ever seen from a dollhouse; they often
measure 6 inches in diameter. The
variety is large and are generally
continuous bloomers and very fra
grant, lasting from early June until
in December. All other flowers do
equally as we'll.
This city is now about $500 popu-
lation ad growing very rapidly; It
is predicted that in 10 years Everett
and Seattle will be one and the same
city, although they are 80 miles
apart now. Two transcontinental
lines are in the city now-the
Great Northern and Northern
Pacific. The Chicago, Milwaukee &
Puget Sound Ry. is building here
now; their passenger station is only
about three blocks from us. The
Union Pacific and Grand Trunk are.
both looking for terminals here. The
Chicago, Milwaukee & Puget Sound.
Ry. is to have an immense ferry boat
here to transport an entire train
across the Sound to Port Ludlow.
This Mi mean a great addition to
the BUSINESS interests of Everett.
The people take great pride in their
municipal Improvements. Many miles
of pavement have been made during
the past year; it never gets SO cold
in winter that they cannot work at
paving. they use asphalt and cedar
blocks. The system of sewer is fine
on account of the natural drainage
of the land. The water system is
ideal-the source of supply from the
mountains. The streets in the resi-
dent districts are generally 80 feet
wide but they have wide parking
strips and lay the cement walk about
16 feet from the lot line and a mar
row one between the walk and the
gutter. The street proper is very
narrow but sufficiently wide for traf-
fc. Several blocks are laid OF into
a district and the streets, sewers and
cement walks are all done by COM
tract. the cost is then a%pportioned
among the lots in the district and
paid in five equal quarterly INSTALL
ments. The city is not bonded for
this. The cost is usually about SIS
per lot. There are many advantages
in this plan as one may see.
From a pleasure standpoint this
is an ideal place to live as there are
from ten to fifteen pleasure steamers
going from here every day to all
points on the Sound. Seattle. Tacoma,
Olympia. Vancouver. B. G. Belling-
ham, Hoods Canal and the thousands
Of summer resorts on the many is
lands Of tho Sound. Everett maintains
a professional baseball team. There
are many theatres here that have the
best talent on the road. Olga Neither
sole Is to be here soon, also Frederick
Warde. Nat Goodwin. Marie Cahill,
edna Goodrich. We generally get
what Seattle gets. There are many
vaudeville and moving picture shows
also that run continuously. Sunday
as well.
Every religious denomination is
represented. There are Is churches.
The New High School building has
just been completed and equipped at
q total cost Of 100000. It is the
incest school building I ever seen.
The educational advantages are very
good. We have three colleges.
There are many South Dakota
people here, among them A. N. Small
whom many Of the old settlers will
remember. His children are all mar
ried and located here. / meet, almost
