Seattle Has Her Opportunity.

Seattle Has Her Opportunity.
An opportunity is at last afforded for
Seattle to set forth clearly its advan-
tages as a port OF departure for the
Philippine transport service, and for
the location of a depot Of supplies for
the quartermasters department. Mai.
Bird has been ordered here by the war
department to make an investigation OF
the facilities afforded by Seattle. and on
his report the decision OF the depart
ment viii quite likely be based.
The more obvious advantages of Sc
attic will speak for themselves, such
as the fact that this county produces
the necessary coal to supply all the
transports, and that the facilities for
coaling are unsurpassed by any port on
the Coast. The, special facilities afford
ed by the number of railroads here are
equally obvious, although no harm
would be done by calling especial at
tention again to this feature The ease
of transferring freight from the rail-
roads to the steamers is apparent at
a glance. and no doubt the quartermas-
ter's department is already aware Of
the fact that on the great circle route
Seattle is several hundred miles nearer
Manila than is San Francisco.
These several obvious advantages
ought in themselves to be sufficient TO
warrant the department in selecting Sc
attic as the port Of departure for the
Philippines. But to this can be added.
IL our commercial bodies bestir them
selves to make the showing which the
facts will warrant that merchants here
are as well prepared to furnish quarter
masters and commissary stores as
those of any city on the Coast, not ex-
cepting San Francisco. and could prob
ably meet emergency demands more
quickly
Meeting sudden and unexpected
rush, the merchants Of Seattle succeed
ed In equipping some thirty thousand
men with all food, clothing and other
supplies for years sojourn in the Arc
tic regions of the Yukon and Klondike;
promptly seized that trade from
all competitors. and have ever since re-
tained their supremacy. with equal
promptness they can prepare them
selves to meet any demands which the
government might make upon them.
should the transport service make this
its point of departure. Nor should IL
be forgotten that one OF the best dry
docks in the world lies distant but a
few miles across the bay. and that Sc.
attic has one OF the finest shipbullding
plants in the country. a plant which il
prepared and equipped to build cruiser
for the government. and which has al
ready turned out one Of the finest tor.
pedo boats which the navy possesses
and one OF the best government tug
boats ever launched. Repairs can be
made here as promptly and oheapiy as
anywhere. Add TO this that large
share OF the forage which has gone 20
Manila Is the product of Washington
farms. and that from the eastern part
OF the state all the cavalry regiments
could be remounted. IN case Of need,
and the arguments in favor OF Seattle
become irresistible.

This will add some s25.oOooOO to out
