are at her com mand.
More than all just now Is another adj
vantage. Seattle Is the point Of departure
for the thousands who go to Alaska and
the klondike. That brings us 10 the point
OF our story. There are rnutterIngs loud
and deep against Seattle. Reports are
abundant In the East. even as far as the
Atlantic states. that Seattle Is so grasping
and extortionats in her rates for living
and in her prices for miners outfits and
provisions and in her carrying charges that
upon her head.
1t Is to be hoped the stories are not true
II they are, then Seattle merchants, hotel
men and public carriers are the champion
idiots OF the nineteenth century. Never
had community nobler opportunity at
once to be useful on a wide scale and 10
become prosperous through entirely legitt-
mate channels, through trade mutually adj
vantaseous to themselves and the stranger
within their gates. Mutual advantage is
the only basis for real trade. Seattle should
not 40 overreach herself, or she will quick
ly divert from herself the tremendous
stream OF migration which now flows her
way and sink into insignihcancs. This very
thing has been done before.
II, on the other hand. the stories are not
true, Seattle should prove them false.

The whole state viii rejoice IL Tacoma
gets a Federal building, irrespective OF
whether II is needed or not. But we are
inclined to think that the satisfaction per-
vadlng the Tacoma papers over the pros
pect Is premature. Experience teaches
that there is a long vista OF uncertainties
and probable defeats between a favorable
senate committee report and the passage
of an appropriation. II is not difficult
matter for measure to reach this stage
in the upper house: but alas, public build
ing bills are received with suspicion and
even derision in the other branch. and the
records fail to show that many such have
during several sessions safely run the
gauntlet OF opposition. Even then there
are no certain results. For instance,
through the powerful influence of Senator
Dolph. Portland three or four years since
secured an appropriation for Federal
building. But the first stone in the found.
alton of the structure is yet to be laid
Therefore, We await the fate OF the Ia
coma project with no small trepidation.
