Seattle, Wash, June 3.-Oficials
of the -Ynkon-Pacific exposi-
tion are highly elated today at the
large attendance that has marked
the opening days of the fair. On the
first day OF the exposition nearly 90.-
600 persons paid to enter the grounds

heavy rain early in the evening.
Despite cold and disagreeable wealth
er yesterday the attendance was IT,
.192.
In speaking c! he attendance at
the exposition, President Chilberg
said today:
THE mosc liberal estimate of the
attendance on the opening days, In
case of fair weather, was rs 700. Nat
urally, Il is most pleasant that the re-
suit Tuesday and yesterday was bet
ter than we had hoped. / have no
doubt that our original estimate for
the entire season, of from three to
three and a half million will be
achieved"
Today's program at the exposition
is an extensive and interesting one.
The entertainment began at $3.50
O'Clock, when the baseball game in
the stadium between the teams rep
resenting the mountain and coast ar
tiIlery started. Following this came
numerous band concerts, a flight by
the Stroebel airship over the city and
grounds. a parade of troops, a mill
tary tournament in the stadium and
exhibition by the United States life
saving crew, and many other attrac-
ion.
The weather today is beautiful,
and the attendance Is heavy.

A brief but important opinion was
handed down today by Attorney Gen.
eral Frank w. Clancy, which is con-
tanned in the following letter;
April 8, 1909.
Mr.. Edward r. Wright, Santa Rosa.
N. M.
Dear Sir: am in receipt Of your
letter of the 5th inst asking for an
opinion as to the powers of county
commissioners under Council bill No.
1913 of the last legislature, which will
be chapter 124 of the laws of 1909, to
classify lands for the purpose of tax
alton.
In the new law it is specifically
declared that for purposes of tava-
tion all lands shall be assessed at
their actual value in the same pro-
portion as other property may be as
sessed, and that the assessors and
county commissioners are authorized
and required to classify all lands ac-
cording to their value, and to assess
the same for taxation accordingly
which classification and valuation
shall govern in all assessments for
taxation.
1t appears to me, as see that it
does to you, that the act in question
commits the matter entirely to the as
SCISSORS and county commissioners OF
the several counties. 1t is the last leg
lslative expression on the subject, and
fully covers the subject so that any
previously existing power in any 9TH
er body. like the Territorial Board of
is taken away.
Yours truly,
FRANK w. CLANCY,
Attorney General.

A FOND DREAM
COMING TRUE
Plans for Santa Fe's New Hotel Have
Been Received and the Project
Will Be Pushed.

| Santa Fe is soon to realize one of
its fondest dreams in the actual ma
terialization Of first class modern,
( high class tourist hotel Some
time ago the New Mexican chronicled
the announcement that an option had
been secured on the property at the
corner OF Palace and Lincoln avenues,
coupled with the statement that a
large new hotel was to be erected. The
plans of the new wsstructure are now in
the hands of John P. Wag-
ner, who is heading the promotion Of
the scheme. The plans will have to
be gone over carefully and all details
decided upon before any actual work
can be begun, but Mr.. Wagner as.
sures the public that it will not be far
in the future before the work on the
hotel will be started in earnest. Two
styles of architecture have been sub.
mitted, the Spanish style and the Mis-
sion style. In all probability the lat
WI SlyiC w III NC tHC Ollt CAObCu do IL
is more in keeping with the historic
background of Santa Fe. The build
ing is to be three stories and a large
basement and will comfortably house
several hundred people. A large, spa
cious entrance will open into a mag
nificent and commodious lobby. This
on the first floor. On either side will
be drawing and writing rooms and in
the rear a large, well equipped dining
hall. A great wide staircase on either
side will lead to the second floor, J
which will be fitted out in suites of
rooms, each suite connected with a
private bath. The third floor will be !
devoted to rooms somewhat smaller in |,
size, but thoroughly convenient and
modern. Most of the rooms will have |
in connection a private bath. In !
the basement of the structure pro-
vision has been made for a large au-
ditorium. Back of this will be large
and elegant grill room. On one side
Of the basement there will be baths
Tor ladies and large plunge. A SIM
lar provision will be made for men on
he other side. There will also be
part reserved for large bowling alleys.
To be brief, nothing has been over
ooked that goes to make up hotel
hat is bound to attract the travelling
public and go towards making Santa
0e stopping off point for tourists In
act it will wipe out the argument so
ong used against this town, namely,
hat it is not we'll enough equipped
With tourists hotels. 1t has
'een only short while since repre-
sentative of a New York tourist syn
ictate stated that Santa Fe was not on
he list of stopping points of the tours
'otten up by various eastern syndi-
'ates, this in spite of its great attrac. ,
ions and simply because of it's lack

lotel accommodations otherwise.
With this new hotel and the archae-
