The GAINESVILLE (Ga.) Enterprise, of last
week, says: "Two very youthful tramps
passed through town last week. They.
gave their names as Henry and Jimmie
Robinson, aged respectively II and Z
years, and seemed to be bright little fell
lows. They were from Anderson, s. c.,
and were en- route to Banks County,
where their grandmother lives. They
told pitiful tale. After serving term
in the penitentiary their father returned
home, and filling up on mean liquor beat
his wife Numerically. and drove her
from home. He then beat the children,
kicked them out and told them to leave.
Having broken up his home he left also.
The little boys knew nothing OF the
whereabouts Of either of their parents,
and having no shelter, and almost stary-
ing, started on the long tramp to their
gr0ndmother's. When they reached this
place they were almost exhausted, but our
Citizens, with their usual generosity,
filled their pockets with eatables and
dimes, and the youngsters trudged on to-
ward their destination"

better for both employer and employee to

or Unrivalea Beauty and Great CONNER
oiaI Importance.
A description of Seattle, however hasty,
would be sadly lacking if mention were
not made of its surrounding lakes, their
splendid scenery, and their relation to the
future of Seattle. The gentle waves OF
Lake Washington, body of fresh water of
great beauty, lave the east boundaries of
the city at distance of two and a half
miles from the Sound. The lake Is thirty
miles in length by five in width. and lies
parallel with the Sound. The surrounding
scenery is magnificent beyond description.
A days journey about the lake is source
OF never-ending delight to tourist and to
resident alike, for il never fails TO disclose
some new beauty hitherto hidden TO the
casual glance. Lake Union. a small body
OF water, hardly less charming than the
greater lake, lies west of Lake Washington
nearer the Sound. and at the northwest
boundary of the city. It's northeastern arm
is about a quarter of mile from Lake
Washington, and the two are connected by
q small canal. Lake Union is about half a
mile from the Sound, and a stream naviga-
ole to small craft likewise flows from one
to the other. 1t is intended that at some
time In the near future the lakes shall be
connected with Puget soend by ship
canal, that craft OF all descriptions may so
from salt TO fresh water. and then be freed
entirely, by the simple action Of fresh
water, Of the teRacious teredo and harna-
Gle. The establishment OF great shipyards
on the lakes would unquestionably follow
the construction of the canal, and they
would become likewise the site of many
important manufacturing enterprises.
Beautiful villas have been ana are being
constructed about these lakes. For
suburban homes they are irresistibly AZ
tractive, and ere long the shores Of the
lake will be hned with q succession of
charming residences.
1t should be mentioned that boating on
the lakes Is excellent. Several clubs have
been formed. and the waters arc frequently
the scene of exciting aquatic events. The
oarsmen of the world are TO be invited TO
participate in great boat race on Lake
Washington next summer.

THE CENTER OF THE souND.
A Location That Surpasses Every other
Immediate Resources.


A Location That surpasses Every Other
Immediate Resources.
The commercial location OF Seattle s not
inferior To its scenic position. Its location
with reference to Puget sound Is superior
to every other place. 1t is central. 1t is
convenient. Ii has an unequaled harbor.
1t Is accessible from every quarter. It has
the prestige Of being the CHIEF commercial
city of Washington Two-thkds OF all the
steamers Of Puget sound make their head
quarters here. They traverse every bay and
Inlet of the Sound. exporting manufactured
articles and supplies of every description
70 all tributary points and importing
the diversified products of the whole North
west. The jobhing trade of Seattle alone IS
quite sufficient to maintain a large and
thriving city.
chiefly depends for its future. The inn
mediate resources are diverse and abund-
ant. The mountains are bristling with
iron and coal awaiting the pick and the
shovel. The coal mines now adjacent TO
Seattle yield a tremendous output, and it
requires many ships to carry it to the mar
kets OF the coast. The iron industry Is but
in the ineipiency of its development. Many
iron manufactures have prospeeted and
satisfied themselves of the iilimifably vast
capabilities Of these mountains of iron. and
there are under way many projects for
their utilization. Within the year rolling
mills have beer started at Salmon bay. and
it cannot be questioned that soon the re-
duetion of iron on an immense scale will
be undertaken in and about Seattle.
The lumber interest is already very great.
and mighty income is derived from the
sale of the lumber; and the supply of the
great mills engaged in the manufacture Of
lumber is an Important part Of the jobbing
trade. There has yet been no appreciable
decrease in the extent of the great forests,
and the industry is capable of much
greater Development: for Puget sound lnm-
her always finds ready sale in the markets
of the world.
There Is opportunity in Seattle for every
mandatory correlative with the develop
ment OF these three great industries; and
there is opportunity also for factories
OF every description. Resources Of every
nature are available, and means OF trans
porsAtioa througho out the coast, 10 the
East, or 10 any part Of the world. are not
surpassed anywhere.
