Management of Alaska Yukon Pacific Exposition Will
Give Free Admission to All Concessions to
Those Who Represent This Paper.

The management of the Alaska Yu
kon- Pacific exposition has made good.
Every contestant in the big voting con-
test who wins trip to the exposition
will be entitled to free admission to
every concession on the Pay Streak"
The PAY Stream" you know, is SINH
lar to the Midway at the Chicago
exposition, the Pike" at st. Louis, and
the Trail at the Lewis & Clark ex-
position. The only difference promised
is that the Pay Streak" will probably
be bigger and better than any of the
others. The management of the Union
and Statesman was very much graft
fed yesterday upon receiving the fol-
lowing letter from the exposition man
agement.
SEATTLE, April 26, 1909.
To the Editor.
Dear Sir: At recent meeting of
the Concessionaries' association of the
Pay Streak of the Alaska Yukon Pa
cific exposition, it was voted unani-
mously to throw the attractions of the
amusement way wide open to all par
| ties of newspaper contestants, upon
presentation of proper credentials from
! this department.
This means that every amusement
| feature of the exposition will be free
| TO the members of the party which you
are planning to send and to Whomever
you may send as chaperon or guide.
The same courtesies will be extend
| ed to yourself or to any accredited

BREAD GOES Up
ONE CENT LOAF
Bakers Forget About the Penny Change
ard Send Bread a Notch Toward
Skies-Runs and Cookies Also
Elevated.

Beginning next Saturday, the price
Of loaf of bread Will be raised to
TX cents. this action having been
adopted as the result of meeting of
the local bakers held last night. With
-four costing Sc barrel, this move is
declared to be absolutely necessary on
the part of the bakers who further
announced that the price of cookies,
buns, etc. will also be raised five
cents on the dozen, or two dozen for
25 cents The retail price hereafter,
beginning May 1, is fixed at Is cents
a dozen When talking of this matter,
Charles Retzer. speaking for the other
bakers. stated today that this action
was the result of deliberation and was
only decided upon when it was found
that with the price of flour so high
something had to be done to protect
them.
Then. too" continued Mr.. Refer.
the cost of delivery is one of our
largest items. Feed prices are high
and for every loaf OF bread which we
deliver, We figure that it costs a cent
for just this purpose alone
The bakeries which have entered
into the agreement to raise the price
on bread are the Model bakery, the
City bakery and the Victoria bak-
cry.
Flour is now selling at an abnor-
mally high price and though Sc is
considered the highest in this section
in years, it is yet below the price ex-
isting in the east and middle west,
where wholesale quotations are any
where from 81 to IS per barrel. The
prediction has been made that the
price will yet go higher.

rooms of the Commercial club when a
permanent organization will be per-
fected Coincident with the completion
of final rules and regulations for this
club, which is now but a temporary
one. plans for the welcoming of the
pathfinder car will be completed.
The committee on organization and
bylaws, consisting of w. w. Baker,
B. c. Holt and T. A. Paul, have almost
completed the work of securing the
data necessary for the organization
upon which will be based the working
plan and this will be presented to the
owners of machines present Thursday

held last month, when a temporary
organization was affected, an lnltla-
ton fee of S. per capita will be levied

PROTEST AGAINST
CLOSING MILL RACE
Forty Property Owners demonstrate
Against the Shutting of the Old
Isaacs Mill Race Along Mill
Creek.

Forty property owners living in the
upper section of the city last night
filed with the city council a remon-
STRANGE against the granting of the
petition presented at last weeks meet
ing, asking that the Isaac's mill race
from Bellevue avenue to Min creek be
abandoned. The communication las.
night was referred to the water com
mittee, and was as follows:
1--WE respectfully demonstrate
against the granting of the petition
of the III. p. Isaacs company and 9TH

clerk, praying the vacation Of that
part of the old Isaacs mill race from

press upon you that the Alaska Yu-
kon-Pacific Pay Streak presents more
high class attractions than any pre-
vious exposition has shown.
Many of the features are of high ed
vocational value; many others are pure
fun. All of them are absolutely clean.
There is not one with a feature even
suggestive. The exposition manage
ment has made of the Pay Streak one
cf the biggest features of the fair and
it will be a scene of life, gayety and
action every minute.
Very truly yours,
D. B. DUNCOMBE.
All of the contestants who have
visited any of the previous exposition
know what it means to attempt to
visit all of the concessions 1t means
that you will have to take your bank
roll with you. But those who secure
at least 81 yearly subscriptions, or suf-
fcient number for a lesser period to
make up the total of 81 years sub
subscription, will not need to spend a
lot of money for such purposes They
will visit all of those places free OF
charge as guests of the newspaper and
/ the exposition management.
If you have some friends promised
to give YOU their subscriptions, you
would better close the matter up a soor
as possible before some other con-
testant persuades them to give it t
| some one else.
A subscription in hand is worth two
in the brush.

DIR. PIERPONT
WAS IN STORM

Dr. j. Harris Pierpont, who was on
his way to Mexico, and who will go to
look into the matter of the Caldwell
H. Colts detention by the Mexican
government, experienced trying time
during the prevalence of the storm
which devastated Key West. A letter
from DR.. PieTpOnt has been received
and his experiences are related at
length therein.
The Pensacola man left Key West
day previous TO the storm, going on
the passenger steamer Miami down 10
Havana whence he later boarded an
other vessel for Vera Cruz. Only a
short distance comparatively from the
Island City the Miami ran into the
hurricane and for severa ] hours
fought it out to a finish The gale
grew so severe that the steamer was
forced to lay-tO to await abatement of
the storm. Everything on deck was
swept to sea. Thirty passengers were
aboard and before the storm passed
over they were all more or less sea
sick. The vessel. however, reached
Havana after suffering a considerable
delay and the letter received here
was despatched from the Cuban capi-
