A. '. ?. FAIR |S
 GIVEN PRAISE

Attorney L. R. Gillette of Juneau, paid this office a visit last evening, having arrived on the Dolphin en route inside on business trip. Speak ing of the AMP. Exposition, he stated that the fair is proving q financial success even though its pat ronage is, as yet, largely local. At the time he left on the fifth inst, there were few eastern people arriv- ing and up to the night of the 4th the attendance was estimated at l50, 900.
 Whether the fair proves finan- cial success or mo-" said MT. Gillette, from an artistic standpoint it is con ceded by those who have attended the last three or four expositions, to be without a peer. In the first place the buildings lack the glaring white finish which characterized the Chi cago fair and was so trying to the eyesight of the visitors. The cream white finish blends most harmoniously with the artificial decorations and es- pecially with the natural landscapes which havo been left in many places.
 Tn the second place, the buildings are not so far apart as in preceding expositions, thus obviating long walks or rides from one to the other, and also giving an immense advantage for landscape gardening.
 The Alaska building is one of the first at hand from the gates of gen eral admission, and although plain in 1t outlines, is beautifully situated and sufficiently imposing to exemplify the growth and importance of the gl eat Northland. The Alaska eXhi- h are in common with many others, not yet fully installed, and 1t is i'm. possible therefor, to judge of their nature or extent. Those already in are we'll arranged, and with the en- ergy being exerted the entire exhibit should be in place at an early day.
 A few hotels have advanced prices contrary to their pre-expoGition pledg- Cs, but strenuous effort is being made by some of the more progress i've people there to prevent anything in the nature or spirit of graft.

FAIRBANKS Is
 CONSERVATIVE

William Fairbanks, superintendent of the Northern Commercial company
 who has been in Skagway for the past week awaiting the opening of navigation and who will leave for Whitehorse tomorrow, stated last night that his company anticipated that this seasons trade would fully equal that of last year, and that he considered last year prosperous one.
 Tt is impossible for me to say whether or not the Fairbanks quartz are permanent" said MT. Fairbanks. q do not think enough development work has been done to justify any prediction. But in the Bonnificld placer district, sixty miles west of Fairbanks, the work will be carried on this year in a bigger scale than ever before. The best indication of the state of things inside is the fact that all the hydraulic plants owned by our company have been purchased. There will be a great deal of activity on the placer properties"
