However, the most potent reason for th xposition’s Milure ts found \in the purpose of a party of the original promoters to “engineer a clever real estate spequlation, It was figured that the exposition was to bring improvement to the par r waate of land which was ch sen for the site, and the promoters were to profit by thts tnearned tnerement by becoming owners of this land. This influenced the choice of the oxposition’s alte, dnd the moat im ite failure was the inaccessibility of this site. To reach the place a boat trip from Washington of U2 houre was re quired, and there never has been a time when there were enough boats to handle the traffic comfortably In addition to which there were no facilities at the exposition for covering the ground, and the vinit or was subjected from the begin ning to all manner of petty impo sition and discomfort A determined effort will be made in congress to foll the efforts of the lobby to try to make the govern ment “a goat” for this losing spec ulation J. ¥, Maren; t rer, BR.

Rovums 1007-1008, American Bank Buliding, ee AN There are reasons for all things, and there are good reasons why you should familiarize your self with the conditions affecting the future growth of the town of Port Simpson. You will agree with us that what has happened in one place will come to pass in another under iden tically the same condi- tions, and when one is familiar with the place where these conditions have created certain re sults, he can judge the future of the other place, or city, with a reason able degree of accuracy. Believing that you agree with us in the above assertions, we are appealing to your reason and knowledge. A good, safe, natural harbor is the first, and perhaps the most impor- tant factor that into the consideration of a new seaport town. This harbor must be free from dangerous obstructions and bad currents; it must have sufficient an chorage room for all the shipping that may call there, and with deep wa- ter up to the very shores, for the cost of loading and handling freight for bids the use of any means except docks to which vessels can tie to and unload upon with out rehandling their car go. If you are familiar with the Pacific coast, you know that there are only two such harbors along the whole West- ern board the United = States San Francisco bay and Puget sound—and only one along the whole western Canadian coast—Port enters sea of Simpson. True, Van couver is a large ship ping center, but it is a part of Puget sound These American har bors have been mighty factors in building up the cities on their shores. They determined the lo- cation of the rail- road terminals and the growth of commerce that came through their ates, And as a result the cities are far in ad- vance, both in business and population, of any of the other Western cities. The Canadian harbor, Port Simpson, although equal to either of the oth er two in every respect, has not been developed. No enormous docks line its shores; no busy city crowns its banks. Why? Because there is another factor sary—railroads the Union Pa projected westward, selected bay that was ade to handle t that the road divert from the former route around the Horn Their selection was entirely due to the natural advantages of the harbor, and for this reason alone Fran great neces When ific was its San engineers Francisco as the harbor quate freight would le San the est shipping port on the cisco became Pacific, and the town grew with remarkable speed The country around it settled up, and long be fore Seattle was even a town, San Francisco was a city of two hundred and fifty thousand peo ple Thus did nature, combined with the rail road, make a city of na tional importance. Ship per patronized the rar id because it effecteda saving of several thou Sand miles’ haul and sev eral moeths’ time. ‘The vast v@umg of freight reshipped at this point supplied work thou- sands of men in various capacities, and the busi ness men of the city built up immense trades Later another road was built across the con- tinent, farther to the north, and a new harbor the Puget came into prominence; another town built up, and as it in turn offered advantages to shippers it became an important point, and Seattle to grow You perhaps remem ber the time when First avenue lots were worth one or two hundred dol lars apiece, and you can easily remember when Third avenue lots could be bought for two hun dred doll Today these same lots are earning eight per cent on a hundred thousand dollars. Yet it only about twenty-two years Sound began irs is since the railroads brought their first through shipment of freight. Where else in the world is it possible for two hundred dollars to grow—yes, literally grow—into one hundred thousand dollars in that time? One is almost tempted to say nowhere, but there is one place, and only one — Port Simpson. As in the days of long ago, when the engineers of that pioneer Western road selected a terminal where a huge freight shipping trade could be handled, the engineers of a new road—the Hud- son Bay Pacific—have selected Port Simpson as the terminal of the short- est transcontinental line in America; a road that is destined, because of its very shortness, to be- come the greatest freight-hauling road in America. All of the factors that entered ‘into the up- building of San Francis- co are present at Port Simpson. The harbor is equally as large and much safer. The dis- tance between the Atlan- tic and the Pacific is again shortened as much by the new road as it was by the older road, and shippers are even more eager today to cut down transporta tion cost than they were in the = sixties. Port Simpson will grow as grew San Francisco or Seattle, and because f the same reasons. But other enter into the question here The road that will reach the Pacific at Port Simpson not only offers the ship per a saving from the Atlantic to the Pacific of over two thousand miles, but it shortens the present route from Eu to the Orient by 3,000 miles The natural resources of the to Port Simpson are un equaled by those of any city in the world today here hundred thousand square miles factors rope over country tributary are tive 320,000,000 acres—of ex ceedingly fertile land, with a climate that pert mits cattle to ream at large any month in the year Such a body of land will furnish s and employment ‘ 000,000 st and the formatior coa that it must APPEAL TO REASO all come to this one port the supplies consumed by the people of the in terior cities and rural communities must come by way of Port Simpson, There is a mineralized country tributary that surpasses the mineral re- sources of the combined Western mining while the lumbering fishing possibilities stupendous These the bare facts and the logical re sons why Port Simpson will be a second Seattle, and in a short time will have a population that will surpass San Fran- cisco. We are selling busi ness lots now—lots that from their very location cannot fail to be the first states, ind are are to increase in value | when construction work is commenced on the railroad. As this work will be in full swing by the middle of next sum- mer, and people every- where will be talking Port Simpson and sell- ing their homes to come | to this new country, where they will swell | the numbers that will | find employment build- } ing the docks, working | on the road, construct- | ing the buildings and | filling the multitude of } positions that are to be | found in a new town. | All of the thousands of tons of steel that will be used in railroad bridges, | the steel rails, the steam shovel supplies, the food and clothes of the men along the road, the build- ing material, the stocks of merchandise and no- tions and the thousand and one things that are needed in a new town will have to be handled, checked and delivered. Truly, here is a gigantic task, and the growth of the town will be rapid from the first. Your knowledge of the towns that have grown up on the banks of the other two harbors on this coast is sufficient to en- able you to judge accu- | rately the growth and future of Port Simpson. The conditions there are superior to those that have made Seattle grow. The Alaska trade will practically all go there, because it can be sup- plied at a saving of two wecks’ time and a sail of 600 miles. This is where you can place your money, feel- ing satisfied that it will earn you more than a similar investment can earn in any other place. Buy a lot in Port Simp- son now, while the price low—$200 for inside lots and $300 for corners. Hold those lots for five or ten years, and for ev- ery —_ you invest ou will get one sande’ dollars; or buy now and sell in a year or two at a profit of $4,000 or $5,000. Every sea port town with a large, safe harbor and railroad transportation facilities 8s now has done this well for the men who bought early and sold after the | business section of the town was well built up Port Simpson will not be an exception to the rule Cast your fortunes with Port Simpson, the last fine, commodious harbor on the Pacific coast where the poor man can buy a lot with ut mortgaging his fu ture which will make } him wealtl Port Simpson Townsite Co. 614 Pioneer Bidg.
