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

No Loan From United States.
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

life, color, demonstration and motion.
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.

yesterday for her Initial trip up the Co

Northern Washington mining: camps. The
boat, has Just been completed at the ship

Steamboat Company and makes the fifth
boat of their fleet, the other four being

the Chelan, was brought by the Millers

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.
