Passenger travel over the various lines
from the EaM for the first ak months Of
the year Just ended has been exception
ally heavy. and has far exceeded the ex-
pecsaiions OF the different departments in
this city. While compared with the num-
Der Of persons arriving In Seattle for the
same period last year the total is not so
great. but the volume OF business by far
exceeds. In fact, Ii may be said that the
ak months just past have been among the
best since the first trains arrived In this
city,
The principal cause for the falling OF
In the number OF passengers carried Is
given a. being due 10 the low rates that
year during the klondike boom. AT that
time the rates In use were I'D srst class
and 80 second class. The present fates
are SO first class and so second class.
Notwithstanding the fact that a large
number OF persons, other than kIondikerg.
took advantage OF the low rates las. year
and paid visit TO the coast, the travel
shis year so far has been more han half,
which. with the present rates prevailing,
has made the volume Of business ere alter.
The outgoing travel. while very heavy
even al this season OF the year. Is not 50
great. except probably 10 the different
neighboring resorts. nor In II al great az
the incoming. which In evidence that tho
population OF the city 10 forging ahead.
This fact Is also borne out by the state
Hents OF real estate men. who affirm the
demand for houses here Is greater than
tho supply.
