  • Tacoma Chamber of Commerce
    TACOMA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE Ms 40 BACKGROUND: Evolving through many incarnations, the Tacoma Chamber of Commerce has had a tremendous impact on the growth and development of the city. Little has been written on the history of the Tacoma Chamber of Commerce (apparently the chamber never wrote a history). However, this collection contains a wealth of information on the early history of the chamber of commerce. On the evening of January 22, 1884, a group of prominent Tacoma civic leaders and businessmen met at the Pierce County Courthouse to organize a chamber of commerce for the city. They appointed a committee to plan a permanent organization, a second meeting was convened on February 15, 1884, and articles of incorporation and a constitution of the Tacoma Chamber of Commerce Company were adopted. In this meeting a board of trustees was elected and a capital stock of $20,000 was raised with a membership cap of 200. By March, there were 58 members. During its first year, the chamber considered many questions concerning the development of Tacoma. The members recognized that their chief aim was to enhance the trade and commerce of the city. The board authorized the purchase of two lots on the corner of Pacific Avenue and South 12th Street, but the lots remained vacant until the Spring of 1885. On May 12, 1885, the board of trustees appointed a building committee, and ground was broken in July and the building was completed in November of 1885. The first meeting of the chamber in their new building was held in January 1886.

    Eastward Through the Storied Northwest BY OLIN D. WHEELER Northern Pacific Railway A. M. CLELAND General Paisenger Agent ST. PAUL, MINN. A THE PACIFIC COAST T REALLY appears as if, in late years, an impression has been rqr 54—A•7 made on the great annual hegira 1 to Europe, and that a reflex flow of increasing magnitude had been established across continent to the shores of the Pacific. Not alone the increasing number of winter tourists to that region indicates this, but the growing inclination to make the Pacific coast in all its length the rally- ing point for annual gatherings and conventions, evidences the fact. Landscape, climate, peo- ple, everything found there, is new, strange, and alluring, and the broadening and educational effects of such a journey are beyond statement. The words Pacific coast and California comprehend a great deal. California is the second largest state in the Union, and contains more than 150,000 square miles. It is a region of wonderful scenic attraction, of delightful climates, of peculiar and inter- esting vegetation, of a long and picturesque coast line with attractive beaches, of beautiful cities, and an energetic, wide awake, refined, and cosmopolitan population. It is a land, in all its essentials, so utterly different from the remainder of the United States, that it stands, in a sense, entirely by itself. It is perfectly natural that those residents from that portion of our country north of the Ohio river, say, should wish to pass the winter months on the lower Pacific coast. Not only California, but the entire Pacific coast from San Diego to Vancouver, B.

  • Tourists in Wonderland: Early Railroad Tourism in the Pacific Northwest Columbia Magazine, Winter 1993-94: Vol
    Tourists in Wonderland: Early Railroad Tourism in the Pacific Northwest Columbia Magazine, Winter 1993-94: Vol. 7, No. 4 By Carlos A. Schwantes It is hardly coincidental that the massive and much-documented railroad promotional campaigns conducted during the 1880s and again during the first two decades of the 20th century were each accompanied by unprecedented waves of new settlers in the Pacific Northwest. "Ask any settler in some part of the West why he immigrated," observed the well-known journalist Ray Stannard Baker in 1908, "and he will invariably point you back to the beguiling road, a pamphlet, a fevered folder, an enthusiastic agent." Over the years hundreds of different railroad brochures promoted settlement and economic development of the far Northwest, but most of the early ones only occasionally mentioned tourism. One prominent publicist for the Union Pacific in the 1870s and 1880s was Robert Strahorn, who had a passion for collecting accurate facts and figures, and for reprinting human interest stories in his pamphlets. It was almost as an afterthought that he promoted tourism. In various editions of To the Rockies and Beyond, published between 1878 and 1881, Strahorn became one of the first persons to call tourist attention to Shoshone Falls, Payette Lake, the mineral waters of Soda Springs and other natural wonders of southern Idaho, which was an area long regarded only as an unattractive desert. Railroad tourism, like development activity in general, meant transforming landscapes widely considered unappealing into veritable wonderlands. As Strahorn understood well, few if any areas of the United States were blessed with more spectacular scenery or greater variety of outdoor activities than the Pacific Northwest, but the region did not become a tourist mecca until northern transcontinental railroads made the trip easy.

    SMITH'S PACIFIC NORTHWEST AMERICANA CHARLES W. SMITI-I'S PACIFIC NORTHWEST AMERICANA A CHECK LIST OF BOOKS AND PAMPHLETS RELATING TO THE HISTORY OF THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST EDITION 3, REVISED AND EXTENDED BY ISABEL MAYHEW OREGON HISTORICAL SOCIETY BINFORDS Sc MORT, Publishers, PORTLAND, OREGON 1950 FOREWORD IN April 1908, Charles W. Smith, Assistant Librarian of the University of Washington, was induced by fellow librarians to prepare a co-operative check list of books and pamphlets relating to the Pacific Northwest and available in librar- ies of the region. A plan was agreed upon whereby each library furnished a card list of its holdings to Mr. Smith, who as compiler codified the records and edited the resultant union list. The volume was published in 1909 by the Washington State Library under the title, Check-List of Books and Pamphlets Relating to the History of the Pacific Northwest to be Found in Representative Libraries of That Region. The title indicates clearly that the intention of the compiler and his collaborators was to prepare a list of actual holdings and not a comprehensive bibliography. Twelve years later, most of the libraries had grown in stature and their hold- ings of Pacific Northwest Americana had more than trebled.It was time to prepare a second edition, revised and enlarged, and one might even say consider- ably improved for the librarians of the region had learned much about biblio- graphy in more than a decade of growth and experience. Ihis edition, bearing the short title, Pacific Northwest Americana, was published in 1921. Eighteen libraries co-operated in its preparation.

  • A Mountain Calling: the Tacoma Eastern—Linking Puget Sound And
    WashingtonHistory.org A MOUNTAIN CALLING The Tacoma Eastern—Linking Puget Sound and Mount Rainer National Park By Michael Sullivan COLUMBIA The Magazine of Northwest History, Winter 1999-00: Vol. 13, No. 4 The city of Tacoma was born, plain and simple, with the coming of the railroad. When the Northern Pacific railroad, chartered by Abraham Lincoln in 1864, selected an ending point on Pacific Coast saltwater, the city that flowered was Tacoma. Some 125 years ago the decision to bring a second transcontinental rail line to the Pacific Coast affected a relatively few people: a resident population of unsuspecting Native Americans, a handful of settlers and adventurers, and a few eager land speculators and opportunists living along Commencement Bay, perhaps 200 in all. The arrival of the railroad, along with its accompanying telegraph, completely redrew the landscape around the Puyallup River delta in less than a decade. Two hundred inhabitants became 5,000 city builders, and a few cedar log cabins along the shore became several rows of boom town facades and red brick buildings facing on wide graded streets. There were sidewalks, streetlights and a fledgling telephone system. The waterside camps and considerate culture of the Puyallup and Nisqually Indians were overshadowed by civilized activities of stumps being dynamited and crowds of people gathering for the daily arrival of steam locomotives pulling cars full of newcomers. From 1883—the first year passengers could ride the train uninterrupted from Chicago to Tacoma—to 1890, the population of Tacoma grew from about 5,000 to more than 30,000. The titanic Tacoma Hotel overlooked the harbor, and from its porch travelers and writers like Mark Twain and Rudyard Kipling marveled at the speed with which a city under a volcano could be born.
