TAKE a Trip With Boalt
Around Elliott Bay in
The Star's Aeroplane
A nun from hack Fast dropped into the office this morning.
"A lot of folk* hack whrrc 1 romt from are interested in Seattle, for one rea
son or another, from what we hear. We might come out here ami settle, but
you'd have to show us what you've Rot."
So, having nothing else to do, 1 took him for a spin in The Star s aeroplane.
That's the only way to *ec a city—from an aeroplane. ou get the right
perspective if you get uj> high enough. Everything has the rgiht relation to ev
erything else when you're way up high. Everything has the right relation to ev-
J.ater on, if you're interested in some one thing—a factory 'ite, for instance
—vnii can descend from the clouds for a closr-un h>ok. Y<>u can even look at
things with a microscope if you wish. But the bird's-eye view is the only BIG
view.
• * *
T took the man from back Fast—it developed that he's a manufacturer in a
small way—first of all to Salmon bay. where I'ncle Sam is building a $2,275,000
lock
"Goodness gracious, what's that for?" asked the man from back Fast.
He was quick to gra<-p the significance >>f that lock, which will raise Salmon
bay and lower Lake Washington to thelevel of l.ake Union.
"By jingo!" he said "Didn't know uncle had so much «ense. Why, you'll
have room enough in Lake Washington alone for the merchant marine of the
world."
• * *
I called my guest's particular attention to Salmon bay. "We—the city, I
mean," I explained, "are spending a trifle over $350,000 on docks down there,
which will be the Puget sound fishing center. There are hundreds of small fish
ing boats which haven't any home. They'll go where they can get the best and
cheapest dock facilities—and a good market."
"Good idea." said the man from back East.
* « *
We turned south, and in a twinkling crossed the narrow strip of land be
tween Salmon bay and Smith's cove.
"Good place for docks," suggested the man from back Fast.
"That's what the harbor commission thinks," I replied. "A million dollars'
worth of bonds have been authorized to build 'em They'll be for deep-sea mer
chandise and lumber. You see, the biggest vessels afloat can come right here,
discharge their cargoes of sijk. tea or what-not, aud take on lumber. The mills,
inind you, are fust over yonder."
♦ * *
First thing we knew we were over the water front proper. The Easterner
admired it tremendously.
"You wait until we've finished the central water front improvement." I said.
He wanted to know what that was, so I pointed out the public market, and
explainer! that the commission would spend something like $750,000 for docks
ju-.t below the market for the uccommodation of the Sound mosquito fleet.
"I see," said the man from back East. "Sort of a union depot for Sound
boats Farmers can ship turkey* and chickens and eggs and butter and garden
truck right to the city docks, and the stuff's in the market and on sale before
you can say 'Tack Robinson.'"
"Yes; and no hold-up dockage charges, either"
We left the water front on a little side trip, then; flying over the city to
T,evhi park, which is to be the western terminus of the Eake Washington ferry.
"It's rcallv what you might call a road improvement." I explained. "The
ferrv boats will be floating roads. There's a rich country back of Bellevue, on
the other side of the lake, and farmers can drive their teams onto the ferry boats,
cross, and drive into the city "
"Sounds feasible," said the man from back East.
* * *
Then we returned to the water front and continued southward to the Fast
waterway, where gTeat city clocks are going in. parallel to the Milwaukee's
docks
"But how," asked the Fasterner, "are you going to get stuff to or away
from the docks by,land?"
"Common-user tracks," T told him. "There's the railroad yards close by, and
evervl >odv gets an equal show."
* * *
"What's that big roof over yonder?" asked the Easterner.
"Moran's shipyard."
"IV>ing anything now?"
"Well, they're building a fleet of submarines for a South American republic.
Ami there's a vessel brought all the way from South America to have ports cut
in her bow. And another from England. And that new steamer you see ; s the
Tacoma. just launched. They're working to capacity at Moran's."
* * *
From where we hung poised high In air we could hear the throbbing roar of
the steam riveters, the tooting of donkey engines, the clash of steel on steel.
We passed over Harbor Island, and came presently to Duwamish valley.
"Crookedest river I ever saw." said the man from back East.
"Won't be long. It'll be straight as a string before the Panama canal is
opened. That's one of the best things we do—taking kinks out of meandering
streams. Yes, sir, that river'U be straightened and depeened all the way to Hen
ton, and then some. And there'll be turn-about basins, so that boats can
turn around and go the other way."
"There ought to be some good factory sites down there," said the Eastern
er. "It's low and flat, and what with the docks and the railroads and all. it
sort of seems God intended there should be factories down there. And that's
what you need out here—factories. Factories and payrolls and farms. Get the
factories and the payrolls, and you can count on the farmers."
♦ * *
I'd have taken the Fasterner for a longer spin, but he said lie guessed he'd
go back to the hotel and send a wire to his partner in Boston. 1 think he was
impressed bv what he saw. 1 think, li*>. that others would he impressed if they
could see Seattle, the Seaport of Success, as we saw it—from an aeroplane.
