I TTTE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: JUNE 24, 190G. Features of Life and Business in the Metropolis of Puget Sound 0 o (Copyright, 190. by Frank O. Carpenter.) EATTLK. 'Wash.. June . (Spe cial Corrcspondenco of The Be.) I cam Into Seattle late Buturday night, and, before going to ray hotel, took a carriage drive up s and down Second avenue. Thin Is one of the biggest little cltlew of the United Stnte. It population Is only 160,onn. but It Is dnlns; business equal to almost any of our town of twice that size. There are more people here on the sidewalks after dark than you will see In Cleveland, Buffalo or Cincinnati! and the crowd la coamopolltan, broad minded and western. Baturday flight It aeomcd to me as though the whole towa was out or doors. econa avenue waa crowded, and the eVctrlc llghta wore ao iany that It made me think of a world's fnlr. I asked what was going on and wad told with a deprecating air that ths city was Quieter than usual. As I went on -through the streets It appeared that every thin wns wide open. It waa only a short time until Sunday, but the saloons showed, no Mgr." of closing, and the 10-cent thea ters and 25-cent operas were still runnlnc Seattle has mora cheap concerts than an town of Its six in 'the union, and one can, hare any amusement he wants and at sV most any coat for the paying. I and stand that the saloons are restricted bft . ordinance to. the main business sections, and that this keeps the repSdence quarters free from such places and thereby adds greatly to the welfare of the people. At the same time there are plenty of churches) Baptist, Presbyterian, Congregational, Episcopalian and a healthy Toung Men's Christian association. There are twenty seven Methodist churches and the Cath ollcs are strong. S A Tows of Toons; Men. I like the Seattle crowds. They are mads up of all classes and conditions of men. Thera are miners from the Klon dike who have made their piles and corns down hers to spend It; there are farmer from the wheat lands in the Big Bend country; log rollers from the forests of the Casoade; fishermen from Puget Sound, and business men ' from every stats and every part of the world. Seattle Is a town of young man. There are few gray hairs or gray beards. The crowd Is smooth shaven and the wear-andS tear of fortune making has painted wrin kles on some who would bs considered boys In the east. The country here has not yet been swallowed up by the corpora tions. There Is a chance for the Individ ual and everyone Is measured by what he can do and how he does it. Among the newcomers are the sons of many prominent men. They bring letters of Introduction and are gladly welcomed. They are well treated at the start, but if they have no business ability, push or energy they soon fall by the wayside. This is an excellent place for any man, young or old, but he must bo a man who can stand on his own feet. There Is no room for the youth with the rubber backbone, and none for him who expects to rid to fame and fortune In an automobile, softened with tires -..filled with the gas of his father's reputa tion. The first, will be doubled up and crushed by the crowd, and the machine of ths latter will be punotured by the tacks of his betters before he has gone many blocks. At ths same time the middle aged and the old must not look for respect to gray hairs. Everything here Is on a plain business basis and the only criterion is that of suocess. Ths east ly fast becom ing a land run by the sons of their fath ers. . The big trusts are crowding the brains, muscle and young blood to the west, where there Is still some chance for Individual efforts. It 1s always the cream of a country which emigrates; -and Seattle Is now getting a large part of the cream of ths states east of ths Rockies. How Seattle Grows. The people realise that they have a big thing, and their faith is strong In that Seattle will be the biggest city on the Pn clflo slope. They claim greater advantages than Portland. San Francisco and Los An geles, and as to Tacoma, Spokane and other Washington towns, they have long sines given up In despair In attempting to com pete with Seattle. Indeed, the growth has been wonderful here since the discovery of gold in the Klondike. The town was begun a half cen tury ago and there were only 30,000 names In Its city directory about six years ago. It has, as I have said, now a population of 100.000, and, with Its suburbs at Ballard and elsewhere, perhaps 20,000 more. It Is grow ing In business faster than In population. It hns big stores, which carry extraordinary stocks for a town of Its size. The rents are enormous and property is evurywhere high. On Second avenue some of the lots are worth from $1,000 to (2,000 a front foot. I heard of one lot which changed hands about a year ago for about $100, for which the owner has since been offered more than $100,000. As to rents, they are on the steady ascent. Not long ago -the Great Northern railway rented a corner room on Second avenue at $400 per month, paying a bonus of a month's rent to get the lease. The agent here waa criticised by ths officials at St. Paul for paying the bonus, whereupon he wrote them that he had an offer of $13,000 for his contract, and that if the company were not satisfied ha Birth and m E8 MOINES, Juns 18.

Bt fore the first term was over eighty students had enrolled and be fore the first year was at an end this number had been Increased to 270. This last week Drake has celebrated Its silver anniversary, one of the leading universities In ths middle west, Its attendance the last year reaching 1.6X4, Its graduating class numbering 2D0. During its twenty-five years of life Drake has had l-'.OeO students en rolled and has graduated It was in July. ltuo. that Dan'.el R. Lucas, then pastor of the Central Chris tian church of this city, and Dr. George T. Carpenter, then president of Oskaloosa college, held a conference regarding the future of Oskaloosa college, which resulted In Dr. Lucas suggesting that only a re moval to some new location and a new start could save the struggling college. His suggestions were thought over by both for several months, with the result that ons day Dr. Lucas sat down and wrote to Gen eral Francis M. Drake, later to be gov ernor of Iowa, and asked If he could as sist any in establishing a new university, to be located la Des Motnea General Drake could not watt for the malls, but tele graphed back immediately, "I can and, wlU do It. I will give fc'O.OOO. Go ahead. Druks university was bora and christened that day. Oskaloosa Gives Cp Lotas; Vlsxat.

Speaking of the Oreat Northern, It has Just Completed a tunnol under Seattle to its new depot on the water front. The tunnel runs for a mile under the chief business section, and It will land passengers right in the heart of the city at one of the finest stations of the northwest. This Is located some distance from the wharves where Jim Hill's big steamers, which ply between Seattle and J si a, land, but passenger trains will carry steamer travelers right to the docks. Indeed, one can now get on the Great Northern boats at Buffalo, and with- , out stepping off of property owned by Jim Hill and his combination can travel all the way through the Great Lakes across our continent and on to Hongkong or Manila without paying a cent to anyone outside that great combination. Rich Men of Seattle. There are plenty of rich men In this city In addition to the hundreds who think them selves on the way to fortune. Some of the largest properties are those which have grown up by the Increase in the value of the lands right in the city. Seattle was founded away back In the '60s by Oregon Some Tersely Told A Vital Point. OLONEL "PETE" HEPBURN tellsj of a lawyer prominent In Iowa who was much given to spinning metaphysical distinctions In his arguments before a Jury. c On one occasion, says Mr. Hepburn', the learned lawyer appearing as counsel for plaintiff offered such an abstruse explana tion of the difficulty' giving rise to the suit under trial that the Jury was soon hope lessly befuddled. At this Juncture counsel for the defend ant took a hand, telling a story to the Jurors that resulted in the discomfiture of his opponent. "The learned counsel for the plaintiff," began the opposing lawyer, "who Is so suc cessful, as a rule. In getting away with his fine-spun distinctions, reminds me of an other eminent lawyer of this stats who was once retained in the defense of a man who shot a neighbor's dog. The proof was clear that defendant had said he would shoot the dog; that he brought out his gun in broad daylight and loaded it; that he took delib erate aim at the dog, and that at the crack of the rifle the dog fell dead with a bulet hole through him. "But the eminent lawyer contended that this was an instance of merely circumstan tial evidence and that In such cases It was a settled principle that If a single link were wanting In the chain the whole evidence was worthless. Although there was proof of the threat, the loading of the gun, the firing and the death of the dog, 'yet,' con cluded the eminent lawyer, 'what witness has testified that he saw the bullet hit tlie dog?' " , The Jury was so Impressed by this tale, concludes Mr. Hepburn, that they soon re turned a verdict against the "fine-spun" lawyer. Harper's Weekly. Aa Echo Alarm Clock. President Murphy of the Chicago Na tional league club told at a base ball dinner a remarkable echo story. "There was a man," he began, "who had a country house Development of and luck, but Oskaloosa fought to retain It. Slowly but surely the movement to start all over again gained ground. Dr. Lucas reported his success at the next Iowa ministerial Institute meeting and then, resigning hla pastorale, spent two years upbuilding the young university. Today hs Is pastor of the largest Christian church In Indianapolis, returning to Des Moines to be one . of the principal figures at ths silver anniversary of the university. la September, 18SL Oskaloosa College was T7TB LATH GEi'TTR At, FRANfTS MARION DRAKE. fvK WHOM TUlfl UMlYJOtSITX IM KJlUUSK ) 3: is 9P-' BTJBITTKS8 STREET IN flWATTLTa parties, five men from that state building cabins here. They took out homesteads In tho woods on the edge of the Round and began to cut down the trees where the city now stands. Some of that property is a 111 Owned by their descendants and is worth millions. One of the men was named Ycs ler and his estate is valued. I am told, at over $2,000,000. Two of the other first set tlers were named Denny, and the Denny families are now said to have something Uke $20,000,000 worth of real estate. While I was In Seattle, about thirteen years ago, Arthur Denny, one of the ortg Inal founders, had his home In the center of a big lot right" in the heart of Seattle. This lot Is now covered with business build ings, but at' that time It was devoted to his residence, and he allowed his blooded Jersey cow to feed upon the lawn. Upon being urged to sell the place for business purposes he replied: "I can't do it, for If I sell where can I pasture my cow?" That cow pasture of thirteen years ago was .worth $760,000. What Its value is to day I do not pretend to say, but It runs high Into the millions. Henry Yesler, one of the builders of Seattle, established a saw mill here years ago, and in connection with It bought lands In the Catskllls. He was showing a visitor over his grounds one day and. coming to a hilly place, said: " 'There's a remarkable echo here. If you stand under that rock and shout, the echo answers four distinct times, with an In terval of several minutes between answers.' "But the visitor' was not at all Impressed. He said, with a loud laugh: " 'You ought to hear the echo at my place In Sunapee. Before going to bed at night I stick my head out of the window and shout, 'Time to get up, William!'" and the echo wakes me at 7 o'clock sharp the next-' morning.' "Cincinnati Tribune. Commercial lie Ran for Lawyer. A man from Pennsylvania went to Vine land on a business errand. The town was strange to him and he was unacquainted with the man (a lawyer) he had gone to see. The directions he received were so in definite that he found himself on the edge of the town without having come to the house he sought. Then he met an old negro and asked the way of him, and learned that the house lay about a quarter of a mile farther down the road. "The man I want to see is a lawyer," he said to the old man. "Is this Mr. Dash down the roud a lawyer?" "He ain't no lawyer that I ever heard tell of," answered the negro. "You're sure?" The old negro scratched his head In deep thought. Then a gleam of remembrance lighted his eye. "Now I think of It, boss," he said, '"pears like I do recollect he ran for lawyer one time." New York Times. Deflnes the Court's Doty. A. G. Jewett, lawyer, politician and man of sarcastic wit, was once trying a case In the supreme court at Belfast, Me., his home city. The Judge presiding, before being called to the bench, had tried many cases against Jewett, who did not entertain a very high opinion of his ability. In his closing argument Jewett, In de- removed to Des Moines and began its ex istence, with never-flagging success.

In addition to these there are here now mining kings from the Klondike, the tim ber kings of our northwest, men who have made money in grain exporting, some who have grown rich in real eBtate tradincr, and others who have made fortunes in mer chandising of various kinds. Seattle Is fast putting on the clothes of a b!g city. It re cently built a sky-scraper called the Alaska building, which would not be out of pluce In the heart of Chicago. It is a steel struc ture covered with Milwaukee brick. It has fourteen stories, it cost $4,000,000 and is said to pay a fair interest on the Invest ment. Vps and Downs of Seattle. Seattle Is a city of ups and downs. It has more hills than Rome, and its best houses stand on a number of long ridges which rise above Pudget sound to three fifths of the height of the Washington mon ument. . The hills give a diversity oi city architecture and also, I am told, an enor mous leg development on the part of the citizens. I have not Inquired as to the average size of garter worn, but I venture It surpasses that of any city of the union. The Chicago girls are noted for their large feet, and the Seattle girls well, the climate Tales Both Grim fiance of the rules of the court, started In to read some law to the Jury. The court pounded on the' bench and said: "Mr. Jewett, you must not read law to the Jury in your closing argument." Jewett kept on reading, without so much as a glance at the court. The court, In thunder ous tones, ordered him to stop. Jewett, who had by this time read all he intended to read, turned calmly to the Judge and said: "Did your honor address me?" "I said," roared the Judge, "you must not read the law to the Jury. In your closing argument. I will give the law to the Jury. What do you suppose the court is here for?" "What Is the court here for?" responded Jewett. in high falsetto. "I suppose you know, sir. to keep order, with the aid of the sheriff,' sir, with all due respect to the sheriff, sir." Boston Herald. The Smallest She Had. A conductor on the O'Fallon park division of the St. Louis & Suburban railway had uch a good run of- business Sunday after noon that he had difficulty In keeping him self supplied with small change. 'Many persons who patronized his car handed him dollars and bills of larger denominations in payment of their fares. The conductor, however, managed to get along fairly well until a woman, carrying a tiny Infant, boarded his car. When h ap proached the woman for her- fare aho handed him a $5 bill. "Is that the smallest you have, madam?" queried the conductor, fearing another stringency In change. , The woman looked at the conductor and then at her baby, and made this surprising reply: "Yes; I have been married onlv twelvo months."

They now have some thing like 200 miles of graded and Improved streets, and altogether there are enough streets ,and avenues here to reach from New York almost to Chicago If they were stretched out end to end. Seventy miles of improved . pavements have i been . added within the lust four years, and within that time the city has , put down twenty-five miles of asphalt roadway and more than 130 miles of concrete sidewalks. Seattle owns its own water system and It has one of the best. In the country. Its water comes from the Cedar river, which Is fed by the Cascade mountains, and Its purity is protected by the ownership of vast areas of land comprised within the watershed. The water comes about forty there Is enough water to generate 30.000 mlles from the head works to the city and horse power. About two-thirds of this is man passed whom Mr. Cushman seized by the arm and presented to his friend:. "This la the man,", said Cushman, confi dentially, "who has written mors stupidi ties than any other living person.' The man from Washington was so taken back by the remark, which appeared to .him to be the height of Impoliteness, that he sat In open-mouthed silence. The man In troduced, however, took the observation good-naturedly, smiling broadly. "Perhaps I should add." continued Cush man, "that this gentleman Is . one of .ths official stenographers of the house." Har- per's Weekly. At Ions Distance. An old farmer was skeptical as to whether people who were miles apart could really talk to each other over a telephone wire. One day hla wife went to make a visit to a distant friend who had a telephone in her house. During the afternoon the farmer visited a near neighbor, who also boarted a house telephone, and who persuaded the farmer to call up his wife as a little sur prise. . Following instructions ' he put the re ceiver to his ear and, after the usual pre liminaries, he shouted: "Hello. Jane!" Just then, a flash of .lightning caused by the heat of the summer day struck the wire and ho fell sprawling to the floor. The neighbor was chagrined that the old man should meet with such an accident on his first trial of a telephone, and assured him that such a thing would not happen ex cept In case of storms. But the farmer was convinced of the possibilities of com munication, however, and would not try again. He rose to his feet and, shaking his head knowingly, said: "It's wonderful! That waa Jane, all right." Ladies' Home Journal. Talking; on the Unlet. A newspaper editor In a certain western town waa expressing his pleasure over ths latest exposure.

The Pugot Sound Power company has a power plant on the Puynllup river, about forty miles from Seattle, which was put la complete operation about two years ago. This plant can supply JO.OOO-hors power, and the "Juice" Is carried forty miles t Seattle. It operates the street railway systems of Seattle and Tacoma, and also a line between the two cities. , Indeed, the water powers of this whols country are being rapidly developed. Men are going about through the mountains prospecting for them as they formerly prospected for gold mines and coal mines, and the probability is that they will eventually make more out of the water than out of the coal. One of the shrewdest examples of power utilisation I have seen Is that of a big lumber and pinning mill In one of the Washington towns. This mill had a large amount of power, which It used during the daytime, but not at night. An enterprising follow made a contract for the use of the power at night, and then sent In bids to tho city to furnish its electric, lights. His offer was accepted, and he Is now making, so I am told, a small fortune In . lighting the town with the mill power. Pnaet Sound Lumber Indaatry. Seattle Is doing a great deal of manu facturing. It has over 1,400 Industrial es tablishments, making products of $06,000,000 a, year. . A large . number of these have been established since 1900 and they are all growing In size. There are now big rolling . mills, cordage works, shipbuilding plants and a large number of sawmills. Other sawmills ars scattered at different places s ong Puget sound, and there are in ths state something like 900 which are mnklng lumber and shingles. The lumber industry la more Important than any other. It Is now giving employment to mors than 80,000 men and it pays out wages annually amounting to $20,000,000.' The quantity of timber, used approximates $.000,000,000 feet per annum, and a vast amount of finished lumber, as well as logs, are sent out by rail and steamer. More than l.SOO.000,000 feet were shipped In 1904, the amount being almost equally divided by steamer and car. The state of Washington Is now sending out by rail between 40,000 and 60,000 carloads of lumber and something like 36,000 car loads of shingles every twelve months. 1 Washington Shlndes. Indeed, these Puget sound shingles ar now used all over the country. Ths first carload was sent east In 1887. Since then the rails have been kept hot with them and they are now furnishing one-third of all ths shingled roofs of the United States. These shingles are of cedar; they are far superior to pine and will last for a generation or more. I have seen cedar logs clasped la the roots of great trees which have grown up over them, notwithstanding which ths log was still undecayed. Ths lumber and shingle mills of this part of ths world havs the most modern ma-' chlnery. Man presses ths buttons and water, steam and electricity do the rest. The logs, som single ones of which are large enough to load a car, are brought to the shores of Puget sound and thrown Into the water. They ars pushed along to tho mills and from that time on ars so twisted and turned by machinery that they como out In shingles, flooring, sash, doors and other kinds of finished lumber, with tho minimum amount of human work.
