ItsliM'titiou is beautiful, commanding an Interesting view in most every ilins'tloii.

The city is laid out evenly, the ktrisis running straight without break or curve, and the car linns forming a system that for a place of its sio would be ' bard toispial anywhere. Taeoma Is inhabited by 11 very rulbuslaml Intelligent class of ssiple, mostly eastern, with a gissl showing from Oregon and Call fnrulu. 1 wusitiito surmised to Ibid that no Chinamen were resident, and inquiring the wberefor was told that some time ego they were ipiletly ordei oil to leav e tho city, being paid for their loss.

A fow Indians still live In this vicinity, but aro very ipilet and K-ucciihlc, and one never bears any disturbance among them. The stores and losidences are of the latest nrchitcctiiio and nearly all new ; therefore the appearance of tho city has additional charms for the visitor. The Mocks of goods carried hero compare favorably with eastern triido centers.
