Alexander Swettenhanl, governor Of Ja-
anaica, EXPLAINING the incident with Rear

CONCRETE HOUSES
The building Material of the Future
and It's Advantages

AS to the character of building to be
adopted by the school board the follow
ing is apropos:
The advantages of concrete on the
mechanical side are these: 1t Is proof
against fire, wind and water, rats, in
sects and dry rot and the danger OF
electricity. 1t needs no painting or
repair. Fire or water overflow inside
can do only local damage to the con-
tents of room and no more.
1t becomes harder and stronger with
age, which is, of course, an advantage,
except when additions or alterations
are made involving hard work to cut
the walls and floors. There are no
leaky roofs, no damp or cold east or
north rooms There is great economy
of heating. Being a firm mass thru
out, like a house made of baked clay,
there is no vibration. and in case one
spot OF the foundation should be under
mined the we'll knit structure might
not show so much as a crack. 1t is
practically earthquake proof.
Concrete is healthy because it leaves
no assures for dust or for insects which
spread disease. 1t is cool in summer
and warm in winter, and with mini
mum of exertinn can be kept sweet and
clean. On the artistic side, as the
house beautiful, it lends itself to sculp-
ture and painting, and as an object on
the landscape it can be made joy to
the eyes.-Country Life In America.

IA bill appropriating 500, 900 for the
Alaska Yukon Pacific Exposition has
been introduced in the Minnesota legis-

commissioner to that state, reports that
conditions are favorable to its passage.
An Exposition Club has been organ
lied at Anacortes for the purpose of ad-
vertising Skagit county's resources at
the 1909 fair Many OF these clubs are
being formed in the different cities OF
the state.
William j. Bryan, in his speech be-
fore the Washington legislature re-
Gently, heartily endorsed the exposi-
ton and said it would be great bene-
fit to the Pacific Northwest.
Governor Hughes, of New York,
made favorable mention of the Alaska
Yukon-Pacific Exposition in his mes
sage to the legislature. 1t is expected
that New York will appropriate at
least $1,000 for the exposition.
Commissioners have been appointed
to visit all of the states holding legisla-
tive meetings this winter to induce
them to participate in the exposition
1t is estimated that at least 100000
persons from east of the Rockies will
visit the Alaska Yukon-P EXPOSE
ton in 1909. Each visitor will spend
on an average 300, which will make
$25, 600, 900 left in the. state of Washing
ton by these people alone.

The capital stock of the Alaska Yu-

$780, which made the total raised in
one day $650,0OO. The difference be-
tween the latter sum and the $500, 900
will be subscribed from time to time.

The benefits, direct and indirect,
that will accrue from the appropriation
of 81 100000 by the state OF Wash
ington to make the Alaska-Yukon-
Pacific Exposition success will be
material and everlasting. The direct
and substantial benefits to Washington
University and the state may be briefly
summarized as follows:
First, the permanent buildings for
the university to be erected by the
state, the value Of which will be $780,
900. Second, permanent improve
ments to the university campus in the
way Of paving, parking, water and sew
er systems, power plant, etc., which
the exposition will make at cost OF
100000, and which will become the
property of the university at the close
of the exposition. Third, the govern
ment of the United States will be ex-
pected to expend $4,000 for build
ings, which can be acquired at the
close of the exposition for small out
lay. Fourth, the participating states,
including the state of Washington, and
certain classes of exhibitors and con-
cessionaires, will erect buildings OF
their own, which will cost $500, 900 at
a very conservative estimate.
1t is pointed out by the exposition
management that all of the above may
be obtained for the university at the
close of the exposition, and that these
items represent direct and valuable
benefits to the university amounting to
the large sum Of $1,000, 900, all OF
which will be obtained for an invest
ment of 81, 100000.
The general results of the exposition
to the material welfare Of the Pacific
Coast and to the country at large are
considered of the highest importance.
Its aim is to exploit the potential re-
sources of western America, OF Alaska,
and OF Yukon, and to promote closer
trade relations between the United
States and Asia and Oceanica, and also
between this nation and the countries
Of North, Central and South America.
The accomplishment Of these objects
will mean the rapid development and
settlement OF the Pacific Northwest and
the state of Washington in particular.
1t is estimated that the exposition
will bring at least 100000 persons
from east OF the Rockies to the Pacific
Coast in 1909, which will make known
the resources OF Washington to the
homeseeker and investor. From sta
tistics based on former fairs each Wis
itor will spend 500 while in the state,
making a total expenditure by these
people alone OF $25, 900, 900.
