BRING YOUR CAMERA
And Come to Alaska-Yukon-Pacific
Exposition.
VISITORS CAN TAKE PICTURES
All Sixes up to 61x8 Will be Allowed
in the Grounds, But Tripods Will
be Excluded, as They Take up Too
Much Room.
SEATTLE. March 18. "Come to
the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition
in 1909 and bring your .camera."
That is the invitation extended by
the management of the 1909 fair to
the people of the country and espec
ially to those devotees of photogra
phic art Again the Alaska-Yukon-Exposition
is departing from the
policies of former expositions and do
ing something different
' The division of concessions, of
which A. W. Lewis is director, will
permit, under the contract of the of
ficial photographer, all kodaks and
cameras not over the size of 6 1-2 x
8 1-2 inches to be taken on the
grounds and visitors will be allowed
to take all of the pictures they desire
of the buildings, exhibits and other
features. There will be only one re
striction, however, positively no tri
pods will be permitted to be used in
napping views.
. At former expositions the rules re
garding cameras on the grounds have
varied. At some world's fair a small
fee was charged for kodaks not over
4 x S inches in sije. At other exposi
tions cameras not over. 4x5 inches
were admitted free. In each case
tripods were prohibited. These in
struments take up a good deal of
room and when one is taking a photo
graph by the help of one of them
they often obstruct avenues and
aisles which are constantly streaming
with people.
' The exclusion of cameras over a
specified size at previous expositions
was done in order to protect the of
fieial photographer who had paid a
large sum for the exclusive right to
take photographs on the grounds and
who had to have his concession pro-j
tected in order to make his expenses
and profit out of the sale of photo
graphs. Although the management
realizes that it cannot secure as much
money for the granting o'f the photo
graphic concession, it reasons that it
will be fully recompensed in making
so lenient a rule by the doing away
with of the annoyance and confusion
which was caused by the exclusion of
cameras at other expositions. At
former world's fairs a person would
leave his or her hotel with a kodak
larger than the prescribed size, and
on reaching the gates of the exposi
tion would find that they could not
enter with their apparatus. Perhaps,
their hotel would be several miles
away and there was no place on the
outside where they could check their
machine, or if there were such a place,
their camera might be too valuable
to be left in a check room where there
was danger of it being damaged.
They would have to return to their
hostelry to Jeave their camera, pro
voked or mad at the exposition of
ficials, which would cause them to
lose several hours of valuable time
which otherwise they could be spend
ing to advantages in seeing the sights
of the exposition.
Other instances have been when
nerson with a tabooed camera had
passed through the turnstiles on
big day when the crowd was large
evading the watchful eye of both
guard and gatekeeper. After getting
some distance from any of the exit
gates and attempting to take a picture
a guard would appear and stop the
photographer and insist that he or she
leave the grounds. In every case the
mard. under orders, would nave to
escort the offender to the nearest gate
with the amonishment not to return
unless the camera was left outside
which of course was humiliating. In
stances have been known when the
camera fiend caused the guard trouble
and had to be taken to the fair police
station. Again professionals who
sassed the guard and insisted on pro
ceeding with their picture taking had
their cameras smashed by the ex
position guardian of the peace whose
act was justifiable under his instruc
tions.
The exposition management ex
oects its innovation in the camera
rules to recieve the hearty commenda
tion of all exposition visitors and es
pecially those who bring kodaks in
order to take home pictorial remem
brances of their visits.
HEAPED FLOWERS ON GRAVES
BERLIN . March 18-People of the
east side of Berlin paid a silent trib
ute to the memory of the revolution
ists who were killed in the street fight
in this city in 1848. An imposing
crowd of sympathisers gathered at
the graves of the dead men in Fred
richshain Park and heaped them high
with flowers. The police had taken
ample precautions to prevent an out
break but their services were not
needed. There was no disorder.
Mass meetings under the auspices of
the socialists were held in Berlin this
evening but all passed off in the most
orderly manner.
DISCORD ABOUT MACEDONIA.
ST. PETERSBURG, March 18.
The Novoe Vremya publishes an in
terview with a high official of the
foreign office who criticizes the Brit
ish proposal to Macedonia as bound
to produce discord among the pow
ers. In Russia's view, says the offic
ial, the appointment of a Christian
would be absolutely impossible as it
would destroy Turkish sovereignty.
Russia has communicated to the
powers a counter-proposal looking to
judicial and other reforms adapted to
local conditions and avoiding a radi
cal solution of the question.

ASSOCIATION
MEETING OF THE BOARD OF
DIRECTORS YESTERDAY AF
TERNOON HELD AT THE
OFFICE OF CITY ATTORNEY
Yesterday afternoon after the busi
ncss of the day was over the board
of directors of the Astoria Amateur
Athletic Association met in the office
of City Attorney Abercrombie,
The affairs of the association hav
been in rather a dormant condition
for several weeks owing to the fact
that the hall committee could not
secure suitable quarters.
Now, however, the atmosphere
clears and it was stated that one of
Astoria's solid business men would
erect a two-story building 150x50, and
arrange the upper story to suit the
needs of the association; tho rental
to be guaranteed for three years.
the association will incorporate such
incorporation would be sufficient
guarantee to the owner that the ren
tal would be paid.
It was voted to incorporate for
$3000 and the shares will be at the
par value of $5.00 each. This money
will be used to fit up the premises
with apparatus, seating arrangements,
four shower baths, etc. in fact, the
hall will be a model of its kind.
The directors will meet again this
afternoon to perfect arrangements to
call upon men who have sons and
those who are interested in the wcl
fare of the young men of the city,
and to lend their aid by stock sub
scriptions to provide a place for the
boys to go where they can develop
their bodies and brains, instead of
spending their- spare time hanging
around billiard and pool rooms.
PROTEST COMMITTEES.
To go With an Address to Cpngress
Regarding Injunction!.
WASHINGTON, March ia-That
memorial formally protesting against
the inaction of Congress in the mat
ter of legislation in the interest of
organized labor and clearly setting
forth its demands with due despect
thereto will be presented to the lead
ers that that body within a few days
was the most important action taken
at today's session of the labor confer
ence here today. The duty will de
volve noon the resolution of two
committees appointed by President
Gompers today and termed the
Protest committees1' which are di
rected to frame an address to be pre
scnted to those responsible for the
legislation in Congress. It was also
decided to ask the leaders in congress
to fix upon a time when the commit

confer with them. It is understood

recent injunctions by the supreme
court against labor organizations and
sk'that the Sherman anti-trust law be
mended so as to afford relief.
Bad breath has probably broken off
more matches than bad temper, and
that's a good many. The best cure for
bad breadth is the tonic-laxative, Lane's
Family Medicine.
