The present is teesning With possibil-
ties OF character which assures TO the
fofure unsxcepiional guarantees of
commercial prosperity and permanency
OF values n center OF industry already
established and Others to be created on
account of their natural ADVANTAGES
Ths PaSific Coast, with iss vonlerfol
varied resources and superior climatic
Influences, Is engaging the attention Of
almost every large cooperative b,iy in
the United States, because they pes-
ceive its superiority as manuf 4cturino
and distributing poiI.s to an unrea.ized
commercial trade vith ths millions Of
Asia, who ara awakening to the necss-
stiles Of exchange and adapsioa To our
more scientific methods of progress.
For the double purposs of producing
raw material for manufactures and
cereals 10 sustain n large population
this Territory occupies a prominent po-
sition IN the Northwest, aud within an
other fifty years will be one Of the most
hourishi-g and important States in tho
Union.
Peopled with the hardy and most ad-
venturous of the human race, and free
from the enervating influences of a
clouiless sun, their inteiieots will be Of
a more vigorous order aud minds more
expansive than the inhauftants OF other
sections, and will infusc that necessary
conservatism Ia politics which Is essen
tial 10 the y III being Of tie Republic.
The minds capable of concerning the
ultimate destiny Of this Northwest
territory, and who by their foresight
and energy avail themselves of its nov
primitive condition, will benefit in pro-
portion TO the zeal engaged lii the work,
and become the possessors of unlimited
wealth.
Unlike many other countries subject
TO dfouth and climatic disturbances,
there Is not an acre capable of utliiZa-
tion but when brought into use will
maintainaa a permanent value. Its in-
land sea being the distributing point of
an interior rich In mineral resources,
will give an impetus to the creation of
numerous towns for manufacturing
purposes, which in turn will distribute
their wares in every commercial center
bordering on the Pacific Ocean.
Communication with all the large
cities of the East will equalize the cost
of labor, and enable US to compete with
Eastern productions, until finally both
East and West, including the Central
States, will have merged into equal con-
ditions OF exchange, making ths anitod
efforts cf free and progressive people
the bulwark of social and scientific pro-
gress in the world. What has been
achieved in the past, and deemed by
many as an experiment, has become a
reality, favored with the most extraoi-
dinary success ever recorded IN history,
and the Republic has become so power
full for good that its moral aid alone ID
sufficient To overthrow that despotism
which led to its own growth and present
grandeur. There need, nor ought to, be
no special rivalry between towns and
cities now in existence, inasmuoh as
each place, according to its natural ad
vantages, will receive us share OF pro-
gress and increase Of values.
What San Francisco has attained by
its vast developing powers VIII be at
tanned by others, as witnessed by Port
land, Tacoma aud Seattle, of later date.
Tho last named, particularly, having
eclipsed ell the rest, when taking into
consideration the disadvantages of an
influential character under which it la
bored. Today, on every hand, can be
heard sounds of bustling aud indus
trious life. Buildings are being erected
on every hand, regardless of cost, ac-
cording to the purposes for which they
are required. Industries are being
started To supply the daily increasing
demand by consumers. and the rapid
absorption Of every class OF sbor de-
sirous Of improving their condition,
point to the pcrmanency Of present op-
srations, and more expansive and
grander future. Other evidences of 4
reliable nature might DO adduced, but
respect for your valuable space deters
