The franchise gave the company the right to conduct steam, hot water, gas ii!:(j electricity to that pari of Seattle between Madison on the south. Pine on the north, Railroad Avenue on the west and Fifth Avenue on tlie east. This represents an area of about a hair I„JI(, square. I luring the past twelve months the company lias erected ;; substantial brick power station •adjacent to th,. Diamond lee Company's plant on Western Avenue, and has installed a model plant, which has no equal on the Pacific slope for completeness of equipment and economy of space. Ihe power station dimensions an 75x66 'eet. built upon a heavy concrete foundation. steel columns braced hv Iron girders support the roof and make the structure practically fire proof. •lie machinery and boilers in the station arc the verj latest approved styles. The boilers are Babcoch ft Wilcox water tube with super heaters, with Qreen'8 economizer and Sturtivant's In duced draft apparatus. Connected with the boilers are Babcock & Wilcox's automatic stokers. These stokers are a gr< smoke consumers. Incidentally it might be stated that this Is the flrst smoke-consuming plant in Seattle. The automatic Sfokers attract many visitors and the simple method of operation commends them to all who are acquainted with coal burning. The mechanism of the stokers consists of an endless belt of [ron links turning over live rollers. The coal hoppers let down the coal on this '"•It, thus forming .a coal bed. This belt travels at the rate of three-fourths of an inch per minute across the firebox, and during its passage the coal is converted into heat. As the endless belt turns over rollers at the farther side of the Ore box, the lew ashes and clinkers are dumped into a hopper, Which automatically throws them into a stream of running water flowing into the li;,v In tin course Of a day over a carload of coal is used by the plant, hut not a clinker nor ash is handled by human bands, so perfect is the system. In the dynamo rooms are large engines and dynamos driven at a high rate of speed. These machines are working to their capacity, but *<> great is the demand for light and power that the •wing Automata company is considering the advisability of at once installing three times as many machines as are now running. This increase ot plant can he made wthout necessitating another station be ing built, BO economically has space been used. \t the present time the company furnishes power and light to over forty business blocks within its territory, and the growing demand warrants the company in enlarging the plant. The Diamond ice and Storage Company has been before 'he public f(ll. t]1(, ,)ast ten years, and during that time it has been necessary to increase the plant from a small five- ton daily capacity until at the present time the plant manu factures sixty tons daily of its celebrated Diamond lee. The business ot llie company is not merely local, but cov ers neatly every town and village on Puget Sound, extending as far north as Ketchikan. Alaska. The Diamond people manufacture what is known as "plate ice." This ice is free from any -cone" or "core." such as is generally found in artificial ice. The ice is frozen at a tem perature much lower than necessary, which makes the ice less susceptible to atmospheric changes. Two artesian wells on the company's property supply pure water for the frozen product. Especial care is taken to main tain a high standard of purity of the ice. and for this reason there Is a huge demand for the company's product. In connection with the ice plant a cold storage system is operated. Here is to be found any degree of temperature de sired. In the fall of the year the important part of the business is fish freezing. The product is shipped east and to many for eign marts, and the increasing demand makes further enlarge ment of the plant a necessity. Dynamo Koom and Switchboard. THE SEATTLE MAIL AND HERALD.

The company operated the famous steamer Greyhound on the Seattle-Everett route for a number of years, but the increased business on that route made it necessary to put on a larger and better appointed boat. The new boat was christened the "City of Everett." This trim steamboat is the embodiment of perfection for short runs. Three regular trips daily is the schedule for the white flyer and each trip is extensively patronized by the traveling public. Under the management of Mr. E. B. Scott this route has become very popular and the steady increase of business ! has warranted the company in beginning the construction of another Sound boat to be completed during the coming sum mer. The new boat will surpass even, if possible, the City of Everett in appointments.

Dr. Wagoner spent two years in San Salvador, in the practice of his profession, and then took a post graduate course at Chicago. He came to Seattle in the winter of 1897. Since his arrival in this city he has become interested quite extensively in Seattle realty and is a firm believer in Seattle's great future. He is also interested in Alaska fisheries, having just been elected president of the Alaska Shell Fishery Company with a capital of $500,000.00. UP-TO-DATE DENTAL PARLORS Among Seattle's professional men Dr. S. R. Wag oner occupies a high place. Dr. Wagoner came to Seattle five years ago to practice dentistry. From the start the Doctor has been very successful in this city, and about a year ago he moved his offices to 216-18 Globe Block, where he has a suite especially adapted for the practice of his profession. At the present time he has two assistants, but even with this help the Doc tor is one of the busiest men in the city.
