Prosperity and Crowth of
Cities Conditional on Wa-I

To the Editor:
The discussion recently- aroused
over the problem of adequate docking
facilities along our Wator.fro'.t
touches a vital question and the
outcome should be a larger realization
of our possibilities and natural
advantages.
It is not over-drawing nfatters to
state that the prosperity afifd growth
of cities are conditioned entirely on
transportation facilities water j
fronts. Inland cities may ever so'
productive, but they are db'.y feed, j
era to cities situated by He water, 1
and which have secured, weir ad- 1
vantages by providing pr<p?erly for
dho transportation and tisndling of
produce. This is the sednjL of our .
largest cities, New Yorj|? Chicago
anT! San Francisco. Nat oral advahl
tages enter
must be made the most bC
Those cities just (nesfU^Bed a e
not so secure in their supremacy as 1
they may seem to be.-lU^lr cbam.:
hers of commerce are on the
alert to cope with the %ofaircUUon 1
with such cities as iloiten, Milwaukee
and Seattle Sucb JF treat elty
aa New Tock..yrlth Its'/harbor might
m
is beyond competition, but it Is hot.
Smaller cities make the most of
any opportunity for dividing Its
trade.
Now, all this applies with equal
force to us. We have tlie railroads,
and we will profit by tliem to the
extent that we relate them to our
water traffic. It la apparent that oar
water.front (acuities have lagged
behind In our general advance. Bat
If we are been to take advantage
nothing can prevent ua from forging
to the front of coast cities in out
state and in the South. To offer the
beat of shipping facilities will mean
the drawing of trade to this port.
The prompt action of onr city council
In this piatter reVeals the proper
spirit of willingness to take a forward
step when the way 1b shown.
The work of deepening and widen,
ing the river channel is progressing.
Now la the opportune time to make
adequate provision for our water
traffic of the future.
" In dofhg thla the writer believes
that we ehail find that the waterfront
will prove to be our most im:portent
commercial asset. We are
near the eea and wc have a moat productive
section of land all about us.
JBy_Alertness and aggressiveness wc
can capture the trade of this coun.
try and will soon become 4ts most
important distributing and manufacturing
center.
Yours for tho advancement of
Washington.

CROSS SEAL
MUGS
Few people have any idea of the
magnitude of the Red Cross Christinas
Seal Campaign This year over
100,000,000 seals have been printed
and distributed. if placed end to end
theae seals would extend nearly 2,
*w iniicd or prmcnc?iijr irom aew
York to Salt Lake City. They have
been sent to over 25,000 different
agents and will be sold and handled
by an army of not lesa than 100,000
volunteers, including men, women
the children. Million* of advertising
circulars have been scattered
throughout the country, and so thor.
oughly has the advertising campaign
been oranized that it is doubtful if
many people in the more populous
I states of the country will not have
heard of the Red Cross Seal and its
mission in the prevention of tuberculosis'
It is hoped that at least 50,|
000.000 seals may he sold this year.
The principle upon which the sole
i of seals is based is that, every cent
except what Httle is needed to cover
the actual cost of printing and hand,
ling shall he spent for tuberculosis
work In the community where the
seals are sold.
