FAIR WILL Be
HELD IN 1909.
Especial Correspondence.

Seattle, Jan. 29.-Owing to a
slight rumor that the Alaska Yu
kon-Pacific Exposition is going to be
postponed caused by the recent fl
nancial furry, the executive commit
tee of the 1909 fair has passed the
following resolution: 1T is the una
nimous sense of the members of the
executive committee that the Alaska
Yukon-Pacific Exposition be held at
the place and time hitherto planned
Seattle, U. S. A., from June l to
October 15, 1909."
The contract for another large ex.
hibit palace, the Agricultural build
ing, has been let for $S1,830. Six
of the main buildings will soon be
well under way. The Manufactures
building is progressing rapidly.
The executive committee announce
that there is plenty of money on
hand with which to carry on the
work, and that money for stock is
coming in all the time.
Word received from Washington.
D. c., from Vice-President John II.
McGraw, Director of Exploitation H.
E. Reed, indicates that Congress
IS looking with favor on the
exposition. The appropriation bill
will soon. come up for consideration.
The government has asked for more
ground space than was originally al
lotted to it.
The management of the exposition
has secured the services of Col. H.
E. Dosch, of Portland, Oregon, as
director of the division of exhibits
The exhibits department is being or
'ganized and prospective exhibitors
can now receive in formation in re-
gard to space by applying to Colonel
Dosch, Already many large firms
throughout the country have applied
for space.
Col. Dosch represented the State
of Oregon as commissioner at New
Orleans, Chicago, Omaha, Buffalo,
Charlestown and at the Fifth Inter-
national Exhibition held at Osaka,
Japan, in 1903, he was commissioner
from the State of Oregon and Lewis
and Clark Exposition. The directors
of the Japanese exposition recogniz-
ed Col. Dosch's ability as an Eek
positionist." and placed him n
charge of all foreign exhibits. His
services were recognized by the en-
peror of Japan, who decorated him
with the medal of the Chevalier of
the Sacre Treasure. Col. Dosch was
also given a diploma of merit for
his services at the Osaka Exposition
It bears the signature of the Mikado
and the royal seal.

Once Prominent Minister Now on

pital Seattle.

Seattle, Jan. 2S.-A physical
wreck, his memory almost a blank
as result of the use of liquor, the
Rev. w. j. Thompson, DID,, LID.
at one time one of the most distin-
guished divines in all Scotland, lies
in besotted condition at the Way

of forsaken, homeless and penniless
human derelicts.
Twenty years ago, according to
papers found on his person, Thomp-
son stood high in the Presbyterian
church late in the Church OF Eeig-
land and later in the Methodist
Episcopal church. How he reached
Seattle or how he fell from a place
of influence and position to the gut
ter is not known. He has no friends
here, but is an abandoned, broken
down old man. To all inquiries as
to how it happened he replies with
a broad Scottish accent: Its the
whuskey; the terrible whuskey!"

CONTRACT MAY
Be RESCiNDED

The Farmers Telephone is prepar-
ing to protect itself in the way of
central girls and desires to enlist the
services of girls who will agree not
to marry within a year from the
time they begin work. One girl has
just gone to work to take the place
of Miss Rua Kaple, who was the
last one of the many who have mar
ried within the past year.
''It is of no use for the boys to
waste their time over here" said
Secretary Littlefield this morning.
Attorneys in the city, however,
state that contract in restraint of
marriage has been decided by the
courts to be against public policy,
and therefore cannot be carried out,
provided the girls wish to rescind.
In face of the above facts the tele-
phone company will probably con-
tinue to lose their girls.

GOOD LAND
IS OPEN

c. B. Simmons of the forestry de-
partment, with headquarters in We
natchee, has given out the following
interview to a Spokesman-Review re-
porter in Ellensburg:
A misunderstanding of the forest
reserve laws is the cause of much
agricultural lands within the Wenat-
chez reserve lying vacant, according
to c. B. Simmons, chief ranger of the
Kittitas division of the Wenatchee re-
serve, during which he Investigated
charges of trespassing by lumbermen:
THE people have been misinform-
ed about the rules governing the for
est reserves" said Mr. Simmons.
''Thy do not understand that they
may settle on anyof the agricultural
land within the reserve. There are
some of the finest hay, wheat and
stock raising lands in the Icicle
country that l have seen in this
state. and yet it is not being taken
up as rapidly as it should"
Mr.. Simmons said that bugs of
some variety are killing the pine
trees in the reserve, and an expert
has been directed to the Wenatchee
reserve from Washington to investi-
gate and take preventive measures
that in the spring work would start
on a system of trails in the reserve.
The Wenatchee reserve is now one
of the most difficult to traverse, there
being but few trails. The proposed

work will take in about $50 miles of

THE new
WALL Street
Fire of Public Opinion Started by
Roosevelt Makes Great Change.
- Change.-List of Crimes.

Chicago, Jan. 27.-Wiring from
New York to the Record-Herald
Walter Wellman says in part:
Publication by fire, shrinkage by
elimination of dross, regeneration in
remorse-this is a fair characteriZa-
tion of the new, the revolutionizad
the minimized Wall street.
The fire has come rapidly without,
in the form of public opinion, in the
moral upflft which the whole coun-
try has felt under the leadership of
President Roosevelt. 1t has come
from within, in the form Of discov-
cry of cancers and tumors, which
must be cut out if the patie1. IS to
live How much of the credit for
the new and better order of things
is due to one influence, how much to
the other, | am unable to say.
Probably Wall street would never
have realized how bad it was and
how much in need of a surgeon if
the country had not first made the
discovery. Probably also, Wall street
would have paid little heed to the
country's condemnatory warning but
for the discovery that New York was
losing ground, losing confidence, los
ing influence. losing power, losing
money, through it's own wrong-doing.
Vice is never repentent in prosperity.
Certain it is that last Autumn s
crisis precipitated and effected the
revolution. When New York began
to look into itself it was appalled, at
what it found. AS soon as introspec-
tion began. remorse and penitence
and good resolutions sprang into life.
1t was a lucky thing for New York
for the whole country, that there
was a John Pierpont Morgan here
the day the storm came. What he
did and how he did it all the world
knows in part. The full story has
never been written, cannot be writ
ten In short, to use the language
of one who was an actor in the dra-
ma, Mr.. Morgan showed himself 20
be one of the few really great men
this country has produced. There
was not another man in the country
who could have met the crisis as he
met it. He took a crowd of panic
stricken, selfiesh, mortal coward f.
nanciers by the throat, shook them
as a terrier shakes a rat, banged
their heads together and made them
he decent by sheer force of his viii
and his commanding personality.
