provement the city OF Seattle is max
ing wonderful strides. Civic pride,
j coupled with the demands of rapidly
growing community, are making Sc
attic a modren city Of metropolitan pro-
portions faster than many people re-
alize. Homes by the hundred are being
erected New and substantial buildings
for business purposes are In progress OF
construction or are planned in the CEN
ter OF the city. Public improvements are
being carried forward to provide the peo-
pie with the comforts and conveniences
of city life. Along these lines Seattle
Is outstripping every other city on the
Pacific coast.
Not since the haicyon days OF 1901
has there been so much Eastern capital
seeking investment in Seattle income-pay-
ing realty. To the Eastern capitalist who
has Investigated the resources and pros
poets OF the city, rent-paying business
property here IL better than government
bonds as an investment This is not the
sole reason for the tremendous activity
In building which marks the year 1900
already record breaker. The neces-
sfty for more residences due to the con-
slant and rapid growth OF population. has
dotted the city's hills with new homes
and has built up whole districts.
BY the rebuilding OF the railway lines OF
the city, the construction Of the Cedar
river system and the completion OF many
other improvements OF public character,
the year 1900 will be put down in future
chronicles as an era of extreme activity
and advancement in the Queen city.
