SITKA TO LOSE CUSTOMS
 HEADQUARTERS
A Special Act to This Effect Will Be Soon
 Recommended to Congress q

In the region to which Juneau Is lmmed- lately tributary, and to the comparative isolation of sItka with reference to the growing commerce of Southern Alaska.
 Similar considerations are urging the removal of the governors residence and the paraphernala of the capital from Stka to Juneau. lt was expected, when the Alaska code bill was under consideration In the spring of 1000, that the removal of the capital would be accomplished wItoin a reasonable short time; that Is as soon as a suitable site could be secured. At that lime a great deal of the land comprised in the iownslte of Juneau was under elouded title, and 1t was deemed advisable to await developments before making the re- mOval of the capital absolutely certain.

HORSES ATTRACT ALL CLASSES
Noble Steeds on Exhibition Cause Uni
versaI Admiration.

The horses are an attractive fea-
ture of the fair. A steady stream of
people is constantly going through the
barns and each individual sees some
thing to interest him. The fine dis
play Of all breeds of horses this year
is ahead Of the exhibits in this de-
partment in previous years.
There are 800 fine horses in the show
and the interest is divided between the
dapper speed horses, the we'll developed
mares and the stout stations. The
Shetland ponies are looked upon with
Wistful eyes by the small boys.
The Willow Brook farm, Clay county,
Mimi, has an exhibit of eighty head of
Cleveland bay horses. Fourteen en-
tries were made from among them and
they won the first class in all except
one. The twoyear- old colt, Fortune"
took first prize in sweepstakes and
grand sweepstakes over horses of all
ages. There are many fine mares and
stations in this exhibit.
Thomas Irvine & Sons have an ex-
hibit of twenty head Their Fran
cois," beautiful large white stallion,
fifteen years of age, is there. This
horse is graduate Of the Minnesota
state fair, and is debarred from fur
ther competition. "Grendelier," in the
trotting class, is in this exhibition also.
T. D. and ]. L. Delaney, Of North
field Mimi, have an exhibit of twenty
head. Their stallion 'Lyceen" is a
beautiful horse. N. P. Clark, Of ST.
Cloud Mimi, have thirteen Clydesdales
and one hackney. Finch Bros. Of
Spring Dale farm, Joliet, ILL.,, have
fourteen head, among which are Com
modore w." a three-year- -old, who took
the prize at the recent Iowa state fair.
"Teddy Roosevelt" two-year- old, a
valuable horse, is in the exhibit.
Ed. Hodgson, Ell Paso, ILL.,, has an ex-
hibit consisting of French draft, Per-
cherons and Kentucky saddle horses.
Crandall Bros, Red Wing, Jean Duluth

norman, Midway horse market; S. r.

| have to be erected for this part of the
| fair.
1--WE have as good an exhibit in the
horse line as was ever shown at any
fair" said Mr.. Curryer, "and we have
not the room to properly exhibit them.
I If the attendance for the next three
| days continues as it has for the first
three there will be money enough to
| put in two or possibly more horse
| barns
w. M. Liggett, superintendent Of the
cattle department, expressed himself
in like way.
"There is no state in the Union
F., which can compare with Minnesota in
| it's state fair. 1 have always main
tanned this and the comment made by
| exhibitors who have been present here
| this week and have attended the Mis-
souri, and Iowa fairs during the past
| two weeks bear out my claims. The
cattle display this year has been the
best we ever had, and the sales Of
Hereford stock to the farmers of our
state proves conclusively that the fair
| is of immense advantage to those in
| terested in stock raising. We need
| more buildings and 1t looks now as If
we would come out sufficiently ahead
| to erect several"
Fair Is the Best in the Country.
! Leslie Parlin, superintendent Of the
poultry department, Joined with the
| other officials in insisting that more
room was needed for the poultry ex-
hib1t. I'VE must have more room,"
said Mr. Parlin. "as we are now oblig-
ed to use tents in order to accommo-
date the exhibitors. Our exhibits this
year are far ahead of last year and
about the best that was ever displayed
at any fair"
B. D. White, in charge of the dairy
exhibit, in speaking of the success >of
the fair, said:
"The interest Of the state in dairy
exhibits, in butter, cheese and dairy
machinery is evidenced by the increas-
ed number Of entries in our depart
ment. We need and must have more
room. That the fair Is success can
not be doubted, and those who have
attended other state fairs say without
being asked that Minnesota has the
best fair they ever attended. What we
want for next year is additional build
ings, and especially for the dairy de-
partment."

Hoffman's parachute failed to work
| and he dropped to the ground shortly
| after. 8 o'clock last night.
Hoffman, who makes AN ascension
twice day at the state fair, going up
in a balloon advertising local paper,
started upon his journey into the
clouds last night under the most au-
spicious circumstances.
His balloon rose slowly from the In
closure in front of the grand stand. AS
it went higher it gained speed and 1t
was soon sailing high through the air
toward the eastern boundary of the
grounds.
SearchIight Follows Him.
The big searchlight followed him and
he was in sight of thousands of per-
sons gathered on the grounds. Higher
and higher he went until just outside
the grounds but still in plain sight Of
the thousands, he was seen to begin
preparations for the descent. The light
still played upon him.
Suddenly he was seen to drop from
the balloon. The operator Of the
serchlight tried in vain to play its rays
upon him. Up and down the swift
moving light sped, but the unfortunate
man fell straight down 400 feet to
what seemed almost certain death.
At first the crowd did not realize
what had happened. When the real-
zation came minute later an excla-
nation of horror went UP from thou
sands Of throats.
Assistance Soon Arrives.
Swift-footed tracers, who had been
following the course5 of the balloon,
reached the man a few minutes after
he had fallen to the earth. 1t was
found that his left leg was broken be-
low the knee. His right leg was also
shattered and he was unconscious,
Those presentrdid all they could for
his immediate relief and an ambulance
was called. He was taken to St. Jo-
seph's hospital. It was found there
that he was injured internally, but it
was not thought by the attending ply
sicians that his fall would prove fatal.
Hoffman, who is twenty-five years
old, came here from New York. He
is a professional aeronaut and has been
in the business about ten years. He
has been boarding at 40 West Ninth
street.

Yesterday was Farmers day at the
1air, and the attendance broke all pre-
y Vious records, over $4,000 persons pass
ing through the gates between 9 a. m.
and99 9 p. m.
This beats all previous records in
point of attendance by over 5000, the
largest previous attendance being 43,-

There was a cold northwest wind

ed in the large tent which has been
erected especially for this purpose and
the seats in the tents were packed with
people all day, while hundreds tested
the standing capacity of the big can
vas.
Interest in Herds.
The principal interest centered in the
showing of the Hereford and Shorthorn
cattle. The judges were unable to COM
plete the awards in either breed and
this will be continued today.
During the afternoon the sale under
the auspices of the Hereford associa-
ued. Thirty-sev head Of this breed
were sold yesterday, Of which twenty
four will remain in Minnesota. The
sales Tuesday and yesterday included
sixty-three head and the average price
was 1920. The officials of the associa-
ton say that there has been an in
crease in the sales each year for the
past three years. In 1890 the average
price was $169, and last year 1t was
$1S7.
The increased attendance at the fair
for the first three days Of the week has
been so great that the managers of
the agricultural society are already
planning for numerous improvements
for next year.
May Erect Manufacturers Building.
PRESIDENT COSgrOVe ana the OCner OF
ficials, while inclined to be optimistic,
did not really expect the record break
ing attendance which the official re-
ports show.
"Just think Of the first three days of
the fair this year beating the first three
days of last year over $4,000 in point
of attendance. 1t is perfectly surpris-
ing If the last half of the week only
holds up we will be in a position to
make a number OF improvements in the
way Of new buildings.
1.-THE manufacturers have been de-
nlanding for years that a building sup
piled with power be erected on the
grounds, and perhaps we may be able
to do something with this proposition.
The superintendents of all the depart
ments are also clamoring for more
buildings. While 1t is impossible to
build all we need, the outlook is that
we shall be able to do something ex-
tensive in the way Of improvements.
All depends on how the attendance
holds out for the balance of the week."
