In an interview with a Seattle |

‘‘Valdez is getting her share of
the trade that goes to Alaska, both
on the coast and the interior, and
she is-one of the best towns in that
section of the country.”
This is the statement made yes
terday by E. \V Adams, formerly
of the Valdez Bank & Mercantile',
company, of Valdez, and who states
that he lias decided to cast his lot j
among the people of Seattle and
will soon enter the real estate busi-,
ness in this city. His family will
arrive here shortly.
Mr. Adams declares that Valdez
is doing more business than she
has done for years and that the
increased business to the northern
cities is having its beneficial effect
on that town. Many of the cop
per propositions which have been
overlooked in the southeastern part
of the county on account of the
great gold findings, have at last j
been taken up and the result is
that that section of the country is,
prospering and has good promises
for the future.
