QUIET NEW YEAR DAY.
Bright, Cheerful Weather Attracts
Crowd to Down Town Streets.

CFOWu 10 Down TOWN Streetss
The first day OF 1900 passed quietly in
Seattle. 1t was essentially home day
and the majority of citizens spent IL at
their own firesides with their families and
friends. There were the few boisterous
ones who celebrate the New Year by re-
solving to drink no more and fell by the
wayside, but this class was not as num-
erous as in other years. The enthusiasm
OF the multitude spent itself in ushering
in the New Year just after midnight Sum
day with the blaze of fireworks and the
firing Of weapons Of all sizes.
Nearly all the stores and other places Of
business were closed all day. The usual
number of family reunion dinners took
place. The bright sunny weather attract
ed large number of people to the down
town streets in the afternoon. The wealth
err was puzzle to Fasteners who could
not understand why January / should so
much resemble an Eastern May day. They
were possibly unused to the idiosyncrasics
Of the weather Of Puget sound.
The theaters drew large crowds in the
evening and the day ended peacefully.

Nothing in the annals mas e1ceeoe"
the phenomenal up building noticed here
abouts during the last three weeks. On
every side the town is growing, till tne
old timer, If he we're set down here a1tef
an absence of any duration prolonged,
would not be able to identify it. 1t is
extending east and west principally along
the river and seashore, as was to have
been expected, but even far out on the
tundra it is growing day by day. Houses
and tents of all kinds are being erected.
Eastward the growth is astonishing.
On Front street east Of the N. A. L. q L.
Co., there are buildings fer solid mile.
Fine stores of all kinds, restaurants and
saloons are going up as it by the wand OF
a prestigitateur. In week more, judg-
ing by what has been accomplished,
there will be as fine places as in the old
er parts Of the city.
The shore, too, is lined for miles With
tents, lumber and great stocks of goods.
The beach and streets are thronged with
teams and blockades are frequent. Ships
are continuing to bring gold-seekers, too,
and though probably not in such large
numbers as heretofore, they are coming
| in such force as to show the enduring
faith in the camp.
When the creeks get to producing gold
in abundance, the activity will be still

mind by all newcomers that whereas the
Klondike produces its gold in the spring,
the mining season here is later and does
not get out it's mineral wealth till neal

be very dry season up to date. Last

ing forward on Second street and else
where will probably be still further ex
i tended. Meanwhile, the gold camp, will
