Writ Into the Sort and Helped Snve

the Lire* of ISO People From

Vessels Stranded and Going to

Pieces?Xavy Department Advised

WASHINGTON. Nov. IS.-The navy de-partment has given out an account ofthe conspicuous gallantry of Ensign W.R. Gherardi in the recent hurricane whichswept across Porto Rico. It was for-warded by Capt. Snow, commanding theUnited States naval station in San Juan,who inclosed letters of Lieut. Col. Carr.of the Fifth cavalry, and others concern-ing the daring exploit.

The statement forwarded to the depart-ment shows that when the storm was atits height Ensign Gherardi and H. J.Jimines. a civil engineer, ran along thebeach to the point where the shippingwas dragging their anchors through theterrific fores of the wind. The schoonerConception, loaded with 150 emigrantsfrom Santo Domingo, and the steamerVlsasco were in great distress. Someof ths passengers were Jumping over-board. The statement goes on as fol-io ws:

"Gherardi at once plunged Into thewater with his clothes on and began drag-gin* the unfortunates from the wavesand bringing them to the shore. Meordered those on board to throw a lifeline to the shore so as to make fast, butthey were so terrorized that they wereunable to do anything but jump into thewater, where they were taken out andbrought to shore. There were from fourto six people, women and children, whodid not dare to jump into the water.They were told to do so, but remainedwhere they were and were undoubtedlylost, as the schooner soon went to pieces.

"The rescued numbered nearly 150

souls. The steamer Visasco was thenbattling with the waves a few hundredyards off. Ghetardi called for a life line,and. forming a party of rescuers in aline, joining hands, extending out intothe water, himself at the head. he soon

had hold of the line, and, bringing it tothe shore, fastened the end securely to aneighboring tree The crew climbeddown and along the line and were safe'.ylanded."

Ensign Gherardi is a son of Rear Ad-miral Gherardi, retired.

Seattle A International RailroadShows a Remarkable Business.

The Seattle & International railway onMonday last inaugurated a daily passengerservice on the Snoqualmle branch, which Ubut one of the many improvements thathave been made ou the service between

As one item the road han-dled over 800 cars of lumber and s»hinglesfrom the various mills along itt line.- luringla&t October. Add to this the haul of logsto the miiis, the fconue.i freight of the Cana-dian Pacific, ard a large amount of localcommodity freight, and a record U ob-tained not surpassed by any short line inany part of the United States. Severalnew mill sites have also been locate 1 on theline during the past summer, which in-sures an increased business for the future.

The road is doing much at this season,and has been for the past several months,in settling up Snohomish, Skagit and What-com counties. In close proximity to theline are some of the most fertile valleys inthe West, well shaded by the mountain*and capable of producing any agriculturalor horticultural products grown on theCoast. There is yet a large amount of thisland Idle and awaiting settlement. Duringthe past summer upwards of fifty farmershave been located, and arrangements havebeen made for a large number more, short-ly to arrive from the East. Many of thoserecently located are preparing to engageIn the dairy business, arid large shipmentsof cows are expected in the spring. Thefoothill.* are particularly adapted for graz-ing. and at the present price of dairyproduct* the industry promises to be animposing one.

The rich timber lards along theway are fast being taker, up and the num-ber of mills is gradually being increased.

BIG REAL ESTATE SALE !OF INTEREST TO HOME-BUILDO&

For mutual convenience between the public and ~mrfinwe here reply to certain inquiries that have recentlying in upon us ?the answering of which, individuallybeen no small task?and to also make an announcement, thou*somewhat prematurely, which we had intended to defei^lfully prepared to do so. But notwithstanding our purrx** *

keep the matter quiet, the matter has "gone the rounds. n £seems the story is out to the effect that we had purchased ?»

a ridiculously low figure, the interests of the Broadwayment Company in Highlands and in the Pontius Additionconsisting of some two hundred lots. As stories go, this oai^in the main correct. However, some correction in detail i*

j *9 re-quired.

The facts are these: We are not the purchasers, but wa didnegotiate the sale for a syndicate represented bv a promineatSeattle banker, and the number of lots in question is leas thanone hundred and fifty. While not the new owners, we harebeen constituted the managers of this property with full author-ity. It is true t.he purchase price is remarkably low?wealdhave been considered low in depression times. Perhaps it »

this feature of the sale, coupled with the desirable quality ofthe property that has caused so many home-builders and othersinterested in real estate investments to voluntarily place them-selves 011 the "waiting list** with the prospects of securing areally good thing at bottom figures. In this anticipation thereis to be no disappointment. Our regret at this time is that weare not just ready to give the purchasing public an opportunityto buy, but the delay will be of short duration.

The past two weeks we have been unceasingly pushing for-ward a project to improve Eleventh Avenue through the Pon-tius Addition at our own expense, by grading and laying oenientsidewalks. The authority for this work has been granted bvthe City Council. The work will be done under the supervisioiof the City Engineer, who is now preparing plains and specifica-tions, and we shall very soon have the work under wav, unlessthe contractors are too unreasonable in their proposals. Thework is to be first-class, and when completed, will present i

beautiful avenue unexcelled anywhere in the city. Shade tratwill be set uniformly in the parking area. A number olhouses, which we have arranged for the construction of, front-ing this avenue, will be of attractive and "homey" design. Thi»cannot all be accomplished in a day, but the result, we are sure,will prove the prediction that every purchaser will be fully sat-isfied, and in the years to come, few "For Sale?lnquiwWithin" signs, indicating disappointed home-builders, will de-face that portion of Eleventh Avenue North.

The following statements are to cover in a generalway the questions we have been answering, and also in antici-pation of those that may be asked:

FIRST. ?As the scheduling of prices is not yet oomplete, vtare not at this date prepared to quote prices.

%SECOXD. ?Xo reservations will be made in advance of the

day of beginning of the sale. When the schedule is complete,due publication will be made and the property offered for sale.

THIRD.?The whole district has been recently sewered andall street improvements are fully paid, as well as will be theproposed improvem#ut of Eleventh Avenue North. Purchaserswill thus know what their lot is to cost, and have no stringaon it

FOURTH. ?Everv purchaser will be given a complete ab-et ract. To this will he attached an opinion of title by the lawfirm of Struve, Allen, Hughes & MeMi('ken, showing that thititle is good and the property free from all incumbrances, taxetand liens, thus saving to tho buyer the usual eapenae of exam-ination of title.

Fl^Til.?We will sell on email cash payments and loaftime and at low rate of interest. Bona fide home-buildw c*a

buy without cash, if building ic done forthwith.
