SEATTLE IS LAST * WORD IN REARING OF MODERN CITY Both Business and Bcsidcntial Sections Are Marked With Distinction i am tempted to characterize Seattle as a metropolis de luxß, but at any rate it stands for the last word In city building. In both its business and residential sections it bears a distinction that I find hard to hit in words. The bigness of its city Ideals, the scope of its harbor achievements and its industrial aims, (ill one with amazement—especially when contrasted with the want of these things which one finds in many lackadaisical communities. There are only a few cities 'n the world that have such a wealth of native trees and vegetation, and here in Seattle the skilful hand of the landscape engineer has added a charm that is irresistible. For miles and miles the parkway streets wind around the slopes of the hills over looking, in places, both Puget Sound and the lakes. A resident of Seattle said to me on my recent trip that the people of that city were obsessed with home building. The settings were so beau tiful that even the men with the smaller incomes were continually tempted to Invest more money than such man in the average city usually put into homes. But he added that X this idealism of itself had paid out > financially. Very few home build ers in Seattle failed to see the t.hing through, and the enhanced value of property far more than offsets the original cost. The hills of Seattle are linked for ever with It. H. Thomson. Steep as the hills are to-day, they are all accessible by motor and street car, although in places the trolley gives way to the cable. But In my years in Seattle there were hills so pre cipitous that to get up them one had almost to climb like an ape. Thomson was city engineer. He was more than an engineer; he was a dreamer of city dreams. I sup pose lie might have gone on merely digging sewers ajid laying out streets as most city cnKineers do; but he had ihe dream habit, and his visions of the future Seattle were so incredibly big that he was not taken seriously. But he kept on dreaming and kept kept on submitting his impossible plans to the city council, until fin ally those city fathers themselves began fco dream. Then they turned Thomson loose upon those inacces sible hills that stood in the way of city development. He took . g streams of water up there and built long sluiceways through the air over Seattle, and he washed those hills into Puget Sound. This was the famous Seattle regrade, which was done between 1906 and 1909. It was the most daring job any city ever undertook. Yet when it was finished and the streets graded and paved, it was worth millions and millions of dollars to Seattle. The Seattle Chamber of Commerce and Commercial Club is a consolid ation of civic bodies, and typifies a concentration of effort. Each W member, and there are thousands, affiliates with some particular bu reau, and this personal service is furthered through a system of spe cial committees. Some of the bu reaus are those designated as Alas ka, foreign trade, Washington state development, industrial convention and tourist, transportation, civic, research and statistics, retail trade, national affairs and taxation. Then there is a members' council, made up of men from every branch of the work. The industrial bureau has made a complete .analysis of existing indus tries, and a thorough inquiry into the elements of possible industrial growth. It must be manifest to anyone who studies city development that cities do not just happen. It is a fine piece of industrial and cirio engineering to build a well rounded and beautiful community, and the skilful conduct of this work is de veloping a new profession in Amer ica—that of civic organization and a co-ordination of the powers that make a modern city, in fact, city building is a great new business in which some of the best brains in the world are engaged. I doubt if there is one man .'n Seattle who would want the town to go back to liquor. Up to the time when the present war law went Into effect, individuals could ship in spec ified quantities; but to-day Seattle is bone dry, and has in its pockets 1 million dollars a month that it for merly spent for alcoholic drinks. It is curious that many of the former saloons have been turned into candy and ice cream establish ments, using the identical fixtures. One place visited was run by the same owners, who had quite forgot ten their opposition to the Prohibi tion Law. k Seattle seems to have neglected no W branch of municipal thinking. I found some of the largest and most attractive city owned markets I have ever seen. One night I had a dinner on the glass inclosed veran da of a public market, high on a bluff, overlooking Puget Sound. This restaurant, I presume, is a conces sion, but the choicest of all foods were available and the prices were astonishingly low. It is interesting to study the advanced ideas you see out there in such profusion.—Ed ward Mott Woolley in McClure'a Magazine. Says His Prescription Has Powertul Influence Over Rheumatism Discoverer Tells Geo. A. Gorgas Not to Take a Cent of Anyone's Money Unless AUenrhu Completely Ban ishes AU Rheumatic Pains and Twinges. Mr. James H. Allen suffered for J-ears with rheumatism. Many times this terrible disease left him helpless and unable to work. He finally decided, after years of ceaseless study, that no one can bo free from rheumatism until the ac cumulated impurities, commonly call ed uric acid desposits, were dissolved in the joints and muscles and expell ed from the body. With this idea in mind he consulted physicians, made experiments and Anally compounded a prescription that quickly and completely banished every sign and symptom of rheumatism m from his system.' $ Jfyf, , ' . jg,, .• , \ FRTDAY EVENING, HX3UUBBUIU7 tftftft* TELEGRXPH JANUARY 11, 1918.
