Soliciting by Buggy
At one of the Los Angeles county
points day or two ago friends of one
of the contestants got into a buggy
made the rounds of the farmers homes
and as a result four annual and sew
eral short period subscriptions were
added to the teachers list. This is
only an instance showing how enthusi-
aSt1c are patrons of some schools in
their desire to grant their favorite
teacher an opportunity to make this
great trip to the Seattle exposition free
for two weeks, all expenses paid.
Already three of the permanent
buildings are finished and are ready
to be turned over to the University OF
Washington at the close of the fair,
This week the fourth permanent build
ing WillNbe completed and a number OF
the temporary structures finished. The
mining palace, the fisheries building
the hospital and fire station are in use
and the Oregon building, the first state
structure to be completed, is ready to
receive exhibits. Oregon will ship an
exhibit Of 5000 boxes Of apples, which
will be placed in the cold storage plant
in the basement of the Oregon build
ing until within a few weeks of the
opening date.
California Ready
Remarkable progress has been made
on the construction of the California
state building and this structure is
practically completed.
Work has been commenced on the
Washington state building, which is te
be one of the permanent structures to
be eventually turned over to the Uni
versity of Washington.
Plans for the United States govern
ment building have been approved.
Work on the grounds is in excellent
shape. The site of $50 acres has beer
entirely cleared ana graded and roads
and paths laid out. Acres of greer
lawns give refreshing appearance and
the mild climate of Puget sound will
make it possible to transplant many
Of the more hardy flowers during the
winter months. There are in all about
a million plants in the greenhouses
and when these are set out and in
bloom the grounds will be a veritable
mass of beautiful flowers, clingine
vines and green shrubbery.
The G'lggenheim interests are now
spending millions in the construction
of railroad into the heart of the Cop
per river district. Some large mug
gets of pure copper have been taker
from these mines and some of these
smaller nuggests will also be shown
1t is the purpose of the Alaska fail
commission to represent every branch
of mining in each of the Alaska dis
tricts. In addition to the placer GOLD
