That's the name given to the
Pacific Northwest in an interview
with returned traveller, recently
printed in an Eastern paper ne
remarked that he found no knockers
on the Pacific Coast. The same
paper commenting editorially on the
interview called attention that the
people in this part of the country
are too busy taking advantage OF
their opportunities to knock. ldleIs
and failures only have time to knock.
It is this wonderful corps d'esprlt
Of the Northwest that is attracting
SO many settlers to it. When IN
search of new home, people prefer
to go where they find enthusiastic.
satisfied people already living.
Most of the great historic events
of the Pacific Northwest were mark
ed by the arrival of some vessel on
Puget Sound, bent on an important
mission. These events, dating from
Vancouver's discovery of Puget
Sound in 1871. will be commemorate
ed this year in pageantry and fes-
tivities at the Golden Potlatch''
festival, to be held in Seattle the
week commencing July II. On July
II, 1897, the steamer Portland sailed
into Puget Sound with the the first
cargo of gold from Alaska's new
found fields, and the date for the
Golden Potlatch" was chosen to
perpetuate the memory of that event
in history. From it dates the great
est era of Seattle's prosperity. The
Golden Potlatch will be big carni-
val of merry making, with its seri-
Gus features Of historical interest
depicted in elaborate pageantry.
President Kane, of the University
of Washington, urges faculty mem
bers to serve on juries when they
are called, although the state law
exempts teachers from such service.
He holds that a higher Intellectual
standard is set by the presence Of
college professors on juries. Speak
ing on the same subject, Prof. E. O..
Eastwood says: ut is entirely con-
sistent with the great political refor-
nation now on foot, that our juries
should consist of men of intellect,
sound judgment and unbiased opin-
ions".
The Washington State Art
Association with headquarters in the
Seattle Public Library building has
compiled general and financial
statement that shows it to be the
possessor of collections valued at
$4,000. Cash on hand amounts
to $53, ,103. The Tozier Indian col
lection is worth $3.50, 900, while the
archaeological and chronological ex-
hibits obtained from the Smithsonian
Institution are valued at $85. 900.
The remaining items consist of
paintings, engravings, pottery,
sculpture, bronzes, silks and other
art treasures. A project now on
foot contemplates the erection of a
half a million dollar building for
the state museum in the heart OF
Seattle.

Northern lines terminating on
Puget Sound have raised the limit
of transit on eastbound excursion
rates this summer from ten to fifteen
days, according to announcements
made by the Great Northern.
Northern Pacific and Hartman
traffic officials. Low summer rates
amount to one fare plus $40 to St.
Paul, Minneapolis, Omaha and
Chicago for the round trip. East
Of Chicago. the fare is one fare and
a half. Stopover privileges are
granted according to the new sched-
ule. The limit on the return is
placed at October 81.
From all parts Of the Northwest
come reports of bumper crops in
prospect this year. The Big Bend
wheat country expects to break all
past records. The fruit sections ex-
pect materially enlarged outputs in
apples. Soft fruits also promise
we'll. On the west side Of the
mountains there is every reason to
count on horn Of plenty being
realized. To be able to handle this
increased yield, all railroads are
planning to add to their rolling
stock. Financial conditions con-
tinue to improve in the face of all
these bright prospects.
