The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1904-09-05
exhibit that were decidedly

the police exhibit that were decidedly
unpretty.
Col. Howard Hathaway. of Everett,
one of the democratic nominees for
congress from Washington. has been a
visitor at the Worlds fair. Colonel
Hathaway is firm in his convictions
that if the democratic majority in the
state this fall is just one hundreth
part as large as this show, he will be
supremacy happy.
Il am deeply impressed with it all.
said he to your correspondent. as he
looked over the Washington build
ing the other day, "and 1 am most i'm
pressed with the showing made by
| Washington. l had no idea the gooG
old state was making the impression
it is. Although l have been here but a
short time, and have not taken in the
show by any means, 1 have seen
enough to convince me that if every
merchant got as good returns from
money spent for advertising. as Wash
| ington is getting out of the money
spent here. every merchant would
grow independently rich. Criticise?
No stree! l have nothing to criticise;
there is nothing to criticise in Wash
| ington's exhibit. True it might have
been bigger because Washington is
so great in all her natural resources
that she could make the rest Of the
states look sick, but it seems to me for
the amount of money expended Wash
| ington shows up to far better advant-
age, and has far better exhibit all
around, than has any of the states that
have spent three times the money"
Why, l have just watched the
crowds surge in and out of this building
| and naturally Interested, have paid
made as they pass. l have not heard
a word from any one yet that would in
|
! both pleased and amazed at the show
| ing Washington has made
| No. thank YOU l will not discuss
! politics. Let's talk more about this
! show 1t certainly makes a hit with
me-" and with that the affable and
! courteous colonel from Everett burst
| into another eulogy of the greatest
show on earth"
| Washington is the only state at the
! fair that has attempted to show the
people how fish are Matched. A small
| hatchery has been installed in the For
/ estry. Fish and Game building under
| the direction of Fish Commissioner
kershaw. and under the management
and in the charge of Perry Baker, of
| BeIlingham, an expert fish man. Much
! trouble has been encountered in keep
/ ing it in continuous operation, how
/ ever. This is due both to bad water,
and to the fact that the water can not
| be maintained at a temperature sutti-
GENTLY low to successfully hatch sal
mon eggs When it is being operated.
! however, it is watched by large crowds
and it keeps at least two persons busy
! explaining to the people the manner
and method of Matching, and the deep
/ interest Washington takes in rearing
/ and protecting fish
/ Among the late visitors to the fair
from Washington VINO lave grown en-
/ ;husiastic over the whole show, and
hibit. are Mr.. and Mrs. B. F. WATSON
Of Everett, A. s. Cation of the Olympic
Mrs. Edward Smalls of Everett. Mr..
and Mrs. Smals have just returned
from an extensive visit to the CONT
! nent. and although they have visited
many of the celebrated points of in
terest in Europe come back to the fair
and here found more in day than
they found during the visit abroad.
| They expressed the utmost pleasure
of being even as near the state as the
Washington building here.
Rev. Austin Rice of Walla Walla
who paid the fair a short visit during
the past week, was more than pleased
with the showing made by his state.
