It marked the launch ing of the commercial body Into the business activities of the city, as well as the bringing together of many active business men in a new and progressive re!ation. The speakers included Governor Meade, May Ballinger, Judge Burke and Colonel W. T. Perkins. The governor, who was late tn ar riving, owing to a delayed train paid a fitting tribute to the energy of the young business men of Se- attle and prophesied that the Com mercial club, as organized by them would become a strong factor in th up-building of the mercantile and industrial interests of the city Speaks for Reform Mayor Ballinger directed his re- marks towards upholding a policy of civic development along moral lines and was enthusiastically ap plauded for his sentiments. He declared that the gamblers and others who live off the earnings of hard working men should be made to realize that Seattle was no/ place for them. The mayor complimented the club and said that he saw in it a concentration of power and energy that would do much for the well fare of the city. Judge Burke spoke principally of the prospective heavy trade between Seattle and the Orient, which it was of the greatest Importance to cultivate, He believed it would be one of the bulwarks of Seattle's future’s greatness, The Alaska Trade Colonel Perkins urged the claims of Alaska’s trade upon the club. He thought this trade would figure evecy new year as an increased fac- tor in the business of the city.
