SEATTLE EXPOSITION
TO Be NEW DEPARTURE
Everything to be IN Readiness
Before Opening Day.
This VIII be Radically Different from
Past Worlds Fairs Also Conduct
ed Without Government Aid.

Eight months from now, on the first
day of June 1909, the gates of the
Alaska Yukon Pacific Exposition at
Seattle Will be thrown open to the
public. For four months and half
the great Pacific Worlds Fair
will receive visitors from all parts of
the globe. If tbs visitor comes on the
last day, or in August or on the
opening day, he or she will find
thingC the same. 1t is the intention
of the officials OF this exposition to
break all exposition records, to es-
tablish precedent and have all com
plete and in readiness on the opening
day. The slogan of the enterprise is
just that: 'Ready-On the-Opening
day" The people of Seattle and the
Pacific Northwest are accustomed TO
doing things and they will do this
with characteristic promptness and
energy.
A month ago the gates of the ex-
position were closed to free admis-
sion. The day was celebrated by a
vast meeting of the stockholders
held ON the steps. of the huge
manufactures building. The director
general presented figures showing
that the exposition was more than
70 per cent complete and that the
remaining work was of such character
that it could be rushed to the final
state in q few months. To make
doubly sure the director of exhibits
Las instructed all exhibitors that
goods will be received any time
after March list of next year. and
that everything must be in place two
weeks before the official opening.
This certainly looks as If the promise
would be realized.
Three of the great permanent
buildings which will be turned over
to the University of Washington at
the end of the Fair are finished. A
fourth will be completed by January
LIST. The two main exhibit palaces,
the manufactures and agriculture
buildings have been finished for
several months. The mining palace
and the fisheries building, the hospital
and the fire station have been in use
for months. The power plant is
ready to start up. Oregon finished
her palatial building in September
and entertained the travelling pas
senger agents who met in Seattle
during that month. California, which
will have one of the largest Duild-
ings on the grounds, will announce
her building completed by January
1st. The Washington State build
ing. which will be permanent, is go
ing up rapidly. Contracts have

of the building side being behind.
How about the grounds is often
asked. The site of $50 acres of virgin
forest has been cleared, graded, roads
and paths laid out. The central
cascades and geyser basins almost
completed and it is expected that
water will be turned on the middle

man, by which it will be seen that
Taft received plurality over Bryan
of 1, 450 Davidson over Awkward of
1904 and Kopp over Murphy of 1877.
On the county ticket the figures are
yet partially incomplete. The vote
on county clerk, complete with the
exception of the towns of Cassville
and Smelser, give Tuffiey a plurality
of ST. over Brady. The pluralities
on the other candidates, when COM
plete. will probably range from these
figures up to 1900.
The value of the campaign
managers predictions. just before
the vote is taken, must always be re-
ceived with many grains of allow
ance. Last Saturday Chairman Mack,
of the national democratic committee,
announced that Bryan was sure to
win in New York, Connecticut, Idaho,
Montana. Illinois, Delaware, Mary
land. Indiana, Ohio, Kansas and
South Dakota, with good chances of
Wisconsin. The accuracy of his
predictions is apparent today when it
| is seen that he did, not carry one Of
them.

Bank Dynamited and $4,000 in
Cash Carried Away.

The bank at Danube, Renville

Fort Rdg!ey "reminiscences.

In communication to this paper
this week, Mr.. Pomroy has more of
interestst to tell about the building Of
Fort Ridgley. In the interests of
accuracy, The Gazette will add at
this time that it incorrectly stated
that the elder Pomroy, before en-
gaging inEthe work at Fort Ridgley,
had constructed the building at
Fort Sibley," where it should have
said Fort Ripley. and was also in
error in saying that the first saw
mill to be brought to this country
was brought from Belle PLANE Mr..
Pomroy intended to have us say that
it was brought overland from Fort
Dodge. Iowa. He writes Of two of
his fellow workmen:
1t would only be doing justice to
speak of two other men who shared
in the work of erecting the Fort
Ridgley buildings In the summer
of 1854 John Naurn and Alex Hume
came from Scotland to the fort ana
hired out at carpenter work. t.
April, 1865, we were all discharged.

gress was all spent before all of the
buildings were completed. MIR

penter at the lower Sioux Agency

goods from St.sPauI to the agencies

a storm between the two agencies,

toes amputated. In August, 1862,

a wife and three small children, two
of whom theyshad to carry. They
lived opposite the stone building and
went down the south side of the
river. After they had started Mr..
Naurn told his wife he thought they
were foolish to.leave everything be-
mind, just because that Incian had
told them of trouble, and turned
back and saw that the Indians were
iring into the store. Mr.. Hunter,
cripple, could not keep up with
hem. They met friendly Indian

Such is the fact situation with
which we have to deal. And the ques-
'tion to be answered on consideration
thereof is, simply, were the ballots so
protected and preserved as to retain
their original value as instruments of
evidence. 1t is not sought here to
convict any person of having tamper-
ed with the ballots. We need not
even find as matter of fact that they
were tempered with. II exposed to
unauthorized manipulation, the result
must be the same as though there was
proof of actual manipulation; in either
event the evident value thereof was
destroyed. Nor does it make any diff
ference whether the exposure took
place before or after the boxes reach
ed the office of the auditor. The sane
tlty of the ballot as an instrument of
evidence is the one subject of consid.
GRAFTON, and the consequences would
be as serious and hence as fatal in the
one case as In the other, The intent
of the law is not simply to guard the
ballots from the touch of persons gen
orally, but as against any unwarrant-
cd interference Herewith on the part
OF the officer or officers appointed to
bold the same in custody. And this
must be so, as otherwise it could
make no difference If the require
ment for preservation was wholly ig-
nored provided there was proof that
the possession of the ballots continued
uninterruptedly in the custody of the
officer appointed thereto. In the case
Of Jefferson township 1t is certain
that some force operated to remove
the ballots from the muslin sack and
TO break the seals. 1t matters not
who did It, or why. The fact remains
