 When on historic day, November Is. 1851, who founded Seattle, named their landing place New YorkAIki" meaning the New York of the future v they dreamed nightly, although even to those with the largest vision among them, the name must have appeared extravagant
 However that may be- the pioneers today justified in their abundant faith for Seae's growth as world city Indeed, in this year of 1917, there have been months when only New York has surpassed Seattle export and import port. has left San Francisco $OO 900 behind in 1916, and is due to exceed that figure this year
 It is nip and tuck between Boston and Seattle now for third and fourth places in the foreign com merce of the United States, New York being first and Philadelphia second
 While only $26,O00,000 separated the two cities in 1916 the margin has narrowed in 1917, and every now and then Seattle has jumped ahead of Boston On January 1, 1917, Bostons foreign com for the preceding year was $3S691527S while Seattles $360526940
 Compared with other Pacific cities. Seattle is in class by itself. Even conceding slight su- premacy by Boston Seattle, the latter ranks San Francisco, its nearest rival the Pacific is ninth; Los Angeles is 25th, and Portland is 29th.
 Exceeding San Francisco's trade by more than hundred million. Seattle distances Los Angeles by $35OOOO,OO0 and Portland by $354.OOO,O0O.
 Seattle's increase in foreign trade from 1907 to 1917 has been 335k per cent.
 Always the great gateway to Alaska, Seattle is today also the gateway to Siberia and Russia where future development offers unlimited opportunities Being also a shorter distance to Yokohama than San Francisco, the great Oriental trade, which to this date has only scratched on surface, promises wider and wider expansion.
 This shorter distance saving of time from four days according to the various routes it being 4263 miles from Seattle to Yokohama via the Great Circle and 4,536 miles from San Francisco.

Juneau Chapter is making provis- ion for assisting in the Red Cross movement to provide the soldiers at the front with Christmas cheer. Mrs. Christian, member of the executive committee of Juneau Chapter. is chairman of committee to arrange for the Christmas work of this chap ter and all inquiries concerning the packages should be addressed to her.
 The Red Cross at Washington has issued the following suggestions for Christmas packets for soldiers and sailors
 By Christmas the United States will have more than 100000 men under arms. and everyone will be eager to help in giving them Christ mas cheer
 No matter how generous a supply of gifts some of the men may receive from families and friends, it is be- lieved that all Red Cross members will want to unite in sending to each man a Christmas packet filled with good things and good will.
 In order that the men may be equally remembered and yet that there may be pleasant variety in the contents, the following sugges- tions are made for preparing and assembling the Christmas parcels:
 1. Nothing should go into them which will not keep fresh from the time of packing until Christmas.
 2. Dried fruits and other food pro- ducts should be packed in small tin or wooden boxes. one-quarter to one-half pound sibze.
