Town Grows At a In the brief
time since Sew
Fhenomcnal Rate ard came into
being a£ a town,
its growth rivals that of .Seattle in the
early eighties, [t lias every accessory
: of modern civilization, including the
public school, the hospital, the church,
the daily newspaper, the telephone,the
i electric light, water works, and com
mercial houses engaged in every branch
of business. Best of all. it bus a hardy,
vigorous, intelligent citizenship—the
kind who do the substantial things of
life.
To some it may appear an extrava
gance to say that people now living
will see at Seward one of the half
dozen largest cities on the Pacific
Coast. The same people in Is.HO would
have pronounced it impossible for
Seattle to attain a population exceed-!
I ing 10.000 or 12,000 by 1905, as a great !
j many at that time did. I remember j
the time very well, for as a child II
came to Washington with my parents ,!
in 1879. Seattle was then a ragged
settlement on the fringe of impenetra
in*- forests. It. had no electric lighting
paint, no water works, no daily news
paper, as Seward has today. Seattle
iti |s80 was farther from the centers of
population, several times over, meas
ured in time of travel, than Seward is
in 1905.
