 Adjourned to next Saturday evening. J. c. Mcbride, commissioner of the A. Y. P. E. went north last night on the Cottage City. While in Ketchi- kan he had an interview with MT. Frank Burkhardt and instructed that gentleman to begin the work of col lecting exhibits for the big fair.
 Beginning the first of April Mir. Burkhardt will devote his entire atten- tion to this work until the exhibit is all assembled for shipment. It is de- sired to have not only mineral speci- mens but art and manufacturing, in ventions or discoveries. Anything of merit that can be used to make up a display and show the possibilities of this district are wanted.
 The mine owners and prospectors are especially urged to consult with Mr. Burkhardt regarding their dis play. A little earnest work right now will result in untold good to Ketchi- kan and this district.
 The womans' auxiliary have their display nearly completed and they have done splendid work.
