By Bob Bermann

Seattle n on the eve Of one Of
th~ greatest eras Of prosperity
that II has ever experienced. and
1923 VIII certainly be the best
business year that the city has
had since the reconstruction
period began.
This is the unanimous opinion OF
representative manufacturers and
wholesale and retail merchants who
were questioned by The Star Friday.
Every one OF them expressed the
utmost satisfaction with the business
Of the year that ls drawing TO a close
and declared that the new year was
almost sure 10 be even better.
Most OF them Inscribed the i'm
proved conditions OF 1922 and the
rosy prospects for 1923 TO the re.
vival OF the lumber business. which.
they asserted. more than offset the
difficulties encountered because Of
car shortage on tho railroads and an
unsatisfactory situation in the farm
and fruit fields.
The fact that building permits r.
sued during 1922 bid fair 10 surpass
in volume the record Of any previous
ycar-s2o ooo. .o0o-being the estimate
was pointed TO as an Indication Of
the general prosperity which Seattle
s now feeling.
Here are the opinions Of some Of
Scattle's leading business men:
H. G. S0UTHwORTH BON
MARCHE: business during 1912
has been very good---far better than
last year. And the prospect is that
1919 VIII bring at least equally salts
factory results. The year Of 1871
was one Of repression. due TO the
nationwide rcadjustment. but .
change came in April OF this year.
and since then business conditions
with us have been steadily on the

OF the progress that we are making.
business has been very good this
yearly far the hest since the re-
construction period began--and we
look for next year to be even bet
ter"
CHARLES H. FRYE & CO.: THE
last year has been decidedly better
than either 1921 or 1e20-and the
business outlook for 1929 is much
brighter than II was last New Years.
There are certain Adjustments still

instance. and the car shortage. But
when THESE are Strengthened out

The potatoes that made railroad
famous will grace the American Le-
gion banquet tables during the ma
tional convention of that organization
in New Orleans October 16 to 20.
Since serving Idaho "spuds," none of
which weighed less than two pounds,
the Northern Pacific railroad has be-
come renowned as the Route of the
Great Big Baked Potato. Through
courtesy of the National Bank of Ida
no at Pocatelle, the Cache valley po-
tatoe growers have offered to provide
these famous "spuds" for legion ban
uuets during convention week. Cache
valley is famous throughout the
northwest for its finely favored po-
tatoes which grow to large size
without losing flavor or firmness.
Marshal Foch expressed his admira-
tion of their quality and quantity
during his transcontinental tour as
a guest of the legion. The potatoes
are in great demand wherever known.
Cache valley is sending a delegation
of 100 legionnaires to the national
gathering with its "spuds" to prove
its contentious.

General Lejeune, who led the Fifth

of the fort. A detail of marines and
the New Orleans marine band will as

The Spanish fort was built in 17SS
by Governor De Ulloa to guard the
mouth of Bayou, St. John and Lake
Pontchartrain against pirates and
hostile Indians. The old fort still
stands, grim and silent relic of more
adventurous days and hardy peoples
