SEATTLE AND THE KLONDIKE.

improve the park system OF the city,
and it will not be long before it's in
habitants can boast of possessing as
fine parks as are to be found in the
country. Even now, Seattle is not be-
hind any other city of its size and age
in this respect and the Improvements
already made give glowing promise of
the work to be done in the future. 1t
is true that. i'll a sense the whole Of
Seattle is one vast park. Nowhere else
III this country are there such varied,
magnificent and beautiful scenic effects.
From d thousand points of vantage in
different portions of the city one may
catch glimpses that remain in the mem
DRY forever. But although rarely bles-
Sed by nature, Seattleites have not rest
ed indifferent upon that dover, as is
evidenced by the 800 acres in eight diff
ferent areas already devoted to rest,
recreation and contact with nature
Some of these spots are unequaled by
anything within the reach of any other
city, West or East Their natural
beauty has not been marred in the least,
and the dense thickets and dim glades
carry one back to the primeval instincts
and claim their ancient kinship. The
eye of the landscape gardener can detect
the Intoxicating possibilities Of d park
system in Seattle and it is purposed to
have some day d glTdle of beautiful
parks, a zone set in sparkling jewels,
arranged with all the rare skill of art
and the deepest sympathy with nature.
Seattle HOW has lakeside resorts. sunny
squares and forest grottos that are the
admiration and envy of every Eastern
visitor and it is intended that the park
system of the city shall keep pace with
its own Wonderful progress
