Seattle Pays One Mill,

And There Is One Coast Port Pays None;
Read Thru and See Which 1t Is

One of the most interesting features of the controversy
over the Port Of seates plan to acquire and develop the
Skinner Eddy udeland acreage is THE OPPOSITION.

shipping world and the owner Of Seattle newspaper
which invariably when the test takes sides against
real interests of all Seattle and for some clique.

The whole campaign conferred around the charge that
