BEAUTIFUL SIDE TRIPS
Alaska Yukon-Pacific Exposition But
One Of the NOrthwests's
AlIurements

Seattle, Wash, July S.--Already
people headed for Seattle are asking
what will be offered in the way OF
side trips from the Exposition city.
A great, many will tour the South
eastern coast of Alaska visiting the
glaciers and the totem pole villages.
Others will cross the strait of Juan
de Fuce to Victoria and thence to
Vancouver, the two leading cities Of
British Columbia. Down the strait
to Port Angeles is another interest
ing voyage. It's dozens of vessels
comprising the mosquito fleet offer
more daylight excursions than could
be found else In the world.
Arrangements have been made
whereby visitors to Seattle this year
will be admitted to the salmon can,
neries at Anacortes, reached from this
city by steamer, the trip requiring a
day. Bellingham is also visited on
this trip. The Puget Sound Navy
Yard will be the Mecca for thousands
and the steamers plying between Sc
attic and Tacoma will no doubt do
a capacity business this year.

A BIG FIRE AT NAMPA

Nampa, Ida, July Despite a
careful watch kept by the police au-

foreigner who started the $500, 900
fire in Nampa Saturday afternoon has
not been apprehended. The man step
ped into the cigar store of John Arm
old, where quantity of fireworks
was on sale and set a lighted bomb
off among them.
The front part of the store was
blown out and fire started at once
which spread rapidly and RACED every
structure in the block. An appeal
was sent to Boise and Caldwell by
Mayor Dewey and the Boise depart
ment reached Nampa distance of
twenty miles In eighteen minutes, att
err being loaded on special train.
The firemen worked valiantly and
only through their bitter fight against
the flames was the fire confined to
this one block. At one time the
Dewey Palace hotel caught fire from
sparks, but the firemen soon put the
blaze out Had it not been for the
arrival Of the departments from Boise
and Caldwell 1t is almost certain that
all Of the residence and business dis
trict of Nampa would have been WHIP

THE CROAKER

once by the edge OF a pleasant pool,
| Under the bank, where twas dark
and cool,
Where bushes over the water hung,
And grasses nodded and rushes
| swung,
just where the brook flowed oltts-of
the bog,
There lived equity and mean old
frog
Who'd sit all day lin the mud, and
soak
And do nothing but croak and croak,
Til, blackbird whistled. II say, you
know,
What is the trouble down there be-
low?
Are YOU In sorrow, or pain, or what!2'
The frog said: Mine is a grewsome
lot!
Nothing but mud, and dirt and slime,
For me TO look at the livelong time
It's a dismal worldt" so he sadly
spoke,
And voiced his woes in a mournful
croak.
But you're looking down." the
blackbird said.
Look at the blossoms overhead;
Look at the lovely summer skies;
Look at the bees and the butterflies
Look up, old fellow! Why, Mess
your soul,
You're looking Gown in muskrat's
hole! s
but Sill with his gurgling sob and
choke,
The frog continued to croak and
croak.
And wise old turtle, who boarded
near,
Said to the blackbird: Friend, see
here.
Don't shed your tears over him, for
he
Is wretched just cause he likes to be-!
He's one of the kind who won't be
glad; 4,
It makes him happy to think he's
sad.
I'll tell you something -and it's no
Don't waste your pity on those who
croak."

EXPOSITION NOTES

1 Seattle, Wash, July THE civil.
lied man is in some ways less ad-
vanced than his savage brother, is
testified by the fact that the services
of Antero, an IgorrOte wax worker,
had to be called upon to determine
whether the front axle Of the Ford
No. 2 car which won the race from
New York to the Alaska Yukon Paci-
flc exposition, was the same axle with
which the car started.
Under the complaints of the Shaw
NUT drivers, who alleged that the
Ford's cars axle was broken and had
to be replaced In Kansas, it became
necessary to take wax casts of the
Identification marks on this axle to
compare them with the marks known
to be genuine.
The exposition authorities were 1t
a quandry to know who could do this
delicate work. AT this moment they
recalled that the Igorrotes possess the
lost wax art of the Orient, in which
they are extremely proficient.
One of the most intelligent of the
natives Of the Philippine islands who
have a village on the Pay Streak, was
chosen and told to go to work. TAX
ing his wax and small kit of tools
with him in his head basket, the lit
tie lgorrote entered into his task.
The marks which he reproduced in
wax consist of a number of small
holes, seven in all, arranged in a
certain mathetical ratio to each 9TH
er. These marks can only be made
by the stamp possessed by the start
ers in New York and furnish means
of Identification that is absolutely
sure.
The little Igorrote, who stands but
little over five feet in height, sat down
on his launches in front of the car.
He cleaned the marks in question
carefully and then. after drying them
he inserted his wax.
After the cast had taken sufficient
time to harden on the cold steel,
1t was carefully removed by q Pc
culiarly shaped copper instrument.
The cast sowed perfectly the location
