NIXTY years is but a brief span in
~ the life Of most cities, yet these
past 80 years in the life of
Seattle have seen its develop
ment from primeval wilderness to a
city of worldwide Importance. The
era of development started in 1852,
when a group of hardy pioneers, one
Of whom is still living in Seattle, land
ed on the wide beach ut Al-Ii point,
just outside the entrance of the har-
Dor. Here the first rude cabins were
built and the first homes Of the future
city established. But soon, in seeking
better protection for themselves from
the storms Of the Pacific, better means
of wrestling a necessary livelihood from
the soil and the waters, the pioneers
rounded the wooded promontory of Du-
vanish, entered the harbor and estab-
lished their settlement on its eastern
shore.
AS new settlers were attracted by
the fertility Of the soil, says Earle
Gage in Grit, the advantages of the
harbor location and the soft, equable
climate all the year round, there came
a sawmill, which was the institution
of the great lumber business, which to-
day has given the state Of Washington,
and Seattle in particular, a world repu-
tation.
First and last impressions of a city,
or Of a community settlement of any
size, are created by conditions dis
closed in the business districts. It is
here that the majority Of visitors first
find themselves; it is here that indi-
vidual enterprise is inspired and from
here that all hammer of undertakings,
large and small, are directed and con-
trolled. Whatever the geographical ex-
tent Of a city, its business district is
it's heart, the pulsations Of which are
felt to the utmost suburb and far be-
yond.
Plenty Of Skycrapers.
Building for business purposes in
Seattle has kept stride with every de-
velopment in architecture and repre-
sents every sound theory of modern
construction. Even the older business
buildings, fully occupied for many
years, stand as examples of the best
that was known at the time Of their
construction. The era of the sky
scraper found Seattle ready. On all
sides are found towering giants of

How to Secure and Fit Up a Red Cross Workroom

After an auxiliary Of the Red Cross
has been formed and has. determined
upon the specific work which it will
do, a place of meeting must be secured.
A light room will be needed where
work tables will accommodate the
women who volunteer to do the work
In hand. In many cities and towns
business men donate vacant rooms in
commercial buildings for this purpose.
In all the large department stores in
the country, floor space has been al
lotted to this work and placards, post
ed throughout the stores, invite shop
pers to give an hour or SO of their
time to Red Cross work.
The workrooms of millinery shops
are turned over to Red Cross workers
in the evening, in some of the smaller
cities and towns. 1t is best to secure
a vacant room in a store building or
space in q store, to be used solely for
Red Cross work. Club women and
members Of various women's organi-
cations, church societies, etc., can be
allotted q definite time during each
week, 10 meet IN q DOQy and work to-
gether, In these rooms.
When a room has been secured it
must be fitted with work tables and
chairs. Plain wooden chairs and long
tables are best and the tables are to
be covered with oilcloth, If possible, SO
that they can be easily kept clean.
Nails along the walls, or elsewhere,
will be needed in which big overall
aprons are to be hung. Above each
nail q small ticket pasted to the wall
carries the name of the owner Of the
apron, or a string ticket may be used
on the apron. A few extra aprons
should be provided for volunteer work.

By way of reducing the high cost of
living, silk appears to be the chosen
fabric for summer suits, rather than
wooden fabrics. The industrious silk
worm, aided and abetted by other
things known to manufacturers, have
made silks cheaper in comparison with
woolens than they used to be. Silk
jersey, poplin and taffeta are cool and
elegant substitutes for light woolens,
and besides these there are the new
weaves, made especially for summer
wear, and pongee to strengthen the
cause of silk.
A beige-colored suit of silk poplin
shown in the illustration measures up
to the highest standard in new styles.
1t has a wide cape collar, of the epau-
lette variety, and the inevitable pock-

Other commercial varieties include
hemlock, spruce, larch and white fir,
in the western sections, and pine and
tamarack in the eastern counties.
The commercial fisheries Of the
north Pacific coast are ccntered in
Seattle. The fishing grounds cover the
whole vast expanse Of the northern
ocean and its every harbor, the traps
dot the coast at strategic locations and
the canneries, large and small, are
placed wherever advantageous for
quick handling of the fish. The BUSH
ness is directed from Seattle, where all
supplies are procured and where the
product comes for general distribute
ton. Z,
At Bremerton, directly across Puget
sound from Seattle, is situated the
Puget Sound navy yard, the largest
and most important establishment Of
the navy department on the Pacific
coast. The federal government has
spent hundreds Of thousands Of dol
lars in the building of another and
much larger dry dock than was at first
used, and for ten years this yard has
been the rendezvous Of all naval ves-
sells in Pacific waters.
Great Mercantile Port.
The innumerable vessels Of the
worlds merchant marine make this
port one of commercial Importance. 1T
was on the water front of Seattle that
a series Of happenings, beginning at
far distant points, finally eliminated in
the two greatest events Of Seattle's
early history, namely, the opening Of
direct trade with the Orient and the
arrival of the first substantial shipment
Of gold from Alaska and the Klondike.
Both events followed upon a long
period Of national depression during
which Seattle suffered in common with

The skirt is plain. A pretty costume

this kind, makes up a formal suit

other cities. In the summer Of 1896
the first steamship Of the newly estab-
lished Japanese line made port with
her cargo Of silks, teas, curios and
other valuable products of the far
East. A year later the first ship from
Alaska brought absolute proof Of the
intrinsic worth Of Alaska's amazing
riches awaiting the prospector.
OF the gold that poured into Seattle
during the first year no estimate was
made. The first effect was to crowd
the city with men Of all ages and ma
tionalities, bound for Alaska and the
Yukon territory. Seattle was electri-
fed with new energy.

The L. c. Smith building, AZ stories

surrounding it are examples Of the best
and most modern in building struc-
lures.
In 1900 census reports gave Seattle a
population of $4,000, while in July,
1915, the population was reported as
100000. It must be remembered that
the first railroad did not enter until
1884, and that a fire destroyed $7,000,-
600 worth Of property in 1889, but re-
CARELESS Of these handicaps, the spirit
of the people remained undaunted.
The sawmill was Seattle's first in
dustry. The city is virtually built on
a lumber foundation. The wonderful
timber resources of the state gave the
first means Of livelihood to the early
settlers, and the development Of the
lumber and shingle industries has
marked the stride Of progress in every
line. For years Seattle's annual out
put Of shingles has exceeded that Of
any other city in the world. Not only
is the city headquarters Of the lumber
industry Of the Pacific northwest, but
the major part Of the shingles manu-
featured in the entire United States
are made in this state alone. The
manufacture and export Of lumber
products from Seattle to all parts Of
the world form n Of Seattle's lead
ing industrial resources.

Just opposite the city on Puget sound.

three women al share an apron
among them, if each has a definite time
set aside for using it.
A place for storing the supplies
made and facilities for packing them
in boxes when they are to be shipped
away, must be provided. And an i'm
portant item not to be overlooked, is
q place for washing the hands; for this
must be done, without fail, as a pre-
liminary to any work done for the
Red Cross. Small towels, not larger
than a small table napkin are used for
drying the hands. Members Of the
auxiliary can make and donate these,
using old linen for the purpose.
1t is a good idea, when a room has
been secured and fitted up, to pay
some woman a small weekly fee to
keep it clean and orderly. She will
be expected to see that it is swept
and busted and that the tables are
washed when necessary.
Having secured a room and it's fit
tings, and someone to keep it in or
der, the women Of a new auxiliary are
ready to 60 to work. Military hospi-
tails are using and will use enormous
quantities of surgical dressings and
hospital supplies and these are the
things that ONE who are anxious to
be of patriotic service to the govern
ment can make. Directions for going
