OPENING OF THE A.Y.-P.
The Grounds and Building Practically Com
pleted-txhibitS Not All In
Position

The exposition opened on schedule
time with a record breaking attendance
for opening day.
The grounds and buildings are COM
plete and are not surpassed in beauty
by any grounds and buildings we have
seen. The exhibit in the federal
building is complete and comprehends
everything that pertains to government,
and much beside. Many Of the ex-
hibits, in Machinery hall, for instance,
and Manufacturers building, with
many other OF smaller size, are not yet
in place.
Chelann county's exhibit, in the
Washington state exhibit building, was
sore disappointment. In the same
building Yakima, Walla Walla, Okano-
gan and many other counties, made a
better showing Of county products than
did our own. We were told that il
would be improved, which was some
relief.
The location of the ground for ex-
position purposes is ideal. 1t could
not be excelled. What nature lacked
in making the place attractive and
pleasing to the eye has been supplied
by the landscape gardener and architect
The different buildings, while not sc
large as some we have seen at othel
great fairs, are handsome in design anc
pleasing in proportion and color.
The pay streak, about which we hea
so much, is the vaudeville Of the BIZ
show. Altogether it is worth any one
time to spend a week there. 1t vii
take week if you want to see it all
and you'll have to hurry to make TIT
round then.

That a better understanding between

noticeable things at the opening of the
Alaska Yukon-Pacifc exposition. A

In calling a special session of the
Legislature for the third time in the
history of Washington's statehood,
Governor Hay intmates that the re-
port Of the investigating committee
may contain some interesting revelations.
Other departments than the Office Of
insurance commissioner will be brought
into the limehght, it is promised, as
the governor says he is convinced that
the special session is necessary to de-
termine what steps shall be taken to
straighten out the affair OF various de-
patments and to prevent, if possible,
a REPETITION of errors that have reflected
anything but credit on the State. The
session will convene June 23d.
Much money has already been lost
to the State by careless and unbusiness-
like Methods says Governor Hay,
and I wish to see all State. depart
ments and institutions placed on a
more businesslike basis.
THE special session of the legis-
lature will probably develop legislation
other than that which concerns the
State institutions. My special mes
sage to the Legislature will contain
number OF recommendations, princi-
pally cleaning up the work left over
from the last Legislature. The procla-
nation has not yet been drawn up
but in all probability it will specify
that the purpose of the extraordinary
session is to consider the report of the
investigating committee and such Other
matters as may be introduced.

SEATTLE NEWS LETTER
Extra Session of Legislature Expected To
Develop Some Starting Facts

1t is doubtful if a crowd approx
mating one hundred thousand persons
was ever handled more expeditiously
by any transportation company than
did the Seattle Electric Company on
the opening day OF the Alaska-Yukon
Pacific exposition last week. Large
preparations had been made in antici-
patton of the event, but the attend
ance exceeded estimates. In making
its arrangements for the fair service,
the Electric company expended ST.
600, 900. This was for new lines, ter
minals and additional rolling stock.
Car lines converge upon the expo
sition grounds from all parts of the city
so that on the opening day during the
greatest rush cars arrived at the grounds
at the rate of five minute. The ser
vice was above criticism when it is
considered how severely It was taxed.
The only confusion came in the eve
ming when it began to rain. Naturally
there was rush on the part of the
crowds that wanted to get home and
for few minutes it was a heller skel-
ter multitude. But the big cars were
loaded speedily and all were taken to
their destinations with dispatch. 1t is
a notable fact that there was not a
single accident on the lines of the Sc
attic Electric Company. With the ex-
perience Of the first day, a number Of
Improvements have suggested them
selves to the managers and adjustments
have been made which guarantee the
Alaska-Yukon-Pacifc visitors the very
best of service that has been given at
any fair ever held. This is an import
ant matter and the exposition directors
appreciate it, for on the transportation
of the crowds to the grounds depends
the success Of the fair in a large
measure.

Senator Ruth was one of the most
persistent opponents Of the resolution
to investigate the state officers. Now

madness. He has had a hand in the
pork barrel himself. He has drawn a

even when no contract work was going
on. There were other strong oppon.

Gated the increasing good feeling be-

The state board Of Geology has ap-
propriated IS, 900 for an economic sur
vey of the logged-of lands Of the State.
The money will be taken from the
fund of $4,000 made available by the
last legislature for a geological survey
of the state. Work is to begin at once
and the initial survey will include the
land between Pierce county and the
international boundary on the north
and south and the ocean and the Cas-
cades on the west and east. The
work will be continued until the entire
State has been surveyed. The sum OF
$1,000 is also available for an inves-
tigation of the States cement resources.
In view Of the dawn Of the cement
era, Prof. Henry Landes, State geolo-
gist favors an immediate report on
this subject which will be thorough
and comprehensive, as he says there
are many inquiries being received from
men who wish to establish cement
works here.
When James Wilson, Secretary OF
the Department OF Agriculture, attends
the Alaska Yukon-Pacific Exposition
this summer, he will visit the various
forest reserves of the Northwest, where
il is charged that large areas valuable
for agricultural purposes have been
withdrawn from entry. In an inter
view with Congressman F. w. Cush-
man of Tacoma, the secretary init
mated that he would recommend the
release of all such lands as should be
found improperly reserved in govern
ment forests. This will be good news
to many parts of Washington and
Idaho where settlement has been i'm
peded by the wholesale withdrawal of
tillable lands. Secretary Wilson favors
a liberal policy with regard to lands
that are suitable for farming purposes
and he promises to come to the rescue
OF many counties whose taxable areas
have shrunk so noticeably under the
Roosevelt forestry program.
