that there is not room enough on the
narrow strip of sand between the rugged
heights and the sea. The horseshoe
curved coast in its widest part admits of
eight or ten streets. but they extend only
short distance; in another and longer
place there is space but for two streets
between the cliffs and the rolling surf.
The greater part of the city, however.
occupies slightly sloping incline. and
the Gales (streets) are laid out in regular
squares.
As the population increased, the rocky
nus had to De made available, and now

three or four miles, extends back a cons;d~

pany, all residents Of Tacoma, today de-
e1ded to withdraw their boats, the Fair.
hayen and State Of Washington, from the
Whatcom route. These boats win be tied
up here till the company can find some
paying route to put them on. Manager
sedgewick says the company for some
time has not bsen making money on the
Whatcom route; in fact the business has
not paid since the City Of Seattle dropped
n It Whatcom.
The Pacific Navigation Company saws
the steamboat pool did not subsidixe it. but
Il - generally believed that the pool at
least pays interest on the money invested
In boats 10 be laid up. The Fairhaven will
be laid up tomorrow and the State on
Wednesday.
