Tacoma people are becoming
alarmed over the large vote in Con
gress in favor of revoking unearned
railroad land grants. Seattle is
chuckling over her past effort to keep
herself independent of railroads, and
both towns are stirring themselves to
achieve commercial supremacy
whether railroads favor them or not.
What is possible for Selttle and
Tacoma in this line, is even elsier for
Port Townsend, because of our supe-
rior natural advantages. But we can
do but little unless we wake up and
stir ourselves. A live board of trade
here would make things move.
