More Factories!
More PayrOllS!!
More SmOke!!!

That's what we need here in Seattle That's
what every Western city needs Too many
millions of Coast money are being sent East
every year for materials than can be made ON this
Coast just as we'll as on the other side OF the
Mississippi River
Take the matter OF iron and steel. During
the year 1909 this Coast will send East
100000 for manufactured iron and steel and
will pay the transcontnental railroads Sls000000
in freight charges for hauling it ont here These
vast sums total SSo0OoO00 In 1910 Eastern iron
and steel will cost the Coast SSSo000O0, The
consumption here is steadily increasing at an
average annual rate OF 10 per cent
This tremendous drain OF money 10 the East
is entirely unnecessary, Better steel can be made
on Puget Sound than at any other point in the
United States, Tor the reason that the iron ores
here are of the highest grade in the country.
Seattle men few years ago believed that
they could build a battleship, and they did build
a battleship. Seattle men four years ago be-
lieved they could hold big exposition here, and
they did hold IT, Seattle men now believe that
they can make every variety OF iron and steel
right at home. and they will make il. Things
are being done here every year that were never
done before It's the Seattle way.
The Western Steel Corporation, with head
offices in Seattle. will ere long open its first
eompetely-equipped steel plant at IRONDAf.E
The first plant will be followed by other and
greater plants The enormous drain Of Coast
money to the East for iron and steel will be
gradually diminished The industrial map OF the
West will be changed. IRONDALE will become
the greatest manufacturing city west OF the
Mississippi
People have come for hundreds OF miles 20

tie. Why don't you 20 to see it2 We have
popular excursion tickets to IRONDALE in our

week of December 20, seems to be scor-
ing heavily everywhere through the south.
Here Is a sample of the praise from the
Raleigh On. CO News and Observer:
THAT 1t was an attraction in reality
the verdict of a delighted audience gave
proof. 1t Is a performance that has the
benefit of artistic stage setting, the scenes
laid out west lending aid to this. The
company rejoices in having a chorus of
good looking young women who know
how to sing and who do this clearly
with some real good dancing as another
feature. The music was worth while,
some of the airs being of the kind that
get whistling popularity. Two numbers
especially made hits, the Stage Coach
and The Panama Girl each presented at
tractively. the Stage Coach embellish-
ment being especially good.
An announcement of Importance is the
early appearance here at the Jefferson

Mr.. Below is coming direct from his
Hudson theatre success in New York,
which engagement he closed last Saturday

BIGGER ATTENDANCE
 AT CAMP PERRY
SECRETARY OF WAR WILL BE
 THERE.

Washington, D. C.. July 1S.-(Spec- ial Core spondence of The Republi- canD-Those who propose to attend the rifle matches at Camp Perry, Ohio. this year will be interested in knowing that a larger attendance of visitors is promised than at any pre- ccding match. Secretary of War Dickinson, himself a good shot with both the military. rifle and the shot gun. will. be at Camp Perry for sever al days Chairman John \. T. Hull, of the House committee on military affairs. will probably spend two or three days on the range while the entire membership of the Senate committee on military affairs is cX- pected at tn orange for one day. The committee will be making a tour of inspection of army posts at that time and the itinerary will be ar range so as to bring them to Camp Perry for one day if possible. Gen. William CroZier, chief of ordnance; Rep. l. R Sherwood, Senator Dick of Ohio Rep. Edwin Denby of Michigan, Captain Learnard of the general staff and Captain Kerth, assistant chief of the militia division, will be among the distinguished visitors It is matter of regret that President Taft wiH be unable to arrange his western trip to take in Camp Perry. He -is a life member of the National Rifle assOciation, whose matches will fol- low the national matches, and as secretary of war was greatly inter osted in the work of the N. R. A. and the National Board for Promotion of Rifle Practice. of which Assistant Secretary Robert Shaw Oliver is pres ident President Taft will write the winner of the individual militay championship of the United States personal letter of congratulation. The title goes to the mariSsman who makes the highest record in the national individual rifle match and the presidents match combined.
 For the first time the regimcntal and company matches of the National Rifle association. which will be shot at Camp Perry, O., in August next will be thrown open 70 cadet corps. The. progress made during the pre-
 ceeding year with shooting in the educational institutions justifies the belief that it win be only a few years until they are well represented at the national matches. Culver Mili- tary institute, of Indiana, sent team
