Boston Transcript.

In Seattle they are pulling UP the
bottom of the bay and spreading it
on the tide lands. With giant hose
they are washing the hills away and
to make a city. The filled lands; of
Boston and San Francisco are already
famous-in San Francisco the What
Cheer hotel, made immortal by Rob-
erti Louis Stevenson In the middle of
the city, but built upon a wreck that
once lay on the beach. To-day Seattle
is busy changing her map.
Seattle has been a weed Of growth:
one gets tired Of hearing how the city
has doubled its population since 1895.
It was g. settlement; Alaska and the
railways have made it metropolis
Ia huge ungainly thing, stretched out
over every sort Of hill without hum
dred yards Of level land in its whole
wide expanse. The cable cars run over
routes that would shame a Coney
Island roller coaster; the shore drops
ness that makes it almost impossible
to build a respectable freight yard for
railroads, and that at the same time
greatly increases the trouble of un-
loading and loading the ships which

below. No really desirable site is
open to a factory, no fiat land is to

works or a spacious car barn may
cling; by the nature OF the shores no
real fine dockage is open to those who
in the future care to build.
Still another difficulty presents 1t
self in the impressive presence of the
teredo. The teredo is not large
creature, but it has a tremendous
economic importance, for 1t lives upon
piles, eating circuitous way thru the
supports of.a wharf until the whole
structure becomes unsafe. To prevent
the ravages of this voracious borer,
| it is necessary to sheathe the piles
with an encasement Of metal, a proc
ess which makes wharf building very
expensive. This Is an unfortunate
state of affairs for q city like Seattle,
which hopes to become on some bright
day in the future the New York Of
1.-THE Pacific; a better harbor is needed
at this terminus to, two great trans
continental lines and at this gateway
| to trade with the orient.
| At one end OF the harbor the drop-
ping tide leaves great mud flats ext
posed to exude their dismal smells
into the city; behind these tide lands
| a crest Of land separates the sea from
the wide expanse OF fresh water called
Lake Washington. Two great neces-
lsities were presented to Seattle-the
building of large area of level lands
where railroads, ships and manufac-
Iturers might meet on convenient
1 equality Of height and the construc-
ltion of canal connecting the lake
