News. Co. Gordon & GOtch Pan-Pacific Union The Pacific Northwest-- The World's New Wonderland Both, as America's all-year-round vacation and recreation land, as well as the undoubted future seat of the great commercial and shipping center of the Pacific Coast, the vast .Puget Sound country has awakened with a start and is reaching out to every land about the Great Ocean. British Columbia, Oregon and Washington have elapsed-hands -first,'.through their really international Northwest- Tourist Association, which is making this region the great tourist resort for Americans and Pacific people, but now throligh her commercial bodies, which seek to lock hands with all other Pacific commer- cial bodies, this Northwest region reaches out for the commerce of the. Pacific. From the mighty Canadian Frazier River on the North to the equally mighty Columbia on the South, this vast Puget Sound country that in its area contains the scenic wonders of the world, has grasped the fact that she is to become one of the world's greatest commercial empires. Here are being built ships and ship- yards as only Britain built these in times gone by ; these shipyards now springing up to restore the shipping of the world, will not be dismantled, they will create the shipping of the Pacific and firmly establish the position of the mighty North- west in the commerce of our greatest of oceans, a commerce that is to not only astonish the world beyond, but even the very leaders of the two-thirds of the world's population that live and thrive in Pacific lands. The future theatre of the world's commerce is the Pacific. The curtain is about to be raised on the world's new commercial drama ; the first act may well be con- ceived to lay in the Puget Sound land where the great and growing cities of Victoria, Vancouver, Seattle, Tacoma and Portland strive in friendly rivalry, for the commerce and the shipping that is more than enough to crowd their every dock and even demand the creation of great new cities that we dream not of today, but that will become realities of tomorrow, perhaps to spring up as if by magic as did the shipbuilding of the Puget Sound country. A new commercial era has dawned in the Northwest, largely of her own creating. New ambitions pulse in the land, and already Seattle has become the lead- ing shipping port on the entire Pacific Coast of North and South America ; new men and enterprises are pouring into the wonderful invigorating Northwest. ..No longer do Seattle and her sister cities depend upon the trade of Alaska for their prosperity. The commerce of the Pacific•becomes their heritage, and the moun- tains. rivers and fjords of the Northwest are now looked upon as the tempting vacation ground of the whole world. In Honolulu, at the Cross-roads of the Pacific, the Pan-Pacific Union and the Hawaii Promotion Committee gladly welcome those passing through with information about this Northwest country, but for detailed information it is best to write Herbert Cuthbert, Secretary of the Pacific Northwest Tourist Associ- ation, L.
