 Visitors at the 4. |. P. exposition compliment Ketchikan very highly on the exhibit prepared by the Ladies' Auxiliary of that place. The following extract of letter received by Mrs. J. F. Tompkins, president of the Douglass Ladies' Auxiliary, seems to coincide with opinions generally expressed by those who have visited the fair:
 "Our work looks very nice and com pares more than favorably with all other work except that of ketchikan and Nome. Nome has most wonder ful exhibit in art, and pupils of the 9th grade there sent better pictures than I can draw. Their painting is wonderful, but their actual school work in grammar, arithmetic, etc. , was not SO good as from Douglass. was very careful to examine the actual as well as the show ork. There is a better exhibit of art from Nome by 9th, 7th and Sth grade pupils than from the Portland high schools Tax ing everything in, l would give Ketchikan the prize, for everything is the best. They have splendid manual training exhibit, an art exhibit, school work is excellent, and the women's department is very fine. " Douglass Island News.
