change their plans, stop construction
work, as has been done before, and
wait for conditions to change. Great
care should be observed in connection
with these railroad questions. Reg
ulation may be beneficial, but perse-
cution would result disastrously.
CAS- to the comparative benefits to
be derived by Tacoma and Seattle
from railroad developments, / should
say that there appears to be no rea-
son why one city should grow faster
than the other. There is room and
backing enough for two great COM
niercial centers on Puget sound, and
the extension of transcontinental
railroads to the sound ought to
equally benefit both cities. In addi-
ton to the North Coast, Milwaukee
and Union Pacific railroads, there is
another transcontinenta line which
is preparing to build here in the near
future"

few months after the death of
Charles, Lee, another brother, work
ing near st. Paul, died in the same

Since the opening of railroad traf-

and present indications are that it
will continue SO for some time. On
account of the congestion of the rail-

has been tied up. Last Saturday was
the most active day in real estate
since last November, and Monday was
another big day, The real estate men
are looking forward to heavy pur-

rived.
The price of real estate is rapidly
Increasing. not only prices OF ranches.
but also on the house lots, and a
large number of deals are going

advertising OF the AlasIa-Yukon ex-

will locate in this country, and Il
large percentage invest in real es-
tate. A large number Of deals are
going through on the Teton lands.
as this is claimed by the real estate
men to be one Of the best invest

this land are sold by the various real

of all that it will increase in value
within year, If not sooner. Ranches
are also increasing in price, and it is
generally thought they will increase
