THE EXPANDING PACIFIC WEST

The marvellous growth of the Paci-
tic Northwest amazes the citizen Of
the East and is a continual surprise
even to those Of the Middle West,
who are used to a fairly rapid pace
in the march of progress. The great
growth in population and in volume
of business in such centers as Spo-
kane, Portland, Tacoma, Seattle and
Vancouver that has taken place with
in the past five years, confounds the
visitor and starts him in the quest of
reasons for such development.
One of the first factors is the gra-
dual transfer of the lumber industry
from Michigan, Wisconsin and Min
nesota to Puget sound country. This
has been in progress for a decade or
more and has now reached astage
where lumber is the important indus
try of the Pacific Northwest. The
State of Washington is said to con-
tain now the largest body of white
pine timber in the world, while Brit
ish Columbia has vast resources Of
timber, of cedar, hemlock and fir.
Another factor in this movement of
western development is irrigation.
The transformation of millions of
acres of desert lands into productive
farms, bringing into the vast pur-
chasing power of many thousands Of
prosperous farmers, is SO great an ad-
dition to the country's wealth that it
staggers us when we see it's results
in the rapid growth of trading CEN
ters.
OF course we must also give due
credit to the push and energy Of these
western cities. They are in control
of the most aggressive men who have
left the East or the Middle West;
men who have more ambition than
their fellows and who are quick to
see an advantage and use it to the ut
most. In nothing is this more in evil
dence than the aggressive publicity
campaigns that are maintained. The
public interest is not allowed to lag.
but is kept keyed up to concert pitch
at all times.
The development of the immense
natural resources of Alaska is a big
item in business of the cities on the
Sound. The showing made at the
Seattle Exposition of Alaska products
gives some idea of how important.
that trade must be to the merchants
of Seattle, which is the center for
Alaska traffic Commercial WeRt.

WHEN EVERYONE KICKS.

During the last few years nearly
everyone has kicked about some ching
yet everyone has been living we'll.
There has been plenty of work at
good wages and men and women have
worked and have eaten and spent
money on luxuries galore. But some.
one thinks that matters can be made,
still better. Very we'll, if they can.
But we have some suspicious that,
also they can be made a great deal
worse. We do not believe that we
will have any ten-year period when
the people as a whole will have so
much to wear and adorn themselves,
and SO much left for luxuries and
amusements as they have had during
the past ten years. Look around you
and tell someone how there could be
more prosperity more widely distri-
buted. 1t is possible that someone is
getting more Of the prosperity than
others, but will that not always be
SO? Has it not always been so? To
prevent that you would have to cut
off the heads of two kinds OF men, the,
shrewd men sometimes so shreWd
they are rascals) and the stupid ones.
By the shrewd ones we mean the men
who spend all their time gathering
unto themselves, and by the stupid.
ones the men who have not sense
enough to save a nickle, but who
spend all they make and a little more.
