Whitechurch stole no less than eight. basses, peppery Bill Smith pilfering four and Bill Scott three and this, along with some erratic support, put Miller in trouble more , than once.

HQFDS A sudden flick Of the hand of. na­ ture sometimes determines the destin­ ies of a man, of a community or of a nation. No -one'knows when whimsL cal nature will make her demand nor where she might strike next. One day it is in the north, another in the south, and then again she might not strike at all. .. ' - In my last letter to the Sentinel I dealt with,- to some extent, with McMurray, the gateway* to the great north, and 1 had left the subject un­ finished, hoping for an opportunity to complete the* picture, but it will be seen by the date line of this letter that nature has, made her strike. I have broken unusual bounds and have visited a new field., one of the' most fertile and interesting it has been my good fortune to See. After a few days of observation of the American people in this eity, I fbel constrained to make some observations which may prove interesting to Sentinel readers,, - In the first place, this is not by any means the first time. I have visited this city. I have done so before al­ ready this year, but at other times I have had less opportunity to take the city and-its people seriously. Further, Seattle once was my resi- dence. having lived - there for Several years at the beginning of this century. But since that time such tremendous strides have been made in the mak­ ing of a great city, more important developments than I have seen any­ where else, I feel it but fair to en­ large, now that I have a little time at my disposal. One of the first things I noticed in this city is the'tolerance and broad­ mindedness of its people. Though the distance from here to Vancouver is only about 150 miles there is a riiighty difference in the personal of the two cities. After some speculation I am constrained to*3 believe that the tolerance of its people is due primar­ ily because of the intimacy of Seattle­ ites with things Canadian. Being so close to the Canadian border and also to the ’fringe of things universal, it takes upon itselfa freedom of thought-and a broadriess of vision j have not foupd elsewhere. I The population of this city is made up of; representatives of the peoples of the. globe. One can hardly find a country* that is touched by the finger of our western civilization that is not represented among her people. It is therefore easy to understand the tol- erence and breadth of mirid and to know that a member of. almost any race in the world might walk about her streets, enter her stores, her churches or theatres ^nd riiingle with her people anywhere without com­ ment from anyone. Opty a great seaport town could Possibly posses such , a cosmopolitan spirit and have it embued through all the strates of its society. , Seattle is one of the young cities of the North American continent. Its history dates -back to but little over fifty years. It nestles snuggly be­ side an arm of Puget 'Sound, where the tides from the bririy deep bring the scents of every land. It is sing­ ularly blessed with one of the most equable climates in the world arid its general surroundings, create the . im­ pression of its being a gem of glory in a setting of green. Being a seaport city, the shipping of every clime can be found lying at her docks bringing the wealth of the orient and the spices from beyond the sea. Deep sea ‘wallow hogs’ with their rusty sides look blanched in the morning sun,, natty power launches and streamlined, liners can be seen with the same sweep of the eye while both, to the east and to the .west the horizon is cleft by arrange.:of moun­ tains whose spike shaped peaks carry a burden of everlasting snow. . The Cascades, some of whose peaks rise higher than any . in the United States proper form a background toward the east, while fifty miles cross the placid . water of Pudget Sound the sheltering arms of the Olympics rise up in pro­ tection against .the" onslaughts of the great Pacific^ , “ Seattle hps reason to boast ot her towering structures. Some of the highest in the world pierce its sky­ line. From the spot on which the old Junction Saloon stood on the corner of Second Ave rind Yesler, a one story frame building at the beginning of the century, stands the giant’ structure of the “Smith building, its tower ^rising 42 stories above the pavement. But apart from Seattle’s physical glory--she--has-a^happy;-birthright--in- her people". Her citizens are largely Anglo-Saxon, a very large percentage of whoriii came from Canada. Almost every fourth person I have met in­ timately since coming, is of Canadian decent, or who has very close and intimate friends who are, or, have been. Canadian. English, Scotch and Irish are to be found almost everywhere, though1 I have: notpd that "those-of Scotch—an­ cestry have been none to ready to admit it. The, Irish may be found in large numbers, among the clergy or on the policeforce, but some of them ^Operate garbage wagons much as their ancestors did centuries ago, while the English in some instances persist still in wearing a monocle and sport a swagger cariev i Of course these are casual remarks spoken for the moment in the spirit of levity, but there is a grain, of ’truth in them just the same. Inquiring about the personnel of the city, coun­ ty and state government, I was in­ formed that native Canadians hold many positions of trust and honor in almost every department? I was told that a former governor of the state and a former mayor of the city were Canadians by birth though Ameri­ cans by adoption. ■ ’ This is a significant thing too, for I find that almost everywhere in the western . states the same condition ^prevails. It shows that in the late years of the last century and in the first ten of this, Canada was robbed of the flour of her manhood to supply the brains and the sinew for the laying of the foundations < of this ’ great country. Many thousands of Canadian boys and girls left their horiies in Ontario and sought an out- 1 let for their talents across the bor­ der,* a land of opportunity,, at the 1 moment greater than in their ownj; glorious west.
