SEATTLE, Aug. 25. In order to
show" the Atlantic seaboard what the
Pacific produces in the way of sea
food, the Pacific fishing industries
w ill serve every variety ' of known
fish product," cooked in most pala
table style, during the entire' New
E-glanil week beginning September
3. The fish barbecue will be free to
all, and cod,' mackerel, ' salmon, hali
but, smelt and flounder, will be doled
but under the watchful eye of ex
perienced chefs.
The Bering Cod Fishing company
of Anacortes first broached the plan
of "educating" the insular easterner,
and without exception all the fishing
firms and corporations approached
have agreed to help carry out the
big fish feast.
New England society officials when
told of the plan, said they doubted
if the Pacific coast sea-food could
make much Impression on a New Bed
ford man, but that they were "will
ing .to be shown." So the gauntlet
was thrown and accepted, and Now
England week will see the greatest
display of fried, fricaseed, boiled.
baked, planked, and stewed denizens
of the Pacific deen that rni ha
imagined by the most enthusalst'c
piscatorial epicure.

sobered up they had forgotten where

To one who.se acquaintance with
the Spokane Interstate Fair grounds
is limited to the annual visit dur
ing the holding of the fair, the
changes are so marked th!H year that
it is necessary to Btop occasionally
and get one's bearing to be sure that
one is looking at; the same sections
that have been familiar for years. '
Every part of the grounds shows
the effects of the money that has
been spent since last year'a fair in
handsome improvements. .
Race track and inclosed field, in
which are performed all the variety
acts, grand stand and basement of
grand stand, in which this year Is
a hall fotf the accommodation of
automobiles, exhibit buildings and
drlveways, all have been altered and
improved.
The center field in front of the
grand stand, whereon was given last
year the "Pain Fireworks," the "Erup
tion of Vesuvius," and whereon this
year will be seen the tremendous
pyrotechnic spectacle of the Gregory
Fireworks company, "The Siege of
Jerkjio," nightly, has been levelled
at great expense to make the most
perfect and uninterrupted view of the
vast drama.
The space between the rear of the
grand stand and the exhibition build
ings, which last year was somewhat
uneven under foot has been carefully
graded and now makes a perfect
walking or driving ground. Eighteen
new flagpoles, resplendent in bright
gilt, now decorate the fruit and grain
building.
Instead of the board fence that has
always greeted the eye of the ap
proaching visitor on the south Bide,
there has been erected this year a
neat and sightly wire fence. The
ramshackle wooden Bbacka that faced
the old board fence for Quite a dis
tance west of the main entrance have
been torn down, a walk laid over the
space occupied by the shacks, and
'room is given for short exhibits.
