Scarcely more than half the sum has yet been realized. But at a dinner of business men this evening it is confidently expected that the full success of the cam will be announced, This is vital. Ten thousand tons of berries are swelling toward fruition on: the hundreds of little ranches of the valley, the adjacent hillsides and the islands. Ten thousand tons!

Fares andthe tne Coal P which, have spread the fame of “Paul” and the valley into every state. Last year and in preceding years, this problem was handled by these farmers unaided. Seattle knew little and needed to. know little of the industry except to share in the delights of eating the finished product. But a winter of abnormal commercial ¢onditions, ,of shrinking values, of muddled business affected disas- trously even so sound an institution as the co-operative cannery association. It left the farmers “strapped” for funds with which to operate their Plants, They ‘found themselves this spring in the same paralyzed condition of many another important, well-conducted industry. Seattle, Tacoma and Oregon business leaders have helped them reorganize their company. This concern must have a million dollars with which to conduct its 1921 operations; its finished product of the season will be worth upwards of $5,000,000. The farmers them- selves have raised $150,000. Tacoma raised $300,000. Seattle so far has subscribed $150,000 and is called upon for twice that amount. Oregon is offering to com- plete the million. Seattle simply MUST come across 100 per cent with its quota, That is plain. This canning project is a big, worth-while Northwest enterprise that has to suc- ceed if the farming region is to be prosperous and successful. Seattle, which is looked to by the valley ranchers for leadership and co-operation, must meet the situation. ‘ e+ ££ & Seattle’s second test of Northwest leadership arises out of the Tacoma “boycott” agitation. A Chamber of Commerce committee is meeting today to canvass our neighbor’s grievance over publicity ques- tions and later is to go to Tacoma to talk matters over. It goes without saying that this trouble can be speed- ily chased away. All it needs is for both parties to understand the facts and to discuss them in a fair- minded way. If some half-baked publicity agency in this city is willfully robbing Tacoma of her due, it will be a simple matter to hunt it out and squelch it. Seattle does not need to steal its neighbors’ attractions. Seattle does not want to steal them.

A central committee of five will be organized to direct the boycott, it is said, Tacoma business men say that Portland wholesale houses are calling in salesmen from Oregon routes and sending them to Tacoma.

It is estimated by Tacoma dealers this boycott will take several hundred | thousand dollars worth of business | away from “ttle, “Portland sells just as c eaply as/ seattle,” say Tacoma ants. | “Seattle can give a litt r serv ice, but of late she hasn’t even been doing that.” Tacoma business men say frankly they do not any faith in a dele gation from Seattle putting an end to the abuses and petty propaganda which has been conducted by Seattle | press bureaus for severa Pars. “We have listéned to fair promises many times, and that’s as far as it got us,” is the sentiment often ex: | pressed, “We will listen to the Seat Ueites again, but we are not suppll cants or pleaders.
