A Seattle flood washout led to the debut of Emylia Vernet Berryman, a 1217 Jackson St. resident, at the Grand Opera house. The first-time singer delivered a winning soprano, drawing warm audience response and encores, replacing a delayed professional.
A quirky collection of vintage kitchen notes covering snacks and baked goods. It includes steps to wrap oysters in bacon with toothpicks and fry until crisp, soft molasses cookies with a rich spice blend, a cream sponge cake with careful flour choice, and a French salad dressing recipe with mustard, vinegar, cream, and a whipped egg white for body.
A reader column offers medical advice from a Seattle physician and answers on everyday topics. Included are letters about marriage legality with nieces, wedding attire, social life, fruitless confessions, house odors, vinegar pie recipe, and other home questions with practical, era-appropriate guidance.

A Seattle demonstration promotes a Stump-Puller to clear cut-over lands in Washington Oregon and Idaho. The ad claims the machine clears stumps and roots for 125 to 400 dollars per machine with minimal labor, promising profits of 50 dollars per day per unit and high dividend potential on stock offered at 50 cents.
Inventors and mechanics behind the American Stamp-Puller organize to distribute stock widely. Minimum 100 shares at 50 cents, up to 3,000 shares. Payment plans include one quarter now and balance in 30, 60, and 90 days. Price rises to 1.00 per share on November 25.
A Seattle firm Smith Cannery Machines Company on First Avenue South makes the Iron Chink canning machine protected by patent. The stock, once 50 cents, has paid 100 percent in three years and risen to $2 or more, delivering investors strong dividends and fourfold profits.
The American Machine Works plant at 2012 Fifteenth Avenue West is now equipped to produce one stump-puller daily. Demand far exceeds this, with orders coming in at four times the current capacity. The Northwest could absorb five to ten stump-pullers daily, constrained only by capital.
The present plant must be enlarged and equipped to secure lowest prices and sustain output. The company should have capital to enable it to sell Scamp-Fallese on reasonable terms to buyers who cannot pay the full purchase price at one time.
