ESTIMATE OF ADMISSIONS Secretary Henry Reed Expects 2, 500,000 Visitors to Alaska-Pacific Exposition From AH Over the United States. SEATTLE. Wash.. Jan. 6. (To the Editor.) I have the honor to give you the following information concerning the plan and scope of the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition: The cor poration In charge' of the construc tion, control. administration and operation of the exposition is legally known as Alaska-Yukon-Paclf lc Ex position. Its capital stock, a fixed in the original articles of incorporation, is $800,000, all of which will be paid In prior to the opening of the exposl 'th'n. Our stockholders have prompt ly met their obligations as their sev- .1 assessments have fallen due, and wo have every confidence that in the final adjustment the default will not xceoil 3 per cent of the total sub scriptions, due mainly to business re verses, sickness and death. This will Indeed be a very commendable re sult. On January of this year we went be fore the Legislature of the State of Washington and requested that an ap propriation of ,1.000.000 be made for the purposes of the exposition. "With out unnecessary delay the Legislature appropriated $1,000,000 and the entire fund has been available since July 20. The appropriation made by the State of Washington for the exposition was indeed most gratifying, as it shows the cordial sentiment of the state at large toward the exposition project. It compares as follows with appro priations by other states for exposi tions held within their confines: Mis souri, for the Louisiana Purchase Ex position, $1,000,000: Illinois, for the World's Columbia Exposition, $800,000; New York, for the Pan-American Ex position, $350,000; Oregon, for the --wIs and Clark Centennial Exposi tion, $500,000; Nebraska, for the Trans-Mlssisslppl Exposition, $100,00.). Funds Xow Being Expended. The funds made available by the Legislature of the State of Washing ton are now being expended jointly by the regents of the University of Washington and the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition Commission for the State of Washington. The money will he expended for buildings and ex hibits and . practically the - entire amount has been contracted for and will be expended during the years 1908 and 1909. In addition to the ap propriation of $1,000,000 made by the Legislature of Washington, the vari ous counties of the state have made grants for their participation and the nggregate of these appropriations thus far reported is $200,000. In addition to the action above referred to, the State . of Washington has, by joint resolution adopted by its Legislature, invited the Government of the United States and all the states of the Union to participate in the exposition by erecting- Suitable buildings and mak ing appropriate displays. This invi tation has been accepted by the fol lowing states, which have made ap propriations for their participation as set opposite their names: Oregon, $100,000; California, I1J0. 000; Pennsylvania, $75,000; Nebraska, $16,000; Missouri. $10,000; Utah, $2000. In all the states named, the appro priations will be materially Increased by legislative enactment before the exposition opens and we have been assured also of the official participa tion of 15 other states of the Union. Oregon and California have already selected their building vsttes and will begin the construction of their state building! within a short time. A bill for the participation of the United States at the exposition will be considered by the session of Con gress meeting in December. 1907. It provides for appropriations for the representation of the United States Government, the non-contiguous terri tory and the fisheries industry, as foliows: Exhibit, In ., stallatlon Purpose Bullfllnfr. and main- Total. tonance.

The Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposi tion will not ask, expect or accept any loan of funds from the United States Government, nor will it ask, expect or accept from the Government any ap propriation other than the appropria tion which the Government may make for its participation. During the present year, honorary commissioners of the exposition have visited Great Britain, France, Ger many. Holland. Russia. China, Japan, Italy. Norway, Sweden, Austria. Canada, Mexico and the Central and South American states and have re ceived assurances from prominent manufacturers, shippers and commer cial associations that the interest in the alms and purposes of the exposi tion in those countries is sufficient to justify that measure of participation on their part as will be in keeping with the scope of our exposition, as we have determined it. As soon as the controlling corpora tion had ben permanently organized, the work of constructing the exposi tion was begun. John C. Olmsted, of Brookline, Mass., laid out the grounds, and Messrs. Howard & Gal loway, of California, have been given the supervision of the architecture. The grounds have been rapidly cleared and landscaped and the plans for the various buildings have been drawn and bids invited. One building, the Ad ministration building, has been com pleted and occupied since September 1 of this year. Thus far the exposi tion corporation has expended for all purposes connected with Its work nearly $300,060. This is exclusive of the contracts made by the State of Washington, amounting, as I have said before, to $1,000.00). The policy which will prevail In the exhibit department has been decided after careful deliberation of all aspects of the subject. The exhibits moat desired are thosg- lyi-Hig WINNERS OF THE .,.....,1... it- ..i. , , . fr. 9. ir..f....- , frlrri-Y)iTTi-fcittriiiiiiiiiiii1-Tiriwnf'iTi -i friiliiaraMrr,HKfriniiifiii it mil THE FIELD STAFF" AND NON-COMMISSIONED STAFF RIFLE!

The keenest sense of discrimination in regard to the character of exhibits will be exercised and every possible effort will be put forth to exclude paltry and objectionable features. Expect 2,500,000 Visitors. We Have made a preliminary esti mate of the probable paid admissions at the exposition, and our figure, which I think is conservative, is 2,300,000. This will be larger than the attendance at any previous exposi tion .over held In the United States, with the "exception of Philadelphia, Chicago, Buffalo and St Louis exposi tions. We estimate the probable num ber of visitors from east of Denver at approximately 4J0.0OO. Indeed, the number of these visitors will be lim ited only by the capacity of the trans continental railroads to handle the traffic that will be offered to them. The President of the United States commended the exposition to the care ful consideration of Congress In his official message delivered on Decem ber 4, 1906. Also, in his message delivered De cember S, 1957, the President again commended the exposition to Congress. As the development of Alaska's po tentialities Is one of the main purposes of the exposition, I have caused spe cial Inquiry to be made. into the trade of that district and herewith submit the results: For the year ended June 30, 1907, Alaska's Imports were $20,379,646, com pared with $16,446,530 for the year ended June 30, 1906. For the year ended June SO, 1907. Alaska's exports were $39,075,736, compared with $30, 780.891 for the year ended June 30, 1906. The increase for 19J7 was nei-ly 26 per cent, as compared with the year ended June 30, 1906. On the basis of 83,000 population, Alaska's Imports for the year ended June 30, 1907, amounted to $245 per capita, while its exports reached the astonishing aver age of $471 per capita. HENRY E.

The boat, has Just been completed at the ship yard here Tor the Columbia &. Okanogan Steamboat Company and makes the fifth boat of their fleet, the other four being the Okanogan, Columbia, Chelan and En terprise. The Star is smaller than the first three, being 100 feet long and 21 feet wide, with a drift light of 16 inches, but capable, of being loaded to four feet. She is .especially intended for service on the river when the water gets so low that the larger boats have to be tied up. The Columbia & Okanogan Company's fleet on the river Is composed now of practically new vessels. The oldest boat, the Chelan, was brought by the Millers from the upper Kootenay five years ago and later sold by them to the present owners. The Columbia and- Enterprise are three years old.

In the Sunday Oregonlan there appeared an article entitled "Dental .College Faculty Sis- 6 Investment Bonds We are offering an attractive and one of the very best investments which can now be purchased at the lowest prices. These bonds are in denomination of $100. i With every sale of bonds 100 PER CEKT STOCK BONUS IS GIVEN v You get $200,00 for every $100.00 invested Further information npon request. ' ST. JOHN GAS LIGHT & HEAT COMPANY, 206-7-8 Couch Bldg., Portland. pute," in which Dr. J. M. Myr makes in sinuations charging; jealousy as the cause for having lost his position with the North Pacific College of Dentistry and makes nu merous statements that are not true: Be fore answering; these statements, permit me to correct an error. I am reported to have said: "I have the highest regard for Dr. Meyer." This was a mistake which I feel sure The Oregonlan will allow me to correct. I did not make the. statement. That Dr. Meyer possesses ability in certain directions Is not questioned, as Is evidenced by his having been employed by this college. But more Is required of a teacher than signing a contract and drawing salary. Dr. Meyer had a contract with the college which would have expired October 1. This contract re quired Iflm to report for duty October J. 1905. Dr. Meyer was about two weeks late In assuming his duties and other teachers were obliged to substitute. For three or four months he was regular in attendance and then began to grow careless, absenting himself from the college for hours at a time when his assistance was required. The second year he was fairly punctual In meeting morning classes, but became more careless in regard to his other duties, often absenting himself for hours when scheduled to be on duty. Patients would arrive by special appoint ment and were often disappointed by his non-appearance and the consequent rear rangement this necessitated. This condition grew steadily worse until he would absent himself for days and on several occasions zor weeks at a time without leave of absence. and though remonstrated with and warned repeatedly he was unable or unwilling to correct bis Irregular habits. Since the beginning of the resent session, October 1, he has been very inefficient and Inattentive, often necessitating my sending another teacher to 'remain with bis class, due to his absence. The teachers associated with him, especially those in the chemical department, have done everything they knew how to help protect and shield him until patience ceased to be a virtue, and it was definitely decided several weeks before the publication of these reported operations tnat Dr. Meyer's contract should be can celed with the beginning of the new year. When Christmas vacation arrived I noti fied him of our' intentions, advising him that If he wished to resign and retire he might have that privilege. This he finally agreed to do, but later changed his mind. December 31 he was formally notified of his dismissal. A check for his salary was prepared at the same time the other checks were drawn and had he reported for serv ice on that date as was his duty he would have received it. If the doctor believes he Is entitled to further consideration it li his privilege to appeal to the courts and I have every confidence they will do him full justice. Had Dr. Meyer desired to give The Oregonlan some of the true reasons for his dismissal he could have presented my letter to him, dated January 8, and received at the time his check was called for. Dr. Meyer Is reported as saying: "T was dean df the Tacoma School when' the old Oregon College of Dentistry, under Dr. Miller, was not recognised as of regular standing, while the Tacoma School , was. When we consolidated, brought the Ta coma School here to Portland, and out of the two formed the North Pacific College of Dentistry the new institution was recognised- as a member of the National associ ation. Dr. Miller became president and I took, a place as member of the faculty." These statements are not true, as Is clearly shown ty the records. The Oregon College of Dentistry commenced Its first session October l, 18, and during the Spring of 3900 the college was visited by committees from the University of California. the Washington University, of St. Louis, and after a thorough Inspection and Investiga tion gave their full Indorsement and recom mendation of the Oregon College for mem bership in the National Association of Dental Faculties, which was the shortest time In which it Is possible for a new col lege to obtain membership. The Tacoma School moved to Portland during the Sum mer of 1899 and was not united with the Oregon College until the Summer of 1900. Dr. Meyer's connection with the Tacoma School had been severed prior to the re moval of that institution to this city and Dr. Baker was dean of that college at the time of its removal to this city. Dr. Meyer was not connected with either of the schools at the time of their consolidation and the records show that he had no inter ests in the -Tacoma School at the time It was removed to Portland, nor did I become president of the college until several years after the consolidation.
