| A post-eXposition seaso will be in
augurated at the Alaska Yukon-P Pacific
exposition, beginning Sunday, Oct. II.
and lasting for probably six weeks,
while exhibits are packed and build
ings are cleared out. For at least
a month the directors of the fair prom
Use almost as good a show, so far as
exhibit buildings are concerned, as
during the regular season. The exc
cutive committee has decided on an
admission charge of Is cents for adults
and 10 cents for children, to go into
force on the Sunday following the last
day.
The elaborate exhibits of the exposi.
ton will require much careful han
ding and considerable time to remove.
The government exhibit, particularly
will take time to move, and the direc-
tors of the fair believe there will be
many who will find it worth while to
revisit some of these showings gath

During this pOst-expOsition period
the beauty of the grounds will remain
intact. Toward the close work will
begin in wrecking those buildings
which are not chosen for preservation
by the regents of the State university,
and the public can watch the demoli-
ton of great fair, sight fully as
interesting as it's building, which at
tracted great crowds in the early
spring.

wreching contracts that all ground on
the sites of buildings must be leveled
and planted" said Director General 1.
A. Nadeau last night. "The landscape
features will not be harmed and the
grounds will be just as beautiful as
they have been during the summer

during the evenings. There will be
no out-of-door attractions, but the
buildings will still be worth visit,

nival features of the summer we be-
lieve more careful attention and ap-
probation will be shown toward some
of the wonderful exhibits"
The Pay Streak will be the first
feature of the big show to vanish. The
big joy trail will be deserted village
by the Monday following the close, and
the showmen will fold their tents like
the Arabs, and what tents are not fold
ed will be speedily wrecked and carted
off.
On Sunday, Oct. II, Ellery's band
evening at the auditorium. This will
be the last echo of the splendid must
cal attractions which have drawn thou
sands all summer, and many are ex-
pected to take advantage of the occa-
sion to say goodbye to the band.
| Gov. Hay will shortly meet with the
Washington State A.-Y.-P. commission,
and the question of the disposition of
the States exhibits will be definitely
settled. The commissioners believe
that the exhibit should be preserved
for display at future expositions, and
as Gov. Hay has voiced the same SEN
timent it is probable that the exhibit
will form the nucleus of a permanent
Washington exhibit.
| L. H. Burnett, of Aberdeen, one of
the commissioners. stated that the
question which will probably give the
commission most trouble is whether or
not they have legal authority to lay
aside about $4,000 out of the 5000
to $35 900 that still remains out of the
$500, 900 appropriation to take care of
and store the exhibit until the conven-
ing of the next legislature. The
amendment to the act making avail
able the 100000 provided that the sur
plus should revert to the Lake Wash
ington canal improvement fund. At
torney General Bell will be asked for
an opinion on the subject.
"Our exhibit should be made perma-
nent," said Mr. Burnett. "This would
save the State great expense, as the
State will probably be represented at
| the California exposition and at the
Japanese exposition. The expense of
collecting and preparing an exhibit is
great. l believe that the university
should have the care of the exhibit.
