great afternoon, inaugural parade
there will be $4,000 soldiers. sailors.
and marines, and 5000 citizens. men,
.bers of clubs and associations-a to-
tai of $1,000 paraders.
( The attendance at the ceremonies
also promises to be record breaker.
Better yet, the arrangements made
BY the proper, committee with the pro-
Iprietors of hotels. boarding houses
and the like, will not permit visitors
to be charged exhorbitant rates.
s "a man or woman OF moderate
means may plan to spend three OF
four days in Washington during the
inaugural period at a cost for lodg-
ings and food of 5000 per day"
The above statement was made to-
day by Chairman Weller of the inau-
gural COMMITTEES on public comfort.
Mr.. Weller explained that good lodg-
iings in private family or boarding
house may be had ASSOC a day dur
ing the inaugural period while the
meals will mot cost more than an ad-
ditional dollar. There are many mod.
crate priced lunch rooms and dining
rooms in Washington where meals
will be served from twenty-five cents
up. In private houses. lodgings and
board can be obtained at $50, $500
and $3.50 per day. These will be the
ruling rates.
And" Chairman Weller added,
the owners have agreed in writing tc
abide by the rates quoted to the COM
mittee. Tho rate is usually based on
a visit to Washington OF four days
which will enable the ordinary visitor
to see Washington properly after he
or she has witnessed the greatest in
augural ceremonies ever held"
Folks who stop at the hotels viii
find the ruling rate to be $500. a day
for room and board, American plan,
and 800 a day up European plan.
Those visitors who come here in par
ties of from two to four can make the
best arrangements. Chairman welle.
explained. He also said that not all

REPLICA OF HOME
or GENERAL LEE
Is TO Be AtsSeattle Exposition
For All Visitors from
the South.

sEATTLE,wash.. Feb. 90
Through the request of number
of Southern people residing in se-
attic the Exploitation Department Of
the Alaska YnRon-Pacifc Exposition
has sent out an invitation to the
Confederate Veterans and to the
United Daughters OF the Confeder-
acy toierect replica of the home OF
General Robert q. Lee on the expo
Esition grounds to serve as quarters
for the Southern people who may
visit the exposition. This move
ment was started by the members
Of the Robert E. Lee Chapter Of the
U. D. c. in Seattle. Southern peo-
pie residing in Seattle feel such
keen disappointment that no South
ern State will be represented here
that they have conceived the idea of
asking these two powerful organi-
cations to assist In the effort to have
at least one building on the, fair.
grounds in which exhibits may be
displayed from all the states. and
which may serve as headquarters
for Southern visitors.
AS the time is short every effort
is being made to, give as wide pub
licity to the movement as possible
and personal letters from the Elk
ploitation Department have already
been set to Mrs. Cornelia Branch
Stone, president general of the Uni
ted Daughters of the Confederacy,
at Galveston Texas, and the Pres
idents Of the different stae divisions
in every state in he Union asking
ther cooperation with the local
chapter Of the Daughters Of the Con-
federacy, in raising the necessary
funds.
IF nothing else can be done, ;"
said Mrs, G. A. c. Rochester recent
ly, "our local chapter will secure a
home in some building on the fair
grounds where we will keep d reg
lister of Southern people. II We can
raise funds through the South for a
building, 1t would probably be a
replica of General Robert E. Lees
old Virginia home. General Lee is
one Of the nations heroes and is 40
regarded by the North as well rs
the South. and We believe a replica
OF his, home would be of equal inter
est to the people OF all sections Of
the country. But II we are forced
to limit our efforts at having tho
South represented, to the fitting up
of only one. room, We would PROB
ably make 1t reproduction Of the
living room at historic "Beuvais."
Whatever is the result of our Of
