If there were any hesitating ones,
any pessimists, any who have the
slightest doubt that Wenatchee might
become a city of 25, 900 or more by
1915, Rev. w. ]. Hindley, in an elo-
Quent speech last nigEt dispelled all
doubts. 1t was a booster meeting,
pure and simple, and the big audi
ence which greeted the speaker was
composed in. a great part by men
and women who were wearing the
emblem of the recently organized
Booster club. Rev. Hindley Is an
eloquent speaker. He had his audi.
ence in good humor all the time
though he spoke two hours on the
subject 1.-The Making of Modern
City," yet the time passed so raDid,
" that few realized that he had spo-
ken for so long time.
The speaker is thoroughly a west.
erner. He is imbued with the pro-
gressive booster spirit of the big In
land Empire and his address was or
the practical lines of not only max
ing a big city but of making the high
est type of a modern city. Wenat-
chez people enjoy great deal o1
self-praise and Rev. Hindley knows
how to put it on in the right quan.
titles. He eulogiZed the big red ap.
pie and the country which produced
it and of this the Wenatchee people
never tire.
In the making of a modern city
the speaker outlined four genera
elements that enter into such build
ings. He spoke Of commercial ele
ment first and stated that while the
tendency of the times was to decrJ
the commercial spirit yet the speak
er posed not as an opponent of the
but as an adherent. He pointed Out
that while the city might be OF
beautiful homes, scenery, natural re-
sources yet If the business men lack
ed the spirit which would go out anG
seek new worlds to conquer" the
city itself would only reach limited
proportions. In reference to the po
litical life of a city Rev. Hindley
spoke of the unison there should be
between the commercial organiZa.
tions and the city administration and
advised a very hearty cooperation
His idea was that while the CONNER
. cial club and booster organizations
should take no part whatever in pol
itics yet the strength of the organiza
tions should be thrown to the very
best possible men to take charge Of
the business of the city.
Rev. Hindley gave the social ele
ment as the third place in the ele
ments that go to make up a great
city. In this he referred to the home
life. In this phase he spoke of the
home environments of the citizens
and advocated the making of city
beautiful in it's fullest extent, the
building of neat and attractive
homes with lawns, trees and beauti.
