Chas. E. Miller of this place is sojourning on the Sound for the health and pleasure of himself and new wife. They arrived at New Tacoma a week ago last Sunday. Mr. Miller gives a glowing account of the present appearance and future prospect of the town. There is about two hundred new buildings going up among which are probably 25 new store buildings, four new churches and a new court house. More than as much again more building would have been done this summer but for the fact that lumber could not be had. The location of the town is on a hillside and quite rough. The main street is about a mile long, and the town has about 2000 inhabitants. They have no fire company except a Hook & Ladder Co.
