PROSPECTS
,f BRIGHT
Seattle, Feb, 11. (Special corres
pondence.) The work on the grounds
and building of the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific
exposition goea on without In
terruption. The Manufacturer build
ing will soon be ready for the placing
of the big roof, while tbe Agriculture
building Is rapidly taking shape. The
Auditorium, Machinery and Fine Art
building, permanent structures, will
soqn be under Way, aa likewise will
the Mine and Fisheries buildings.
The exposition 1 gaining many
more friend In congress. A favora
ble hearing was. had recently in the
house committee on Industrial exposi
tions, at which many prominent men
appeared In behalf of the 109 fair.
Among them was Secretary Taft, who
la In favor of liberal appropriation
for government participation. The
committee In the senate ha reported
uaz;s:!t!?K favorably. The ex
position measure a It - now stands
makes an appropriation' of $700,000.
or thi amount SS00.000 Is for build
ing and 1 400.000 for exhibit. The
exposition management ha assurance
that the bill will pas some time in
the near future.
The entire west Is standing back of
the exposition with It support. The
following editorial In the Portland
Oregonlan adequately expresses " the
sentiment felt In the western states In
regard to government participation:
"In all of the reports coming from
Washington, D. C, constant reference
Is made to the bad effect which the
Jamestown fiasco would have on the
expected appropriation for Seattle. If
this be the Influence working against
the project, it reflects no credit on the
Intelligence of the men who are un
favorable to a liberal appropriation.
"The conditions and Influences
which' made a failure of the James
town exposition could by a wide
stretch of the imagination be con
strued as having anything In common
with 'those which w ill govern the suc
cess or failure of the big show Seattle
is preparing.
"If the Seattle exposition must be
haggled over and cut down because
the Jamestown exposition was a fail
ure, why would not be fair to pass a
liberal 'apporprlatlon, and pass it
quickly, because the Portland exposi
tion was a grand success? Nearly
every element that entered Into th
success of the Portland. exposition will
be In evidence at Seattle.
"The exposition will be a success
because the Portland exposition was
a success. The western stamp of en
terprise and selfrellance was on the
Portland project, and It will also be
on that of Seattle. It was sadly miss
ing from the southern failure. If th
bill Is pruned too deeply or should
meet with defeat, It will be largely the
result of Ignorance on the part of the
men opposing It."
