What think you of Manhattan iale?
The ahove query addressed to an
Indian kull recently dug up on the
Ite of New York city might alao be
address to the first Inhabitants of
this burg.
Less than SO years ago 25,000 In
dians lived on the country bordering
on Puget Sound drawn here doubt
less, by the conditions which made
this country their earthly Ideal, and
whether engaged In fishing, skim
ming over these still waters In
their canoes, or hunting in the woods
adjoining. It is easy to understand
how the Indian found here a very
satisfactory substitute for the Happy
Hunting Grounds...
A hundred years after- Columbus
reached the new world these waters
were first navigated by a white man
a Greek named DeFuca, who sailed
In here, and gave his name to the pas
sage of water leading In from the
ocean, the Straits of San Juan De
Fuca. ' '
At intervals of 100 years or so,
other navigators followed the first
one to explore this inland sea; which
baa a coast line of 1600 miles, and
covers an area of 4000 square miles,
and finding here safe anchorage and
noticing the beauty of these waters
and the surrounding shores, have left
their Impressions on record.
"I venture nothing in saying there
Is no country in the world that pos
sesses water equal to these, the shores
of which are remarkably bold, so
much so, that In many places a ship's
until the sawmill town of 30 years
ago Is today the city of 150,000 peo
ple, 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 a 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 Uie 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 thai ever sailed
from a Pacific coast port, the Minne
sota, left here with a cargo valued
at, nearly $2,000,000. Twenty-five
years ago the property valuation of
this city and county combined was
less than $1,000,000.
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
the North Coast Limited of the North
ern Pacific a start out of here, and
then beat It Into Taconuu
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 arnv
chairs and windows overlooking the
Sound; the present structure is wood,
but a couple of blocks away the li
brary is soon to find a new home in
a handsome stone structure, which Is
a monument to the combined efforts
of the city of Seattle and Andrew
Carnegie.
So much for the present; what of
not be overlooked, considering the
amount of patronage It gets, is the
police court.
A visitor to an institution of this
kind once remarked to a companion:
"What a hard looking case that pris
oner Is." "Hush, my dear." was the
reply, "that's not the prisoner; that's
the Judge." The mistake was perhaps
excusable, at least a visit or two to
this mill of Justice and the witness
ing of the proceedings does not tend
to confirm the belief that it was not
so.
And the prisoners, the poor devils,
who for various reasons find their
way here, some of whom were ready
enough to fling loud defiance at law
and order last night, are quiet enough
this morning, and find, Indeed, that
Tls no time for mirth or laughter

says .one of these early navigators,
