'TT COSTS LESS.
Tacoma the Nearest Port to
the Producing Areas.
CHAPTER w.

CHAPTER Nv.
Tacoma has grown from
population of a little more than
$4,000 in 1897 to about 100000
steam and is going to hum as
she has never hummed before.
The Chicago. Milwaukee &
st. Paul system has opened the
game by building a short cut
line over the mountains to Ia
coma. The Northern Pacific
and Great Northern have built
a line down the north bank of
the Columbia from Spokane to
Vancouver, Wash, and now
these two roads in connection
with the Hartman system are
building a line from Tacoma to
connect Herewith known as
the Point Defiance Line" so
constructed as to make what
is practically a down hill haul
all the way from Spokane to
Tacoma. Just let that sink in
a bit. A down hill haul in
stead of having to climb over
the mountains and going to
end at Tacoma! Tacoma has
the best harbor on Puget
Sound and is the nearest port to
the producing areas. Appreci-
ating this fact the railroads
have secured over two thousand
acres of water front and tide
land property for terminals
Do you grasp the situation?
The Point Defiance line is
scheduled to be completed this
fall When this is completed
freight can be delivered in Ta-
coma at less cost than to any
other port in this part of the
country. 1t does not take much
thinking TO figure out that the
railroads have concluded they
must make this the big ship
ping port of the Northwest.
The Panama Canal means at
least two important things to
Tacoma--the opening of many
additional markets and the in
flux of people from abroad.
The Completing of railroad
construction now under way
permanently fixes Tacoma as
the greatest shipping port of
the Northwest and the Canal
means more markets and more
people, and then more mills,
factories and more business Of
all kinds,
TT costs less here not only
for the transportation but for
merchant and manufactures as
we'll.

paper Enterprise Association.)
The inauguration of President
Wilson and Vice President Mar
shall could not have been more
impressive. Assembled in the
senate chamber when the vice
president took the oath of office,
were representatives of all par
ties and sections of our own coun-
try and of all leading nations of
the earth. With bowed heads
these men, all of them exercising
authority, listened while the chap
lain, in a most felicitously worded
prayer, acknowledged the higher
authority of the heavenly father
and invoked his blessing upon
those retiring from, as well as
those entering into, official posi-
ton.
~ The vice presidents speech was
q characteristic one-full of
thought and vigor and repIete
with epigram. 1t will be more
read and commented upon than
any similar speech delivered in
many a year. Then came the ad-
ministrating of the oath to the
president-elect, a solemn act amid
hush broken by the applause
that followed when the new presi-
dent turned to address the assem-
Dled multitude. The lesson taught
by what followed ought not to be
lost upon our own people, or upon
those who look to us for an ex-
ample. A nation of more than
90,000,000 of inhabitants passed
peacefully from one administra-
tlon to another-the new admin
1stration representing what
must be regarded as scarcely less
than revolution in methods and
policies.
BY a plurality of more than g.
100000 the voters had rejected a
candidate who twice had been
president and another candidate
who had been president for four
years and placed its office in the
hands of one of its own choosing.

his speeches to new freedom

store ancient landmarks and re-

presented In that lucid styIe
which has added So much to his
: effectiveness as a public speaker.
He outlined the things from
which the country has turned
and defined the course upon which
under the guidance of his admin
lstration, it is entering.
III anyone has doubted the pro-
gressiveness of his program. all
doubt has been removed. His
speech was a bugle call that the
hearts of those who had strug-
gied, at first almost without hone
put now exultant In a victory

Happy the president that thus
called to enter the highest office

animons feeling of good will.
