which are more or less familiar to most
of the travelling public, but by many
others little understood. are so fully

hustllng city Of perhaps 1b,Vv9 fixed
population. with electric lights, schools.
churches. and found everywhere eYl-
dence OF the spirit OF American push

still necessarily quite high, the esti-
mated cost on 100 pounds Of freight
being about ten dollars from Seattle
