settlements scattered along the coast

living near a railroad, the Inhabitants
pulled up stakes and annexed them
selves to Seward Thus the place had
"a considerable population from the be-

sons had camped there, and IL is now
asserted that In a short time its pop

Seward was a wild looking spot COW

and rocks. Today it is thriving city

its population as to make the efforts of
census takers Of little avail. -Four hun

hotels and good sized theater have
been built and many more buildings
are in process of erection. There is an
almost frantic demand for building ma

portation cannot at present be secured
TO supply it. The wharfs in Seattle.
Portland and Tacoma are piled high
