TOO FAR UP TOWN.
People Would Not Let the Postomec
BE Moved.

An interesting illustration OF the re-
markable growth Of Seattle during the last
two decades lis told by Thomas w Prosch
secretary OF the Chamber OF Commerce.
When Mr. Prosch was named postmaster
by President Grant, In 1876. he thought II
would be good plan to move the oeane
from Its corner on Yesler way ana Posi-
street. to a building on the present site OF
Lowman 4 Hsnford's stationery s1ore.
near Cherry street. on First avenue. The
ONCE was moved there. but there immedi-
ateiy was heard a vigorous cry OF protest
from ali parts OF the city that the place
was too far away and made II 50 difficult
10 get mail that II was not TO be borne
Mr.. Presch submitted To their objections
for six months. but was then prevailed up
on 10 move back 10 the old location, in
the heart OF the city, where II remained
until ISIS
Watson c. Squire. governor. made an
attempt 10 have the Office moved TO one
OF his buildings. on Main ami Occidental.
In IsS5. but was unable 20 do 40 on se-
count OF more protests from the people
that I, was TOO far out Of the way. The
office was moved In 1888, 10 the Boston
block. on Second and Columbia. which
was complained Of as being too remote
even at that late period.
