EATTLE STAR agazine Writer Holds Post-Mortem Over ‘Seattle Spirit’, DECLARES OLD GRA ATTITUDE DEAD HERE ty Jarred Out of Selfish Spirit of Old and Now We're All Pulling Together, “Sunset” Editor Finds; Change Late Is the Seattle Spirit dead? Yes—dender’n a doornail! And glad of it. “This according to Walter V. Woehlke, associate editor o Sunset Magazine. . But, he says in an extensive article in the September | of that publication, we'of Seattle are glad it f dead. And without it, Seattle, he prophesies, will “be a com- unity of finer grain, a better place to live in, to do busi-| with.” s How he comes to this conclusion is extensively set forth 3 with his post-mortem of the allegedly dead spirit, | supply | death to the industry, yet It ts a safe | Cracking. it: year a Seattle daity paper, the thick blue mist of busi @epression stealing into evry | of the city, decided that ing drastic must be done.

So he off and planted a journalistic on Seattle's chin, following | he initial punch with a series of | rigt and straight jabs, all for the of the patient. “Beattle’s back is to the wall” the jist, very sincere in opinion | with the best of motives, an. to his fellowcitizens—rival | Ustening gleefully with dis-| v ears, ‘We must grid our loins, Mi up our sleeves and go to it if) ; to retain our standing.

It still is dead. Let's hope It stays dead. “The ‘Seattle Spirit’ was born tn 1898, when the Klondike rush be gan, It died early in 1920 when the last shipyard closed its gute and shyt down, Between these two dates, in the short space of twanty-four years, it built a great city amid the stumps of Puget Sound, created a world port, made many millionaires. And now it Hes in the gaorgue, dead of ex haustion at the tender age of twenty-four, What will Seattle do without it? “Without {ts now defnnet ‘xpirit’ Seattle will be a community of finer grain, a better place to live in. to do business with. For while the ‘Seattle Spirit’ was effective, in its eusence it was merely a manifestation of | bold individual rapacity, of daring greed and audacious, selfishness lacking In vision. In its operations it was extractive rather than con- structive, and it died when extrac tion became difficult, when construc tive work becaine necessary. “Let mo explain by conctete tn. | stances, | “To see the results of the ‘Seattle Spirit’ in their most aggravated form, | one must look at the salmon fisheries | of Puget sound and adjacent waters, at the condition of this industry in| Alaska where Seattle and San Fran claco are competing with one another in the race to determine which can | do most in the extermination of the! world’s finest food fish. | “The principal variety of gatmon caught and canned in Western Wash: | ington Is the sockeye. The schools of this splendid fish enter the strait of | Juan de Fuca from the Pacific, lazily make their. way between the numer-| ous islands of the Gulf of Georgia.) travel north into British Colymbia| waters and go 1,500 miles up the} Praser river and its tributaries to the whing grounds in the high moun. tains, where they die after the act of propagation has been performed. The! annual run is subject to wide fuctua- tions, reaching its maximum propor. | tions every fourth year. The indus-| try’s greatest year was in 1913 when | the traps, purse seines, gill nets and | hooks supplied the canneries with enough fish to turn out 1,600,000 casea. “It was a great year. Fishermen and canners reaped a golden harvest. “Let no guilty sockeye met thru,’ was their motto. They did their beat to live up to it. And four years later, in 1917, they turned out with more and larger traps, seines and nets to break the record. Didn't the big pack | of 1913 indicate the tremendous size of the quadrennia) sockeye run? It did not obcur to them that no salmon ever spawns in a can, that the size of the future run is determined not by those that are caught but by the | number that get thru and reach the spawning grounds, Honestly, the canners were astonished four years ago when, increased gear and r¢cord prices notwithstanding, the eye back dropped to a quarter of the 1913 output, to about 400,000 cases, CANNED FISH CAN'T SPAWN “according to the ealendar, this) sammer another big run is due: ac: | cording to inexorable Mother Nature, | it won't arrive, Fish, that wer canned can't spawn, and fish that) weren't spawned simply can't be) caught and canned, If the sockeye | pack this summer, reaches 100,000 | cases, it will be very large. Also, if | it reaches this figure, it will be the | last. According to the best expert | opinion, the sockeye fisheries of Puget sound and the Fraser river will | be as valuable as a soviet ruble, as| flourishing as the republican party in Perfectly Pasteurized Milk FOR EVERY § ATTLE HOME Thousands of Seattle homes have found that Kristoferson Milk and Kristoferson Service meet the most exacting demands for Pur- ity, High delivery.
