/ ever held, receiving the benefit of that
amount
The A.-Y.-P.. as it is sometimes
called in Seattle. will differ also from
some former fairs in that some of its
exhibit palaces will be permanent
structures. The grounds are located
on the property Of the Washington
university. a state institution. and after
the exposition is over the permanent
buildings and those substantially built
will be taken over by the college to be
used for educationa! purposes.
The exposition site is the most beau
tiful ever used for such a purpose. 1t
is $50 acres in extent and borders for
Union and Lake Washington. the latter
being the largest body Of fresh water
in the Pacific northwest. Within the
city limits, it is convenient to all parts
Of Seattle and is only twenty minutes
ride by electric car from the business
center. The Olympic and Cascade
mountains may be seen from the
grounds and an unObstructed view
may be obtained of the perpetual
snow peaks Of Mounts Rainier and
Baker. Tall, stately giants Of the for
est form beautiful vistas, and gentle
slopes, commanding terraces and I'M
surpassed stretches Of water front add
ting In the erection Of the buildings
every precaution will be taken to pre-
serve natures own handiwork.
Twelve large exhibit palaces will
form the main part Of the exposition.
Around these will cluster the state,
foreign and concessions buildings aud
smaller exhibit structures The main
exhibit buildings will be: United
States government, Alaska, Yukon,
Manufactures. Agriculture and Horti-
culture, Machinery, Forestry, Fine
Arts, Fisheries, Mines, Hawaii and
Philippines.
To start the exposition off right the
people Of Seattle got together in Octo-
ber 1906, and raised &6JOOOO in one
day by the purchase Of stock in the
exposition corporation, something that
was never done before by any city a
any time for any purpose. The capt
tai stock was placed at $500, 900. but
when the business day was over it
was discovered that the stock had been
ovcrsubscribed to the tune of $50. 900.
The capital stock was then increased
to 100000. al Of which Will be sold

Not to be outdone. the state Of Wash

dress on Inauguration day:
1T is thought that there has been

enactment OF the Dingley act. draf fled

that the measure of the tariff above
stated will permit the reduction Of

Quire the advancement Of few. if any,
In recent years when there have
been extensive alterations in the tar

been the result OF efforts to undo the
work Of an opposite political party IN
amendment of the schedules. 1t was

(which was drafted by Republican
congress with the view of undoi:,c
what had been done by Democratic
congress when the German Wilson bill
was enacted in President CleveIand's
second administration. The German
Wilson act, in turn. was return to n
Democratic basis for the tariff, sue

so on back through the Mills bill, the
Morrison bill and other tariff meas
ures. some enacted. others only pro-
posed and discussed or acted upon by
but one branch of the government.
The tariff was usually taken up when
there was a change in the political
complexion of congress and one party
or the other desired to alter it to con-
form to its particular ideas
In the present instance there has
been no change in the political com.
