Sr.ATTi.r. , Aug. 10. [ Kdltorlal Correspond
ence. ] Perched upon the crest of lofty
hills that overlook Puget Sound the city of
SciiUlo ntriKlngly recalls the American Gib
raltar on the St. tawrouco. With the ex
ception of the far-famod b.vy of Naples I
doubt whether there 1s In all this wldo , wtdo
world n moro lovely and fascinating spot
than tha site of soa-glrt So.Utlo , with the
wavolcss salt water hay at its foot and three
limpid fresh water l.ikoi bathing Us flanks.
Llko Qunlwis , this city Is built up m tlors
rising nbovo each ether from the sea love 1
to an elevation of over 400 foot by steep
grades that make the ascent most difllcult
and compel everybody to patronize the cable
cars.

The hnruor nnd depot grounds occupy the
lowest tlors. The business streets are range a
In several tlors above the harbor and the
residence portion of the city covers the hill-
topi and the plateau adjacent to Lake Wash
ington , Lake Union and Green lake , back of
the Puget Sound front
TheQuoon City of Puget Sound , as Scat
tlo h properly called , excels any city of
riUil | : population m America In the compact
ness of her jobbing and rotall streets and
the number of imposing and substantial
business blocks. The great flro of 1889 ,
which swont nway the entire business portion
tion of the city , 1ms had its compensating
effect. Monumental structures of stone ,
brick and Iron ranging from four to olght
stories In height have replaced the two ,
three nnd four-story shells and flrotraps ,
transforming Seattle into a niinlaturo Chi
cago.
The Ittilirnrk of Seattle ,
quite apart from her natural advantages ,
are her enterprising , public-spirited busi
ness men. On the morning after the great
flro lour years ago , when the town was still
enveloped in smoke , a mass meeting
of cltbcns wns hold to devise measures
o ! relief and discuss the futuro. Tha
flrst question was whether tha
funds Unit luid been raised for the sufferers
by the Johnstown flood should not bo kept at
homo , as almost as disastrous a calamity
had overtaken Sc.Utlo. Instantly shouta
arose from every part of Armory hall. "No I
Send it on. " "Let it go , " nnd there was
not an opposing volco in that audience.
During the present depression , when every
other city has been shaken by bank failures ,
Scattlo has weathered the storm so far
Her bankers nnd business men are supporting
each ether with the s.imo unanimity thai
has always prevailed hero whenever thi
material Interests of the town arc at stake
No wonder Seattle has vanquished all com
potltors in the florco struggle for supremacy
that has been going on between rival town :
on "tho sound" for the past twelve years
Only another continuation of the Inexorabli
law nf the survival of the fittest , or rathe
"tho flghtors , " as I have often put It. Si
many magic cities have sprung up the las
quarter of the present century that It wouli
bo commonplace to apply the term to Seattle
The fact that she only claimed 0,000 popula
tion in 1880 , and now has fully 00,000 , speak
for itself.
A Great Future. „ >
What has made Seattle grow 10 rapldl
and what is there to stimulate futur
growths ! Natural selection , suporlo
facilities and Indomitable pluck are respor
slblo for Seattle's marvelous growth'up t
this time. The development of the vast am
varied resources of the PugotSound countr
are bound to make her a city of a quarter o
a million within the next twonty-flvo years
And I venture to say that this is a vor
moderate estimate. There is moro soil
wealth In the vast forests of the Pug <
Sound country than has over boon taken 01
of all the goto and silver mines of Amorlc ;
Scattlo Is in the very heart of the greatoi
timber region of North America. Within
stono's throw of the sound are millions c
acres of giant firs that reach a height (
from 150 to 250foot , measurln
from six to twelve feet in dlamoto
These trees are all straight i
an arrow and seldom have limb below on
hundred feet from the ground. In KIni

, nro thousands and thousands of acres

Washington Is estimated to have 03,000,0

f' mill in America is located at Port Blakol
about olght mlles south of Seattle , aero

100-horso power boilers and machinery th
cuts the logs seven foot In diameter at

To Sum Up
The bases of Seattle's future growth are
lumber , coal , iron , wool , hops , pr.iln nnd
the fisheries ( which Include salmon ,
halibut and cod ) , and last , .but not least , su
perior harbor nnd railroad facilities. While
the harbor of Seattle Is unsurpassed. Ihero

commanding advantage us n great shipping
center over nil points on the Pacific coast.
Way back In the 60's General George B.
McCleilnn , who waa nn eminent engineer ,
urged the construction of n ship canal be
tween Puget Sound and Lake Washington ,
with a vlow to utilizing the lake , which has
a depth of from 150 to 500 feet , as n fresh
water harbor , which would make It the
finest naval resort In the world.
The proposed ship canal would bo 5,700
foot long nnd can , it is estimated , bo con
structed for less than * ) ,000,000. Lake
Washington Is twenty miles long and nbput
two and a half tulles In width. Its waters
could accommodate the largest fleet. Its
shores are well adapted for wharf purposes.
Llko all salt waters the waters of Puget
Sound nro infested with the toredo and in
sect borer lhat perforates timber Hko a gim
let and becomes very destructive to piling in
wharves nnd to wooden vessels. Ships be
come foul in salt water and frequently have
lo go to dry dock to hava their bottoms
cleared of barnacles , at a heavy expense. A
fresh water harbor would bo of great advan
tage to shipping. Another point in favor of
the project is the fact that loading and un
loading of ships on tldo water , owing to the
rlso and fall of the tide , becomes moro ox-
ponslvo than loading In fresh water , where
tha walcr remains nt n uniform height and
wharves can bo constructed having In view
the greatest economy in handling cargoes.
The Seattle canal project has been before
congress several sessions and will again bo
among the proposed river and harbor im
provements. Inasmuch as it has boon rec
ommended by army and navy officers there
is > llttlo doubt that congress will ere long
make the necessary appropriation.

night , nnd ns this means a series of prlzo
lights under the gulso of oxhlblttons nnd an
Immense throng \ bound to bo ptesont. This
Is tnado doubly sure by the fact that Cham
pion George Dlxon nnd the English bantam ,
Billy Pllmmor , will go for six rounds , that
Is , If the little Johnny Dull lasts that long ,
and It Is reasonable to bollovo that ho will.
Ho Is n wonderfully clover little 'un and Is
generally to bo found In fair condition , but
appreciating the stiffness of the Job on hand ,
ho is training industrio usly , and will bo

to box nt 118 pounds presumably from a
scientific standpoint , but In view of the
nnxloty displayed bytho pugnacious Drltou
for the past year and n half to have a try
with George , a peed hot punching match can
confidently bo rolled upon. The redhots these
days have but little use lor "science" in
their flstin amusements , anyway , and nil
successful managers know this , nnd "for
scientific points" Is only used on the shdw
bills ns an case off for the authorities.
Dlxou and Plimmor are the undisputed
foathcr nnd bantam champions of the world ,
nnd their six rounds will surely bo stuffed
with the iutcusest kind of exhilaration.
Johnny Van Iloeat scorns to bo ono of your
hard luck pugilists , nlthough there is a
sail In sight at present. About the middle
of the coming mouth ho moots Huguoy
Napier , the Australian , bofg.ro the Olympic
club In Now Orleans for a purse of $3,000.
It will bo a sight to BOO this illy-matched
pair face to face In the ring , us Nupior
towers up over the St. Paul boy like Spud
Farrish towered over "Boansy" In their
famous sotto at Frank Lano's benefit. But
notwithstanding this disparity In the np-
pearanco of the two men. and Napier's snap
with Bobby Burns , Van Ilecst can bo
counted on for giving the tall kangaroo a
merry chase for the long end of the purse.
I think ho is ono of the hardest little
lighters In the world , and Is deserving of
fuller notice on the part of the big clubs.
He laid around New York for months , fell
in love with Coney Island , yet despite his
countless overtures for a flcht with Johnny

Plerco , Jack Skolloy or In fact anyone auy-
where within reach , ho was unable to got
on a fight , ana was finally forced to go to
Philadelphia in a mcot-all-comers engage
ment for cigarette money. Johnny wasn't
afraid of getting a "California deal" at
Coney Island , nnd was particularly anxious
to meet his conqueror , Solly Smith , there ,
so anxious indeed , that ho offered to fight
him for any kind of a purse , nnd if ho won
to give it all to him but enough to pay his
training expenses , but his endeavors mot
with but little encouragement. Finally the
ttow Orleans club made him an offer of $3,000
to meet Naplor , and never giving the Ante-
podiau's numerous advantages a thought ,
ho snapped it up lilfo a May trout is sup
pose to treat n fly. Here's 1 that the outcome
may prove that Johnny's impatience and
avidity did not got the better of his judg
ment.

It was In truth a rather clumsy fight on .hjU
part , and ho won by reason , of the largoi
stock nf strength tmd endurance , and goes tc
prove that there arc really "classes" at evoi

That the victorious Australian will make
oven an Interesting adversary for his pho
nomonnl countryman , redheaded Bob , then
are many nnd serious doubts. But ns thi
promise that Fitz would bo at the ring aidi
to challenge the winner panned out like Cor
belt's speech at Coney Island the othe
night , there is little inducement to discus
such n contingency oven on a hypothetic.- )
basis.
Dick Moore , well and favorably known li
this city , Is a Simon-euro prize fighter um
no mistake. Ho makes all of his fights ii
the ring and but seldom appears in the news
papers. During the past two years Moor
has made no loss than fourteen finish fight :
Think of that , and bettor than that , ha

winter before last. Nllnnd was a big , strong

his occupation , was always in prime cond

terod the ring wholly out of condition. A
that he gave the packing house man a tci

next defeat was at the hands nf good-nature
Henry Baker at Chicago last winter. 11

teonth round , when in a clinch the two me
fell , Mooro's head coming In contact wit
ono of the stakes of the ring , which pave
an easy way for Baker in the succoedin
round. Since then Diclc has had sevc
fights , all of which ho won , his last vlctli
being "Shadow" Mubor , the Australian.
Next Friday night Moore meets Fran
Kesslcr , the Montana middleweight , befoi
the Phamix Athletic club In St. Paul for
purse of $1,750 , $250 of which is to go-to tl
loser. The men are to weigh In at the rli :
aide at 168 pounds , and a rattling contest
assuredly forthcoming. I do not know ho
good Kcsslor is , but have always understoc
that ho Is a formidable customer , for any i

century.
The Tourist Wheelmen's annual picnic oc
curs next Sunday at Bolevuo } rlllo range.
Every member of the clyb should attend
that can and bring his' whoolnicn friends
with him.
The Omaha Wheel club will "go fishin' "
today , their run being called to the South
Bend state fisheries. A big crowd will turn
cut , no doubt , and bring homo plenty of the
finny denizens.
Helton nnd Bnrnum of the Tourist racing
team have entered in the Kansas City races
which occur on thellstVaiul 2d urox. The
Tourist colors have bee ? lucky BO far , and it
Is to bo hoped that thoj will Hash over the
tape at the city on the Knw far in advance
of their competitors.l ) "u ( )

The entertainment committee bf the Tour
ist Wheelmen .were , busy exploring the adjoining -

the club's picnic On the -7th" . ' Messrs.
Hyncs. Wertz and Sancha rambled around
nil day , but couldjlnd no iHacOjnioro attrac

Pcgau , Mulhall , Kingsloy and Smith rode
all afternoon among the hills and lakes on
tbo Iowa sldo and failed to flnd any better
place , so it is very likely the picnic will beheld
hold at Bollovue.
The great national meet of the League 01
American Wheelmen and the .Internationa
circuit meet of Chicago is over. The thou
sands of merry wheelmen who flocked to the
Windy City from every city , hamlet ana village
lago of this great land have shaken hand :
perhaps for the last time and have wendct
their several ways 'It6m6war'd , filled will
wonderment , oxperience.t happy memorio :
and tbo knowledge that they have witnesscc
seven days of. the best bicycle , raolng tha
over befell their lot to behold. It Is vor ;
doubtful if many of them ever have the op
portunlty atraln of seeing all the celebrate !
flyers together again on the same track. Ti
many there is , however , a keen disappointment
mont felt that Sanger was so injured in hi :
awful tumble that luj.was unable to try con
elusions with the woiidorful "Jcrso ;
Skector , " as Zimmerman is nicknamed
They , however , saw the speedy westerner
Johnson , ride away from the flower of Nov
England's racing talent ; saw Bliss , th
American pocket edition of Mercury , chas
the wonderful Jersoyman .to the very tape
saw the four-mlln record broken byKinseloy _
saw the big South African champion smasl
records and win tbo great sixty-mllo Interna
tlonal : saw the world's tandem recon
crumble to pieces , and saw the biggest gath
erlug of American wheelmen over gotten tc
gother ; this and many ether things of inter
cst to cyclers. The Omaha clubmen who at
tended the moot have begun to arrive and o
course are heroes of the hour at the differon
club houses. Several local clubmen wh
were not so fortunate as to got away in i tlm
for the meet will leave for the lair a bo > ut th
