COMPARISON Is IN FAVOR OF
 REVIEW

Last evening the Miner again in sisted that the Review was and is tied up," notwithstanding the pub lished comparative figures which con ciusively showed, that Sn the basis of inches of set ccmposition-not plate natter-advertising and news, the Re view outclassed the Miner by several yards.
 PresuminS. for the sake of argu- ment, that the Review is inconveni- enced at the present time and is not up to its usual complement, it Is in teresting to show in cold figures just how much better it serves the read ing public of the territory, even under the, circumstances. than does its hand bill competitor at its very best.
 Yesterday morning the Review car ried 412 inches of news matter-iin- otype eompositionzand the Miner iast evening contained only 2s1 inches. In the same issue the Review carried 4o1 inches of live, paid advertisins and the Miner contained only 3as.
 The story of each newspaper is told day by day in its columns. and it is not necessary for it's editor to tell the public that his publication is better and more prosperous than that of it's alleged competitor. The newspaper that carries the news of the day has the call invariably from both the read ing and advertising public. and is the paper that keeps ahead of the process sion of progress unhindered by the uu- principled efforts of weak and unsuc. cessful rivals.
 We again take the liberty to ask our readers to judge by measurement Or by any other honest standard which of the two Bisbee newspapers gives the best evidence of being tied up"

ROOSEVELT, PRIVATE CITIZEN
His Experiences as Strap Hanger and
Magazine Editor.

Magazine Editor.
When Theodore Roosevelt started for
work as a plain citizen and a magazine
editor n day shortly after his arrival
at Oyster Bay he jumped on to a sur
face car on leaving the ferry at Thirty
fourth street, New York, and, finding
1t crowded, hung to a strap like the
humblest of patrons of the traction
line. Nobody offered him a seat, and
had any one done sc it would probably
have been declined, for in crossing the
ferry from Long Island City he stood
up In the crowd, only accepting a seat
for his companion, Miss Cornelia Lang
don, a friend Of his daughter Ethel. At
the residence Of his brother-in-law,
Douglas Robinson, he met the Rev. DR..
Lyman Abbott, editor in chief of the
Outlook, with which the ex-president
now has IN editorial connection. Colo
mel Roosevelt went with DR.. Abbott to
the Outlook offices on Fourth avenue
and was introduced to some members
Of the staff he had not met before. He
held a conference in a private Office
whose door bears a sign reading: "The
Outlook Publishing Company. Offices
of Theodore Roosevelt" After dictat-
ing letters Mr.. Roosevelt at / o'clock
started out for luncheon at the Nation

It Stopped the Run,

During thr financial crisis in New
York WaShiH%t"n was filed with tales
OF how runs had been stopped or

told by a Missouri congressman.

There he dumped them into sacks
marked as holding gold amounting tC
100000 each. The next day the sacks
were taken out Of the bank and CON
veyed to wagons. Surrounded by 4
strong guard of eight men armed with
revOlverS and rifles, the wagons moved
slowly toward Kansas City. Th2r
were halted in front Of Chicks bank.
The heavy sacks were conveyed inside
the bank. Hundreds Of people wit
messed the operation. Many of them
were depositors. One of them said to
his friends, unconsciously repeating
the Frenchman in Mark Twain's
Roughing It. We'll, now that they've
got the money l don't want it, The
effect OF this deposit was electric. The

exposition, n of the most successful
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 it's
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 yer the permanent
buildings and those substantially built
will be taken over by the college to be
used for educational purposes.
The exposition site is the most beau
tiful ever used for such a purpose. 1t
Is $50 acres in extent and borders for
more than a mile and a half on Lake
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 UNI
surpassed stretches Of water front add
to the beauty Of the exposition's set
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 viii cluster the state,
foreign and concessions buildings and
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-
Der, 1906, and raised $65O,OO0 in one
day by the purchase Of stock in the
exposition corporation, something that
was never done before by any city at
any time for any purpose. The capt.
tai stock was placed at 100000, but
when the business day was over it
was discovered that the stock had been
oversubscribed to the tune of $3.50, 900.
The capital stock was then increased
to 100000, all Of which will be sold
in Seattle before the exposition opens.
Not to be outdone, the state Of Wash
ington at the legislative meeting Of
19o6-7 appropriated $1,000, 600 for its
representation at the exposition. The
Evergreen State will! erect several
buildings to hold the large displays II

Made Him Bite His TONGUE,

Since the black pugilist Johnson put
away" IL Canadian grown champion,
Tommy Burns, we have heard a lot
about the hardness of the negroes head,
which. according to common belief, is
capable Of standing almost any blow.
The following story would seem to
Indicate something Of the kind any
how: Two negro men were employed
in tearing down a three story brick
building. One negro was on top of
the building taking off the bricks and
sliding them down a narrow wooden
chute to the ground, some thirty feet
below, where the other was picking
them up and piling them.
When the latter negro was stopping
over to pick up a brick the former ac-
cidentally let one fall, striking him
directly on the head.
Instead of its killing him he merely
looked up without rising and said:

\HE next great worlds fair, the
Alaska Yukon Pacific exposi-
ton, will be held at Seattle.
Wash, opening June ! and
closing Oct. Is, 1903.
This exposition will be held in a Sec
ton Of the country where worlds fairs
are new, and for that and many other
reasons 1t is expected that it win be
a success educationally, artistically
and financially. The Alaska Yukon
Tactic exposition will be the second
"orld's fair ever held west Of the
l.ocky mountains, the Lewis and Clark
exposition at Portland, Ore, being tho
first. It will be different from former
worlds fairs in many ways, but one
policy stands out so fur above any of
the rest that the entire press Of the
country Is commenting fa1orably
about It. No money WIN be asked from
Uncle Sam to carry on the work! That
policy must be conceded as original.
All the management desires is for
the United States government to par
ttcfpate in the same ann as for
e1gn countries and the different states
by erecting buildings and installing
therein exhibits. Former exposfttons
have been aided by the government in
many different ways. Outright gifts
of large sums Of money have been
made by congress to some worlds
fairs, while others have negotiated
loans from Uncle Sam, some Of which
were paid back and some of which
were not. Some expositions have re-
ceived both donations and loans. AS
stated before, the MISUNDERSTANDING
exposition will ask for neither. A
clause pledging this policy was insert
ed in the congressional bill making pro-
vision for participation only by Uncle
Sam.
Since the United States government
began to patronize expositions down to
the jamestown fair congress has ap-
propriated a total of sos, 752,251 for
worlds fairs. Only $4S5,OOO Of this
money has been spent west of the

upon it. In addition it will demon.

The prevailing conception of Alaska
Is that it is nothing but a land of ice,
snow and gold. The same is true of
Yukon. Few persons realize the great
possibilities and advantages Of these
countries. Besides the fur, fish and
gold resources there are others that
are only beginning to be developed
and which offer unusual inducements
to capital and labor. 1t will be the
