direction OF substantial Improvement
were decried by Jealous foes OF the
struggling city as monuments Of indus

unwary."
The lapse OF twelve months had
brought a revolution In the material In
terests OF Seattle. and foremost among
the potential agencies which had given
accelerated impulse to the onward
march of the city was what Mayor
Minor described as that notable
product Of home genius. enterprise. and
pertinacity, the Seattle. Lake Shore &

So profoundly was public sentiment
moved by the great services OF Mr.. GU

public subscription Of $4,000 with which
to present Mr.. Gilman a fine home.
While this was being discussed the fire

Mr.. Gilman returned to Seattle from the
East with such assurances that he felt
justified in Incorporating local COM

capitalists. who seemed to have been
impressed with the advantages OF the
scheme. but doubted the capacity of Sc
attic to utilize il. After another month
