S. 5. Bailey.-r look for steady increase

about 100000 in 1910. Present conditions,
think. warrant that belief. i VIII n ne an
Gus for decade or more.
r. c. McCormick-The number OF people
residents Of Seattle In 1906 will not think.
be short of 10000 And the increase IN
through the growth and development Of
the Alaska trade. That has been our great
boon In the past, and ! think It VIII con-
tinue to be Of first Importance TO us az a
growing city. Our state mines Is another
great factor. too.
Austin Claiborne--By 1905 Seattle will
have attained a population Of from 125 600
to 10000 rolling up % fn mat I'M
fury. and larger, perhaps.
Frank Dimick-f think Seattle can justly
boast OF 125,000 in 1905. And she may have
more
]. r. Trowbridge--Seattle's population in
five years from now think. viii be $780,
600. And that estimate. In the face OF
present satisfactory conditions as to
growth both In the trade and population,
would seem conservative.
Frank Parker-Put the population of Sc
attic in 1905 at 100000. 1t will be that, in
my Judgment.
Charles Z. Peabody-In 1908 Seattle,
think, will have not less than 10000 or
10000 of a population. And by 1910 she
will probably have added another 100000.
=. D. Comings-1t is not a. nigh figure,
in my judgment, to put Seattle's 1905 pop
ulation at 100000.
A. N. Gray-Another five years will see
this city, in my Judgment, with a popula-
tion of 100000
Cant n 70. Caine-My Judgment Is that
Seaffle,s population will be close around
2OO00o In 1o65. and Ii should take on an
additional 100 600 from 1905 to 1910
