He said
1T is needless to be informed OF the pro-
gress of this important body since its
organization. have addressed many pub
lie bodies at home and abroad bat never
have STOOD before more intelligent body
than this one | am now addressing-and
this Is not fisttery
-Four years ago brought 4 little money
to the Sound. and after looking around l
decided no better place could be found for
investment than Seattle. The city was
then in an embarrassed condition and had
no railroad connection, its only service be-
ing the little Seattle. Lake shore & East
ern. There was even no immediate prom
ise Of q transcontinental railway. There
was. however. q promise of the inherent
greatness of the city and there was great
army of men employed. l said then this
was point where large city would rise
rapidiy-and il was. | am enthusiastic
over Seattle, because you know where q
mans money Is there his hes ri is also. All
Of 500 of Waila Wallp money Is invested
here.
Zone year ago II was with sorrow that l
beheid the city Of Seattle in ashes. Still
did not lose faith in its ambition, push, or
future. still believe 1t will be great city
and even dazzle San Francisco. Seattle
will not only be the Queen City of the
Sound but the Queen City of the Pacific
ocean.
Il came here particularly as the repre-
sentative of Walla Walia, which is not sit
uafed on the main line. but Is shut out.
We have. however. lots of backbone and
We propose to have an excursion from
Seattle and Tacoma about June
IL to Walla Walla. The Northern
Pacific has kindly granted us the low rate
OF $40 per ticket and hope to get 200 ex-
cursionists 70 20 up there and see the val
ley in all Its beauty. You will have two
weeks for the visit apd have time to see the
races as well. ! want you to help US IS .
body to make the excursion success.
I'VE have boundless wheat lands there
and We want TO ship that wheat from Sc
attic and We want you to assist in making
Seattle the shipping point for our fresh
crops and we want your trade instead of
having you buying the withered stuff of
California.
We want you TO 60 up there to enthuse
our business men and We will bring down
some of our mossbacks that you may in
fuse some life into them. We want to ex-
change products. We want to stand be-
hind you. II Walia Walla and Seattle will
work together they can beat the world
II thank the members of this body for
their attention and also desire to thank
the public journals of Seattle for their assist
ance in presenting the claims of WaIla
| Walla."
