But teday, in this more sober era, we are inclined to listen to the words of the friendly outsider, even When some of his remarks are unpleasant, Perhaps the old “Seattle spirit” WAS a rapacious, greedy, selfish spirit. Perhaps Seattle folks generally were inclined at times to think in terms of Seattle first and Beattle Ofly and-to let the rest of the state go hang. (Our Tacoma neighbors have _ iittimated as much.) Perhaps some of otir town pillars have been exploiters of our Matural resources to their own advantage principally, the public advantage a little bit aha posterity’s detriment.

We'll learn to think in constructive rather than extractive terms, Fer, as Woehlke concludes: “The resources of Western Washington, the energy and ability of its inhailtants, \ Are too great to admit of more than momentary hesitation in their development. © Puget Sdund was pre-ordained by virtue of location and natural endowment to fank : Philadelphia in commercial and industrial importance, to become summer, vaca- countty as popular as Florida and California are in winter. limb toward the goal there will be, as at present, pauses to take breath, in plain sight is too rich for a long halt.” iil f i. a% at. i: 5 sf [ i ‘ itt Fs} FERRIC i i : i ln I : f i 4 ty t & if i j F q i 27 a | a E k ; i | | i me 3 & 8 F i : { ets cli Pe a 2 ih i i i Proposes lining the Lin- way from New York the Golden Gate, and Highway from Chicago Florida, with m ial trees, eee | When Attila the Hun died, he as buried in an unknown river in s. triple tomb with alternate | walls of gold, silver and iron, | * Blaves who buried him were exe- uted to kéep the grave secret.
