Along the Seattle & International.

The country through which this road runs is a hot-bed of shingle mills, saw mills and logging camps. In fact, the country is heated by exhaust steam. The railroad is giving good service, with two passenger trains daily each way and several freight trains. The amount of business offered keeps them all busy to prevent the freight from accumulating. At the present time several large mills are in the process of construction and more are contemplated in the near future. The management of this road has always been deservedly popular. General Manager Miller takes a broad view of its affairs and looks beyond the present hour. His policy is to build up the saw mill and shingle industry along the line and not at its terminals.
He is an excellent advocate of the dairy business and is working assiduously to build up that industry. H. E. Danz, the general freight and passenger agent, is a strong lieutenant in all that pertains to the good of the road and its patrons. In popular parlance he is "all right."
