"EALTHY boom days are on in
i all that great territory known
as the Puget Sound country. 1t
Is not a boom in the sense in which
the word is ordinarily used, meaning
a speculative advance in the price of
real estate, or the influx of countless
people seeking an elusive opportunity
to acquire sudden wealth. Instead of
this it is healthy boom. One that
results in the building of substantial
city buildings, in providing profitable
markets for the agriculturists, in the
Opening of new steamship and rail-
road lines and in providing lucrative
employment for an increasing popu-
lation.
And the reasons for this are nu-
merous, one of which is that America
has found new market in the far
east. and has found a short and eco
nomicaI way of reaching that market
is through the ports bordering Puget
Sound. This has brought healthy
boom that will last.
