REASONS WHY TACOMA WILL BE THE GREATEST RAILWAY TERMINAL ON PACIFIC COAST
fX*ACOMA is western headquarters and chief coast terminus cf the Northern Pacific Railway and headquarters and western
* terminus of the Tacoma Eastern Railroad, the only lino to Mount Tacoma. Seven additional railroads are now
building to Tacoma, where their largest rail and ocean terminals have boon secured at a cost of many millions of dollars
w{ The Seattle Sunday Times, of February 10, 1907, tells why these railroads are making Tacoma their cheif Pacific coast
terminal point, in the following words : “ Because Tacoma is the gateway to the Orient; the gateway to Alaska ; the outlet
for the millions of bushels of grain raised in the Inland Empire:—the greatest granary in the world ; the outlet for the
products manufactured from the trees of the vast primeval forests thereabouts, as well as the immense deposits of rich min
erals taken from the mountains rising on all sides ; and, not least, because of its splendid location at the head of navigation
on Puget Sound, having the finest deep-water barber in the world and unlimited facilites for railroad termin; and manu
facturing sites.” *[ These are some of the reasons why the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul, the Harriman and other trans
continental lines have purchased large tracts of land in and aronnd Tacoma for Terminal facilities, and why capitalists are
buying thousands of acres for platting, as well as business and residence property in Tacoma. «[ There is a big demand for
real estate in all parts of Tacoma. % Prices are low, and thousands of dollars are being made by people in all walks of life.
