The manufacturers exposition. which
It was some time ago proposed 10 hold
in Seattle shortly after new years. Is
now practically assured. At the regu-
lar meeting Of the Seattle Manufact-
urerst Association last night IN the Cham
Der Of Commerce rooms, the COMMITTEES

ported. recommending the holding Of the
exposition. II will be under the auspices
OF the association. but will be repre-
sentative Of the state.

tee. presented the report. which rs In

nous opinion on the part Of the mem
bers Of this association. as well as 9TH
err who have been waited upon. that an
exhibition. properly carried out. Of the

strides which Seattle has made In IN

ciusion that an exhibition OF local goods.
including machinery. food products. arts.

articles. could be made peculiarly varied

which this city and state might reason
ably expect to derive from such an ex-
position can hardly be over-estimated.
