At Chicago.
No more genial, Intelligent, or proper
person could have been secured to take
charge OF the state headquarters at Chi
cago than ex-Mayor Wheelwright, of
Tacoma. He is polite, cosmopolitan and
an interesting talker. Temporary state
headquarters will be opened in the bust
ness center Of Chicago, September /, 1892,
and permanent headquarters as soon
thereafter as practicable, and such head
quarters will continue open until the
close OF the worlds fair, October 81, 1898.
To determine the extent and character of
the accommodations required, it is neces-
sary to know as early as possible how
many persons visiting the worlds fair
from this state desire to make use OF such
headquarters. If intending visitors will
send in their names to Mr.. Wheelwright,
at Tacoma, without delay; they will re-
ceive circular setting forth the object
and advantages OF these headquarters,
both to the state and to the individual.
Mr.. Wheelwright says: The value of
state headquarters in Chicago prior to
and during the Columbia exposition will
be apparent to intending visitors and
cannot fail to be advantageous to the
state, inasmuch as it affords a suitable
place to invite friends or strangers whom
We desire to interest in our resources.
They will serve asa bureau of Informal
ton for all Westinghouse who intend
visiting tie fair.
As IA medium for securing accommoda-
tons, without any charge for such SER
vice. AS an address for letters, kilograms
and general business purposes.
AS convenient place to attend to cor
respondence, make appointments, invite
friends and acquaintance and meet Wis
itors from our own state.
1t is intended that these headquarters
shall combine the conveniences of an ex-
change, bureau of information and
social club for the proper entertainment
of our friends.
Newspapers from all parts of the state
will be kept on file.
Literature relating to our resources and
various localities and industries will be
found here and a miniature exhibit of our
woods, coal and other minerals; fruits,
grain and other farm products, as we'll as
maps Of the state and different sections
of the state, charts of Sound and coast,
and views of our cities, towns and
scenery.
Separate accommodations will be pro-
vided for the ladies of Washington.
A room will be devoted to the special
use OF the press of the state, as well as
representatives of leading journals
throughout the country.
A weekly bulletin will be issued from
these headquarters to the Washington
state press, the first one to furnish in
tending visitors all possible information
as to the class and cost of accommoda-
tions and how to secure the same under
binding conditions.
Temporary quarters will be opened Sep
TENDER 1st next, and permanent head
quarters as soon thereafter as practi-
cable, their character and extent depend
ing largely on the action of the legisla-
ture and commercial organizations
throughout the state in appropriating a
sum sufficient for their proper mainten-
ance. AS soon as the refusal of suitable
accommodations is secured an appeal
will be made to all commercial bodies in
the state to contribute fair pro rata
amount for this purpose, to the end that
this annex may prove not only conven-
fence to visitors, but a credit to this
great commonwealth.
1t will readily appear how such an aux
iliary to the state exhibition can be made
to create in advance lively interest in
our state and to enable us to practically
follow up and profit by the impression
thus created.-Olympia Tribune.
