattle was 80,671, and in ten years the city increased its population to 237,194, and by the year 1915 the population ws 330,834; and now a conservative estimate places the population: at 425,000. Think of this increase, and what does it mean? Simply this—Seattle is destined to be one of the great world ports, and what does that mean? Simply this—that every foot of land for miles around will increase in value. “I have the utmost faith in the future of this great city; we are on the map to stay. Some can possibly see a’ brightér future than others; | some never see a bright future to| anything, are not now seeing a bright future, and never will see a} bright future, They belong to the} class who ‘hain't going to do nothing for nobody who hain’t did something for them,’" Mr. Macfarlane has offices in the Leary buildin, IN NEVADA CITY, Cal., July 19.—A man stumbling headlong down stairs struck William Bluett, who was passing on the sidewalk, The falling man suffered a few bruises, but Blu- ett died of a broken back after the lision, SMOKE THIEVES ROB | ANOTHER SHOP HERE| Tobacco thieves continued thats depredations Friday, _—entering| Rhodes Thiensteinson’s store, 1645 Harbor ave, and stealing a large quantity of cigarets, gum and candy.
