YOUNG KID FARMER

Will Forsake Peoria for

Young Kid Farmer, well known tC
tri-city fight fans. has changed his so
briquet again. When the original Kil
Farmer got out of the penitentiary and
resumed the game, the Peoria lad tried
to make a go of it under his lawful
name, Harry Tibbetts, but he couldn't
get away with it. Now he has adopted
Barry Lyndon The Peoria Journal
says of the transition:
Young Kid Farmer is no more
Peacefully and surrounded by intimate
friends the famous fighter passed

it is expected the telegraphs will be

Nor is this ALL Jim Kenny, known
throughout the broad land as a pro-
moter of ringed events, is his manager
and it is announced in a short while
operations will begin. Unfortunately,
Peoria is to lose its valiant scrapper,
for it is said Hot Springs, Ark, is to
be the scene of operations
''All this will prove hot news for the
fans, and as one they will rise up and
wish the pair the best kind of luck,

IL LLINOISANS OF WASHINGTON IN
MOVE TO BOOM COMING EXPOSITION

1909 and will extend cordial welcome
to all from the Sucker state who visi
Seattle during the fair, and before the
fair. 1t is planned that there shall be
down town headquarters. where fellow
Suckers may get together, and where
there will be a register, and likewise
lists of names and addresses, SO thai
one coming west may have no Difficult
ty in locating those who have preceded
him a few months or years.
The AlaSka-Y Yukon- Pacific exposition
S10,000,000 enterprise, is to be held
for the purpose of exploiting the re
sources of the hitherto little known
Northland-Alaska and the Yukon terri
tory
Alaska has come to occupy of late 3
conspicuous position in national af
fairs, and its resources make it worthy
of more consideration than hitherto il
has been accorded. The country cost
the United States $7,200,000, and it has
added to the federal treasury nearly
$11 100000. When the cost of maintain
ing the territory is considered it is still
evident that Uncle Sam is ahead 81,
0UU,VOU on the deal.
The exposition will bring the shores
of the Pacific together in trade. Mora
than half of the people of the world
live in the Orient and the countries OF
western America, both north and south
which border ON the Pacific. These
countries have total foreign trade OF
three and three-quarters billions dol.
lars annually, of which the United
States enjoys only 10 per cent. 1t is
believed that if American merchants
went after the business properly. this
percentage easily might be increased
to so: The exposition will bring buyer
and seller together through the medi-
um of intelligent representation by ex-
hibits, to their mutual advantage. This
one accomplishment will be worth
many times the cost of the fair. 80, :
Seattle. where the fair of 1909 is to
be held, has a superb location on Pu-
get sound, an arm of the sea by which
the greatest ships in the world reach
its miles of wharves, while the country
back of it is adapted to every sort of
agriculture, and has 1000, 900 900 feet
of standing timber.
The Illinois society as now organized
came into being in October. Regular
meetings, which have been well at
tended, are held on the last Thursday
OF each month. The officers of the So
ciety are men prominent in the bust
ness life of Seattle. They are: Presi-
dent. Judge r. A. Ballinger. formerly
mayor of Seattle; vice president, ]. w.
Langley. a prominent attorney; finan-
cial secretary, E. w. Bell; correspond
ing secretary. M. ]. Loveless; record
ing secretary. o. L. Willett; treasurer.

ESPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF
THE -ARGUS.l

1
THE -ARGUS.l
Seattle, Dec. 1S.-Former residents
| of Illinois, now in voluntary exile in
Washington, have formed in Seattle
the Illinois Club of Washington, with
a membership of more than 400. The
society is unique in it's organization
and purposes.
| The United States census shows that
there are more than 5000 natives of
Illinois who now call Washington home
The number is larger than that of any
other state in the union, which seems
rather remarkable in view of the ex-
cellent country which these people left
| to come west.
A large proportion of the Illinoisans
| in Washington came from Chicago, be-
ing attracted by the hustle and hustle
of Seattle, city which is like Chicago
in many ways, and which may some
day rival it in size. Seattle has now,
with its suburbs, which soon will be
annexed, 100000 inhabitants.
The Illinois club has set out to erect

part of which will be used as the site
of the Alaska Yukon-Pacific exposition,
which is to be held in Seattle in

which adorns Lincoln park, Chicago.
The movement was started by Edmund

the University of Washington, and en-

Meany, C. r. Hawkins, Lyman Wood,

nominated Mr.. Lincoln for the presi-

Daughters of the American Revolution.
