NOTES OF THE NORTHWEST

Seattle, March 1O-Old timers who
have followed in the wake of expo
sitions for the past thirty years and
who have studied conditions that fol-
low in an exposition city will tell you
that every city and hamlet in the
state of Washington will benefit just
as much if not more than Seattle as
a result of the coming Alaska Yukon
Pacific exposition.
Take this from me-" said an old
exposition man to a local reporter,
1.-The people who attend expositions
are not looking for homes in the city
where the exposition is held School
teachers, farmers, immigrants and
homeseekers may be depended upon
to attend expositions held in the
west Such people do not locate in
the large city. They want an acre
or two of ground in the suburbs or
the farming districts, or in some
small but pretty town close to the
big commercial centers. They have
had all they want of the big city, and
are tired of it; they want to join
hands with the small community.
The exposition people are now be-
who expect to come to the exposition
this summer, and you may count up
on it that the northwest will have
as many guests this summer as it can
conveniently handle. They are COM
ing by the hundreds from the mid
die west and they expect to remain
in the country until they have thor
oughly explored it. Lots of them will
never go back, others will return only
to prepare to move west for good.
The feeling is general in Seattle
that fruit lands and logged off lands
are going to come in for more than
their share of recognition from the
visitors to the exposition. Every
dealer in these two classes of prop
erty is preparing to do a land Office
business.
Dispatches from Washington city
indicate that President Taft will set
tie the new federal judgeship in this
state to suit himself and <4t he will
mot give much consideration to the
recommendations of the senators
from this state unless said recon-
meniations meet his hearty approval.
President Taft was member of the
federal bench for many years and
he proposes to see that the judiciary
under his administration is of the
highest type. He has half a dozen
! lawyers in his cabinet, and he will
lay all matters pertaining to federal
judgeships before them. No man
will be appointed to the bench I'M
less he can pass muster, and he will
have to approach high standard in
order to come off with any honors.
This is in substance the news that
comes from Washington. Walter
Clark, correspondent of the Post-In-
telligencer at the national capitol,
sends it, and it may therefore be re-
garded as reliable.
The presence in Seattle of one of
the members of the rich Guggenheim
family has caused a little furry in
business and social circles NJ. Rob-
ert Guggenheim is his name, and he
is one Of the famous family that has
a corner on the copper of the world.
Young Mr.. Guggenheim is bringing
additional fame to the family by ar
ranging to pay the expenses of an
automobile race across the continent
next summer, the race to start at
New York and finish at the A.-Y.-P.
exposition grounds. It is said the
expense of this race will be about
$4,000 and Mr.. Guggenheim has
said that he will pay for it all. AS
the family is supposed to be worth
about 100000 this expense will
not put any crimp in the family for
tune.
