TRUSTS THE CITY ENGINEER.

Seattle, Jan Q, 1900.
To the Editor: ASH remember, 1t was
originally intended that the Northern Pa
cinc should have two tracks on Railroad
avenue. They now ask for one track on
Railroad avenue and one on their own
acquired property between Yesler way and
Union street. with the necessary spurs.
II the depot could be put on the north
side Of Madison 1t would be an ideal place,
and the vacating of Western avenue north
Of Madison and the vacating OF Spring and
Seneca street on the railroad level, look
ing to the future erection Of overhead
streets, would In no way interfere with
either passenger or wagon traffic.
This territory would, In my estimation,
furnish ample space for union depot
for Seattle. even with 100000 Inhabitants.
According to the diagram published, this
would accommodate seven trains at a
time, which would make room, during the
twenty-four hours Of each day. for all
the trains that would by any possibility
be waiting entrance here. What we need
ID terminal facilities. not a union depot.
would like to see the freight business
mainly handled In the southern part Of
the city, but see no objection to their
handling freight in the territory north OF
Madison as long as there Is sufficient room
for 1t there. AS to details to render the
present project feasible. and adapted to
the necessities of all our citizens, I have
confidence that our city engineer will ar
range these matters satisfactorily, so that
no interests shall be interfered with.
Yours respectfully, w. j. COLKETT.

FROM THE PEOPLE.
continued From Pass -Four.

Ito the business interests Of this city for
all time to come. Already the demands
and interests of ecattle look to the re-
movAl and elevation OF all tracks from
Railroad avenue, and the only reason why
the business men have not already petit
toned tho council to remove the same u
this present agitation and want Of depot
facilities. and men are satisfied with risk
Ing life and wasting time In yielding to
what would seem a necessity: but the au-
dacity of this railroad company will re-
act coon and the already obstructed busi-
ness will soon make imperative demands.
II there not 4 greater incentive here for
q large city In the near future than there
was at Chicago when 1t had but 10000
inhabitants7 If so. Is II not reasonable
to suppose that within ten or fifteen years
our population will increase 10 at least
$4,000? see in the near future necessity
of building large two-storied warehouses
on our wharyes with railway tracks pass
Ing from this elevated railway into their
upper stories. and what sorry plight
will this city be in when she awakens to
these imperative demands and finds her
hands tied by and through her own fool
ishness by granting these demands Of the
Northern Pacific Railway Company.
