NATURE AND ART COMBINE
IN MAKING THE EXPOSITION
INGS BEAUTIFUL.

Right now he Alaska-Y y ukon-Pa-
ciiic Exposition is the magnet tha,
is attracting thousands of people
from eastern, southern and middle
western states TO the Pacific Coast
partly for the reason that the cx-
hibition will open up a new line
of thought with its great displays
from Alaska, Hawaii and the Phil
ippines as well as the Orient, and
partly because OF the much advcr-
tised scenic beauties OF the states
bordering on the Pacific.
The state OF Washington and
more particularly the Puget Sound
country viii soon be the mecca for
trainioads of strangers. But Wash
ingtOn will not hold the visitors
for an indefinite period for they
have sOmeting in mind further than

There are opportunities on the
Pacific Coast for the homeseekcr
as we'll as the merchant and manu-
,facturer and the visitors to the
fair intend to see just what Ore
gon, Idaho, Colorado, Utah, Wyom-
ing, Nevada, California as well as
British Columbia have to offer IN
the way of inducements to settlers.
OF course. the tourists will be here
in large numbers and their timer
AIRY nearly always includes all the
lake and seaside resorts
OF the Northwest.
The exposition itself is going to
open the eyes OF the thousands Of
visitors who will come to Seattle
expecting to find an exhibition
very similar to what has been of
fered before. The Alaska-YukOn-|
Pacific Exposition is not going to
be remem bcred after its gates close
BECAUSE OF its great size or by the
of its buildings, but be
cause of the beautiful picture form
I'd by the work OF the builder and
artist, framed in by
axes, mountains and woodland
scenery distributed lavishly on

CROWDS GOING TO CIRCUS.
Nauy of Our Citizens Will See Ring
ling Show at Lake Charles

A great many of our people are
going to Lake Charles on November
3rd TO the Ringing Bros circus IL
will be the only opportunity this year
and the railroads are preparing 70
handle thousands of visitors from the
surrounding territory.
Ringing Brothers have made many
important improvements since tneS
last appeared in this part of the coun-
try, AT Madison Square Garden
New York, where the season oegah'
the performances were attended nlgn''
ly by the biggest crowds that ever Sd"
q circus in Manhattan, and the news
paners were not backward about say
ing that Ringing Brothers were pre-
senting, in every respect, the best en-
tertainlnent of the kind ever given
there. The performances IN Lake
Charles will be identical with those
given in the garden, not the sllghtes'
change having been made in the long
program.
The circus offered this year is one
of wonderful novelty. instead OF the
usual single thriller presented by o'h
or circuses, the Ringing Brothers ar
heading their bill with no less tnat
seven of the greatest and most sensa
tional acts that hal ever been present
ed anywhere on earth.
The parade will be given IN III
forenoon, 1t will far surpass 10
brilliant paeeants which the Rlngllh
Brothers have given in past years
having been entirely rebuilt In IN

coNvicTs MAKING GOOD ROADS.
Superintendent J. X. Martin Gives ILL.,
teresting Data Oh Cost Oh
Building Roads.

The question OF good roaus IS Que
of the formost subjects OF the present
day in this section of the state. 1t IS
one that has direct bearing upon
the prosperity of every line OF work, I
trade and profession, in the entire
country. and hence is of vital interest
TO all. No other one thing contributes
more to the development and prosper
ity of any community than good
roads.
In this matter, as in most others,
Calcasieu parish, has recently, at
least, been taking an active part.
The construction of the trans-parlsh
highway, which has been in process
!for the past six months, has attracted,
not only the attention of home people,
but the people throughout the state
have been watching with good deal
Of interest, the outcome of the eX-
, neriment of making public highways
by the use of convict labor. If this
can be successfully done, it at once
solves two of the great questions OF
r the state: the building of public roads
and the successful utilization OF labor
a of the states convicts.
y That this can be done successfully
O has been pretty clearly demonstrated
~ during the past five months, in which
6 time Mr.. J. K. Martin, superintendent
Of the convict road gang, has built
# MANY miles of the finest roads OF the
r. state, at a cost that cannot be dupllca'
ted bv the employment of free labor.
=, While this is recognized as true by a
r. large majority OF the people OF the
20 parish, yet there is a feeling on the
4. part of some, that perhaps the presen
no cost of construction is greater than i
,o should be, and in order to let TIT
people of the parish know exactl'
,ts what it iscosting to build roads unde1
