commissioners himself took a principal
hand, and when members of one Of the
departments were induced to register

Terminal improvements to Begin.


The welcome assurance is conveyed.
in an interview with President Hill OF
the Great Northern. appearing this
morning. that the long-expected termi-
nal improvements in Seattle are to be-
gin at an early date. The necessary
property has been acquired and preiim-
mary arrangements completed. and the
promise is made that within three weeks
the work will actually be under way.
While public attention has occupied
itself mostly with the construction OF
the sadly needed passenger depot. this
is but one item in great plan for the
extension Of terminal facilities The de-
pot will be located on the property south
Of King street. as previously indicated
1t is to be the first work undertaken,
as soon as the ground is cleared Of OBJ
structions and raised to the proper
level. In connection with this will be a
great freight warehouse. and yards
adapted to the handling Of an immense
tonnage. 1t is the beginning OF work
Of terminal construction adequate to
the future business OF this port and
the demands OF It's growing commercial
needs. Plans are being matured for
added facilities at Smiths Cove to ac-
commodate the great Pacific liners that
are under construction. promising to
revolutionise the conditions Of the ORR
entail trade.
These developments mean much for
Seattle. They are q substantial proof
Of the confidence felt by the great trans
portation agencies In the fixed destiny
Of this city as mistress Of transpacific
commerce That future belongs to us
II we are not unmindful OF our oppor-
tunities. II will be wei. to remember
that the battle IL not yet won. that
there Is mach work to be done. that
rival cities win endeavor to impede
our progress or to wrest supremacy
from our grasp, and that our people
must be as they have always been the
guardians and conservators Of their
own fortunes. But the railroad devel-
opments going forward here in all d.
rections will soon not only provide for
crying present needs but make our flu
ture proof against all accident. The
splendid improvements promised at an
early day are an earnest OF the COM
mercial greatness In which we have all
believed and which each day is making
more certain and secure.
