TOO SOON
A'a>ka-Ynkon Exp isiti-n to
Be Postponed
[Special Dispatch to Daily Alaskan.)
Seattle, Dae. 5? The committee on
permanent organization of the Alaska
Vuv on Exposition recommends that the
fair be postponed from 1907 until 1 5)0!>.
This conclusion has been arrived at for
the rea>on that the Jamestown exposi
tion is dattd to occur in 1907 and would ,
necessarily detract from the attendance
at the exposition at Seattle. This post
ponement means that local aspiration
has already outgrown the Alaskan pro
ject and that tho present ambition of
the pushing people of Seattle is a full
fledged world's fa r at which Alaska
and the Yukon will be side-tracked to
but a feature of the show though of
course the northern exhibit is expected
to be a salient attraction and perhups
the central figure of the exposition.
