A PERSONAL INVITATION.


The Kind Of Letter which Brings Pco-
pie and Capital.
We are permitted to publish the follow
ing extract from . letter written by Mr.. q.
Edward Fuller, Of Chicago who Is now Wis
iting this city. to his friend Hon. Z. b.
Miller, OF Los Angeles. As the letter
,aows, Mr.. Fuller Is delighted with the
country. and will probably make his home
here. Letters OF this sort. from friend to
friend. are the best sort Of advertising for
this or any other new country:
1.-THE city rises on q series of hills rolling
up from the tide waters Of the Sound--fhc
tide ranging from sixteen to nineteen feet
Ito a divide nearly 400 feet above, and
then slopes TO the shores OF Lake Washing
ton, fine body OF fresh water about
twenty miles in length. with an average
width OF six miles, 90, you see, there is
water. water, everywhere. but conditions
here are unlike those In some certain local
tiles. which will not hurt your feelings by
naming, where there Is never any in sight
10 drink.
prise Of the pre-igneous Seattleite. let me
say that the Hotel Rainier. at which We
are stopping. was planned and contracted
to be built before the smoke from the ire
OF last June had cleared away, to be fin
ished In thirty days. and was actually put
through. furnished and running in about
sixty days, and IS as finely laid out. fur
nished, and as well conducted as one would
expect TO End at any center of wealth and
fashion.
The location Of the hotel, on a COM
mandsng height with the unexplored
Olympic range across the Sound and
Mount Rainier in the distance, affords
such delectation rs the sight OF Old Badly
and santa Monica bay does from your resi-
AZ k..x. A
more life.
There becomes apparent 20 one who has
lived only in level cities, a wise dispense
ton OF providence in the Typographical
arrangement of going down hill 10 business
In this city after meals. which settles one 3
breakfast, while the return climb before
dinner Is sufficiently conducive 10 appetite
tn obviase the necessity of cocktail. How
ever, the cable aud electric street car &C
cancellations arc first class.
''since our arrival we have met the hest
people. and a moro cordial Cosmopolitan.
wide-awake class we have never met any
where. and adding 10 this the best kind Of
living and service at the hotel. with daily
jauats 10 points OF interest and TO the rap.
Idly growing now towns about rs. life has
been gay. even exciting. and worth living
for q purpose in business, and 90 watch the
growth os new things seen and for Others
hoped for.
The census now nearly completed win
probably show about $3.50 people within
the limits OF Seattle. While the suburban
population. which really ough; 10 be In
elusied. amounts 90 f0,uoo more making
almost SSpW. Tacoma has less than q, :
OsA l think IL is perfectly safe to expect q
population of 10000 within the limits o.
Seattle M less than three years.
