p. E. as Guests of Local Paper
Are Highly EIated With

Miss Alice Lane, district contestant
manager in the Statesman A.-f.-F.
contest, who visited the fair last week
as a result of her diligence in securing
subscribers to the paper, has returned
to her home in this city, having spent
ten DAYS on the Sound, Miss Lane and
Miss Arlie Rouanzion, a successful
contestant were among the first of the
young ladies to avail themselves OF the
magnificent pleasure jaunt of1red by
the Statesman, and their enjoyment or
the outing has but added to the antici-
nation of the young ladies who are to
follow them.
"The best feature of the fair in the
way of exhibits" said Miss Lane
yesterday afternoon, lis the Walla
Walla booth not alone in my opinion,
but in the opinion Of the majority OF
fair visitors. Everyone speaks or. the
excellent showing made by this coun-
ty, and a crowd of interested specta-
tors may always be found In the VIC
Unity of the booth"
According TO Miss Lane, the Queen
CITY is handling the enormous crowds
with little difficulty and hotel accom-
modations are to be obtained with ease
at reasonable rates. The Seattle peo-
pie are looking for the big attendance
later in the year, believing the open
ing month to have been but COM
mon-place one in point of attendance
from outside points. Street cars are
not crowded, and railroad service to
and from Seattle is about as usual
owing to the fact that many of the
companies have installed larger trains
and additional equipment for the
summer traffic
Miss Lane and Miss Rouanzoip We're
on the Sound ten days, and spent four
days visiting the fair. Miss Rouanzojn
went from Seattle to Portland, where
she will visit with friends before re-
turning to her home here. The young
ladies were shown every courtesy
while at the fair, and the trip was one
long to be remembered, the more so
as it was the first visit to a big ex-
position. In speaking of the exposit
ion grounds, Miss Lane gave special
mention to the Oregon, Washington.
Idaho and California buildings, say
ing they were among the finest struc-
lures to be seen there. The Japanese
building is attracting much attention,
and the Italian building, containing
numerous handsome works of art, is
the mecca of hundreds interested in
that line.
The PAY Streak" is drawing it's
share of the enormous crowds, and
everyone who visits the fair makes it
a point to visit the attractions there
Among the leaders are the battle be-
ND ho
the Igorrote village, the Esquimo vii
lage, the destruction of San Francisco,
the educated horse and the life saving
station.

While in Seattle Miss Lane saw a
number of Walla Wallans, all of them
taking in the fair and she brings good
report of their conduct while away
from home. Albert Muntinga, former
ly high school student of this city.
is employed as barker" for the For
mosa tea house on the exposition
grounds, and was even more enter
tanning than usual with a number OF
old friends as his auditors.
Taken as whole, Miss Lane con-
siders the trip was one of the most
delightful vacations she could have
taken, and she is high in her praise
of the manner in which details were
looked after. Everything had been
arranged for the comfort and conven-
ienca of the contestants and during
their stay in the Queen City, there was
not a duh moment. Miss Lane and
Miss Rouanzoin were, unknown to
themselves, photographed by a Times
representative and their pictures APP
peared in that paper, accompanied by
"wfte-up' of their trip
