A Wide Awake City

Ellensburgh Register: The Editorial
Press Association OF the state Is in ses-
sion this week at Fairhaven. The annual
conventions OF these men are mutually
beneficial. That the newspaper men Of
this state are earnest, bright and fully
abreast of the times. cannot be coniro-
verted, and that the discussion Of such a
body OF meu will tend TO the upbuilding
aud progress OF journalism will be read
lily admitted. The place OF meeting has
been well chosen and the wide-awake
progressive citv OF Fairhaven will
see that the quill-drivers ar properly
cared for. An excursion to Alaska or to
some neighboring state or to the Ha-
waiian islands. would be a move in the
right direc ion.

Everybody Pleased

From a column article In the Anacortes
Progress of the 9th the following para
graph is clipped: IF our friends In Fair
haven had attempted to capture the whole
press OF this state. were such thing pos
sible, they could not have gone about 1t
more wisely than they did by their lavish
hospitality. As IL Is they have splendidly
advertised the advantages Of their hand
some city, and sent everybody home
pleased with himself and at friends with
the whole world"
On the day before the Progress HAD a
two column article on the proceedings,
brilliantly written and very compliment
airy to Fairhaven.

TWO SIDES no m

The Whatcom Express says in one
paragraph this:
An east OF the mountain editor said he
noticed that there were no wooden shacks
with one layer of bricks on the outside in
New and Old Whatcom as in Fairhaven.
but what there was constructed were
solid and substantial and showed no boom
town.
Then in another paragraph the same
very enterprising journal says:
Not a step has yet been taken by the
city of Whatcom 10 provide fire limits To
afford protection TO the enterprising citi-
zens who by erecting business houses have
made IL possible for merchants TO do bust
ness. improved the appearance of the city
and made the property of non-improyers
valuable. A large amount Of the non-im-
proved property isowned by men well able
To build. who have become wealthy bv no
enterprise of their own, but bv the sub
stantial works OF their neighb0rs. and IL
would be no more than justice to the
enterprising citizens and rebuke To
mossbackism TO establish fire limits.
Passing over the pusilanimousness of
one. who as a guest could go 10 a
neighbor and offer invidous ISLANDERS
of his host, il would seem that the Ex-
press proves itself somewhat incon-
sistent in the matter of substantial
buildings in Whatcom as compared
with Fairhaven. The latter place
has at least established fire limits.
