railway connection with the East, or
any foreign lines of ocean Transports
ton. Today, -four transcontinental lines,
the Great Northern, Northern Pacific,
Burlington and Canadian Pacific. run
trains out of Chicago for Seattle, and
1t Is a question of but a short time when
other transcontinental lines will be
operating in the same port. The Union
Pacific and the North Coast are 10Y
under construction. and the Chicago,
Milwaukee and st. Paul has been COM
pleted, but is not yet in operation.
In ocean transportation. Independent
of the numerous coast lines, Seattle has
direct connection with Japanese and
Chinese ports inc the Hawaiian
Islands.
Seattle's m increase in traf-
fc is illustrated by the fact that in the
last twelve years her freight business
has Increased over 400 per cent. This
increase is no more remarkable than
tina of her population. The last census
