NOTES ON THE SEATTLE FAIR
Two hundred men and sixty teams
urp at work preparing the ground for
the Pay StreBk at the Alas'* a-Yukon
Pac tic exposition which will be he'd in
Seattle next year. The great pleasure
resort will contain one hundred of the
biggtst and nest features.
A careless miser some years ago
buried his gold in the forest which is
now a part of the grounds of the Uni
versity of Washington, at Seattle.
Recently grsders at wor* clearing the
grounds, for the exposition unearthed
the hoard, which was turned over to
the police. If the owner Joes not
show up, the laborers will get the
money, $9(50.
The 190(1 encampment of the United
Spanish War Yetera> s will be held In
Tac>ma during the exposition at Se
attle. Last month the first camp of
U. S. T. V. in Alaska was organized in
Fairbanks. It started with 60 mem
bers. Another is to be organized at
Nome. Both will have delegates ut
the 1909 encampment.
Honolulu, T. II., Oct. 8? Much in
terests is being taken here in the plan*
for Hawaii's representation at the
Alaska-Yukon-P?ciflc Exposition to be
held in Seattle next summer, and there
is no doubt that the "Crossroads of the
Pacific" will make a very attractive
showing at the big show. The com
mission appointed to arrange for the
territory's representation has already
held a number of meetings atd a gen
eral outline of the exhibit to be made
is beginning to atsume shape. It
is possible that a pnnnramic ropresen
tation of the Volcano of Kilauea,
one of the greatest natural wonders
of tho world will be arranged for by a
syndicate as an attraction of the "Pay
Streak," as Seattle's Midway will
be kr.own. The voloano has been
more active during the past three
months than in many years, and it
is being studied by artists with a
view to its reproduction on canvas and
red-tire.
The Plymouth church, of Seattle,
every year sends a huge box containing
Christmas presents to the native ch.l
dren of the Arctic side of Alaska and
Siberia. List year each Eskimo
youngster received a Tedi'y Bear. This
year bright colored, warm, knit jerseys
will be sent, as well as a box of candy.
Some of these youngsters will be in the
Eskimo village at the exposition next
year.
