Until this time the only feasible way to the wonderland was by the southwest corner to Paradise valley, on the south slope of the mountain. Pierce county, the Rainier national forest and the Rainier National park are co- operating in the construction of still another highway thru the northwest corner, by way of Fairfax, which by this time next summer is expected to make Carbon glacier, on the north slope, easily accessible by automobile. This last mentioned route will be the shortest way into the park. both from Seattle and Ta- coma, Because of this fact and the wonderful scenic features it will open up, it is expected to be also the most popular as soon as it becomes known. Already plans are being laid for the erection of at least one big north side hotel. All of which is pleasant to record. Washington people are just beginning to realize that the tourist business may be made as valuable a state asset as the wheat fields of the east side, the irrigated fruit and hay district of central Washington or the for- ests of Puget sound. We have everything a region needs to entice travelers here by the hundreds of thousands—except accommodations for them. We have the best sum- THE SEATTI LETTERS Has “Prince” dltor The Star: Your correspondent, one Wm, Mor- rison, is awfully presumptuous, Fe actually thinks he has the oldest book!

T. Clark, pub Melty director of - the Preabyte- rian church, and tells us that there are 1,200,000,000 human be ings on this “going crumb” of quick stuff we call the earth, who are not Christians, but who munt be mer climate that God made, scenie attractions of innumerable variety and unsurpassed beauty and grandeur, and plenty of good transporfation facilities to the Northwest. Now for more attractive hotels and organized machinery for making the stay of strangers pleasant and profitable to them. The national park should be opened on all sides with good roads and good trails, with comfortable camps and big hotels, The Olympic peninsula should be further improved in like manner. Mt. Baker, Mt. Adams, Mt. St. Helens, the Lake Chelan country, the San Juan islands, the ocean beaches of Pacifie and Grays Harbor counties, the north bank of the Columbia, all these and other similar natural wonders ought to be made easily available for the enjoyment of the et needs and probably soon will obtain, a big tourist hotel. It will be an asset for the whole Northwest when Tacoma realizes this ambition. Seattle, too, must erect a hotel that will be a distinetive and memorable sojourning place for the distant vis- itors. And that will be another all-Northwest asset. Time was when some narrow-minded Seattleites were frankly lukewarm over improv- ing the national park, because the park is closer to Tacoma. Time was when some narrow-minded Tacomans fought the construction of roads into the north side of the park, because they could be reached from Seattle direct without passing thru Tacoma. Such jealousies and follies must be forgotten. No one city can turn the gigantic stream of tourist travel into this distant corner of the country. No one city could ac- commodate it, anyway. It is a matter for the whole state, co-operating with neighbor states and British Columbia, to work out. , H Hi el il i i Fee i i =f ry € z ° a Fé be } Dede got out of jail, at that.

The children of Seattle and their friends raised the money to buy the elephant, the Post-intelligencer add in, $978 to make the $3,500 neces sary, but the park board has the expense of houwing and fecding the animal, providing a special keeper and meeting any other expense | which may arise.
