SE4TTLFs BRIGHT PRosPEcr.- Never
it may lruihfnily be said, have the pros
pects OF Seattle looked brighter than at
present. It Is no wouder that those
who are interested in the growth and de-
veioPnent Of the city feel moro than en-
couraged ard that they are looking for
ward to an increase Of population dur
Iog the coming spring and summer
winch Will make the growth of the city
during any other period OF its history
appear SLOW aad gradual by comparison.
The new industries which are projected
Will OF themselves add several Thousand
to OR population. The building boom
which marked the latter portion OF last
year will also continue with cessation
1t Is probable that no fewer than doz-
en- elegant business blocks will be built
during the year, and the building of
residences will, Of course, keep pace with
the growth Of the city. At the same
time the railroad development OF the
country tributary to Seattle is being
pushed increasingly forward.

"Yoa remember l fold you some time
ago that Messrs G0odaIl i Perkins told
me that the Idaho was too soft TO longer
continue on the Alaskan route, and that

| They also said that inasmueh as the

was liable to be cOUfiscated 1T any time,
they did not intend to spend another
dollar on her. When ! asked them what

Say, you! City Dads. Why not divid
, the city into wards? We need council
men from each section OF the city, il
order to have all interests properly req
resen ed, and for several other purpose
it becomes necessary to divide int
wards.
