MR.. MELLEN IN TACOMA.
Arranging to Utilize Recently Pur-
chased Water Front Gives
the City Some Good ADVICE.

Special Dispatch TO the Post-Intelligencer
TACOMA. Feb l2-President C. 5, Mel
len. of the Northern Pacific, and party
who arrived here this morning. VIII remain
on the Sound several days. visiting seat
tic and Everett before the end OF this vcck
President Mellen has denied. in toto the re-
mort wired from St Paul that he contem-
plated moving some Of his terninai Dusi-
ness from Tacoma and Seattle to Everett:
He says. plainly, that the Everett emo 0,
the Monte Cristo railroad was purchased
purely as business proposition and to give
the Northern Pacific an access to that city,
which is becoming an important shipping
point, on account of the numerous mills
and factories there.
Mr.. Melien says that his chief business
in Tacoma. at this time, is TO complete ar
rangements for utilizing at once the half
mile OF water front between the CONNER
cial dock and the Eleventh street oridge,
which his company recently purchased OF
the Tacoma Land Company. IL Is the IN
tention to cover this entire strip with ware
houses. as soon as one or two alterations
in the streets are consented to by the city
council. These changes were all arranged
for several weeks ago. but later. one IT two
local asitators raised the cry that ne city
might be giving the railroad something ard
a delay has ensued. Citizens generally are
heartily in favor Of making the changes at
orce, enlarging its terminals here.
President Mellen again advises the city OF
Tacoma TO be up and doing In her own
behalf He says that the rapidly growing
Oriental Coast and Sound business OF his
entire water front property from Eleventh
street to Old Tacoma. He therefore advises
that the city urge the Washington delcEa-
ton I'm congress to secure an appropria lion
for dredging out the city channel its fun
width from Eleventh street to Twenty-frst
street. The Northern Pacific, he says, Will
itself dredge out the channel in front OF
Its newly acquired property.
III the city follows his advice the result
will be to provide wharf room, double the
size of that now In use for the unrestricted
use Of small Sound steamers. II necessary
even free accommodations can be provided
these steamers. since the city owns long
strip OF tideiand on the east side OF the
channel. at Eleventh street. Mr.. Mellen
plainly points out that on the several
thousand acres OF tidefats east OF the chan
mel can be obtained terminal grounds for
the Union Pacific and half dozen other
railroads
President Mellen says nothing definite
about the Union Pacific for the reason that
his proposition for the Union Pacific to
reach Puget sound over the Northern Pact
hc tracks has not vet been definitely act
ed upon. 1t Is expected. however, that Mr.
Hartman and his party. including presi-
dent Burt OF the Union Pacific. and Mohler
OF the o. r. & N. win arrive here from
