Editorial Comment On a per capita basis, the peo ple of Washington are among the richest on earth. The latest fig ures of the state tax commission show that an equal division would allot $2,064.38 to each man, wom an and child. The assessed val uation of all property in Wash ington is now $90(1247.944, a substantial increase since the last report of the commission. Twenty steel trains constitute the equipment of the Chicago, Milwaukee & Puget Sound Rail way, which will inaugurate its through service between Chicago and Puget Sound Monday, May 29. Two fast trains will leave each end of the line daily. They will be known as "The Colum bian" and "The Olympian." Many new ideas will be introduced in train operation. For the purpose of giving the Evergreen State wider exploita tloh than it has ever had before, the Washington Development League has been organized. All commercial organizations in Washington are eligible and an effort will be made to enlist the cooperation of each and every one. The state as a whole is to be advertised far and wide. The fruits of this publicity, in the shape of inquiries, will be placed at the disposal of all members of the league. Handsome railway stations are springing up all over the North west Last year the Great Northern dedicated several along its lines. Last month, the North ern Pacific opened the doors of its new passenger station in Ta coma, and last Saturday the latest addition was formally in augurated in Seattle by the Oregon-Washington Railroad & Nav igation Company. This terminal building is said to be one of the most compact railroad struc tures in the country. It has been officially named "The New O.-W. Station." It is 237 feet long and 145 feet wide. The to tal cost was $1.359.885. Business is picking up and pre dictions are that the fall of 1911 will be one of the best known in years. Following the decision of the supreme court in the Stand ard Oil case, the stock market showed encouraging strength And now, bankers say that money is becoming freer. Mer chants also report a revival of business that is very hopeful The imports and exports of the Puget Sound district for April show a big gain over March. Recent rains insure big crops. So that, taken all in all, there is not a sinister omen in the whole review. Representing ten Western states the executive committee of the Western Development League met at the. Portland Com mercial Club during the past week and mapped out a plan that promises to be of great benefit to the whole West The purpose is to attract people from the crowded East to vacant lands of the West, where there is room for millions to build happy homes. The big drawing card proposed by the league is a special train of exhibit cars that will tour the East next Fall and will give the people of that part of the country an object lesson of the opportunities to be found here. At least five cars of ex hibits will be taken along, show ing the products of the West in a comprehensive fashion. This w ill be the biggest show ing ever attempted along this line and is certain to attract much atten tion. The exhibits will later be placed at the Eastern land shows daring the Winter.
