NJ UGH ATTENTION will be paid
wi by the management of the
Alaska Yukon-Pacific Exposition
which will be held at Seattle from
June to October Is, 1909, to exhibits
of agriculture, horticulture and live
stock. Realizing the growing import
ance of the industries the division of
exhibits under Director Henry E.
Dosch will make ample provision for
extensive installation of displays I'M
der these classifications.
One of the two largest and most pre-
tentious exhibit palaces on the exposi-
ton grounds will be devoted to agri-
culture and horticulture. The build
ing, which is now completed, fronts on
the circle surrounding the Geyser
Fountain Basin, which will be one of
the main water features of the EXPOSE
ton. Being in the main picture, it
will be easy of access for all exposi-
ton visitors. Across the Court of
Honor from the Agriculture Building
stands the big Manufactures Palace, a
twin structure. The Agriculture
Building is imposing in design, being
a modern adaptation of the classic
style of architecture, as far as modern
usage permits. On it's main facade is
a colonnade of huge columns, support
ing pergola effect adorned with
plants and vines. At each corner of
the building is large dome. The staff
decorations are in the form of gar
lands of fruits, flowers, plants, vege-
tables and grains.
The Agriculture Building is $50 by
$50 feet in size and contains nearly
$1,000 square feet of exhibit space,
with plenty of additional room for
aisles This palace, which cost $780,
900, will contain all exhibits of agri
culture, horticulture and irrigation.
This latter exhibit will be assigned a
large amount of space, as it is thought
that it will be of great help to those
interested in the subject of how the
arid lands of the West are being re-
deemed and made useful.
1t Is the intention of the manage
ment to have the agricultural and
horticultural exhibits cover all pro-
ducts coming from the soil; tools, i'm
plements. methods of cultivation of
drainage, of harvesting; the hy-pro-
ducts and the manufactured forms of
these products; their preparation and
preservation, including everything edi-

AGRICULTURE AT THE1A-Y-P EXPOSITION

preparing to spend most of their ap-
preparations to show their agricultural
resources to the world. Some of the
big counties that have large appropria-
tons, like King, Spokane and Pierce,
are going to erect their own buildings
and house their exhibits therein. A
portion of the southern end of the Ag-
riculture Building is being reserved
by Director Bosch for the counties of
Eastern Washington, while part of
the northern end is being saved for
the Western Washington ones.
Nearly every other day another
county comes into line with it's appro-
priation and it is expected before long
that all thirty-seven will have made
provision for participation. One coun-
ty will not desire to see another get
ahead of it in taking advantage of the
opportunity offered by the Exposition
to exploit it's resources.
In addition to the county agricul-
tural displays, the State of Washing
ton, through its commission, will make
general exhibit, either in it's own
building or in the Palace of Agricul-
ture. The other participating states
will make their agricultural exhibits
in their own buildings, or, if they do
not erect any, in the Agriculture
Building. Many counties in Oregon,
California and other Western States
are also making provision for separate
displays in agriculture and other in
dustries
The Western States through their
agricultural and horticultural exhibits
intend to show in a comprehensive
manner the visitors from the East and
Middle West what this section of the
country can produce. In demonstrate
ing it's marvellous resources, advant-
ages and possibilities, the Pacific West
will open the eyes of the world and
win for itself much additional popula-
tion and capital.
The exposition committee on agri-
culture is composed of e. S. Blaine,
chairman; Arthur Gum and w. D.
Church.
1t is the plan of the exposition man
agement to make the live stock show
one of the greatest ever held. For this
purpose the executive committee has
appropriated 100000 to be awarded in
prizes. The show at the Lewis and

There are thirty-seven counties in the
State and If all of them appropriate
the full amount allowed, which it is
thought they will do, there will be the
sum of $276,536 to be expended in

ing more than fifteen counties have
made appropriations. amounting in all
to more than $1S0,000. The exposition

in growing fruits, vegetables and the

will be shown and exhibits of the

PICTURESQUE MAN
IN THE CITY TODAY

John NJ. Burke, United States, -
that was the interesting registration
that was to be noticed this morning
on the register at the st. Regis ho-
tel; but not half as interesting is
the registration as is the man who
wrote it.
Major John NJ. Burke, for forty
years an old and intimate acquaint-
ance of Buffalo Bill (William E. CO.
dy), the famous scout and westerner.
for thirty years one of the principal
officials of the great Wild West ex-
hibition that has entertained and in
structed the people of a score of ma
tions and countries. one of the most
picturesque and genial men in the
world, arrived in Grand Junction last
night to see that everything is in
readiness for the engagement of the
big exhibition in Grand Junction one
week from yesterday.
Major Burke was most delightfu
caller at the Sentinel office this
morning. He is man among a
thousand to meet. He is a man of
striking and distinguished appear
ance and would attract more than
passing attention anywhere Major
Burke is a man of giant physique
and military bearing. He wears a
Mig black, broad-brim hat, a dark
suit with Prince Albert coat. His
nustache, almost in class by it
self. yet most becoming and hand
some, adds to the pleasing air and
appearance of originality about this
great, big. affable man.
A chat with Major Burke is rarer
in it's pleasures than the reading of
the most commendable and entertain
ing novel of the decade He knows
the history of William E. Cody, the
history of his great exhibition, as no
man, perhaps excepting Col. Cody

Europe and Asia than he.
Major Burke came west soon after
the war. or in the late part of 1865.
In 1869 he met Col. Cody and became
intimately acquainted with him, and
has been associated with him ever
since. He helped to organize the
Wild West exhibition and was its
first general manager. He is per-
haps Col. Cody's oldest and most in
innate friend
In telling of his relationship with
Col. Cody to The Sentinel this morn
ing. Major Burke said:
Il once told Bill that, if there
should be a sudden translation of
all people on this mundane sphere
to the Great Beyond and he (Buffa-
10 Bid should walk up to the pearly
gates. there would be one or just two
questions that the gatekeeper would
ask Col. Cody. He would ask is
Burke already on the ihside?' or
Where in the deuce is Burke?'
Incidents without end and accur-
ate in their details and truthfulness
concerning the early days of the west
of which days Major Burke can speak
from experience, having passed the
late COS, the '7Os and sos in the
North Platte and other sections of
the west, are stored in the memory
of this interesting man.
Again he is a man of broad per-
sonal knowledge and information,
and his wonderful travels and re-
markable acquaintanceship among
people of all nations and classes give
him an enviable prestige.
When asked by The Sentinel just
what his official capacity with the
Wild West exhibition is. Major
Burke replied:
"Oh, l am sent out to dispel pref
udice and educate the ignorant re-
garding the west that was and as
pictured in life by Col. Cody and
other men who really were factors
in the west that was
Major Burke is one of the few
honorary members of the famous
Friars of New York City, and he
prizes this as one of his best recon-
mendations. The other honorary
members of the Friars are Henry
Watterson. David Belasco. Augustus
Thomas, Daniel Frohman and Abra-
ham Erlanger.
Major Burke left the city at noon
for Salt Lake City. He had many
good words to say regarding the
prosperous appearance of Grand
Junction, declaring that it is one of
the best towns for it's size he ever
visited He also declared that he
was surprised to find such an excel
lent hotel as the st. Regis in city
of this size.
Major Burke stated that Buffalo
Bill visits few towns the size of
Grand Junction. but, in his ambition
to visit every part of America and

especially of the great west, he this
season decided to make some of the
smaller cities in Colorado and Utah
and other western states in order to

Major Burke declares that Grand
Junction will get the entire perform
ance just as presented at the open
ing in New York City. He urges
that the people of the city and val
ley watch the big exhibition unload
Sunday and view the hundreds of
fine horses. the finest in the world,
as they, are taken from the cars.
Major Burke has registered from

commenced to travel over the coun-
try with the exhibition. His home
is in New York
