Thompson, of Cen tralis, -Cmmt Spirit" Ke4 . Mr. Blethen dwelt upon the need of fostering what he termed "a Coast spirit." "It Is one of the assets of the states to the north, and. !( we take a step farther north, of British Columbia, that every one beUeves his city the best eUy," he said. "But there haa arisen a Coast spirit that Is Just as Important aa the Individual civic spirit. Ctvlo organlsaUons are realising that as long aa they talk Individual things they are missing opportunities. -There are two reasons why differ ent localities try to get publicity. One la to get people to make their homes with them, and the other Is to get busi ness. For the former, the Individual aptrlt la the proper thing, but to ee eore the latter, a broader, a more gen eral spirit. Is necessary. "For altogether proper reasons we are now Journeying toward California. We are not going to Sacramento or Kan Francisco or Los Angeles or Paso Ro bles. but to California. Why not re verse that programme and aay to the people of the East and the Engllah peaking world. "Come to the Wsst In July and August.' Call te Ceaat Urged. "The traveling public doesn't care for Seattle aa against Portland, or Port land as against Vancouver, but It doea ear for the pleasant Summer weather. Let ns combine and tell them that the West Is a manufacturing plant of weather, scenery, auto roads, yachting advantages and courses that cannot be equaled by boiling Sweden, Switzerland and Norway In one chunk." Mr. Blethen spoke of a plan whereby all of the cities of the West would ar range entertainments during the Sum mer months, such aa the Rose Festival and the Potlatch. and advertise them In common, as the most efficacious means of attracting people to the West. "We are not after the thousands or people from cast of the Mississippi," he aajd, "but we want the people from the hot states around us, who are In the habit of going East, and it la that plan that Is going to bring them out." A large pair of scissors waa aus pended from the celling at one end of the room, which. It waa explained, rep resented -consolidated optimism." With It, one speaker said, the West could "clip the wings of ths world." HylaaeTa Rsssarka Dsswresa Mr. Hyland paid a high tribute to tne Canadian people. "You people across Use Imaginary line of this continent are our own people Intensi fied." he said. A humorous rhetorical flow, -In which he painted the picture presented by "the twin peaks. Mount Tacoma and Mr. Rainier." provoked considerable mirth among the guests. After speaking seriously of the wonderful progress made by Portland, Robert Lee told. In a semi-humorous way, of the achievements of Tacoma. "It la the city of big things," he said. -Amons other big things we have the largest totem pole In the world, and we made it rlRht at home, and didn't have to go to Alaska to steal It, as Seattle dUl hers." Tom Richardson dwelt on the timber body on the Pacific Coast, which he raid would furnish cargoes when the Panama Canal was opened, and Mr. Mc Tavlsh. of Vancouver. B. C. told of the Immense wheat production of the Canadian provinces, and of the great progress being made by his city. In 111 Its building permits were $13,900. 000, he said.
