Fortunate indeed will be the twelve

inaugurated by the Los Angeles Herald
for the most popular schoolma'rms.
An even dozen of the faithful young
women will be treated to a two weeks
stay at the Alaska Yukon-Pacific eX-
position at Seattle-the reward of their
popularity.
This $1O,O00,0O0 enterprise to exploit
the wonders and progress of the Ameri-
can Pacific coast will bring ito the north
west travellers from all over the world.
California, through her state building,
will be widely advertised, too.
No expense is connected with the trip
for the winning participants, transpor-
tation, hotel accommodations and ad-
missions to attractions being included
in the reward.
CALIFORNIA; Palace Attracts
Californias beautiful exhibit palace
on the grounds of the exposition is
under roof and ready to receive its in
terror furnishings.
All that remains to be done is the ex-
terror staff work which will take sew
eral months to put in place, but which
will not interfere with the interior
work.
The large plot of ground about the
building will be graded this winter,
grass seed sown and trees set out, the
gardeners then waiting until about
March Is before setting out the flowers
and ornamental Shrubbery.
California, by her prompt work, is the
second state to have her building ready
The great California exhibit will be a
distinct feature of the 1909 fair and one
that will attract as much attention as
any display on the grounds.
Mecca for Visitors
The reason for this is apparent. In
the first place, the California building
occupies a most prominent place, being
located at the head of Pacific avenue,
diagnonally facing Dome Circle and
directly opposite the Chicago building
and next to the Forestry building.
After crossing at the top of the Court
of Honor and just beyond the great
government buildings. the California
building is the first to catch the eye.
Everybody will see it, and being direct
ly on the main line of travel it will be
a Mecca for every exposition visitor.
The magic sound of California" is
sufficient to draw every visitor within
it's welcoming portals.
