The great rush for lots In this aSldi-
ton Is unprecedented. Over fiftv of
them sold In the last four weeks. They
are one mile east from the postofiice, on
the shortest and most direct route 10
Lake Washington. Mill street extends
through the addition. The lots are
small farms by themselves, being 6Oxl3S
feet In size. They are situated on
high plateau. overlooking tho bay. and
IN the near future viii undoubtedly be
right IN the heart Of the Queen CITY
OF the Pacific coast. These lots are
not offered for sale to spectators for
cash. The plan ID to give every man,
no matter what his financial circum-
stances, q chance TO secure q lot or
a block OF land, that a. ''time rolls
round he will have reason to rejoace
instead OF weep over his purchase. II
he Il Spectator and pays cash down
for his purchase, We bind him 70 clear
and fence his lot or lots within q year.
II he il a poor man, desirous Of secur-
ing homo and saving rent, We give
him a years chance for his life, and IL
he behaves himself we'll, makes a good
neighbOr, and especially If he clears
and improves his lot nicely, we give
him better chance. We prefer selling
lots to this class of people on easy
terms, than to receive all cash in
hand. Our object is to Increase and
multiply homes and Improvements,
that our census returns may show a
population of 10000 in 1884, 10000 in
1oSS, 10000 in 1892, and 10000 in 1896,
with corresponding wealth. There are
abundant resources in the lakes and
rivers, the hills and mountains, the
plains and valleys behind us, and the
broad Pacific before Us, to warrant this
happy state of affairs, and they will DO
properly utilized to this end BY our
wide-awake citizens, and don't you for
get 1t. 1T you do, you may lose the
chance to secure one of the finest,
largest and cheapest lots in the city.
Price 500 each for inside lots; $50
for corners. with $25 off for one corner
and two inside lots adjoining. Apply to
N. s. Booth. first door west of the post
office, Seattle, Wash. Ter. Dec4 81.
up. S.-No matter how sleepy q man
is when he comes to Seattle, within if
teen minutes to as many days, accord
ing to his intuition, he wakes up to the
truth of the situation, is seized with
that impulse which animates the masses,
and the next arrival cannet tell him
from one of the "Old settlers" 60 enthu.
Slastlc IS he over our vast resources, our
central position and the certain great
ness of our city. His first move is to
purchase real estate; and history re-
cords the fact that the sooner he wakes |
up and makes his purchase, the happier |
he is; as every day adds to his wealth. |
Ask any man you meet in Seattle il this |
is not true"
Extract from Mr.. Booths great
speech to the tall frs in the Snoqualmie

RE state. Attorney and ETl. Axe.

As considerable inquiry has been made Of
the States Attorney as to the true meaning
Of the reference b him and his axe in the
last Issue If the BEACON, he has furnished
the following statement and reply which we
take pleasure in publishing:
"Our States Attorney" arose early on
the morning in question and upon going out
found the ground frozen and also encoun-
tered frost and ice. Rejecting that he had
used up all the small pieces &c wood at his
Office, he took his axe, went to his Office and
split some large pieces 50 that he might lie
comfortable for the day Ca his way, he
found your Town Correspondent 'nut To
meet the armed man. snuffing the breeze
and sccnting the Town Locals "afar off -
neither was he disposed to turn back from
the axe. In a very short time your Town
Correspondent was seized with violent at
tack ut the "CacOethes scribendi' and wrote
up the States Attnr ley ard his axe as ap-
peared IN the last BEACON Now il was not
Stewart Ak" but Hammett Axe. and
whilst the Stewart Ak" NAV possibly be
spelled FAX" the Hammett Axe should
always be spelled. Axe. Il was not an axe
10 be used for the purpose Of intimidating
persons, but The axe (which follows the
things which materially add to the CON-
fort Of man. In short,
II was neither the hattie axe Of Freedom,
Nor the battle axe If War,
But the BATTERED axe Of tho wOnd-pile,
Which we have all heard Of before.
"And now since the ACTS Of the State
Attorney can he fully understood. and since
your Town Correspondent has drawn Sc
hugely upon his Imagination for his FACTS
il is hut meet that he should be AxED out oI
that Town Local with which he did ''Ax''
the BEACON and the public last week"
