until the sawmill town of 80 years
ago is today the city of 10000 peo-
pie, who have converted this once
timbered hillside into streets and
thoroughfares lined with overflowing
warehouses, pretentious business
blocks of brick and stone, and hand
some residences, and whose COM
merce has called into existence fleet
of ships of various kinds which ply
the waters of this inland sea in every
direction; and across the ocean to
exchange the products Of this city
and the country tributary, for those
of other countries across the sea.
Biggest Steamer on the Seas
Seattle has had many proud days
since that other day when the first
sawmill was erected here. One of
these occurred this week when the
biggest steamship that ever sailed
from a Pacific coast port, the Mime
sofa, left here with a cargo valued
at nearly s2,O0O,OOO. Twenty-Five
years ago the property valuation of
this city and county combined was
less tndn 9l,UUO,UUU
The Canadian Pacific, Northern
Pacific, Great Northern and Burling-
ton, all land their trains in here and,
considering the amount of passenger
travel handled here, the little, dirty,
old wooden structure, called by cour-
tesy, a depot, is certainly a disgrace,
but that is to be remedied in the near
future, the foundations now being laid
for what is to be a very handsome
structure for a union depot.
In addition to the railroads already
mentioned there is the interurban, an
electric line, the trains of which give

then beat 1t into Tacoma,
Modern City.
Climbing the hill from the water
front the milestones of progress in
this city's march from its sawmill
days are found on every hand. Banks,
business blocks, hotels, truly magnif-
icent structures of brick and stone,
and here, well up the hill, a very
pleasant resting place is found-the
city library-well supplied with
books, magazines. comfortable arm
chairs and windows overlooking the
Sound; the present structure is wood,
but couple of blocks away the IL
brary is soon to find new home in
handsome stone structure, which Is
monument to the combined efforts
of the city of Seattle and Andrew
/ Carnegie.
So much for the present; what OF
the future, the visitor is somewhat
apt to ask himself what will be the
result when these forests, whose pro-
ducts have played so important a
part in this city's commerce. show

INVOLVES INTEREST
IN INDIAN LANDS
Bixby Reported to Have Declined
Pay to Avoid Signing Re-
quired Oath.
BY W. w. Jermano.

ST. Washington, Jan. 2S.-Eams Bixby
may be getting into more trouble with
the government. The other day the
house adopted resolutions introduced by
Representative Stephens Of Texas, in
quiring whether or not any member OF
employee of the Dawes Indian commits
sion had failed to take the oath re-
quired, that he is not interested in In
dian lands, and had thru such failure
been unable to draw his salary.
The resolution, 1t seems, was aimed
straight at Mr., Bixby, who it is said
here, has not drawn any salary since
the law demanding the oath referred to
was enacted about year ago.
The members and employees of the
Dawes commission are paid semi-month-
ly at Muskogee, Indian Territory, where
the government maintains q disbursing
office. Before drawing his salary each
man on the payroll must subscribe to
the oath Of the statute, and this, it is
believed, Bixby has not done, altho thus
far no official information has reached
Washington bearing out the impression.
The secretary Of the interior has writ
ten Bixby, asking if the rumor back of
the Stephens resolution Of inquiry is
well founded, and if. it is, demanding
that, Bixby explain his conduct. This
letter was forwarded yesterday.
Failure to take the oath seems to
mean that Bixby has not fully complied
with the law, and should this prove to
be the case, he will probably be put on
the carpet blythe federal authorities
His dismissal under these conditions
would be almost certain to follow.

REFUNDS ON SEED
WHEAT OPPOSED
Farmers in Minnesota and North
Dakota 0bject-Plans May
Be Dropped.
By w, w, Jermane,

Washington, Jan. 2S.-Representa-
tive Tawney says he understands that
protests have come from various parts
of North Dakota and Minnesota against
the proposal to import Canadian seed
wheat free of duty. The North Dakota
delegation is likely to oppose the legis-
lation and so is Representative Steener-
son of Minnesota, who has word from
his district that farmers there have
plenty of home grown seed and do not
desire to import. This being the case,
Mr.. Tawney is not disposed to press
the matter before the ways and means
committee next Wednesday,. However,
should Mr.. STEVENSON introduce reso-
luton addressed to the committee ask
ing for action. he may>take the case
up. But at present he thinks the out
look for such legislation is not good. a.
