The Alaska Yukon Exposition executive

The Alaska Yukon Exposition executive
committee has gone on record as not intend
ING to ask the Federal government for a sim
gle dollar in the shape Of help to promote the
exposition and the only money that it will
expect will be the $1,175O00 for which
bill will be introduced in Congress as soon
as it assemblies in order that the government
may have Alaska and her insular posses.
sions properly represented at the exposition.
With that amount Of money given to the eX-
position the promoters ought to have almost
enough money to not even want to hold the
exposition at ALL The promoters ought to
feel almost as did the old clay eater down III
Arkansas that wrote to a St. Louis firm for
prices on a saw mill outfit. By return mail
he was told that the firm could and would
set him up a plant all in good running order
for $500 TO this proposal, however, the
company got no reply one way or the other,
and firing Of waiting for the clay eater to
reply wrote again calling his attention to the
fact that the firm had made splendid pro
posal to him and was at loss to know why
he did not reply. TO that letter written on
the back of the one sent him was this bnef
answer: "Why you gosh dearn fool, II had
$500 what in the deuce do you thnK |
would want to fool with saw mill Tor
Coming from Arkansas the old fellow afgu'
ment was convincing and the matter was
dr0pped. 1t is gratifying, however, 10 know

those directing the exposition project
