Poor Man's Philosopher Says
"Go Northwesi, Young Man!"
By HAL BOYLE
SEATTLE — (AP) — The Great
Pacific Northwest is beaver busy
today.
It feels it is the promised land
of the American future. But is is
something like a young boy reach
ing the weed stage who is growing
right out of his clothes.
The area is developing so fast
it is finding it difficult to keep up
with the demands of its post-war
expansion, It is still building like
mad.
Almost everywhere you look,
you see trees going down and
homes going up, as the cities reach
out into the woods. And new fac
tories are springing up to serve a
mushrooming population.
The power supply is already
strained in some sections, and doz
ens of dams are being built, or are
in the planning stage, to tap fresh
might from the Northwest’s roar
ing mountain streams.
To a casual visitor there appears
to be no letup in the post-war
boom. But it is curiously unlike
other booms in United States his
tory. There is an unmistakable
solidity about it.
You get the feeling there are
almost as many real estate offices
about as there are filling stations.
But the land salesmen aren’t serv
ing free lunches or hiring jazz
bands to lure the customers in, as
was customary, in Florida during
the hectic boom there in the 1920’5.
~ It's a high-priced area and the
wages are generally high. I found
this out when I got a shoeshine at
the Seattle-Tacoma airport, and
the boy said, “two bits, please.”
That didn’t include a tip either. But
they don’t ttp as much out here as
they do in the East.
Short Cuts
There are short cuts to keep
down the costs. People in the
Northwest seem to know how to
do more things for themselves than
they do in some other sections. At
one small party I attended, for
example, two of the men were
building their own homes. They

didn’t see anything unusual about
it—and they were white collar
workers.
Even in Portland, the city of
lovely homes, they will tell you—
without envy—that Seattle prob
bably will be the real metropolis of
the West Coast.
“Seattle is sure to pass Los An
geles and may even in time out
rank New York City,” said one
man, who has made a study of the
region’s resources.
“It has an unlimited water and
power supply to draw on—Los
Angeles hasn’t. And Seattle is the
nearest big port to the Far East,
a trading area with 800,000,000
people. That’s a potential market
much bigger than Europe.”
Such bright visions don’t thrill
as many residents here as you
might think. The booster attitude
isn’t particularly strong in the Pa
cific Northwest.
Those who live here like it be
cause the recreational facilities of
seashore and mountain and forest
ave unspoiled — and uncrowded.
They fear that if millions »>f other
Americans move out here to en
joy the mild climate—who minds
if it drizzles on many, many days?
—they themselves will be en
gulfed. Their attitude is that of
a family which settles down to
enjoy a fresh picnic site, only to
have .six other families come
whooping up to share it, too.
“The real trouble is so many
people are coming out here it’s
hard to adapt them all to our
western way of life,” sighed one
lady. “They’re beginning to swal
low us—and we were here first.”
But it is doubtful if that will
slow the boom in the Pacific
Northwest. It has a crowded time
a-coming.

OPOSSUMS MAY AID
RESEARCH
BERKELEY, Calif. —(AP)— A
University of California scientist
who has succeeded in raising opos
sums in captivity believes they
may become useful as laboratory
animals. Because the embryonic
oppossum goes through a period of
development in his mother’s pouch,
where he can be observed easily,
he may be a good subject for stu
dying mammalian life in one of its
earliest forms, says Harold C. Rey
nolds, museum technician.
The oppossum emerges from the
mother after 13 days of pre-natal
development, Then the little crea
ture has to climb into the mother’s
pouch, where he nurses for about
60 days before becoming a fully
developed baby. This is an ideal
