VANDERBILT WRITES OF ALASKA
Writing to the New York Times
from and about Seattle, Cornelius Van
derbilt, Jr., a member of the wealthy
Vanderbilt family of New York, speak
ing of what Alaska has done for Seat
tle, gives us the following very ac
curate summary:
In 1918 Seattle got its first real start
upward. The phrase “billions in free
gold in Alaska” was the byword of the
country at the time. In the days of ’98
Seattle jumped from a harbor post to
a bustling city. The broad harbor was
filled with hundreds of little craft
bound for “Eldorado.” Those were
days when men, women and children
went on boats with horsees and mules
—any means by which they could get
north. They fought wind and water
and gold to make the trip to Dawson,
Fairbanks, the Yukon, the Iditarod, or
to the ’’golden sands” of Nome.
Through Seattle poured throngs of
goldseekers. Men and boys from
every station in life who had staked
their all on getting free gold from
Alaska, outfitted here.
Today I saw wheat which was grown
i:i Alaska above the Arctic circle,
thirty bushels to the acre. I saw Al
aska strawberries, twelve of which
would fill a quart jar. _ Vegetables
which would make Easterners jealous,
and even the middle west feel compe
tition, are on exhibition in the Arctic
club, here in Seattle. Today Seattle
is thinking of Alaska agriculturally as
Avell as in the old terms of gold and
fish.
There is a monument to William
Seward in one of the parks here.
It was he Avho dared to brave the pub
lic sentiment and buy Alaska at a
cost of about 2 cents an acre. At that
time it was familiarly nicknamed
“Uncle’s Sam’s Ice Chest.” In 1919
Alaska’s imports totaled $38,957,259.
Her exports Avere $70,659,080. This
means a total Alaska trade of more
than $109,000,000. Since 1867 Alaska
has shipped out more than $3111,000,
000 in gold and other products, such
as whalebone, oil and fish. The lat
ter alone were worth $413,000,000. Al
aska has also sent through Seattle
$84,000,000 in furs in the last fifteen
years.
yThe state of Washington has
enough coal, to last 900 years at the
present rate of consumption. For the
last few years the mines within a
radius of fifty miles of Seattle have
produced 4,000,000 tons annually. Lum
ber shows another huge increase. This
port stands on what was once an al
most impenetrable forest. Today it is
a great lumbering center and Puget
sound timber goes to the Seven Seas.
Within a radius of 100 miles there are
65,000 men in the lumber industry.
Fish have also helped Seattle to be
come a great city. The annual catch
in Puget sound and the by ways of
Alaska is said to be greater than that
of any other city in the country.
THINGS WE THINK
Things Others Think and What We
Think of the Things Others Think.
Greatness at close range isn't.
Some men marry for a figure and
others for figures. *
Ohio sighs for more national con
ventions to conquer.

Every man's hand is against him
whose hand is against every man.
Girls once thought they should
cover their legs; now it’s their ears.
Great success consists largely in
doing the things that can’t be done.
Fecple don’t care much how you
live as long as you don’t agitate them.
Many a man is captain of his soul
because his wife is so good a first
lieutenant.
Many a man nowadays has to be
content with his lot because he hasn’t
money enough to build a house on it.
Flirtatious girls may make the best
wives but flirtatious wives don’t make
the best wives.
Nobody takes the joy out of life so
fast as the one who qualifies his
prise with a “but.”
Who remembers when he could get
a quarter section of pie in a restau
rant for five cents?
Once a young man gains a reputa
tion for being a wit, it's hard for him
to work at anything else.
The laziest man knows that luck is
against him and that Opportunity
never knocked at his door.
The girl’s covering their ears
wouldn’t be so bad if they didn’t
leave openings for gossip to trickle
through.

Clothes Purer than the
Milk You Drink
-
All of us have learned through our studies of personal hygiene and
sanitation that if we would best safeguard our health, our clothes
should be sterilized as well as washed.
It is our understanding of this fact that makes our laundeiing
methods superior to those of the laundress. When you send us
your family bundle we return it to you purer than the milk you #
drink.
Milk is supposed to be for use after it has been pasteurized,
or held at a temperature of from 131 to 151 degrees for a few
minutes. *
After washing clothes as we wash them—in pure water at ISO
degrees—and drying them in a current of clean, fresh air at 250
degrees, your things approach nearer to perfect purity than the
milk you serve on your table.
To be sure of clothes cleanliness and clothes purity, telephone
us. We will have our driver call for your family bundle.
