To the Editor: While am not proph-
ct or the son of a prophet, still to me 1t is
very plain that 1t will not be ten years
until this city will be obliged to compel
all railroads on Railroad avenue to raise
their tracks above the street in order to
meet the requirements demanded from the
ocean traffic from the water front now
owned by the Northern Pacific railway.
The commercial business of this city will
demand that no distractions In the form
of railroad trackage, even in its most SIM
pie transfer from north to south or from
south to north, where the railroad yards
must eventually be, to say nothing of the
making up Of trains and the danger and
Inconvenience Of the switch engine which
now is a constant menace to life and time
of business men. i say 1t will not be five
years before this nuisance will have to be
abated.
And the thought comes to me with great
force that the Northern Pacific Railway
Company knows this fact far better than
our citizens are conscious OF at present:
but the strangest thing of all to me is.
that there is a business man In Seattle
who will advocate the granting of this
railroad these privileges to fatally throt-

university seems to be working faith

paragement of the excellent services Of

say that perhaps the largest share Of

Gov. Rogers seems to have acted with
reference to the dignity Of the state ana
the unfolding Of substantial Justice in
refusing demand for extradition In
the now somewhat famous Armstrong
case. On the opinion rendered by the
attorney general, Armstrong could
scarcely be considered a fugitive from
justice in the legal sense. The fact that
his extradition was sought on account
OF an offense for which he could have
been tried at any time for months prior
TO his departure from Illinois was the
most important one. 1t has come to be
the practice in all the states to grant
extradition only when the facts clearly
warrant It. No criminal should find an
asylum by crossing a state boundary.
Neither, in country of such vast ex.
tent and constantly shifting population
as the United States, should the exer-
else Of executive power through extra
dition proceedings be made what 1t
might easily become, terrible engine
OF persecution. The Armstrong case
has achieved notoriety that gives its
close almost the force of q precedent.
Impartial Justice finds no cause Of
quarrel with It.

Seattle. Jan. S, 1900
To the Editor: / have been following
with unusual interest the controversy now
on over the proposal of the Northern Pa
cifc Railway Company to build q fine sta
ticn on the water front, providing certain
concessions as to right-of-way are given
them by the city council. / understand
that the Northern Pacific, which now owns
several blocks of land on the water front,
asks the vacation of certain streets, In or
der that 1t may better handle it's immense
traffic, and for this concession 1t offers to
build a fine railway station, costing nearly
half million dollars. and a subway, at
fording complete safety and convenience
for pedestrians.

have been acquainted with Chicago for
more than twenty years, and have watch
Cd its growth and progress and believe
that the Illinois Central. which daily
brings into the city the heaviest passenger
traffic of any road, is largely responsible
for the increase In values of real estate
running south as Ear as Seventy-third
street. Its Twelfth street station, which
is the union station of the Mich
A6dA ScutIdls bl8 F0uE ana Ilo
Illinois Central, is certainly one Of
the best. and its great freight sheds have
never been held as Objectionable in any
way. And who does not know that Van
Buren, street station Is the finest In this
nation, IL not in the world? And yet all
passage to the lake front Is cut OFF at this
point except by an underground walk and
an elevated stairway, over which people
go to the steamers that dock across the
tracks, and do an immense passenger traf-
fic. And it must be said that with the
trade has crowded. as near their depots as
possible. Close by Van Buren, station are
the art gallery and the library, that are
the places Of resort for visitors.
The city of Seattle owes much to the
railroads, but on the other hand tho rail-
roads find rich harvest here. or they
would not come. For all concessions
granted such corporations there should be
adequate compensation.
1t need not be thought such a difficult
thing to build underground or elevated
passages for the accommodation of in
creased traffic, II thereby life and prop.
erty are made more secure. Then, too,
with the immense water front which Se-
attic has there need be no fear of con.
gestlon at any point. 1t would seem good
tactics to wait upon the Northern Pacific
with clearly defined requirements for all
concessions granted to them. and then in
troduce them to the proposition and tell
them to go ahead.

The Year In Railroadinp.

The amount of business done by rail-
ing the year 1899 is a fair index of
general prosperity for the last twelve
months. Traffic invariably falls off in
times OF depression and rises as condi-
tons improve. The statement for the
year just past, therefore. gives a good
idea Of the gradual, but certain revival
of business, and it leaves no room to
doubt that the advance had been very
substantial.
The record for the. year is perhaps the
most satisfactory that has ever been
made. During 1898 the business was so
per cent. greater than during the previ-
Gus year and the increase over 1898 dur
ing the past twelve months has been
about as large. Both freight and pas
senger business show improvement.
Freight traffic, as gathered from re-
ports of the local offices, has increased
go per cent, exceeding in volume that
Of any previous year. In spite of in
creased manufacturing locally, more
goods have been transported from East
ern markets than ever befora and the
outgoing products, such as lumber,
shingles and canned goods. have made
up large item OF export over trans
continental roads
The passenger business, both overland
and local. shows an increase, being

Seattle, Jan. Z, 1900.
TO the Editor: I have been most care
ful and greatly Interested reader OF the
numerous Communications published dur.
ing the past week IN the Post-1ntelligtn-
Ger. Concerning the concessions asked by
the Northern Pacific am opposed to the
vacation OF the streets named in the ordi-
nances before the council. I am opposed
TO granting TO any railroad corporation the
right to place another parallel track on
Railroad avenue between King street on
the south and the foot OF Queen Anne ave-
nue. on the north. am opposed to the
vacation Of streets whereby the present
tracks on Railroad avenue may be paral-
leled to the eastward. have always main

Statistics declare that Seattle in every
respect was more prosperous than any
other city on the Pacific slope during the
past year. and the merchants make no
hesitancy in declaring over their own sig
natures that they did better last year than
at any time before In the history OF their
