Passenger arrivals by steamers on
Puget Sound 0utnumber departures ny
two TO one. ~ will DO seen IN the official
table elsewhere appearing. Arrivals over
land exceed the departures IN like rates.
II ia safe estimate that IN average of
ono thousand persons per month have
come TO Puget Sound during the last
year, and that not to exceed five hundred
Der month have gone away-this includ-
Inc actual gains and losses only, and
not movements to and fro OF our own
people. An absolute gain OF ak thousand
residents in this section III single year,
and of ak thousand Observation-Disclosures
thousand in the whole Territory-is a
greater growth thanwe have heretofore
enjoyed.
The business Of the Telegraph Com
pany has greatly increased OF late. at
this point. The force now consists OF
two operators, a messenger and q line
ropairer, and in a few days is to be in
creased by the addition Of another man.
The force will then be quite sufficient.
but the equipment will not be until an
other line Is stretched from here to
Portland. How different the condition
Of affairs now from that OF few years |
aUo. Then the Puget Sound and Brit |
ish Columbia business WAS very un-
profitable. The Company gave mp that |
In British Columbia. and would also |
have given that mp here had they not |
been guaranteed certain amount of |
trade by opr citizens. Merchants and |
others were called upon for subscrip- |
lions, intended 10 reach an amount |
great enough to warrant keeping up the |
system. Now the Puget Sound branch |
pays handsomely.
