COROOVA AT THE EXPOSITION
 AT FRISCO

E. A. Hegg returned on the Mari posa last evening after having spent some weeks in the states, much of which was at the Panama Pacific Exposition at San Francisco, where a number of the handsome views taken by him are on exhibition.
 Mir Hegg pays a high tribute to the exposition, stating that it far sur passes any he has ever seen.
 Regarding the Alaska exhibits he states that in the mineral line Cordoya is represented by an exhibit that's far ahead of any other section of the North. In fact the many specimens sent by the Cordova Chamber of Com merce. constitute an exhibit that Is more than equal to the combined showing of all the rest of Alaska. This exhibit has been given a prom inent position in the mines building, where it is attracting a great deal Of attention
 Another Alaska exhibit is that of the Alaska Steamship Company. This is in the transportation building, where it occupies an extremely novel and handsome booth. Over the entrance to the booth in relief is a picture of Cordova, and the wharf and bay, which Is very handsomely executed. Inside the booth, which is so situated that almost every visitor to the build ing must pass through, are many views of Cordova, the bay and scenes along the railroad. These are enlargements made by MT. Hegg, handsomely color ed, and depict the beauties of this section of Alaska from a scenic point of view. The huge photo of Miles glacier, which adorend Mir Hegg's window here for some time, is also in cluded in the number.
 Still another Alaska exhibit in the transportation building is that of the Pacific Coast Company, which is To- cated near that of the Alaska Steam ship Co. This is also decorated with Alaska views, the largest one being a picture of Muir glacier. In the booth is a native engaged in carving totem poles and native woman weaving baskets. Many curios from Alaska are also on exhibition.
 These two latter exhibits, MT. Hegg states, are attracting as much or more attention than any other feature of the fair. They are continually surround ed by large crowds, all anxious to learn something of the country which is so much before the public eye at present, and those in charge are busy throughout the day passing out pam phlets descriptive of Alaska and an swering a multitude of questions pro pounded by the throngs which contin- ually gather.
 MT. Hegg is extremely well pleased with his trip, and predicts that the fair will prove of wonderful value in advertising Alaska to the people all over the states who are fiocking to the big fair.
