That tho Ala8kan-Tukon-PaclfIc exposition to be held in Seattle In 1909 will be a great event, well con ducted and appropriately equipped to disnlnv the resources of the great territory It Is to represent, Is the be lief of H. C. Willis, formerly ot mis city, but now of Blalock Island, who has Just returned from the sound cit ies. Tim ereat buildings of the exposi tion are now well under way and an army of men Is employed In construct ing them and clearing away the Im mense grounds. It will surpass in many features tho Lewis and Clark fair at Port land, In the opinion of Mr. Willis, be cause of the wider experience of the fair management. The Lewis and Clark fair and the Jamestown event of last year taught Seattle a lesson. One fine feature of the Seattle ex position is that the best buildings are to be made permanent and win he given to the university of Wash ington for Its use., They will there fore become permanent assets of the state of Washington and are being erected with a view to architectural beauty and permanency.

C E BUSINESS Ml RECEIPTS FOR QUARTER SHOW 15 PER CENT INCREASE Largest Growth Was During April and -May Election literature Re sponsible for Part, But It Will Not Account for Entire $600 Growth I Steady Throughout Ute Year. Receipt of the Pendleton postof flce for the quarter ending July 1 show an Increase of almost 16 per cent over the receipts for the same period in 1907. According to the flg pres contained in the report recently prepared by Harry Rees, assistant postmaster, the total receipts for the past three months aggregate (4759.70. A year ago the receipts for the same quarter amounted to but 14152.(9. For the months of June thla year the receipts were but slightly great er than those for June last year, most of the Increase being during the months of April and May. Part of the Increase in postal business may be attributed to the election matter that was sent out. But the local post office people deny that the 15 per cent Increase was due to that source. While considerable matter was sent out through the local office It Is said that not more than one fifth of the $(00 Increase was due to that source. The fact that the receipts for June surpassed those of June, 1907 indi cate that the natural business of the local office la slowly growing. BETTER PRESS SERVICE.

What was (eared would turn out to be a wholesale suicide, murder, or fa tal accident, has cleared up In a rath er laughable episode, funny for all except those concerned, says the Wal la Walla Bulletin. Word came to Deputy Sheriff John Cummlngs at Wallula the other day that a raft had been caught by some squaws upon which was the clothing of four men, together with some personal prop erty. Deputy Cummlngs hurried at once to the scene of the trouble and there found out the true status of the case, which was as follows: The four men, three of whom were Italians, wanted to cross the Snake river but had no boat They decided to'swim, but didn't want to get their clothing wet, so they made a raft and put their clothes on it They Intend ed to use the raft In helping them acros, but while they were get ting ready, the raft In some way slip ped Its moorings and went down the river of Its own accord. The river Is high at this time and the current swift and the four saw their clothes disappear, thinking they would never see them again. They secured some more and went on their way, being last heard of at Pasco. Their garments are being held for them In case they want them.
