PREDICTS SUCCESS
FOR SEATTLE FAIR
BOOSTERS OF EXPOSITION
ARE ACTIVE
No Opportunity Is Missed by Washing
tonians to Advertise Possibilities
of Exhibition of Resources
of Coast

Mayor J. M. Miller of Seattle is on,
of the most enthusiastic Of the 49,
boosters" of the Alaska Yukon Pacific
exposition who are visiting the princi
pal cities of California with the idea o.
booming the exposition, which opens al
Sc title in June.
Mayor Miller believes firmly in adver.
| Using and does not intend to let any
grass grow under his feet from now I'M
| til June /: and If the word Seattle ant
its significant meaning is not known tc
every one in the United States by June
it will be no fault of the mayors.
Mayor Miller, who with his wife was
at the Angelus during their stay in Los
Angeles. in speaking to a Herald re-
porter last night of the exposition said:
I'VE are meeting with the heartiest CO.
operation in Washington and all the
coast states, and from present indica-
lions the exposition will be success,
with a capital S. Every city in Wash
ington takes a state pride in the big
exposition and we intend to make the
exposition the biggest thing of its kind
ever held on the coast, and also to sur
pass previous expositions in eastern
cities.
AN idea of the interest taken in the
exposition can be seen when more than
100 business men of Seattle and neigh
boring cities left their business that
they might make this combined educa-
tional and advertising trip. We want
to have every Californian who possibly
can do so to visit the exposition. Cali
fornia has a building for exhibits that
is not excelled by any state and the
hearty cooperation of the people of
California has been an inspiration to us.
Lauds Los Angeles
were indeed fortunate to arrange the
itinerary so that we might stay in Los
Angeles Sunday. We have taken adj
vantage of the day to view Los Ange-
les and the trip today on the so-called
inside track gave us an excellent
chance to view the beauties of the SUI
burban cities and towns. We deeply
appreciate the courtesies of the Los
Angeles chamber of commerce and our
only hope is that we may have the OPP
portunity to return the compliment.
I'VE feel that the trip has accom-
plished all and more than we antici-
pated and from now on our efforts
will be to have everything in readiness
for the opening day of the exposition"
Yesterday the members of the Seattle
boosters made a flying trip on the in
side track of the Southern Pacific and
this morning the party will leave for
San Diego, where a stay of two days
will be made.
Owing to the fact that there was
some difficulty in getting proper ac-
in San Diego, 1. A. Ma
deau, general director of the exposition.
and C. B. Yandell, secretary of the Sc
attic Commercial club, and a few others
Of the party went to San Diego yester
day afternoon to straighten out the
difficulty and have all accommodations
secured when the main party arrives.
The party will return to Los Angeles
and visit Catalina and on the return to
Los Angeles the party as a whole will
break up, the return home to be made
as suits the pleasure of the different
members of the party.

Well Known San Francisco Customs
Broker Visits City on Tour of
Inspection

Joseph L. Bley. one of the best known
customs brokers of San Francisco. is
in Los Angeles checking up on the
business done in the importing of raw
materials preparatory to representing
the interests of San Francisco import
ers in tariff legislation at Washington.
our object is to avoid in any way
conflicting with the importers of Los
Angeles" said Mr.. Bley last night. 1--WE
desire to promote their business par
ticularly in keeping raw materials on
the free list and thereby encouraging
Pacific coast manufacturing; but in
taking this up we do not want to run
counter to any Los Angeles firms. For
that reason l am passing a couple of
days here before going on to Washing
ton. We have checked up in the same
way at Portland and Seattle, as the
matter is of general Importance to the
Pacific coast.
"The business at San Francisco runs
into fifteen or twenty million dollars
annually on the importation of raw
materials, and is the most important
end of importing"

conducted along this line quarters
gave a yield of seven bushels to the
acre more than two eye pieces and fif-
teen bushels more than one eye pieces.
The seed potatoes should be kept in
dark place until planting time to
keep them from sprouting as much as
possible New sprouts will grow if
the old ones are broken off, but they
will not be as strong. If the seed is
at all scabby 1t should be treated be-
fore planting. This is done by soak
ing the tubers for two hours in solu-
ton of one pound of formalin to forty
gallons of water Afterward the po
tatoes should be spread out to dry
and then cut The cutting should not
be done until just before planting, as
otherwise they will shrivel and lose
some of their vitality. The plan of
getting the seed potatoes cut several
weeks or even days before planting is
not to be commended. Even If the seed
thus prepared is kept in dark cellar
the starchy part of the tuber is GER
tain to lose much of its freshness, and
the vitality of the seed may be i'm

Aunt Alvira Fifer was what her
neighbors called a regular driver
Possessed of untiring energy and I'M
failing strength herself, she made lit
tie allowance for idleness on the part
Of any one, and she declared that she
could "put up with mean man easier
than with lazy one"
Aunt Alvira's husband, Uncle Ethan,
was a small, wizened, weak looking
man, whom Aunt Alvira declared to
be mighty wiry, If he did look so
spindlin'."
One day a summer boarder who
CHANGED to be staying at a farmhouse
near the Fifer homestead wandered
over to the little brown farmhouse and
sat down for chat with Aunt Alvira.
The visitor took note of the enormous
quantity Of stove wood piled up in the
back yard and overlooking from the
great woodshed. The whole yard was
strewn with it. The caller estimated
that there were not less than twenty

three feet Where ten or more acrel
are grown a potato planter will soon
pay for itself. Where the acreage is
smaller than this two or three neigh
bors can often combine to purchase
such a machine.
Where hand planting is practiced
the rows should be opened with q
stirring pillow to a depth Of four to six
inches. The practice of dropping the
tubers in a cultivator track and cover
ing them lightly is responsible fol
many of the low yields. Potatoes
send up a strong sprout that Is able
to penetrate six inches of soil easily,
and the roots need to be well down in
the moist earth. After the tubers are
dropped the stirring pillow may again
be brought into use to cover them, or
a disk cultivator may be used. The
main thing is to get them covered
deeply. After covering two or three
borrowings should be given to level the
ground and kill any sprouting weeds.
The cut tubers should be dropped
from twelve to sixteen inches apart,
one In place. The amount OF seed
to use per acre will depend on the
price If seed potatoes are not too ex-
pensive it pays to be liberal with them.
Where medium sized potatoes are cut
into quarters and dropped every fif-
teen inches in rows three and one half
feet apart twelve to fifteen bushels
per acre will be needed
On western farms. where land is
cheap and labor scarce, potatoes are
often planted in rows both ways. This
can be readily done by running a
planter wire across the field and drop
ping piece Of potato ut each button
on the wire The wire is moved at
each end as in planting corn. When
planted in this way half tuber in
stead of quarter should be dropped

1t is strange that man has been SO
long in learning to fly. Nature In the
seed has for cons shown him good
working aeroplane. The seed of the
silver maple and the ash often fly in
the summer forty or fifty yards. The
seeds wing is an extension Of the pod.
When the seed breaks loose from its
bough the wing whirls rapidly round
the body as an axle, its front edge
striking the air higher than the rest OF
its surface and thus producing air
pressure in an upward direction that
carries the tiny aeroplane on and up
in Wright-like flight. The linden seed
clusters show an aeroplane Of tremen-
dous strength. The seeds hang on a
single stem from the center Of one
large wing. When this seed aeroplane
sets forth the wing revolves and points
upward. bearing onward its weight OF
seeds with power greater than any
bird puts forth. The box elder, tn
pine and the cataIpa are other trees
whose existence is perpetuated by the
aeronautical skill Of their little seeds.

etiquette at covsnt Garden.

Etiquette at Covent Garden is al
most as strict as that which prevails
In the servants hall of a great man
sion, says London M. A. P. No prima
donna must be addressed by an In
ferior, and the presentation Of bou-
quets is delicate matter, regulated
with due regard for the feelings Of
the ladies. The claque still prevails;
but, as only the less eminent singers
employ these lads to success" nobody
is ever deceived. The management
knows nothing of these men, who are
hired by the singers to go into the
gallery and applaud their employers
vociferously. The custom Is very COM
mon on the continent, where it also
takes the more Objectionable form OF
hiring men to hiss rivals off the stage.
Happily that sort of thing would not
be tolerated in England, and so the
claque is confined to the minor mem
bers of the company, who bring over
with them an Unsuitable desire for ap-
plause and are so determined to get 1t
that they leave nothing to chance. The
claquers receive fee of shillings,
in addition to the payment for their
seats.

George |. was a lover of the stage
and, as his predecessors had done,
caused his Servants" to play before
him at court. In 1718 his majesty or
dered the great hall of Hampton Court
to be converted for the time into a
theater. There, under the direction Of
Steele, whose political services had
been poorly recompensed by granting
him some theatrical privileges" seven
performances were given. Among the
plays were Hamlet" "Sir Courtly
Nice" "The Constant Couple" Love
For Money" ''Volpone" and "Rule a
Wife and Have a Wife" Among the
players were Colley Cibber, Pinketh-
man, Johnson, Thurmond, Booth,
Mills, Mrs. Porter and Mrs. Younger.
In former times the fee paid by the
sovereign to his servants for play
acted at Whitehall had been EGO. For
these plays at Hampton Court King
George, besides paying the actors their
ordinary days wage and travelling ex-
penses, gave 1850 and added f200 for
the managers. The players were re-
CURED to act at any time upon receiv-
ing a days notice.
