H. C. WILLIS SAYS SEATTLE
FAIR WILL BE SUCCESS
Buildings Are Well Under Way and
Army of Men Is Being Employed
Thmks It Will Surpass In Some
Kexpcctti the Beautiful Lewis &
Chirk Exposition Best Buildings
Are to Be Mudo Permanent.
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.
Many Oregon men are at the head
of departments of the Seattle expo
sition. Henry E. Dosch Is director of
exhibits. Henry Reed Is at. the head
of the publicity department, while
Frank L. Merrick, formerly press
agent for the Lewis and Clark fair,
Is also press agent of the Seattle ex
position and Is giving It much publicity.

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.

WHOLESALE DROWNING A JOKE
Clothing and Valuables Found on Raft
But Owners Are Safe.
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.
