City Needs a Payroll “The brutal truth is that Seattle is dependent almost entirely upon seasonal industries now,” says Capt. Paysse, “such as lumber and fishing. And the big logging camps are getting farther and farther away from the city as the timber is cut. The city is really at a most critical stage of its growth. What we need is something more than shipments of goods from points thruout the country, going over our | wharves, and then to sea, We thus get only a comparative dribbling of money out of the enormous quan tity of stuff we handle with our | docking facilities. Seattle should make tts*exports |right here. Ship the raw product into Seattle factories, do the work here in Seattle that would provide a steady payroll for thousands of [men and women, and then ship out the finished article, whatever it may be. Result: Our imports are | vastly increased, also our exports, jand the city has that thing which it needs, a big industrial payroll.” c Sites Held for Big Prices The port warden asserts manu- facturers who might otherwise have located in Seattle have been pre- vented from doing so by the fact that owners of factory es hold ty at exorbitant prices. ity own this land,” hen, when a com- pany evinces a willingness to come to Seattle and employ our people, if it agrees to keep such- and-such a number on the pay- roll for such-and-such a length of time, LET'S GIVE THIS COMPANY A BUILDING SITE. “Let us not throw obstacles fn the way of these industries, Let us, instead, offer them every Induce. | ment to come here. “I know the city {s facing a prob- lem right now in how to get along Less Contained in Germany’s formal to the last American note de- that if necessary, “Germany agree to the placing of four ent ships under the Ameri flag that Americans might be ta safe Passage through) zone.” Germany will not abandon her @ Warfare, but it is hoped some agreetaent may be reach Satisfactory to the United States fo the he safety of Americans.

Awoke this morn from a sweet dream o’ peace To find a Pullman porter standing by his bed. And to Abou the Pullman Porter said: *“*Scuse me, sah, but dis yere am Seattle!” The long train stopped with grunt and jar and rattle The Noble sprang from bed and wailed: “Too late! Too late to greet the Imperial Potentate!” But, lo! the Imperial Caravan was later still— Impatient with the City’s Key awaited Hiram Gill! With the arrival, at 10 o’clock—an hour and a half later than schedule—at the King st. station of the special train beating Imperial Potentate Frederick R. Smith, sovereign of the Shrine, of Rochester, N. Y., and his suite, Shrine week was ushered In Monday morning. In the surging crowd which jammed the approaches to the station was lost an obscure-looking individual and a salt-and-pepper suit, a side coat pocket of which contained a corncob pipe and a sack of plug- cut tobacco. Nobody noticed the obscure-looking man—there was too much else to notice, bands and bands and bands, and drill patrols in gorgeous uniforms of Arabic designs, and important personages in automobiles, with badges on their chests. The obscure person wormed his way thru the crowd and thru the ite to the train shed. He apologized meekly to excited Shriners who stepped on his toes. A police rescued him and thrust him forward to where the welcoming com ee waited. He actually stood beside J. E. Chilberg, chairman of the Nile temple executive committee. As it turned out, the obscure-looking one was none other than Hiram C. Gill, mayor of the city of Seattle, come to extend to the Impe- rial potentate the key to the convention city. Hiram seemed overco: with embararssment amid all that pomp and splendor. But the imperial potentate—whose nam has been mentioned, is plain Smith—turned out to be a jovial sovereign and a regular fellow, who grasped Hiram'’s hand and pumped it, and listened to Hiram’s mumbled amenities, and pumped his hand some more, And everybody yelled and the bands played “ -tiddie-tum!
