States signal corps in Seattle that the
installation of wireless stations at the
above named places has been ordered
by the government, and the equipment
for the stations, consisting of dynamos,
instruments and poles, has already
been shipped from the east.
The stations to be erected at Wran-
CELL and Petersberg are links in chain
OF wireless depots which will in short
time cover all parts of Alaska Already
the United States government lie cover
ing more inland territory by wireless
than any other nation in the world,
and when the entire number of stations
proposed for Alaska are completed,
Uncle Sam will boast the greatest num-
Der of stations on the globe.

JACK LoNDoN's NEW BOOK.

Jack London has just written a book
of $4,000 words entitled Martin Eden"
THE PACIFIC MONTHLY has pur-
chased for 81 1000 the serial rights for
this vivid story. 1t began in the Sep
TENDER number of THE PACIFIC MON
THLY aud will run for twelve months.
"Martin Eden" is character study
the story of a fghter-a fighter as a
newsboy in the alleys OF San Francisco;
fighter as rowdy in slums; and
tinally, fighter for education and Gull
ture, struggling against the odds of
common birth and vulgar environment,
with a desperation of courage that pre-
sents powerful blending of brutality
of strength with sublimity of purpose
His inspiration is a woman of the
higher sphere Of life. but his motive is
the mighty impulse that animates a soul
and brain born to expand until fetter-
ing ignorance is sundered and igncble
influence is trampeled under foot.
1t is not too much to say of martin
Eden" that it possesses more of fascina-
ton and virility, grips the imagination
and the eympathies more keenly, and
imparts more of courage, than any book
produced in years.

AIaska- Yukon-Pacific
Exposition.

Ane SAFE OF S50U,OOO worth of exposi-
ton bonds has removed the last OBJ
stacle to the success of-th Alaska Yu-
kon-PacItic Exposition aud it Is now
certain that the 1909 fair will have the
distinction Of being the first big expo
sition to be entirely completed in time
for the opening date. The progress
that lie being made on the construction
of the buildings and grounds is guar
antee that 10 detail will be left unfn-
ished when the faiT is formally opened
June l, 1909.
When it was announced that an adj
ditional sS5O,OOO was required to carry
on the work outlined by the exposition
management the people of Seattle re-
sponded promptly to the call for funds
and the entire amount was subscribed
within week after the actual canvass
was commenced. With this additional
fund on hand the management of the
exposition took immedate steps to en-
large the scope of construction.
Already three of the permanent
buildings are finished and are ready to
be turned over to the University of
Washington at the close of the fair. By
the first of the new year the fourth per
manent building will be completed and
a number of the temporary structures
finished. The mining palace and the
fisheries building and the hospital aud
fire station are in use and the Oregon
building, the first state building to be
completed, is ready to receive exhibits
Oregon will begin the shipment Of its
exhibit about January L. The first con-
signment will be 5000 boxes of apples,
which will be placed 10 the cold storage
plant, in the basement of the Oregon

on the construction of the California
state building, and this structure will
be completed not later than January /.
Work has been commenced on the
Washington state building, which is to
be one of the permanent structures to
be turned over to the University at the
close of the fair.
The plans for the United States gov
eminent building have been approved
and the contract for the construction
will be awarded in about ten days.
Work on the grounds is in excellent
shape. The site of $50 acres has been
entirely cleared and graded and roads
and paths laid ont. Acres of green
lawns give refreshing appearance and
the mild climate Of Puget Sound will
~
make it possible to transplant great
many of the more hardy flowers during
the winter months. There are in all
about million plants in the green
houses and when these are set out and
in bloom the grounds v i'll be a veritabIe
mass of beautiful flowers, clinging vines
and green shrubbery.
