The Tomahawk. [volume] (White Earth, Becker County, Minn.) 1903-192?, 1917-07-19

KTY years is but brief span In
the life Of most cities, yet these
-. past 60 years in the life Of
~ Seattle have seen it's develop
:ment from prfmeval wilderness to
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 at Al-K1 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 necessary livelihood from
the soil and the waters, the pioneers
rounded the wooded promontory of Du-
vanish, entered the harbor and estab-
1ished 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
:harber 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-
station.
First and last Impressions of 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 1ndi-
vidual enterprise is inspired and from
here that all manner of undertakings,
large and small, are directed and con-
trolled. Whatever the geographical ex-
tent of a city, it's business district Is
its heart, the pulsations Of which are
felt to the utmost suburb and far be-
yond. .: -.
Plenty Of sEyerapers.
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

the street, fine structures of steel, con-
crete, stone and brick, lifting their
faces to the sky, overlooked by tho
mountain heights Of the neighborhood.
The l.. G. Smith building, AZ stories
high, is the highest building in the
world outside Of New York city, while
surrounding it are examples Of the best
and most modern in building struc-
lures.
In 1900 census reports gave Seattle
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 $1,000
600 worth of property in 1889, but re-
;gardless Of these handicaps, the spirit
of the people remained undaunted.
The sawrnill 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 single 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 one Of Seattle's lead
Ing industrial resources.
Largest Lumber Mills
The largest lumber mills in the
world are located at Port Blakeley,
just opposite the city on Puget sound.
Uncle Sam has locked some 10000, 900

Americans Must Realize I hat War
Now Involves Their Own Security
Bv Uuted State. Senator WILLIAM E. BORAH Of Idaho

For nearly three years the American people have
been led to look upon this war as European war-a
war with which they had little to do either in thought
or act This was thoroughly and persistently drilled
into the minds of people, The mere declaration OF
war did not wholly, it seems, revolutionze the public
mind in this respect. A great many of our people,
even those whose interests in the war keen and
whose patriotism is undoubted look upon this war as
European war and continue to treat it such. SO
long as that condition continues we shall make prog

was driving one of the cars and a man
