FAIRBANKS IS
CONSERVATIVE
William Fairbanks, superintendent
of the Northern Commercial company
who has been in Skogway for the
past week awaiting the opening of
navigation and who will leave for
Whitehorse tomorrow, stated last
night that his company anticipated
'lint this season's trade would fully
equal that of last year, and that he
considered last year a prosperous one.
"It is impossible for me to say
whether or not the Fairbanks quartz
are permanent," said Mr. Fairbanks.
"I do not think enough development
work has been done to justify any
prediction. But in the Bonnifield
placer district, sixty miles west of
Fairbanks, the work will be carried
on this year in a bigger scale than
ever before. The best indication of
the state of things inside is the fact
that all the hydraulic plants owned
by our company have been purchased.
There will be a great deal of activity
on the placer properties." ?

A. T. P. FAIR IS
GIVEN PRAISE
Attorney L. R. Gillette of Juneau,
paid this office a visit last evening,
having arrived on the Dolphin en
route inside on a business trip. Speak
ing of the A.-Y.-P. Exposition, ho
stated that the fair is proving a
financial success even though its pat
ronage is, as yei, largely local. At
the time he left on the fifth inst.,
there were few eastern people arriv
ing and up to the night of the 4th
the attendance was estimated at 150,
000.
"Whether the fair proves a finan
cial success or no," said Mr. Gillette,
"from an artistic standpoint it is con
ceded by those who have attended the
last three or four expositions, to be
without a peer. In the first place
the buildings lack the glaring white
finish which characterized the Chi
cago fair and was so trying to the
eyesight of the visitors. The cream
white finish blends most harmoniously
with the artificial decorations and es
pecially with the natural landscapes
which have been left in many places.
"In the second place, the buildings
are not so far apart as in preceding
expositions, thus obviating long walks
or rides from one to the other, and
also giving an immense advantage
for landscape gardening.
The Alaska building is one of the
first at hand from the gates of gen
eral admission, and although plain in
it outlines, is beautifully situated
and sufficiently imposing to exemplify
th? growth and importance of the
gieat Northland. The Alaska exhi
l>"s are in common with many others,
not yet fully installed, and it is im
possible therefor, to Judge of their
nature or extent. Those already in
are well arranged, and with the en
ergy being exerted the entire exhibit
should be In place at an early day.
A few hotels have advanced priccs
contrary to their pre-exponition pledg
es, but a strenuous effort is being
made by some of the more progress
ive people there to prevent anything
in the nature or spirit of graft.
