late 1890’s and the early 1900’s.
He stated that the ‘fever’ got
most of his Seattle friends when
he was too young to take ad
vantage of the opportunity. But

given to Seattle by the Alaska gold
rush and that at one time dur
ing the depression, a shipment of
gold from Alaska put Seattle back
on a “cash basis” after having
used “scrip” for money and cred

that he expected some of them to
return some day to take part in
the development of the territory.
The advancement, he said, was not

build Seattle beyond all hopes.
