Everyone admitted that we should have these activities for the protec. tlon of the nation, yet in spite | of a great amount of talk these Industries did not develop. If it were possible to take a argo of goods to Pery and sel! it at a profit, business would soon be booming, but it is not | profitable to do this, If Seattle capitalists knew a man whom they were confident could take their money and with ft build @ railroad in Peru that Would be profitable to them, it ‘would take no time to raise the smoney, but they do not know #uch @ man, therefore they will buy a bond issued by some South American city or state, where the risk is not so great. Now I certainly believe that We do have the best engineers in the world in the United > States, but they have not had « the special training necessary to inspire the necessary confidence in capital, and furthermore, I do not know of any great number Of them who are in a position to Feceive thie training. As Mr. Dye explained in this letter, the problem of south American development is not one only of building the rail road; this would be the smallest part of the project. It would be necessary to carry out a colo- nization scheme at the same time. If there is any one thing that American capital is afraid of it is any venture whose success de pends on colonization. A very large per cent of our Irrigation projects have gone thru bank- ruptey some time in their exist- ence; the original promoters have lost a large per cent of the money that they put into these ventures; the success of the. ventures depended on coloniaa- tion, The English have been in this foreign development business for generations. The English ven tures are bandied by men who have had « lifetime's training in this work, aio the colonists are 4 nearly always Englishmen. Also Engiand must the goods that the colonists raise England wants South Ameri- can wheat, meat and copper; we don't. Englishmen are looking for an opportunity to immigrate; Americans are looking for no such opportunity. Lam certainly hopeful that we have Will solve this problem in the next few years, but I am afraid * that we have a lot of difficulties , to overcome before we arrive at Be: wuccens. I also believe that the 4 only way to success lies thru a wide understanding of these M questions by the voters of this country. , The Seatt Ry mall, out of etty, bee $5.00, tm the at wv tate for 8 mer How much do you use the railroads?

You recall your envy of the village banker when he returned from a trip to New erk or some other metropolis. To travel 50 miles by railroad, back in President Harrison’s day, was a boyhood beyond the dreams of avarice. Today the boy yawns as he climbs into the Pullman for a trip of 500 or 1,000 miles.

Most people buy coal in lump size—merely because they al- ways have purchased that size. As a matter of fact, certain nut or egg size coals blended to meet your requirements are invariably as satisfactory and often are much the better fuels for furnace, range and heater. Nut coals cost us less to han- de—you effect worth-while savings by buying it and at the same time obtain at least the same and probably better results than with lump.
