The company formed and incorporated
s0re three months ago 20 furnish hest and
pewer for business houses IN Seattle. has
leased the lots IyiEg between West and
Post streets, and directly back OF The z. e.
Miles Co. building. for . term Of ten yesrs
with the privilege Of ten more At the expira-
ton OK the tirst lease. The company, which
consists 81 Msssrs. W. r. Boyd, j. p. Low
man. A. Macintosh. w. H. Pumph rey and
r. ri. Fisher, are now considering the best
method 10 use In putting in the plant
81 first Is was the iBtentiun Of the incor-
porators 10 furnish steam for heating and
water for running the elevators in the block
Ct buildings on the soath SIDE Of Front
street. between ColHmb5a street aud Yesier
avenue. This would include the Fan Fran
cisco block. the Union block. Poucin build
ing, safe Deposit building, Klein & Rosen-
berg's building. the Gordon hardware
building. w. r. Boyd's building. the Starr
building and the Yesler and Feurer build
ings. SO many applications have been re-
ceived by the company, however, that they
have decided to extend the limit OF terri
tory which their system will cover,
and II will include buildings as
far away from the heat producing station
rs Judge Burke's new building on the cor
ner Of Marion and Second streets. The
company viii be abie to convey steam any
distance. and heat buildings to any re-
QuiEed degree.
They will pump salt water from the bay,
and furnish is for running elevators much
cheaper than separate plants could be put in
each building. The tanks and pnmps alone
for building the size Of the w. 2. Boyd
block would cost in the neighbor-
hood 6f 5000. This would not
iuclnde the cost Of an elevator nor Of an
engine and boiler. All these OUTLAWS ex-
cept for the elevator are done away with
by the use of this system, and great deal
OF room saved IN the buildings besides. IL
is possible that this company may. besides
furnishing heat and power, also conclude
to put in an electric light plant
Work on the building to be erected on
Post street viii commence in q short time.

Ing the location will be decided apcn. and
also the size, style and capacity of the
mills, and the number OF men TO be EN-
pioyed.
No time will be lost In erecting buildings.
as the parties are DESTROYS of getting to

for building material required in the cree
ton OF residences in that section.
