While an unusually large attendance at
the exposition is composed OF people from

about the grounds or buildings the DIS

express great admiration for the Alaska

can hardly be surpassed.

hard to do justice to the magnificence of
this great northwest exhibit. or to cite
the many attractions about the grounds,
but possibly to one from the far east
none of the buildings will be found more
attractive than the Alaskan, the Canadian,
the Hawaiian and the California, the lat
ter using its products in the form of
various animals. for instance life-sized
elephant made of English walnuts and a
cow made of almonds.
