at the mouth of the COLUMBIA RIVER is destined to be one of the most important
Cities and Seaports on the Pacific Coast. Nature in the beginning decreed it so, and
the BIG TRANSPORTATION COMPANIES ARE NOWf PREPARING TO MAKE IT SO.
With over 1,200,000 square miles of the most productive territory in the world, all of
which is tributary and down grade to FLAVEL, it must be evident to the most skepti
cal mind that a big percentage of shipments of the Northwest, that will be transferred
from rail to ship, must ultimately be made from this point.
Can You Wonder That "Flavel"
Is Being Utilized Read:
"FLAVEL" is at the terminus of the only
down-grade haul both by water and rail
on the Pacific Coast.
"FLAVEL" is at the terminus of a water
competitor (the Columbia River) that is
forcing the railroads to use the gravity
route to the sea. ,
"FLAVEL" is on one of the finest fresh
water, ocean side, land-locked harbors in
the world and the only one on the Pacific
Coast.
"FLAVEL" is nearer the Orient by 294 miles
on the round trip than is Seattle.
"FLAVEL" is nearest the Orient by 846 miles
on the round trip than is San Francisco.
"FLAVEL" is nearer New York or Liver
pool on a round trijJ by 600 miles than
any point on Puget Sound. "
"FLAVEL" is the point where" two ships of
the same speed leaving New York or a
European port arriving at the mouth of
Columbia River at the same time, the one
landing at "FLAVEL" can discharge
and load her cargo and be on its way to
its destination before the ship bound for
Puget Sound reaches the Seattle Harbor.
"FLAVEL" is that interchange where two passengers
leaving Seattle on the Shasta Limited bound for
San Francisco, the one routed via FLAVEL on
the Hill steamers will arrive in San Francisco be
fore the through passenger arrives on the Shasta
Limited.

THE READING MATTER ON OUR TRADEMARK
Sets the Stamp of Approval
Upon
AND I r " jOFTHElj
Flavel Will Make These
Statements Come True
Louis V. Hill, president of the Great Northern, stand
ing on the ground at Flavel, where the Hill terminals are
now being built, said: "This is undcmbtedly the place from
which the grain shipments of the great Columbia River Basin
will be made; you have the situation here, unquestionably."
Collis P. Huvitington, late president of the Southern
Pacific, said that the mouth of the Columbia River Was
the only natural outlet to the Pacific Ocean.
C. S. Mellen, former president of the Northern Pacific,
stated that the Columbia Harbor had every advantage and
must become a great city.
A. A. Schenck, assistant chief engineer of the New York
Central, said whoever controlled the line to the mouth of the
Columbia would forever control the transportation problem
of the Pacific Northwest.
James J. Hill has ratified his predictions by building
one of the finest gravity route railroads from Spokane to
the sea and is now building his .mammoth terminals at
FLAVEL to dock his $5,000,000 steamships that will ply
from FLAVEL to San Francisco.
William P. Clough, chairman of the board of directors
of the Northern Pacific, made the statement that train
schedules of the Great Northern, Northern Pacific and allied
lines will be rearranged throughout the Northwest so that
passengers leaving Puget Sound, Spokane, the interior or
Eugene in the morning will be able to reach FLAVEL by
evening, there to embark on the great steamers of the Hill
interests, when they are put into operation, and reach San
Francisco the next evening. We decided that this district
merited recognition and a quick and easy way . to travel
between here and San Francisco. '
E. J. M. Nash, special representative for the Royal Mail
Steam Packet Company, one of the largest steamship com
panies in the world, in substance said: "Low cost "and
quick dispatch w-ilj become more than ever the guiding
factor in routing steamships when the Panama Canal route
is opened. The faster ships carrying passengers, including
emigrants, 6hould be able to load and unload in the Colum
bia Harbor, for they will not go up the river to Portland.
There would be no objections to ships coming to the Colum
bia Harbor to debark emigrants, as they would save two
days' time as compared with Puget Sound. Such freight
as apples should be shipped very largely from Oregonto
Europe, and this class of cargo requires fast steamers and
could only be shipped from the Columbia Harbor."
It Behooves the Investor to Heed These Statements.
