City of Seattle Records

entire population of the city prior to 1888. A better showing cannot be made by any other city in this or any other country.

It is not probable that so great a ratio of gain can be maintained in the future, but it is probable, almost certain in fact, that one-half so great a ratio can be maintained during the remaining years of the Nineteenth Century. If this is done, and no more, Seattle in 1900 will be a city of fully 250,000 people.
