EXPOSITIONISREADY
SEATTLE To BE MECCA FOR
THOUSANDS THIS YEAR.
sition Will Be the Greatest of the
Kind in Years.-An Buildings Are
Completed and Exhibits are in Place
The Side Trips an Attraction.

Seattle two expositions are just |
about ready for the bell tap. The |
Alaska Yukon-P Pacific Exposition is 90
per cent complete, which means that
everything is done save sweeping the
floors and the other exposition, which
consists of the most magnificent seen
cry and the longest list of interest |
ing tours boosted by any American
city, is always ready.
Railroad experts the country over
declare that the success Of the A. Y. P.
is already assured, but for this fact
they do not give the whole credit to
either the management or the publicity
campaign. On the contrary, they de-
clare that the imminent influx into the
northwest is due more largely to North
western resources and home POSSIBLE
ties and to Northern and Alaskan seen
cry and romance, more than to any
other power Of attraction.
The only work that now remains to
be done on the Exposition grounds is
upon the motor boat pavilion, which is
not to be brought into use until Au-
gust, and on the stock show sheds
which are for use in the early months
of fall, and which are entirely cut off
from the main exposition picture.
These, however, will be complete by
the opening day.
Nightly now the exposition grounds
are lighted for the enjoyment of the
pre-exposition crowds which daily 90
to the grounds. For weeks the at
tendance has averaged close upon
$780, If special free days were count
ed, it would be a larger figure than
this.
Practically all Of the exhibits are in
stalled in the Manufacturers Building
and in the Oriental and European build
ings. The installation in the Palace
Of Agriculture is somewhat slower but
will not be behind hand at the right
moment The Government exhibits are
well along, with the exception of the
Hawaiian and Philippines exhibits,
which arrived late. However, they viii
be complete to the last detail by june
the first.
The japanese exhibit is being spread
rapidly in Japan s splendid building
and in the japanese tea garden on the
Pay Streak. China 5 village on the
Pay Streak is also rapidly filling up
as il the Turkish village with its
streets Of bazaars and cafes
The Canadian exhibit Is installed and

! interesting features Of the exposition.
