or. at the rata.-pf sS.3 per cent. The
out OF the Tacoma lumber mills In
1908 was greater than the cut Of 1900
by 1T ,764,666 feet, or nearly double
act percentage OF Increase In Tacoma's
lumber cut in three years Is 96.6 per
cent, while the increase in the output
of shingles was at the rate of "a per
cent, and in the value Of the product
of the lumber and single mills of this
city was $2,5s2,4a1, or at the rate Of
1903 per cent.
These remarkable increases in the
output of the Tacoma lumber mills
have kept Tacoma first and foremost
among the lumber ,manufactu turing
cities Of the state, and Tacoma Is now
abreast of Portland, Ore, which, until
1903, was the undisputed leader
among the lumber manufacturing
cities Of the Pacific coast.
At the rate Of increase the Tacoma
mills have shown In the last three
years, the city will soon become the
first lumber manufacturing city, not
only on the Pacific. coast, but in the
| world.
A long list Of industries has de-
| velOped at Tacoma as consequence
| Of its pre-eminence as the lumber
mart OF the state. Among them are
planning mills, sash, door and blind
factories.
| The second largest manufacturing
plant in Tacoma, which is also the
| largest plant Of it's description in the
| Pacific northwest, is the car construc-
ton and repair plant Of the North
ern Pacific railway at South Tacoma
| This enormous plant furnishes en-
| ployment for 500 men. Adjoining is
large plant of the Griffin Car Vince
| works, and not far distant from South
Tacoma is the largest rolling mill in
| the state, the plant of the Western
Iron and Steel works at Lakeview
Allied to this class of Industrial enter

g No more pertinent and convincing
record of Tacoma's business activities
and substantial growth could be- fur
nished than is to be found In a. state
:ment Of bank clearings. During 1908
the clearings reached the unprece-
denied total Of $10O,474,164.O8, an in
crease over 1902 Of $24,734,323.78, or
at the rate Of 1927 per cent. Tacoma
increase in bank clearings for 1903 is
greater in volume and in the percent
age Of increase than Is shown in the
bank clearings Of any other city in the
Tacoma's increase Of $24,734,323.7
Portland's clearings increased s20,-
and @Seattle's r$15,027,54s.40.
OF 108 cities in the United States and
Canada whose bank cleartngs are re-
ported in the leading financial journals
Of the country, there are only two or
three whose ratio Of increase for
1903 equals that of Tacoma. 2.
1T is interesting to note that Taco
mas bank clearings have increased
steadily and without any retrogression
since 1897, when the business depres-
sion following the panic Of 1893 was
greatest. a. - -,
postoffice for 1903 amounted to $685.
$500, an increase over the receipts
for 1902 Of 81, 429.94, or at the rate
Of 1873 per cent. Tacoma's postoffice
receipts have increased at the rate of
1872 per, cent since January l. 1900,
and this fact, taken in connection with
other indications Of growth is a sig
population. SO far as it goes It more
than rjustif1es; the, belief that Tacoma
has not less than $4,000 population.

Tacoma is the home port of the
Northern Pacific Steamship company
which operates it's three American
steamships in the Tacoma Oriental
trade. The China Mutual Steamship
company and the Ocean Steamship
Company, Ltd, maintain a joint serv-
ice between Tacoma and Liverpool
and Glasgow, by way Of the orient and
suez canal route, a large steamship
sailing every % days. Tacoma is
also the principal Puget Sound termi-
nal of the Kosmos line operating be-
tween Puget sound, San Francisco and
Hamburg by way of Mexican, Central
| and South American ports. >@.Mjaf e
From fifteen to forty ocean carriers
are to be found discharging or loading
season. The lumber and wheat traf-
fc brings hundreds Of sailing vessels
| to this port every year. Tacoma's
| harbor IS large enough to shelter all
the shipping Of the Pacific. ~
Unequaled Wheat Shipping Facilities
Tacoma's facilities for the handling
| of wheat are unequaled at any other
port in the world. The new wheat
warehouses erected in 1900 and 1901
on the city waterway are the longest
in the world, being 1900 feet in length
and 14S feet in width. There are also
two enormous grain elevators and two
large flour mills on the waterfront
Tacoma's facilities for exporting
wheat and flour are so extensive that
! in October, 1902, no less than twenty
five wheat carriers were loaded and
dispatched and the exports Of the
month included upwards Of 100000
! bushels Of wheat and 100000 barrels
/ of flour. -. --.-a.
Tacoma is now the leading wheat
and flour shipping port on the Pacific
coast, and the customs district OF
Puget sound, of which Tacoma is the
! leading port, now ranks fourth in the
United States in both wheat and f1ou,
exports and fourth also in the COM

During the year ending June, 1908
i Puget sound exported 1928, 900 bush

First in Oriental Commerce.
F. Tacoma's ocean commerce exceeds
in magnitude and value that s., of
every other port on the Pacific coast
commerce it is first on the Pacific
coast. The only port on the coast
which has the necessary facilities in
the matter Of railway terminals,
docks, warehouses and depth of
water to accommodate Hills new
steamers is Tacoma and no prepare
tons are being made at any. other
port.
The facilities in this port now can
easily handle the outgoing and incom-
ing cargoes of the 30,0OO-ton freight
lcarriers. No other port can get
ready for them within two years and
must, first expend millions Of dollars.
The government statistics show that
1871 per cent of the exports to Alaska
last year from the United States went
from the port Of Tacoma, and that
nearly one-haf Of : the exports from
Alaska to the United States come to
the port Of Tacoma. This is due to
the fact that Tacoma has the largest
smelter on the Pacific coast at tide
| water and numerous boats which
bring ore are loaded back with mer-
chandise. During the last three years
the domestic exports Of the four prin-
cipal ports were as follows: -

- The cost ton for the handling of
heavy cargoes and the transfer Of car
goes from rail to boat and vice versa
is less in Tacoma than anywhere else
in the United States: There is such
large area suitable for building resi-
dences and also for the erection of
business blocks that land has always
been cheap. The cost Of living Is con-
siderably less and this has attracted
the laborer and mechanic.
- Tacoma's Advantage.

the candidates for the Seattle city
that CITY, illustrates the tremendous
advantage which Tacoma has as q
manufacturing center and economical
place of residence. H. G. Gill was the
Candidate in question, and in. an ad-
dress at the Renton Hill clubhouse

an issue in this campaign. But T want
