In other words Portland spent nine times much as did
Seattle Of taxpayers money!
Tiny Astoria spent nearly double what big Seattle did
and yet specially interested persons have the here
raise the taxation issue.
The Star showed yesterday that the Moran site If ac-
quired by the port will unquestionably NEVER be ANY
for itself.
Enemies Of the port trying to show the contrary
The Star says today that this contention were true
it would be valid argument The port is worth while
ten times for what costs in added business it brings
to Seattle And it must be permitted to develop If Seattle
is to expand into great world trade center.

--Neuritis
LEAVE YOU FOREVER.

Mr.. James H. Allen suffered for
years with rheumatism. Many times
this terrible disease left him helpless
and unable to work.
He finally decided, after years of
c~easeless study, that no one can be
free from rheumatism until the accu-
INFLATED impurities, commonly called
uric acid deposits. were dissolved in
the joints and muscles and expelled
from the body.
With this idea in mind he consulted
physicians. made experiments and f.
nally compounded a prescription that
quickly and completely banished every
sign and symptom of rheumatism from
his system.
He freely gave his discovery to 9TH
ers who took it, with what might be
called marvellous success. After years
of urging he decided to let sufferers
everywhere know about his discovery
through the newspapers. He has
therefore instructed druggists every
where TO dispense ALLENRHU with
the understanding that he will freely
return the purchase money on the first
pint bottle to all who state they re
ceiyed no benefit.

JUST THE GATEWAY
c. G. Wolfe Tells Rotarians That San
Antonio Should Be Front Door.

Only a very small portion Of the
millions OF dollars worth of merchan-
disc entering Mexico through Laredo
during the last six months was ship
ped out of San Antonio, c. G. Wolfe,
manager of the Mexican trade extern
sion department of the Chamber of
Commerce, told members of the Ro-
tary Club at their luncheon Friday.
San Antonio merchants have not
equipped themselves to supply the
merchandise demanded by the Mexi-
can merchants, he said, declaring that
San Antonio had been content to act
as the gateway into Mexico instead Of
the front door to that country.
Claude V. Birkhead. president of
the Chamber of Commerce, told the
Rotarians that he is interested in
three large concerns that have done Il
considerable amount of business with
Mexican merchants. He said that his
firms had never lost n dollar in the
credits granted Mexican merchants ex-
cept in some cases where they had
death with foreign merchants doing
business in that country.

his experiences as an actor to the
club. and Franklin Canaday and Keith
