J. B. Wingate, the pioneer editor of the Yukon Valley, who conducted the Rampant Forum for many years, had a foot amputated last month at Fort Gib- bon, where he was taken for medical attention. He had been ill of pneu- monia for some time, and when he re- covered it was discovered that he was suffering of diseased bone. The ann putation was to rid him of the affected parts. His recovery is regarded as doubtful.

There is hardly person who, fasked in the right way, will refuse to con- tribute an item for the paper, if they have it in their possession. This brings back an early experience as reporter. We were sent out to get the facts of a fire at country residence. The maid appeared in response to rap at the door, and this was the conversations; "Excuse me, but, is the lady of the house at home?" "No," was the reply, "she's out" "Ah! are any of the fam ily at home?" "No, they are all out" "Well, wasn't there fire here last even- ing?" "Yes," said the girl, with smile, ..but that's out too."-Ex.

Fair Will be Ready on Time

Determined to have the Alaska-1u- kon-Pacifc Exposition, which will be held in Seattle in 1909, ready iu every detail for the opening day, June l, to overcome the unpleasant feature of un- preparedness that has characterized so many previous expositions, except the Lewis and Clark fair at Portland, the management has set ground breaking day as June l, next, and has pledged itself in a strong resolution to make the most of the two years intervening before the gates are opened.
 It is planned by the officials to make ground breaking day memorable one in the history of the Pacific Northwest and the Exposition Elaborate and i'm. pressive ceremonies will be held, at tended by governors of the states, mayors of cities and prominent men of the Pacific West, and representative of the President.
 Although much preliminary work has been done on the site, ground breaking day will mark the beginning of active work. The sum of S3S0,OOO has been set aside for the improvement of the grounds, which, bordering upon Lake Union and Lake Washington, two large fresh water bodies, with the Olym- pic and Cascade mountains with their snow peaks in plain view, are the most beautiful ever utilized for an eXposi tion. The sum to be expended upon the buildings will be determined upon later.
 The resolution passed by the execu tive committee is as follows;
 "It is hereby declared to be the sense of the management of the Alaska-Yu kon-Pacifjc Exposition that the expo sition shall be opened promptly or time at the date fixed (June ], 1909, and that at the date of the opening il shall be complete in every department and that all departments of the expo sition shall put forth their earnest en deavors to achieve this result.
 Exhibitors and concessionaires shal be advised of this resolution when ar engagements are closed with them, anr they shall be urged to cooperate witl the management to make effective tn letter and spirit of this resolution"
 The matter of low railroad rates t' the Pacific coast during the exposition has already been taken up with tn Transcontinental Passenger Associa tion which has assured the manage ment of it's cooperation.

the boils get as large as big

ASK FOR RiPLINGER

SEATTLE, Nov. John Rip
linger, defaulting eX-city comp
troller, now an exile in Honduras,
may soon be called upon to face
the charge of embezzlement
brought against him by the city of
Seattle.
Secretary of State Elihu Root,
acting through a United States
minister to be sent to the capital
at Honduras next month. will for
mally ask for the surrender of the
fugitive.
This is the information brought
to Seattle by City Treasurer George
Russell, who has returned from
New York and Washington, where
he went on combined city and pri-
vate business.
Mr.. Russell had a personal talk
with Secretary Root, and was as
sured that one of the first requests
of the minister to Honduras will
be for the return of Riplinger The
authorities believe the request will
be granted in spite of the fact that
there is no extradition treaty with
Honduras
