AN OPPORTUNITY.

ropean wat is not going to seriously
effect the fortunes . f The Fanaroa-Pa
vitic lntern.itioti.il Exposition which is ;
to ojten in San Francis..n February i
20 It was me time thought that a
postponement of the rXj.osition w< tid
be necessary hut ..fter t careful con
sideration of the situation tli*- man
agement it w is early decided to pro
ceed with the exposition, which had
made such progress and tin* people >ft
San Francisco and the state had in
vested so much in the enterjirise that
it was almost necessary that they
should proceed
Subsequent events have proven the
wisdom of this decision. The war will
not seriously interfere because most of
the countries will not be prevented
from participating on account of the
war. Most of the countries will carry I
out their original plans although now I
in voiced in the European war which!
taxes their resources severely. Those j
countries which are now at peace in
Europe are Increasing their appropria
tions inil preparing to make even a
.iter display which in the changing
-n.lition f things is a must wise and
mmendaHe move fr mi a business
-andpoint where new demands, new
markets and an expanding commerce
- now oi>en to them
Holland f- r example, increased her
pi .•priatK i' from one hundred to t >ur
.ndred rb usand dollars Spain has
reluded since the war began, to par
•:cii»ate and has made a libera! ap
propriation for that purpose, while
'talv. France Turkey arid Japan will
irry out their original plans South
American countries have com- forward
with magntfleant buildings and most
'iher.cl appropriations for the purpose
f participating on a scale which sur
prised the other nations by their liber
tine and their grasp of the situation
whit h they are using to the utmost in
lvertislng the great countries to the
south of us and in placing the wonder
ful resources of their countries before
'he world The exposition building
will be completed and everything in
readiness in February to receive the
tourists from the Eastern states and
ther portions of the world and the in
'icallons are that while there may be
i great loss foam European patronag'
this yyill. in a large measure be com
: pen sat oil bv the much larger patronag
due t.i the diverting the great tourist
| trade from Europe to the West
"See America First" movement will
receive an impetus during the next few
months which all the advertising of the
people -f the West could not have se
ured it half a century or more
The gr--.it San Francisco show will
'■c one "f ihe sights which will attract
nmy thousands tu the Pacific cast
nd then "See America First" will hav
• pel a boom which will fix upon the
reat West as the most favored land
for the tourist as well as the great Held
f the future for investments and com
mercial enterprise- It is at this point
it Alaska has an opportunity thrus
upon her w hich should be grasped and
made the best possible use of in ad
■ ertising its resources and it- wonder
• il seen-, beauties which cannot tie
uplieated --r approached in its gran
dure and extent in any other portion of
he world
A'aska s an ideal country for the
rises so much so that even an at
mpt to catalogue all the wonders t
■s. en ■ r to attempt a yv-rd pic-tun
f ihem would require- the use of super
Hvc terms and bear the impress of
xaggeration while the facts ire that
words cannot convey but a vague idea
- f dl that Alaska has in store for the
■■ urist and the lover of nature as ex
hibited in Alaska on the most magni
ficant scale
The opportunity for Alaska is one
mode so easy to grasp that the- wonder
i- that there is so much apathy mani
f -ted to tile Alaskans in diverting the
great t -urist trade Northward after it
has tea lied the Pacific coast the com
ing summer.
The people of Nome by concerted ac -
tion and co-operation with the com
mercial bodies of San Francisco and
m -r.- particularly with Seattle could
undoubtedly bring many hundreds of
tourists t - Norn.- by way --f the inside
passage.
The railroads of the East, the busi
ness men of Seattle and all the steam
ship lines running vessels to the North
would, prompted by selfish business in
terest, if for no other reason, heartily
join in w ith such a movement and suc
cess would he assureci from the start.
While the rest of the great Pacific
coast is preparing to grasp the oppor
tunities which will he offered are the
people of J^onie going to lv Idle and
indifferent ?
SEATTLE’S SHIPPING.
There are at the present time fifty
deep water ships in the harbor of
Seattle loading or to load here for for
eign ports or for tie Atlantic seaport?
of 'he United States making the v*o
flge ’hrough the Panama Canal It Is
*
t greatest deep-water tonnage wf^i
there has ever been in this port at any
f ne time And Seattle lias for many
years occupied an Important position
imong the great ports of the world
It is a fact scarcely known or real
'z-d elsewhere than In this city and
not fully among our own people, that
the port of Puget Sound has been for
some years the second American port
in the volume of the tonnage employed
In its foreign trade. It is also and it
long has held the position of the firs'
American seaport in the proportionate
share of Its tonnage which Is under the
American flag There have been years
In which the American tonnage em
p! ved in its foreign trade was in ac
tual volume in excess of that from any
| other single American ocean port. A'
present it stands second only to New
York in that respect.
During the year 1913 there cleared
from this port in the foreign trade 3.
fu,9,304 tons, is compared with 14.370 -
f.19 from New York, and 2.766,755 from
1 New Drlenns which stands third In
the list of \merlcan ports Cur ship
ping is nearly twice as great In tonnage
ns that of either Poston or Baltimore
and exceeds that of Philadelphia h\
1 pe.iriy 1 non nan tons
These w ere figures for 1913 The ex
pa ns Ion of i,nr overseas trade promises
to break nil records this year, and the
presence of the big fleet in the port of
Seattle it the present time is an !n
Idlcatton "f the growth - f our trade
Germany and Austria are about the
jorlv large countries of the world with
which we have not a direct trade now
and the war alone is responsible for
the cuttings ff ..f the lines t German*
