A GOOD ADVERTISER

Seattle, Feb. Copy written
by the first Puget Sound booster
a century and a quarter ago will
be used in advertisements by the
Puget Saunders, Associated, in a
$35, 900 advertising campaign in
California this summer. 1t was
written by Capt. George Vancou-
yer who discovered Puget Sound
in 1892, charting the sound and
giving many of the present names
to its different islands, arms and
capes.
"To describe the beauties of
this region" he wrote, "will, on
some future occasion, be very
grateful task to the pen of skill
full panegyrist. The serenity Of
the climate, the innumerable plea
sing landscapes and the abundant
fertility that unassisted nature
puts forth, require only to be ell
riched by the industry of man to
make it the most lovely country
that can be imagined"
The Puget Saunders Asst. is an
organization composed of repre-
sentatives of commercial organi-
cations if Seattle, Tacoma, Vie
toria, Vancouver and Bellingham.
They have become associated to
tell California tourists and resi-
dents the charms of the Puget
Sound country as a summer vaca-
ton land.

Press avs Tribute
to War President
From Seattle Daily Times.

Woodrow Wilson will go down
in history as one of the very
greatest of American Presidents.
Four years ago, any who said
this was instantly reviled.
Today there will be fewer than
half as many people who will
object to the statement.
Wilson's austerity and mental
egolism-direct products of his
intellectual training and environ
ment- alienated politicians and
all others of lesser cerebral capac-
ity. These characteristics also
produced @cretiveness and I'M
willingness to offer explanations.
Also cabinet of automat0ns, each
act of its various members the act
of a master mind--save only the
great war secretary, Baker, to
whom was granted power and in
dependence of action not accord
ed the others.

FATAL ILLNESS SIEzES
UNIVERSITY STUDENT

Merrill Ward was brought over
from the hospital last Monday and
is at the home of his aunt, Mrs.
Brock Reed. He had been at the
hospital about three weeks. We
understand that his ailment is
quick consumption annd no hope
is held out for his recovery. Mr..
Ward was student at the Univer-
sity, having entered there this
semester. Prior to that he had
worked eight mouths in eastern
Washington. 1t $ thought by his
father that he contracted the dis
ease about a year ago when he,
with three other young fellows,
was marooned in snow storm fer
several days in the mountains of
Wyoming.

VOTE THE SCHOOL BONDS

Voters in the north end will
have an opportunity at the school
election on March II to vote for
one director and also to- vote a
small bond issue which will place
our school finances in much bet
ter shape.
When the high school was put
up there had been a bond issue OF
$l0, 600 to cover the cost of it but
this appropriation was exceeded
by about $500. This amount in
large part still stands in the form
of unredeemed warrants drawn
against the general fund and has
been drawing interest at I per ct.
all this time. The amount now is
about $4,000 and it is proposed to
take care of this with bond issue
which will place the burden upon
the building fund where it right
fully belongs and where in a few
years time it will be paid off and
forgotten, thing which it is
impossible to do out OF the gen
eral school fund which is barely
adequate for the running expense.
Please note that in voting for
this bond issue you are not giving
the board any additional funds to
use. simply providing for the adj
justment of an old debt.

PEOPLE USING THE GREAT
NATIONAL FAIRGROUNDS

Field reports received at the
District Forester's Office in Port
land show that there were 1,576,
290 visitors in 1923 on the - Ma
tional forests of Oregon and
Washington. The national for
ests thus prove themselves to be
the great summer Fairgrounds of
the Pacific Northwest. Forest of
ficers believe the above estimates
of visitors to be very conserva-
tive. This number of people fish
ed, camped, picknicked, hunted
or travelled ON the ~ million acre
of the national forests and repre-
sent an increase of 546,31S over
the 1922 figures. The above fig
ures are for national forests in
Washington and Oregon and do
not include visitors to the nation
al parks in the two states.
"Recreational Use" said Dis
trict Forester Cecil, :" is only one
of the many uses that the nation
al forests serve. Not only are the
timber, forage and water storage
resources Of the national forests
protected by the forest service 70,
use but these high mountain play
grounds Of the Pacific Northwest
are destined to become the public
Fairgrounds of America.

All these things caused contem-
poraneous misunderstanding of
the man and his motives, accom-
plishments. Although we had
chosen a schoolmaster to be exec
utive of the worlds greatest bus
mess, we made no allowances for
pedagoguish mamerisms of thot
and personal conduct.
But today Woodrow Wilson is
as much martyr to duty and pa
triotism as was Lincoln. He
was as much victim of German
warfare as any of those who lie
dead in the American cemeteries
of France. He died fighting for
his country-not as his detraetors
suggest, for the League of Ma
tions.
This generation will never write
his epitaph. That is history's job.
But we know that history will
take into account the fact that
under Wilson'S direction, Amer
lea entered and ended the war
and that when he died America
was the only country among all
the major powers involved that
had returned to prosperity.

CONSIDER CHANGE

The following Is from a news re-
port in the Portland Press Herald
and indicates a change which would
cause regret in this city:
q THAT the Gannett Publishing
company may follow the example Of
other publishing companies who have
distribution of printing from the east
to the middle west in order to escape
oppressive postal rates became
known today.
For some months the Gannett
Publishing company has been max
ing negotiations. with the Cuneo-
Henneberry company Of Chicago for
printing and mailing Comfort from
we'll equipped to handle this class of
business as 1t already is handling
the printing and mailing Of six ma
tionally known magazines, the circu-
lation of which aggregates well over
six million a month.
preliminary investigations indi-
cate that the transfer of the printing
plant from Augusta to Chicago and
mailing from that point would effect
saving of % percent in postal rates.
along with the negotiations with
the Chicago company, the Gannett
Fublishing company has also been
carefully gathering data on freight
rates in order to determine central
point from which the magazine can
be mailed from q plant Of its own to
it's million and more subscribers.
These Investigations indicate that
some point in Ohio would be geo.
graphically best suited for handling
the printing and mailing of Comfort
"Ohio has already been selected by
numerous publications as a printing
and mailing point. The Crowell Pub
fishing company at Springfield, pub
fishers of the Women's Home Com
panion, American, Farm and Fire

the printing department of Golfers

effect a saving on the postal rates.
McCalrs magazine has recently re-
located its printing plant at Dayton
Ohio.
Since the establishment Of postal
zoning system in 1917. postal rates
have increased 275 percent on second

with particular severity on Augusta
which is located so far from the Gen.
