PUGET SOUND NOW LEADS
COAST IN OCEAN TRADE
Total for Last Three Months Exceeds
CalifOrnia's, Formerly
First.

Readjustment of the trade routes
Of the seven seas, due to the war in
Europe and the many advantages in
time and service offered by Puget
Sound ports in handling cargoes to
and from the Far East have attracted
the attention of the entire shipping
world to the Pacific Northwest, and
as a consequence foreign imports and
exports Of the district of Washington
have been increasing by leaps and
bounds until this part Of the Pacific
coast now leads all others combined
in the value of trade with other coun-
tries.
1t has ben known to all shipping
men that for years the districts of
California have led all Of the Pacific
coast districts in foreign import and
export trade. But. taking the grand
total of foreign trade for the three
months ending June 80, 1915, for all
of the districts Of California, the total
valuation. aggregated $41,151,394,
while for this same period the valua-
tion of imports and exports of the dis
trict of Washington was $45,271,444,
or greater than the two districts of
California combined.
Furthermore. 1t is shown by the
comparison for the three months that
in the value of it's foreign imports
and exports the district of Washing
ton exceeded the combined districts
of California and Oregon by $375,636.
These figures do not include coastwise
or local traffic, Panama canal trade or
commerce with Hawaii or Alaska.
The foreign trade Of the district of
Washington has been greatly stimu-
lated by extraordinary movements of
freight to Asiatic Russia, Japan. Eng
land, British Columbia, China, the
Philippines and to ports on the west
coast of South America. An entirely
new trade has been developed with
Siberia via the port Of Vladivostok
and this has been added to enormous
increases in business with China
Japan, the Philippines and South
America
Within the past few weeks repre-
sentatives of great industrial con
Germs in the East and Middle West
have been sent to Siberia, China and
Japan and all contracts for shipments
will be made with the understanding
that they aer to move via the Wash.
ington district, the sohrtest route to
Asiatic Russia, China, Japan and the
Philippines.

Boulder, Colo, Daily Herald tells
about Mrs. Hatcher:
MRS. Hatcher, who is one of the
best informed women on the lecture
platform, having travelled extensively
in this country and Europe, is an
ardent supporter of the cause of pro-
hibition, and Jealous advocate for
Alaska, which she hopes will some
day go "dry." She is a pleasing
talker, has a good voice, a splendid
command of language and with the
aid of pictures which were thrown
upon the screen, told the auditors
much about Alaska which they did
not know, a country full of possibil-
| tiles along all lines"

FOOD FOR STATE WARDS.
Board of Control Buys Six Months
Supplies for 8,OOO Inmates.

The growth of the work Of pro-
viding for the 5000 inmates of state
institutions is shown by the fact that
the state board of control. in purchas-
ing six months supplies next week
for the 12 institutions, will buy 400
barrels OF -four, 36O,100 pounds Of
fresh meat, 5000 pounds of fresh
fish, 59,124 pounds Of butter and
134,8OO pounds of sugar.
To heat the institutions $3.50 tons
of coal will be purchased. Beans,
canned goods, and other supplies will
be bought in large quantities Pur-
chases would be much greater but for
the fact that many Of the institutions
are self supporting. The eastern hos
pital and the penitentiary raise all
their own meat.
