NXTILL the Pacific coast eventually have city
w larger than New York? VIII Seattle be that
city?
Some economists predict it. Facts seem to bear
them out.
The economists believe our real foreign trade fu-
ture' will be in Asia instead Of Europe.
Fasteners in the United States have tendency TO
look upon the Pacific coast primarily as a winter
resort.
They do not realize the industrial future Of the
district west Of the Rockies, nor do they comprehend
the tremendous industrial position already attained
by the Pacific coast
Seattle and the Northwest especially are making
huge strides in progress.
Back in 1860 the Pacific coast produced only 3d.
100000 dollars worth Of manufactured goods year.
Multiplying this by 100 would give you figure still
too scant TO the value of the manufactured
products today.
Time was when the growth of industry on the
Pacific coast dependent the East That day is
past We now have the money TO finance ourselves.
We have overcome, Also most of our fuel and
power and transportation problems. The Panama
canal has aided tremendously.
CEATTLE and Washington lead the Pacific coast
~ in progress according to the report Of the u. S.
department of commerce that has just reached the
city.
This report for the year 1921 contains also the
departments estimates covering manufactures inn
ports exports and other items for the years 1922 and
1923.
1t shows that Seattle today is the FIRST PORT
ON THE PACIFIC COAST and the FOURTH PORT
IN THE UNITED STATES in the value of her ex-
ports and imports.
1t shows that Washington in the amount of goods
manufactured is GROWING FASTER THAN is
EITHER CALIFORNIA OR OREGON.
In 1921 Washingtons manufactured products were
valued at S44S 900 In 1923 this had leaped to
more than s1000,000000, gain of 900 per cent.
Oregon, with S223,664,0OO in 1921, and California
with S1,75S,6S2.000 in 1921, had advanced 200 per
cent in 1928, the report shows.
In 1922 Seattle Jagged behind San Francisco in the
value Of imports and exports. Today Seattle tops all
West Coast ports. Here is the 1923 report on the
five main Pacific Coast ports:

PROGRAM
Producers Association
Organizes Tuesday;
Outline Plans

The first meeting OF the members
OF the Caldwell Producers. assoe'a-
ton since the articles Oh incorpora-
Tuesday night A set Of bylaws, al.
ton were filed, was held in Caldwel
most identical with those approved
by the Parma Producers association
were adopted. George II. Myers. w
w. Rhodenbaugh, B. w. Bass, Roy
Shelp and William Siebenberg were
elected as a temporary Board of Dir
ectors.
The meeting then gave its unani-
nous Endorsement to plan to pay
one-helf cent per packed crate per
mile on all head lettuce delivered to
the Association for packing. This
will place growers at distance from
a packing house on the same footing
as those who live nea. by.
Following the adjournment OF the
members meeting tn newly elected
board OF directors met and organic
ed by electing w. w. Rhodenbaugh
as president, Roy Shelp, as vice presi-
dent, and Geo. H. Myers as secre-
tary-treasurer.
The board of directors elected. as
we'll as the officers, are to act tempor-
arily and a new board will be elected
by the membership after additional
members for the association are Sc
cured.
The only business transacted by
the board, aside from organization
was the adoption of form OF con-
tract to be used by the association
and its members. These contracts
will be printed within a few days
and will be distributed by the mem
bcrs of the association for signature
The plan by which the products o'
the association will be sold has not

Mines

II. f. Samuels, perennial Progress
sive candidate for governor addressed
Caldwell audience Monday nj the
city hall on the subject OF coal freight
rates. Particular reference WIS made
TO Teton county coal mines in which
Mr. camuels is interested. Resolu-
tions in harmony with those adopted
generally over this section OF the state
were introduced and passed and a
committee selected to attend hear
ing before the Idaho public utilities
at briggs today. Freight rates on
coal from this source to this section
of Idaho are involved in this hear
ing.
Mr.. Samucls said that Teton coal
fields alone offered Idaho a fuel sup
DIV within her own borders. Quality
of this ccai, he said, had been highly
approved by federal tests made by
the geological bureau. He relates oi
the war difficulty in obtaining trans
oor,ation to the mines and how, since
the war when hnancial difficulties
ovcrcame the operating company, The
Oregon Short Line threatened to teal
I'D the mine spur. This was stopped
a federal court order preserved ih'
property to representatives. owners and
fair rates will permit its development
