a mile aud half wide, reaching down
the valley, Great sand pumps were
put to work filling in block after
block, till large portion of the whole
sale business of the town is now es
tablished here in great structures of
brick and stone. This filled land is
now tho most valuable in the city.
Lying along the eastern edge of this
Tide Fiat section is the ridge which
cuts OFF the Rainier Valley beyond. A
section through this hill, about half
a mile long and four long blocks wide,
has boon let to the contractors, and
tho sluicing is uGw in actual progress.
