1909 EXPOSITION WILL BE
READY FOR OPENING DAY
Seattle to Set New Record—G reat
W orld’s F air to be Complete
From the F irst Day
ICijilit months from now, 011 the
first day of June 1009, the gates
of the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific e x ­
position at Seattle will be thrown
oj>eu to the public. For four
months and a half the first great
Pacific World’s fair will receive
visitors from all parts'of the globe.
If the visitor comes on the last
day, or in August or on the open­
ing day, he or she will find things
the same. It is the intention of
the officials of this exposition to
break all exposition records, to
establish a precedent and have all
complete and in readiness on the
opening day. The slogan of the
enterprise is just this— “ Ready on
the opening day.” The i>eople of
Seattle and the northwest are ac­
customed to doing things and they
will do this with characteristic
promptness and energy.
A mouth • ago the gates of the
exposition were closed to free ad­
mission. The day was celebrated
by a vast meeting of the stock
holders held on the steps of the
huge Manufacturers building. The
director general presented figures
showing that the exposition was
more than 70 per cent complete
and that the remaining work was
of such character that it could be
rushed to the final state in a few
months. To make doubly sure
the director of exhibits has in
structed all exhibitors that goods
will be received any time after
March 1st of next year, and that
everything must he ill place two
weeks before the official opening.
This certainly looks as if the
promise would be realized.
Three of the great permanent
buildings which will be turned
over to the University of Wash­
ington at the end of the fair are
finished. A fourth will be com­
pleted bv January 1st. The two
main exhibit palaces, the Manu­
facturers and Agriculture build­
ings have been finished for several
mouths. The Milling Palaces and
the Fisheries building, the Hospital
and the Fire Station have been in
use for months. The power plant
is ready to start up. Oregon
finished her palatial building in
September and entertained the
traveling passenger agents who
met in Seattle during that month.
California, which will have one of
the largest buildings on the
grounds, will announce her build­
ing completed by January 1st.
The Washington state building,
which will be permanent, is going
up rapidly. Contracts have been
let with a time limit of February
for the Arctic Brotherhood, I'or-
estry and Women’s buildings.
The United States government has
its plans ready and the commis­
sioners will let the contracts within
ten days and the buildings must
be ready two months before the
opening. Every other building to
be erected can be run up in two to
three months, so there is no danger
of the building side being behind.
How about the ground? is often
asked. The site of 250 acres of
virgin forest has been cleared,
graded, roads and paths laid out.
The central court of honor with
its beautiful cascades and geyser
basin is almost completed and it
is expected that water will be
turned on the middle of Novem­
ber Acres of lawn are coaled
with a heavy turf of refreshing
green. The Sunken gardens are
finished.
Miles of sewers, water mains
and electric conduits have been
laid, all permanent work for the
university, ( ’.as mains are now
going in and when that is once
finished the contractors will start
laying asphalt over the eleven
miles of streets and walks
livery
curbing is set and this work will
not take over two months to finish.
Several miles of cinder paths
winding through the virgin forest,
through beautiful glens and shady
nooks are ready.
The green houses which have
been in operation for two years
have over a million plants ready
for transplanting. Over ’all,(MM)
rose bushes are included in this
huge number. Several thousand
large tubs containing vines that
will grace the )>ergolas of the
great palaces are waiting to be
placed and more are thriving un­
der the gardener’s care. There is
going to be no mistake about the
decorative features of the exposi-
tion. It will be one of the most
distinctive parts of the brilliant
show and people will go away
from Seattle next year with pleas­
ant memories of the masses of
roses, the great rhododendron
banks, the fragrant flower beds of
the sunken gardens, the graceful
festoons of vines that are found
everywhere. The eyes will not
have grown tired from the glare of
glass, white paint and dusty paths;
the great stretches of green turf,
the everlasting green of the giant
firs and cedars, the green, green
everywhere will afford full relief
and people will more than ever
realize the boast of Washington as
the Evergreen state.
The l ‘)0‘) exposition is going to
be ready on the opeuiug day and
the visitors need not wait, it will
be come early and avoid the rush.

COL BLAIR
SETTING OUT
AN ORCHARD
Col. Blair of Hotel Oregon, who
recently acquired 60 acres of fine
fruit land in the southern suburbs
of Cottage Grove on Fourth street,
a part of the Spray place, has men
at work plowing thirty acres, 10
acres of which will lie set to or­
chard this fall, five acres to En­
glish walnuts and five acres to
Comice pears, which will make a
total of IS acres set out to fruit,
five acres of winter apples having
been planted by
Mr. Spray
before he sold this tract to Col.
Blair. Next fall another ten or
twenty acres will be set out to wal­
nuts and fruit trees by Col. Blair
and he will soon have one of the
best young orchards in this
vicinity, this tract comprising a
slight west and south slope being
ideal for any kind of fruit. The
upi>er or highest part of the tract
is supplied with some good springs
from which the place can be irri­
gated if necessary. The Colonel
has made a good investment.
FIRST SNOW FALL
IN BOHEMIA MINES
G. G. Warner returned to this

camp Tuesday, where he has

mining properties. He says the
first snow for the season came
drifting down last week and is
now about two feet deep in the
higher altitudes. A great deal of
development work was accomp­
lished in the camp this season and
one new reduction plant was put
in. ■ All indications point to an
active season next year when some
of the mines will certainly become
actual producers.

Mr. Peyton was a first cousin to

was a bold and daring detective and

his services were secured to put a

H E R E is no real equality of rich and poor before tho

himself in court is small.

The state, of course, is expected to aid tho poor man in his de­

often of tho S H Y S T E R variety and at best seldom experienced or
very able. Tho poor man has no funds to bring in W IT N E S S E S
