Yukon-Pacifc Exposition hove
into port last Tuesday morning
and was safely anchored at noon
of the same day, when the Tact
full Taft, President of the United
States of America, with his gold"
en- key touched the button that
dropped the anchor, which will
remain in it's mooring for the
next five months. Seattle never
does things by halves and the at
tending crowd on the opening
day was most excellent verifi-
cation of that stubborn fact. But
a few thousands short of the
1000 mark of attendance was
the record of the opening day,
which was one-half as large as
the attendance of the opening
day at the Chicago exposition,
but a few thousand short of that
number that attendeded the OPP
ening of the exposition at st.
Louis and twice as large as the
attendance of the opening day at
the Portland exposition. The
opening day was not exactly Sc
attic Day, but Seattle day will
not go very far ahead of it,
for of that great concourse of
people, the most of them were
SeattIeites although Tacoma had
a small delegation among the
number. The country districts
of King county likewise furnish
ed a small quota.
The show was ready for the
opening and it is the concensus
of opinion among those who have
seen the most of such eXposi-
tons held either in this country
or in foreign lands that the Alas
ka-Yukon- Pacific exposition is
the most brilliant success of them
them all. The grounds and the
whole exposition presents one of
the most beautiful as well as
marvellous pieces of han
diwork that human hands have
ever fashioned. The amphi-
theater is remarkable for its sim
plicity and likewise it's capacity
to seat multiplied thousands of
people. AS the thousands sat in
the great pit listening to the op-
ening addresses by the big
Ones" they presented a panor-
annie view the likes of which
have never before been witness
ed by human eyes. If this great
exposition does not sufficiently
advertise itself to attract the
largest attendance of any fair in
the history Of modern civilization
then we will be sadly mistaken.
If every detail about the fair was
not complete on the opening day
those in charge so skillfully COW
cred up the defects that the visl-
tor was not able to detect it.
The whole country should feel

Love is never dead and buried
so long as jealousy keeps on her
