Seattle, Feb. -. That a successful
exposition can be held on the Pacific
coast,' that the Alaska-Yukon-Paclflc
exposition, which will be held at Se
attle in 1909, has every chance of be.
Ing an artistic, educational and finan
cial success. Is indicated by the com
paiison of the attendance figures of
the Lewis' and Clark exposition held
at Portland, Ore., In 1905, with those
of the Jamestown exposition held at
Norfolk, Va., In 1907.
The official statement of admis
sions of the Jamestown exposition for
the exposition period shows a total
of 2,844,452 people who clicked the
turnstiles. Portland's total attend
ance was 2.654,848, or 289,604 less
than Jamestown's. But Portland's
paid admissions were 1,588,858 against
Jiimi'Htown's 1,401,409, or 187,449
more. Portland only had 965,990 free
admissions, whereas Jamestown had
1.443,043.
V.'hcn the clue, cert
of the surrounding country In which
the two expositions were held, are
taken Into consideration, it can be
easily seen how successful the west
ern exposition was over the eastern
one. Portland was a Comparatively
small world's fair as compared to
Chicago, and St. Louis, yet It drew
about 120,000 persons from east of
the Rocky mountains. Principally,
most of these people came west to
see the country and Incidentally the
Lewis and Clark show, which was the
magnet. The Alaska-Yukon-Paclflc
exposition will have the same draw
ing card behind It. The cost of the
Portland exposition was far less than
that of Jamestown. The government
building and exhibit at Portland were
valued at about $800,000. The gov
ernment spent about $2,600,000 at
Jumestown.
The most startling thing about the
success of the Lewis and Ciurk expo
sition was the fact that It only had
about 1,800,000 people withfn a ra
dlus of 600 miles from which to draw
its attendance, whereus Jamestown,
within a radius of 625 miles had
about 39,000,000 people. Also Port
land ran for only four and a half
months, while Jamestown wag open
for seven months.
Portland was able to pay back 20
per cent to its stockholders and was
entirely out of debt by the middle of
the exposition. Jamestown will not
pny back anything and is hopelessly
In debt to the United States govern
ment.
The management of the 'Alaska
Yukon-Pacific exposition figures con.
servatlvely, from the example let by
Portland, that the paid attendance
at the 1909 fair will reach 2,500,000,
which will make It one of, If not the
most successful exposition ever held.

VIOLATE UW
Postmaster G. M. Richer desires
to call attention to the practice of
some patrons of rural delivery of
placing loose coins in their boxes. each
time they dexlre to dispatch letters In
stead of supplying themselves with
postage in advance of their needB.
This practice Imposes undue hard
ship on rural carriers In removing
loose coins from boxes and delays
them on the service of their routes.
The poxtmaster, therefore, urgently
requests that patrons of rural delivery
provide themselves and keep on hand
a supply of stamps consistent with
and In advance of their needs. It Is
also very desirable that rural pa
trons place In their mall boxes small
detachable cups of wood or tin In
which to place coins, when necesary,
in purchasing supplies of stamps.

Prise for Barley Exhibit.
The Southwestern Brewing and Ice
company la taking a pronounced In
terest In the great National Irrigation
congress and Interstate Industrial ex
position. Ever since the establish
ment of its big plant In Albuquerque,
New Mexico, the company has been
compelled to purchase Its supplies of
brewers' barley from other localities
far remote from Albuquerque. The
growing of brewers' barley Is a most
profitable business and all that can
be raised in New Mexico can find a
ready market here and at points In
Colorado and Arizona.
The tumie ol uie f uture.
The general was Just about to give
the order to charge when an aide
rode up, his horse showing the effects
of the tremendous strain he had been
under. Hurriedly the aide saluted.
"Gen'.ral," he said, "I am sorry to
Inform you that the moving picture
machine is out of order, and the bat
tie must be postponed."
With a muttered curse, the com
manning oflcer gave the order to
cease firing. February Bohemian.
Use Denatured Alcohol.
Those who have occasion to use al
cohol for burning or any mechanical
or industrial purpose, should remem
ber that as a result of the new na
tlonal law, denatured grain alcohol
can now be had at . a price which
makes It an object to use It Instead of
wood alcohol.
Denatured alcohol Is pure grain al
cohol to which a, small amount of
wood alcohol and certain chemicals
nave been added so as to make It un
fit for drinking p'urpVtses or medicinal
uses.
For heat, power, and all uses In the
arts and Industries, denatured alco.
hoi Is superior to the dangerously
poison wood alcohol and will doubt
less replace the latter. We are ready
to supply denatured alcohol in any
quantity.
Price, 25c per pint, 50c quart, $1.75
per gallon.
