This is tho way the Tacoma CORE
spondent OF the Yakima Record puts II
up: Tacoma, Seattle and the Sound gen
orally are growing rapidly: The ques.
tIOn OF where the terminus Ii TO be, still
aRitates some minds, but our judgment
is that the whole Of the Sound will be
ono grand terminus, whore the busiest
system Of cities, towns and villages in
tho United States will spring up, and all
grow and prosper in the sunlight Of the
inexhaustible resources contiguous to
this great inland sea. The improve
ments going ON at this place arc much
loss Substantial than those at Seattle.
In the last-named place, among the
buildings erected and in process Of con
struction, may be named the one being
built by John Collins d Co., at cost of
$4,000, TO take the place of tho Occi-
dental Hotel. In Seattle one can hear
much said about the Yakima country
and the Oregon Short Limo.
