As a matter of fact, in many instances -they have suffered inconvenience be yond just limits of expectation. Just now they have a grievance a good strong one, too. It is against the electiic light com pany.. Since the establishment of the original electric light plant in this city many years ago until J. M. Porter sold to the present company several months ago Cor v. Jlis never had such poor light six-vice as she has experienced sLoce the recent change of own ership. When the power was fi.-st supplied from Albany it was a; 'parent to all that poorer ser vice was to be our inheritance. However, no one wanted to be precipitate in his judgment and tl.ere was little or no grumbling. As time rolled on the service crew no better and more com-1 plaint was heard. Those who were inclined to be patient made the most of a report to the effect that machinery was to be added to the Albany plant whereby it Yould be possible to give us a higher voltage than we ever had this meant better . light. To a degree this had a quieting effect. Tne effect of the favorable re port has run its course and what our people want and need at the present time is the light they are paying for. So far as G. A. Clark, local manager for the company, dnd his force in this city are concern ed, no blame attaches to them. They are powerless to better our service, or they would, there fore, we do not censure them. But the fact remains that the lights shed just about enough ra diance-to locatethem by and our citizens are becoming wearied The present company promised as good or better service than the town ever had, but so far it has not been provided. We hope it will be soon. There is one con solationthe company does not have an exclusive franchise. . If present , conditibns prevail for any considerable time longer there will be quite a bit of kero sene and gasoline sold in Corval lis in excess of the sales of recent years. A city gas plant might be considered. We hope to be shocked with a little higher vol tagebefore the "robins rest .again." - ' From what we learn the South ern Pacific Company is greatly in need of car builders . They have not cars enough to anywhere meet the demands of the country. We know of a local shipper who has been trying for some time to secure three cars, but to date has failed. How can any country develop when de pendent upon shipping facilities which cannot supply three cars within a reasonable space of time? It looks like the good old S. P. would have some built. Tr! FAIR OF 1909. Stcttle People Buy Stctk in Pa cific Exposition. A ten million dollar fair three years from now that's what the town of Seattle, the state of Washington, and the Pacific Northwest aTe looking forward to. The start has tuen made, a wonderful start, by the raising of $650,000 in one day through the sale of stock in the exposition corporation. October 2nd was a gala day in Seattle, the biggest day the 1 : 1 Wisringtoa metropolis ever had. It wasvknowB as-subscription day; the mayor, by proclamation, made it a holiday, and the slogan "Everybody Helps," adopted by Will H. Parry, chairman of the ways and means committee, was made a reality. There was a constant flow of checks and gold up the elevators to the fifteenth story of the Alaska building where the temporary headquart ers of the exposition have been established. - The fair already gives promise of a scope yet unattained by west ern enterprises. The name, Alaska-Yukon-Pacific 1 Exposition, contributes an idea of the general nature of the show. It will be primarily an Alaska fair, held to exploit to the world the resources of the little-known northland, and in this connectieu will be gathered the most remarkable mining display ever shown at a world's fair. The gold, that made the country originally fa mous will be told of through speci mens, photographs and machin ery, and other ores more recently discovered,' will have proper rep resentation. And more import ant, the agricultural and indust rial possibilities will be effective ly exploited. Besides Alaska, the great s Yu kon country will contribute sano ples oi its untold wealth, and the Islands of the sea will show their marvels. One of the principal objects of the exposition .will be tp bring together in trade the shores of the Pacific. With a population ten times as great as the United States, occupying a territory three times the size of Uncle Sam's domain, Asia and Oceanica, produce enormous quantities of wares which Ameri cans might use, while on the other hand, they need millions of dollars worth of goods made in America; To bring the two to gether, through the medium of exhibits, will bejhe object of the Seattle fair. State participation " in the Aiaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition is already a certainty, and the United States government is counted upon to put up a build ing or a series of buildings, and make a display worthy of .the richness of the land. The west ern states learned through the Lewis and Clark fair last year, the advantages to be gained through generous participation in national exhibits, and can be counted upon to make even bet ter displays than those which helped to make the 1905 show attractive. Oregon is certain to have a fine building, stufted with products, and California, always a good show state, will be there. Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Utah, Colorado and the ether states, as well as the British possessions to the , north, will be adequately represented. With nearly three years re maininor before the exposition, the beginning ot preparation has already been made. The Wash ington University grounds, com prising 355 acres, bordering on Lake Washington and Lake Union, have been chosen; as a site, m and landscape gardening will soon be begun. The site is situated twenty minutes' ride from the center of the city, and is in every way adapted to its purpose. Mastodon to be Exhibited. The big exposition to be held in .Seattle in 1909 will have as an attraction of mere than usual interest an almost perfect speci men of the mastodon which roamed the Northland a lew cen turies before Columbus discover ed America. Skeletons of the mastodon which was a beast con siderably larger than an elephant, have been reconstructed from scattered bones and exhibited at earlier fairs, but no exposition had the big beast as he looked when alive. The mastodon was- found on Cleary Creek, above Nome, by W. E. Thomas. The remains of his royalty were embedded in the ice. He is probably the finest specimen of the preservative powers of cold storage extant,! lor ne nrst got caught long be fore people knew even how to keep . ice during the summer months. So well was the . beast 'oreser ved that not many years ago, when a mild, winter permitted the ice to melt a little from about him. a starving animal ate somt ot the flesh. "Mastodon steak served while you wait! How would that strike you? It evi dently struck the hungry beasi very well, for he ate a big chunk, out of the mastodon's ! back. . Aside from the hole in his back, the great animal appears to be in excellent shape, and he will be dug out and thawed out and taken to Seattle. ' It is pro bable that it will be necessary to skin and staff him, and the job will be a big one for some taxi dermist. ' ?
