LAST WEEK OF THE BIG FAIR
EXECUTIVE COMMISSIONER
CERNING ACCOMPLISHMENT

Washington State Building. Seattle
Oct. 1.-THE Daily World, Wenat-
chez: Gentlemen: The A.-Y.-P. ex-
position held in the state of Washing
ton is drawing to a close. The COM
mission of the state of Washington
at this exposition has endeavored to
accomplish two things.
First-To have every resource of
the state represented in an attractive
manner.
Second-To so arrange the exhibit
of each resource as to be effective.
The commission of the state of
Washington has constantly worked
with the one idea in mind, that, mas
much as the state would expend the
money of the taxpayers of the state,
1t was but reasonable that this money
should be considered by them an in
vestment and not gift, and that
positive returns should accrue to the
taxpayers of the state.
In the first place this commission
erected seven buildings in which to
place part of the states exhibit. These
buildings are the Washington State
building, which is conducted at all
times for the people; the forestry
building the Educational building,
the Good Roads building. the Wom-
ans building. the Dairy building and
the Model Daily barn Every one of
these seven buildings erected by the
Washington state commission have
been selected by the board of regents
of the state university for permanent
use by the university. They have
served the purpose of exhibit build
ings for the state and will save the
taxpayers of Washington the expense
of additional university buildings for

many years to come.
The mineral industry of the state
has had an exhibit of representative
ores from every mineral bearing Sec
ton of the state. Over five hundred
and sixty separate exhibits have been
made in this department, and ap-
proximately two hundred and fifty
tons of minerals, exclusive of clay
and coal are on display. Cement,
clay and coal are well represented;
cement and clay by effective working
displays.
The Educational department has
endeavored to demonstrate to all WIS.,
itors, especially the prospective set
tier, the advanced position of the
state of Washington in school mat
tiers. A domestic science and man
ual training class was maintained up
to the opening of the school year. The
endeavor has been to demonstrate to
prospective settlers that the state Of
Washington is fully abreast of the
time in school affairs.
The lumber industry, the fishing
and oyster industries, the historical
department and the health depart
ment are each attractively and eff
fectively displayed in the Forestry
building. The purpose of the for
estry and fisheries exhibits was main
ly to create a greater market for the
products of these departments.
The dairy industry is represented
in the Dairy building by an operat-
ing creamery as well as exhibits of
butter and cheese from many sections
of the state. The model dairy barn
is what the name indicates, and is in
charge of a competent herdsman.
Four breeds of cattle are on display,
and careful milk and butter test Is
being made. This model dairy barn
was constructed with view of dem
onstrating the advantages of modern
dairy barn construction and santa
ton. Plans and specifications of this
barn can be had free of charge by re-
quest of the state dairy inspector.
One of the most comprehensive and
effective displays of the states re-
sources is in the Agricultural build
ing. Thirty-six out of the thirty
eight counties in this state made
striking displays of their varied re-
sources. The state commission as
sisted the counties by building their
booths, paying freight and express
charges, and in other ways, with
which assistance the smallers coun-
ties of the state were enabled to par
ticipate, and without such assistance
many of these counties could not
have been represented, and they
were the ones most needing settlers.
Without an exception every county
reports direct and positive returns
from their display. These county
displays won the admiration of all
visitors
One feature to which we desire
especially to call attention is the
loyalty of all sections of the state to
the state as a whole. At no former

The great annual mela or fair at

be exact 1850 tons of fresh water

Carp and buffalo weighing from three

amount, with the carp constituting
fully two-thirds OF the shipments. -

Another Sign Of the Times.

Veruacular papers are aglow over
the starting Of a new spinning and
weaving industry at Tsingyuen, in
the Kwangtung province of China.
Some time ago few gentlemen OF
Tsingyuen dubbed together and sent
forth youths to study the spinning
and weaving industries-presumably
in Japan-that they might learn and
become familiar with the craft. These
young men having learned the work,
returned to their native place. The
gentry, headed by Chan Sul-ying, then
formed themselves into company
and sought and obtained permission
from the officials to start factories in
Tsingyuen city They have already
begun work on small scale, and arc
able to weave wooden cloth, as well
as drills, and sundry other kinds OF
materials worn by the Chinese. 1t
is reported that the work is we'll done
and that there is good market for
the commodities in Canton and 9TH
er places in the delta.-London and

There iu quiet path OF sleep
That leads as back to God;
One sanctuary that remains
When all carth's paths are trod.
Away, away. from frctful sound,
From light and thought and carei
o part the hidden. loafy gates
And let me breathe rs air.
Cool fingers for the lidded eyes
The zephyrs thero shall bring,
Tho while we glide and dream and
drift
From every sordid thing
Through shaded avenues OF rest
Where toll was never known,
Where God IN Ills great mercy
broods,
And mends and heals His own.
Awake, our foes are round about,
Our watch must coaseless be,
But sleep, and they are put to rout'
Forget, and they will fee
Heirs, bid at last TO come and share
Eternitys calm sweep,
We, with the ages. drop all care
To sleep--to sleep--to sleep.
In helpless. glad surrender there
The soul lies bare and prone,
Till washed and bleaohed as glitter
ing snow
On mountain SUBMITS blown.

The answer freely given,
How sweetly blow thy piny winds
From of the hills OF heaven!

The balm for all our need.

The alleged bogus burial of the
Duke OF Portland as bruce makes
one think OF John Wroe. He died
in Collingwood, Melbourne, Febru-
airy 8, 1863, aged 81, and yet some
fanatics appear to believe that he Is
still alive, inasmuch as he is report
ed to have said he would never die.
Johanna Southcott died in 1914 aged
Ga. Her followers believed she would
give birth to the Messiah, says the
Imperial Review. Sir doctors testl-
fed that they would believe she was
about to become a mother If she was
young enough. A silvered cradle
costing e20O was prepared for the
infant and e10O more was spent in
gold spoons, pap boats and what not.
Wroe was her principal follower.
With her sect as nucleus he form
ed the Christian Israelites. He
preached his doctrines for nearly half
century throughout Britain, Eu-
rope, America and Australia.
A follower named Stanley gave

built at Ashton, England. Afterward

A California judge has adopted
novel but very rational methods of
cultivating a sentiment of growing
self-respect in paroled criminals.
His plan is neither more nor less
than that of requiring the paroled
prisoner to set aside a fixed sum
from his earnings, varying according
to their amount to be deposited in a
savings bank, to furnish the basis
of a new start in life at the expira-
ton of his sentence This method
is based upon sound knowledge Of
