"You must have heard this before, Mr..

ocean, causing a much greater ralnfan
over the western portion than is found
In the eastern part Of the state. The
western section is interested in two
great industries, numbering and ship
ping. The development and pursuit Of
these lines have resulted In the build
ing of two promising cities, Seattle
and Tacoma, having a population Of
approximately 100000 and 10000 re-
spectively. On the other hand, eastern
Washington, while interested to GER
tain extent In numbering, has no ship
ping industry, but Is decidedly inter
ested in agriculture. The development
Of its Industrial lines, together with
certain interests Of northern Idaho, has
built up a central distributing point,
Spokane, having a population OF some
81, 5000. The one section is Interested In
the improvement Of harbors and ship
ming facilities, while the other is inter
ested in the building and improvement
OF roads and securing for itself the
means Of transporting its products ell
ther toward the coast to be handled by
ocean commerce or toward the east to
be distributed by the various railroad
systems.
