THE Ol'TTiOOK INSPIRING
The Now Seattle Chamber of Com
morce Record, in ita issue of Nov
1st, editorisly says:
"VThen this chamber or com
merce undertook some time ago to
demonstrate to Russian commercial
and government interests, the de
sirability of establihng steam
ship service between the Siberian
i oast and the Pacific Northwest, it
builded wiser than was within She
range of human foresight. At each
opportunity over a considerable per
iod, this organization urged the op
portunity for immediate business
and for the far greater trade to
result from the maintenance of a
liue across the Pacific from Seattle
—nearest American port—to Vladi
vostok, terminus of the trans-Siber
ian railway, it is known that these
representations had their effect and
that, in all probability, such a ser
vice would have been inaugurated
daring the coming year even under
normal conditions. Now, however,
by a sudden combination of war and
its fortunes, Seattle is confronted
with the opportunity to become the
gateway for all American trade
with Russia, European hostilities
have so blockaded the Baltic, clos
ed the Dardanelles, and hemmed in
the eastern frontier of ihe Czar's
dominious that Vladivostok stands
as the ouly open door for unhamp
er-»d interchange of commerce. The
first vessel of the Russian volun
teer fleet is today on its way acr06S
the Pacific. In connection with
the Siberian railroad, it will offer
the route for American merchan
dise to meet the demands of that
vast area and large population here
tofore supplied by the warring na
tions of Europe, some of which
;.re uow hostile to Russia.
"While the men Of vision and en
terprise, who have caused this city
to take advantage of its opportuni
ties, never waver in their deep-seat
ed conviction that Seattle occupies
a strategic position which will make
her one of the really great centers,
their faith is justified soo;:er than
they expected when each shift in
world affairs,—such as this,—brings
out more clearly to all who read the
manifest destiny of this favored lo
cation in the trade of nations to
day and tomorrow. The outlook is
inspiring to the oncoming generatica
which can seet at hand, and reach
forth to seize, the opportunities
that yesterday were but as prophe
sies to be realized by posterity."

ST. LOWS VOTES'
ON' FKKK BRIDGE
St. Louis, Nov. 11—W!lh munici
pal employes relieved of their 'work
for the day and many other workers
similarly freed from their routine
duties through, a holiday proclama
tion by Mayor Kiel, St Louis last
Friday turned out to vote on a pro
posal to issue bonds for ?2.7o0,00
to obtain funds for the completion
of the free bridge over the Missis
sippi river. Tho bridge, started in
1906 with $3,5G0,000 obtained from
a bond issu© now Spans the river,
but terminates on the Illinois side
150 feet above tlie ground, du© to
expenditure of the original fund. Ex
cept for its lack of adequate ter
minal on the Illinois side the span
has been declared to be one of the
most modern and substantial in the
world. On it, since the abandon
ment of the construction, tax pavers
have been paying thousands of dol
lars yearly as interest on the bonds.
The Eads' bridge and the Mer
chants bridge, two privately owned
spans crossing the river at St.
Louis are the property of fifteen
railroads entering the city, having
passed into the roads hands 40
years ago. To an "arbitrary" tax
of $1 a ton on all freight into St.
Louis from points east of the Mis
jsissippi. st. Louis blames the
I growth of East St. Louis, Venice,
j Graaite City and Madison. These
towns, with factories worth uany
millions of dollars and thriving in
dustries have derived their growth
| it is claimed from the defensive ac
| tion of shippers w'io stopped their
shipments east of the river, rather
ttian pay the "arbitrary."
Recent supreme court decisions re
moved the arbitrary charge from
all freight except that originating
withia 100 t-iles of the bridges.
