At the exposition Lachlen Mac

More Boats, More Tarins.
Every transportation facility
was doubled today to carry the
crowds to the big show. The
Northern Pacific ran a special
train at $3.50 direct to the grounds
for fare of $1.45 round trip.
The Interurban line had a. bunch
of specials on for the morning run
with fare for the round trip at
75 cents. t.. Flyer and Indian
apolfs kept their regular 0 cent
roun drip rate but did extra SER
vice, the Flyer preparing to run
another trip from Seattle at 10
o'clock. The Yosemite and the
Daring, new steamer, were both
put on the run between Tacoma
and Seattle for the day. Facili-
ties were provided by the trans
portation companies for carrying
$4,000 people to the exposition
from Tacoma and a pretty good
proportion of that number took
advantage OF the occasion.
All Wear Badges.

in White House.

WASHINGTON, June Pres
lident Taft, in the east room of

The ceremony was witnessed by
Mrs. Taft, a large number of dip

After the presidents message
to the exposition had been flashed
across the country and the re-
lsponse received, Taft addressed
the assemblage in the east room.
He voiced his hope for the sue
cess of the exposition and ex-
lpressed his certainty that 1t would
Ireflect credit upon the enterprise,
push and business ability of the
men who planned it. In conclu-

people of the Pacific coast for the
honor done us in touching the

flags and set in motion the ma

THE exposition opens in per-
feet readiness at the time appoint
ed and the directors at the outset
have scored victory that has not
been achieved by any enterprise
of the kind" ~ -.
Demonstrates Progress
He then referred to the exposi-
|tion as demonstrating the conn-
Itry's. -pretress and expansion OF

exposition was not designed to
commemorate a historical event. II
would, nevertheless, recall the dis
3overy of the Oregon country the
prolonged dispute with Great Brit

"Ennobling and inspiring as
other expositions have been, this
one will point out to our country

republic and higher hope of all
races"
