[YONs' FAMOUS FAIR
 GROWS IN IMPORTANCE

LYONS, France, May g. The first piles have just been driven for the foundation of the palace ill which the Lyons Fair will be held hereafter. The building will cover thirty acres of ground alongside the park of the Tete dor on the banks of the Rhone, and will accommodate 4,0O0 exhibitors. The cost is estimated at 20,000,000 francs. This outlay is justified on the ground that the gross receipts from last years fair were 100000 francs.
 The remarkably increased interest of American firms in the enterprise was the outstanding feature of the last fair They numbered 543 as against 25 in 1916, and the United States passed from sixth in impor tance among foreign exhibitors to the first rank, with more than four times as many exhibitors as any other for eign country. The figures were: American, 543; English, 13O; Swiss 114; Spanish, 33; Italian, 40; Dutch g.
 Business approaching 500,OO0,O0C francs was transacted. This exceeds the business done at the Leipzig fair in 1914 when the organizers announc' ed total of 300,OO0 OOO marks.
 The Palais de la Foire as it will be called will furnish office accomoda tions to exhibitors as we'll as stands, warehousing facilities, rail transpor tation to doors of the palace and am pie provision will be made for clear ing exhibits through the customs at offices on the grounds.

JAPANESE ARE
 SUSPICIOUS IT
 UNITED STATES

TOXIC, May g. Some misgivings as to the policy of the United States as affecting Siberia recently have found expression in the Japanese house of representatives. Conviction that Japan should pay close attention to the activity of the United States in Russian territory was expressed by Manitsu Tanaka in a speech in the house recently. This activity, he said, might be designed to obtain rights and interests of various kinds. Tana- ka said he believed that if America attained it's object a hard blow would be dealt to the interests of the Japan csc empire.
 He thought that American sympa- thy for Russia was largely due to her ambition to implant her influence there by utilizing the present oppor- tunity for investing her large capital in an extensive area of Russian ter ritory, to exploit Russia's vast nat ural resources and to help forward Russia's civilization. To speak frank ly, he believed that another object of the United States in showing sympa- thy to Russia might be to check tLe advance of Japanese influence north wards.
 The speaker also referred to a ru. | nor that the United States was try | ing to purchase Kamchatka, which he said he believed America coveted for its economic value and perhaps be- ! cause America had an idea of instit- uting gigantic scheme of communi- cation between the three continents of America, Asia and Europe.
 There is no confirmation, however, of the rumor referred to by repre-. sentative Tanaka.

AS THEY SHOP IN GUATEMALA
Visiting 10 Principal Feature Of Buy.
Ing Expeditions, Business q Later

"Our own way is always the best
way" said philosopher who under
stood human nature, and why every
body else does not go our way Is a
cause Of constant surprise. For In
stance, in shopping.
How would you like to shop In
Guatemalai They are very polite
people, and on coming into the store,
will pass some remarks about the
weather, and ask how business is. Then
comes string of questions about the
health of the proprietor and all his re-
lations and friends; and when all the
questions are asked, the proprietor
turns around and asks the same Ques-
tiOns Of you. Then the proprietor
gets down to business, and takes down
all his stock, which is all examined and
priced, and then you say you will go
home and think about 1t.
The next day, you return with the
whole family--men, women, children
and visitors-all the salutatlons are re-
peated, and all the stock displayed
again. After two or three hours Of
this sort of thing, you buy perhaps a
ynrd Of muslin, and have II charged on
80 or 90 days time. This so delights
the proprietor, that he follows you to
the door, and asks all the questions Of
your health all over again. 1t is nee0-
less to say that Guatemalan merchants
were never known to get rich.

SOWING TREE SEED IN SNOW
National Forests Of the Country Are
Planted Each Year to Make
Bare Land Productive.

To keep the national forests Of the
United States, which are scattered
from Alaska to Porto Rico, up to
standard, 1900 to 1900 acres have
to be reforested or planted each year.
The bare lands must be made produc.
tive and the thin stands Of wood must
be improved. To do this requires an
immense amount Of labor.
Companies Of men travel over these
forests, sowing the seed broadcast over
the snow In the various barren sec
tions. As the snow melts the seed
sinks deeper and deeper and when the
snow disappears entirely the seed is
already covered over with SUFFICIENT
dirt to give 1t q bed In which to grow.
The chief disadvantage Of the meth.
cd, according to a contributor to one
Of the scientific publications, is that
the seed is conspicuous on snow and
likely to be eaten by birds. After
few days Of sunshine 1t soon disap.

WHAT A DAY!

The wind can make q man button his coet tight, the sun can force him to take off his coat, but It takes a day like Skagway had this day to make persons wash windows. someone started the thing last night when the windows the Pacific Steamship O., were washed clean, yes CLEAN. This morning, bright and early the windows of L. E. Reynoldson's express and steam sh.p office were given shine hard tU equal; then followed scrub ping of the cable office windows, and before noon the idea had struck the whole town and nearly all Broao way was given window cleaning.
 Everyone remarks on the day. Early this morning before the sun arose, blue clouds could be seen In the north, and. about nine o'clock hay cloud hung down in front of A. B. mountain so that the peak could be seen from under meath and the shadow of the peak could be seen on the cloud above, making an ideal curtain picture for theatre. Such days as this are what bring people to SkagwaX for summer vacations.
