Visitors to the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition this summer will be. treated gratis with unexcelled scenery and views. This scenery is so situated that a Strang, er in Seattle not only does not have to look for it but on the contrary, has it actually thrust upon his gaze. Standing upon any one of the city's numerous hills in clear weather, one is greeted on the east and west by glorious, snow-capped mountain ranges. To the north, Mt. Baker rears aloft in' brilliant whiteness; to the south, far away, is seen ' Mt. Hood of Oregon; while to the south east, not sixty miles distant, Mt. Rainier stands regal, dazzling with nis 14,000. feet of pearly whiteness. Such are sel dom found. Only a few hours' ride from the city will take an interested visitor to' Sno qualmie Falls, one of the highest in the world. The Snoqualmie river tumbles over a precipice and plunges down 280 feet into a seething cauldron below. Framed by Nature's choicest decoration tbi falls, to the lover of beauty, is magnificent. To the more practical mind, also it presents an interesting side. Back of and underneath the falls are hidden the great dynamos, from whose ceaseless whirring comes the light for the great city of Seattle. The engineers are very busy this week, working every minute they can, to have things ready to put the boiler fronts in when they come.
