NO DISAPPOINTMENT.
ALASKA YUKON. PACIFIC EXPOSE.
TON TO BE HELD IN 1909,
AS At FIRST PROPOSED.
Decision of Executive Committee to
This Effect Was Unanimous-con-
tract Let for Construction Of AgricuI-
tural Building-vice-President Nc
Graw Wires Congress Will FavorabIy
Consider Appropriation.

The Alaska YukOn-Pac1nc EXPOSITION
will be held at the time and place
planned. Any doubt In the public mind
that the 1909 fair would be opened at
the appointed time was dispelled when
the executive committee met recently.
After unanimously passing resOlu-
ton that there would be no postpone
ment, the committee proceeded with
letting a contract for the erection of
the agricultural building, to cost $751;
$50 The resolution was introduced
by e. C.. Hughes.
Those present at the committee
meeting were: ]. E. Chilberg, presi-
dent; l. A. Nadeau, director general;
|C. j. Smith, E. c.. Hughes, George
Boole, ]. w. elise, Will H. Parry, A. s..
Kerry and J. S. Goldsmith. The reso-
luton follows:
TT is the unanimous sense of the
members of the executive committee
that the Alaska ukon-Paci exposi-
ton be held at the place and time
hitherto planned-Seattle, U. S. A.,
from June to October Is, 1909"
The committee announced after the
meeting that there was plenty of
money on hand and that money for
took was coming in all the time. There
is absolutely no reason, they say, why
the fair should not be held as planned
from the beginning.
Work Progressing.
Work on the grounds and buildings
is going forward rapidly. H. Chase &
Co., of Seattle, who secured the con-
tract for the erection of the agricul-
tural building, will begin work at
once. Good progress has been made
on the manufactures building. The
contractors, Strenlow, Freeze & Peter
son, have more than 100 men en-
ployed. The uprights for the frame
are nearly all in place and the flooring
has been laid. Work has begun on
the emergency hospital and the basin
for Cascade court is fast getting into
shane.
vice-President J. H. McGraw, whoeis
in Washington, D. c., wired that con-
gress is looking with favor upon the
exposition and that the appropriation
bill will soon come up for considera-
ton, with assurance that it will be
favorably reported.
Henry E. Reed, director of exploita-
ton, who is also in Washington work
ing in the interest of the exposition,
wired Director General Nadeau to re-
serve all of the ground already allot-
ted to Uncle Sam by the management
and considerable more space. This
means, according to exposition off,
Gals, that the treasury department is
preparing its plans for the buildings
it will have to erect under the condi-
lions of the bill which has been intro
duced in congress.

MEMORIAL DEDICATED.

Communion Table, Chairs and Choir
Stalls Presented the First Church.
The Rev. William Russell Bennett
chose for the text of his sermon at the
First Presbyterian church ON Sunday
morning the words of the Psalmist
{" Strength and Beauty are in Thy
Sanctuary" the occasion being the
dedication of a memorial to the late
Aurelius B. Hull.
After the sermon were held the de-
dicatorg. services. The pastor paid a
tribute to Mr.. Hull, who was for
many years the. treasurer of the church
and was active not only in its temper
al but its spiritual life. Mr.. Hull, he
added, had an unusual knowledge OF
|hymnology, which was made valuable
to the church, and the memorial is
hitting and appropriate to him, for it
enters into the worship Of the church.
The memorial includes choir stalls,
communion table and chairs. The
stalls have been placed at each side of
the pulpit and present a pleasing APP
pearance. The communion table is a
beautiful piece of furniture. On the
top is broad border carving, embracing
a design of grapes and grape leaves. On
the front are three circles in the cen
ter one being communion cup and
the two sides ones bearing a cross.
The symbols are surrounded with
grapes and leaves donein cen carving,
ca either end is a circle bearing a
cross and grapes and grape leaves.
The memorial was presented to the
church by the sons of the late Mr..
Hull, Harrie T. Hull and Charles A.
Hull.
BY this addition to the pulpit furni-
ture it was necessary to change the
location of the baptismal fount from
the left side of the pulpit TO the right
hand side.
