SEATTLE THE CENTER

Opens New Oflice Here.

The rapid centrallzing Of the many
transportation lines in Seattle Of both
water and raj has placed her far ahead
OF all other cities and ports of the Pa
enc coast. She has had the advantage
over ports such as Victoria Vancouver
Tacoma, Portland and San Francisco by
the endowment of five transcontfnental lines
OF railroad. two lines Of Asiatic steam
sh ps. and two lines OF steamers to the
HAWAIIAN islands. She Is the recognized
headquarters for the Alaska steamers.
and the home OF the mosquito fleet of
trading and pleasure boats. which all
make Seattle their home thus Justly en-
titling her TO the wer-earned soubriauet
OF THE Hub Of Transportation
II naturally follows, In order TO handle
the greatly increased travel. that a CEN
traIy located ticket office should be es-
tablished, where the pubic can procure
reliable and correct Information. and
where people will be able to purchase
tickets and make reservations on both
steamer and sleepings cars. and arrange
for checking of baggage from their resi-
annoyances ana he rush which usually
occurs at the wharf and also the railroad
station prior to the departure of a steam
er or train
All this has been overcome by the open
ing Of a ticket office at No LOG Vest
Yesler way, where tickets can be pur-
chased, reservations made and all the de-
tails OF the journey perfected under the
immediate ard personal supervision OF ".
f. Carson, che CT the bess known rail-
road man on the Pacific coast.
1t is Mr.. Carson's intention 10 afford
the travelling public an office where cor
rect information regarding routes. rates
and connections can be obtained. thereby
saving the prospective tours, or local
traveller ali the petty annoyanCes that
precede y Journey.
The opening Of this office marks a new
era In the transportation world, and also
points out the fact that Seattle IS thor
oughIy I'D TO date IN everything. Mr..
Carson is also willing 10 encourage any
effort on the part IF business men 10
recognize the natural advantages which
Seattle possesses. and az the same time
TO advise its patrons Of that fact.
