great celebration in which the en-
tire state could participate was
A. the Tacoma Chamber
of Commerce a little more than 80
years ago. A little group Of BUSH
ness men-H. C. Bostwick, J. p.
Chilberg. J. w. sprague. S. f..
Sahm. r. J. Weisbach, s. M. Nolan.
Il. N. Ouimette, Francis Tarbell
and A. J. Baker-started out one
day to sign up members for Ia
coma's first Chamber Of Com
merce. They first issued a letter,
which was published in the Tacoma
papers. and then started to drum
up a crowd for the organization
meeting. They walked through
the mud on Pacific avenue and A
street, and climbed over the logs
on the waterfront on the way to
interest the group In Old Tacoma.
Those men of 80 years ago
worked fast. They started the
Chamber Of Commerce sentiment
Jan. ~ and the next night the or
ganization meeting was held and
a lot Of enthusiastic speeches about
the future of Tacoma were made.
In the course of the evening much
language was turned loose but =
great deal of wisdom was ex-
pressed at the same time. General
Sprague pointed out that no mat
ter what natural advantages Ia
coma might have, the only way to
achieve success was for the entire
community to stand together on
fundamentals. John Arthur, a
young attorney, apologized for pre-
Stunning to speak among so many
older heads but said he did so only
because of his enthusiasm over the
brilliant prospects of the new city
in which he had elected to cast his
lot.

described the Puyallup valley

but could not because of the
weather. The reception committee
did its work so well that the tour
lists were sent away happy and
highly pleased with Tacoma and
her prospects.

The new group did not stop with
doing a good job at home. The
members made frequent visits to
communities in the Tacoma trade
area and paid a friendly visit to
Seattle occasionally. The photo
graph above represents part Of the
chamber membership which went
to Seattle to put on q Fourth Of
July celebration just before the
statehood year. Altogether about
5000 persons went over by boat
and train and gave Seattle the
liveliest celebration and the latg-
est crowd In the citys history up
to that time.

startled the crowd by opening a
speech with What shall we do to
be saved ?"
I'VE have" said he, the seem
cry, the water, and the climate, but
all these alone won't amount to
anything unless we ourselves do
something. Wind or chin music
we've had some tonight-is good in
its place but we've got to have
action. too. The Lord helps those
who help themselves, and what we
must do now is to put our shoulders
to the wheel and everybody help"
That was about the last of the
speech making except. for some
oratory over the proposal to make
the membership fee 500. Several
speakers objected because they
feared 1t might keep some people
out Of the organization. Others
argued for the high fee on the
theory that the more one paid for
a privilege the higher it was
valued. A second argument was
that the organization would need
funds to carry on its work.
The last argument settled the
controversy, and 81 persons signed
the membership agreement at 500
each. The next day a committee
started after more members and
when the first regular meeting was
held IS business men had pledged
500 each to start the Tacoma
Chamber of Commerce.
Fast Workers
Within "a hours after the organ
ization was completed, the menu
bers were functioning. One of their
first undertakings was to establish
boat service between Tacoma and
the communities on vashon island
and the peninsula. The first big
function was a reception to the
members of the Raymond excur-
sion party from the east, which
arrived early in June.
The day opened with a heavy
fog which later changed to driz-
zle. Members of the chamber as
