Every resident of Seattle and King county is a stockholder in this great enterprise. He should interest himself in it and take pride in the wonderful accomplishment of Seattle's system of public docks. These docks are conceded by ex- perts all over the United States to be the most modern, the most ef. {ficient and the best equipped with handling devices of any system of harbor terminals in this country. Largest in U. 8, ‘The existing Smith's Cove pler is - |at the present time the largest ocean terminal in the United States and the new Smith's Cove pier which is now belng built, will be the largest single ocean terminal in the world. These two ‘piers will berth 22 big §,800-ton ocean-going vessels at one time. Over these public docks dafly are passing exports and imports to and from every country on the globe— vegetable ofls from Manchuria, cop- per from Peru, coffee from Guate mala and Brazil, rubber from the Dutch East Indies, tea and a great variety of commodities from Japan, silk from China, olive oil from Italy, hemp from the Philippines, spices from British East Africa, hides from Siberia, meat from Aus- tralia, chemicals from Enginnd, cot- ton and wool manufactured goods from Ireland and Scotland, ond so on.

Modem Bridge Work For Five Years By EDWIN J. BROWN 's Leading Dentist 168 Columbia Street I have been studying crown and |bridgework for a quarter of a cen tury, and have worked faithfully te |master a system that ts safe, sant tary and satisfactory. Other den- tists can do it if they will work and learn. Skill and genius are acquired by experience and arduous labor, My system of bridgework is simple and inexpensive, made with a view to durability and utility. | A toothbrush will easily reach and cleanse every surface of my sanitary bridgework; it is cleaner than the average natural tooth. « No charge for consultation, and my work is guaranteed. I do not operate on people's pock- etbooks. I have elevated dentistry al the Atlantic as a great ocean |highway. Then, Seattle, if we are |far-sighted enough to properly equip jour great natural harbor with com- |modious piers, warehouses and other |terminal facilities, may well rank |among the leading commercial cities of the world. To accomplish this | we cannot stop with a $6,500,000 in- jvestment. To establish an adequate |free port zone we would need an [additional $6,000,000 ~— investment. Yet, there ts no question that the return on $6,000,000 invested in a free port zone would be as great, if not greater, than the return we have already had from the invest ment in the six terminal units now in operation. It is for this reason the citizens of Seattle should make a closer study of the work of the port com. mission and the staff doing busi ness on behalf of the public in ex- cess of $2,000,000 a year. The future of Seattle depends, to a very large extent, in the far. sightedness of the port commission, in the efficiency and enterprise of the staff employed by the port com mission. No greater mistake, how ever, could be made than for the People of this city not to keep them selves fully advised, not only as to the nature and character of the public harbor terminals, but the vol ume of business and the way the Port commission and the admiris- tration staff employed by the port commission are handling this for eign and domestic commerce which les at the yery basis of Seattle's present and future prosperity. SOLDIER NOT MET BY SAN FRANCISCO, July 11.—When Rolla ©. Dudley returned from France and marched up Market st. he cast an expectant eye along the throngs that lined the curbs. But his wife had refrained deliberately from being on hand to welcome him, he says in a suit for divorce filed today. Since their marriage in San Jose in 1910, Dudley says, Cora Dudley has been unfriendly in their domestic relations. In July, 1917, he went to Frar nd Mrs, Dudley never wrote, he says.
