A letter from Mr.. Robinson to Mr..

ing. think the movement will Justify It and
that everybody's expectations will be more than
met We note your desire for extra sixteen
feet OF space and will make arrangements &C.
cordingly.

round trip rates standing for the month of Octo-
Der are one fare ana one.fifth, bu. II you will
commence puiling ct the Northern Pacific Of
ficials at your end of the route we viii pull ct
this end and will probably be able to ret some
thing very much below that rate for Seattle
day. Il 10 barely possible that some Of your
people would like to come by the way Of the
Canadian Pacific. $50, you can probably get
an exceedingly low rate and will see some Of
by coming on the Canadian Pacific by the way
OF the Spokane Falls & Northern and have . sail
on the Columbia river.
Another letter from MIR. Robinson Of the
same date reads:
We enclose you diagram Of main floor with
your space marked In red ink. We trust you
will get your exhibit ready and will come or
send some one few days in advance Of arrival
Of your exhibit, 80 ~ to get your space fitted mp
in proper form. We wish to have every space
fitted up attractively, and by being early on the
spot yoH will be able TO- do 1t to better advau-
tage. Your material o1ght to be here by the
25tn OF this month In order to give you time to
pat It in shape.
Mr.. Prosch has promptly acted on
every one Of these suggestions. He is mr.
ranging for q speaker to represent Seattle
on Seattle day. Two carloads Of exhibits
were shipped yesterday and he is receiving
notice daily from more exhibitors. He
has arranged for eight spaces sixteen feet
square. making an aggregate 64x32 feet
allotted to Seattle. and is likely to need
still more space. Mr.. Prosch and Mr..
Shsubut went on Tuesday to the White
river exhibition Al Kent and were warmly
received by the managers. They were
taken around the town in q carriage,
Toasted and serenaded, and were
offered as many of the exhibits as they
pleased to send to the Spokane exhibition.
The exhibits at Kent include some splen-
did fruit, vegetables. hops, corn, ETC., and
a large number OF these will be sent to
Spokane by the committee. The Lake
Shore & Eastern railroad yesterday sent a
car to Bothell to bring down section of
the giant fir which was cut by the Huron
Lumber Company and from which Sec
ton was sent to the Minneapolis state fair.
The section sent to Spokane will be even
larger than this one, for it Will be cut
nearer the butt of the log. The number of
exhibits grows so rapidly that it is likely
that more space will be needed.
B. F. Shaubut is arranging for transpor-
tation to the exhibition. He is endeavor-
ing to secure special rates for not only
ordinary coaches but for Pullman cars.
He expects to secure enough excursionists
from Seattle to occupy at leas. one train,
and may make mp two trains. A rate per
day for Pullman cars will be made, prob
ably about So q day for each berth, which
is considerable reduction on the ordinary
rate.
