The Seattle Republican. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1???-1915, 1900-03-16

ern portion of the state this week
In connection with the business of
the Puget Mill company and will
perhaps be out of the city for a
week and better.
Hon. A. G.. Mcbride. who has
been running the Douglas CITY
News in Alaska for the past two
years, is in the city preparatory to
leaving for Cape York, where he
has been appointed to U. s.
Commissionership job. Nc was
formerly we'll know resident of
this city and has many friends,
who, since his return, have given
him the glad hand Of welcome as
we'll as cOngratulation.
"New Orleans is a grand place
and full of sights" said Will A.
Steele, who has recently returned
from the South, whittier he went
to attend the National Editorial
Association, which met at New
Orleans. Il was fortunate to be
IN the city at the time of the
Mardigras and that Of itself was
well worth the trip. l am we'll
pleased with my trip, but Seattle
IS the only genuine humming
city in the world, at least in the
United States. You can hear
nothing all through the East but
Seattle. Whether Seattle is in
Washington, Oregon or the Klon-
dixie they do not seem to know, but
Seattle is the whole Northwest in
their minds"
Why is Seattle a larger and
better city than Tacoma? "That's
easy" Its on account Of its
natural location for securing the
products Of Kitsap county -fnde-
pendent.
Whether your conclusion be
right or wrong we know your
premises are absolutely correct.
The Yesler Way cable line has
shut down for repairs and will SO
remain for some three or four
weeks. Leschi Park at the end of
this road on Lake Washington is
to be again thrown topen to the
public this coming season and a
heavy travel is expected, hence the
repairs at this time.
Bicycling has been quite a rage
this week In Seattle. The warm
weather without rain has brought
out many fine looking female
bicycle turn OUTS" and 1t is USE
less to add that, the men have been
doing the long look act ever since.
Turn where you will or may on
the streets of Seattle and you will
see vast amount of improvements
going on. The streets are being
repaired and the buildings are
being oyerhauled and repaired
which gives everywhere and every
place the air Of exceeding pro-
sperity.
Nothing has been heard Of Jim
Hills great depot proposition
since the defeat of the Northern
Pacific's depot plans. That Mr..
Hill had nothing else in his mind
but the defeat Of President Mellen
was quite plain to be seen and it is
too bad that the citizens did not
see the ''nigger in the wood pile"
before it was too late.
In another column hereof it will
be learned that there is a proba-
bility of Ted Piper, formerly of
the P.-I. of this city. taking edi-
torial charge of the Walla Walla
Union. Street gossipers still
stick to it that the Pipers will
start new daily in Seattle.
"Start saloon" is finding many
legitimate repeaters at present in
Seattle. The saloon business
seems to be the most profitable
business that one can 90 into in
Seattle and they are being opened
weekly.
Il was over a goodly portion of
the state not long since and I am
pleased to be able to say that
most every point that I visited is
In very prosperous condition.
Seattle however leads them all,
came from ex-senator Harper one
