The Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Ex
oosition was not a commemora
tive fair as was the Centennial
Exposition in 1876, the mother
of expositions, which commemo
rated the Declaration ot Inde
pendence of America ; the Chi
cago World's Fair, the discovery
by Columbus ; the St. Louis Ex
position, the purchase of Louis
iana territory in 1803 ; the Lewis
and Clark Exposition at Port
land, Oregon, that of our first
great exploration across the con
tinent; and the Jamestown Ex
position, the first permanent
English settlement at James
town, Va.. in 1607. While the
Seattle fair was not based upon
historical events, it was just as
educative and valuable as if it
were founded upon some fact in
our nation's history, venerable
and hoary with age. Its purpose
was to deal with the future rather
than the past ; to exploit the re
sources of the Pacific coast states,
Alaska, the Yukon territory, and
all of the countries bordering on
the Pacific ocean. Every country
washed by the waters of the
Pacific were partners in the A.
Y. P. Exposition, and an active
interest was taken by each coun
try in iproviding exhibits. One
particular object was to correct
the common idea that Alaska
and the Yukon territory was the
land only of snow and ice, some
gold, Indians and a few mission
aries. Site of Kipoitlon--Butlfal Ground.
The location of the Exposition
was ideal. It is only twenty
minutes ride from the business
center of Seattle. The grounds
cover 250 acres of the unused
campus of the Washington Uni
versity. Wt. Ranier is to the
south of the grounds: to the
northeast are the Selkirk moun
tains, and to the west the snow
crested peaks of the Olympic,
while in the foreground are
Lakes Union and Washington.
Great care has been taken by the
landscape gardeners to protect
the large trees in the forests as
far as possible. One of the most
distinctive features of the Expo
sition is the magnificent floral
display which surpasses any I
have seen anywhere. On the
graceful slope of the grounds
millions of flowers were bloom
ing, and such fine flowers could
grow nowhere except in this
wonderfully fertile northwest
230,000 rose bushes were put out,
to say nothing of the beautiful
California poppies, Shasta daisies

ADVICE TO WOMEN.
A Message trom a Famous Beauty Spe
cialist to Women Lacking in Energy
and Vitality.
Thousands of women vainly at
tempt to improve their complexions
ana to remove black neaas. crows
feet ani ether blemishes, through
use of cosmeticts. This treatment
fails because the trouble lies far
deeper than the skin. They are
suffering from impure and impover-
isnea blood. This condition is in
' many cases due to a catarrhal con
dition of the whole system which
finds its expression in sallow, mud
dy complexion, darkcircled eyes
general weakness of the system, and
perhaps most plainly in the weep
ing of mucous membranes that is
-commouly called catarrh.
In fact this whole tendency is,
properly speaking, Catarrh. Ban

The Kxpoattton' Monument Malu
Buildings.
The Exrtositinn Monument-, is
in a plaza in tront of the U. B.
Government Building. It is 80
feet high and it is covered with
gold from Alaska and the Yukon
About $7,000 worth of gold was
used on it- At the base of it are
four figures emblamatic of the
northland, the Southern Pacific
countries, the Pacific coast and
the Southern seas.
The main buildings of the Ex
position are grouped around this
plaza. They include the Agri
culture, Manufacture, State Fish
eries, Mines, Machinery, Fine
Arts, Transportation, Foreign,
Auditorium, Forestry, U. S.
Government, Canada, Japan,
Alaska, Hawaii, Philippines and
Government Fisheries. Eight
buildings are of permanent con
struction and were turned over
to the University of Washington
when the fair closed in October.
This is the first time that perma
nent buildings have been erected
for an exposition. Six hundred
and five thousand dollars were
spent in buildings that were ad
ded to those owned by the Uni
versity. Several states of the
Union had buildings as well as
several of the counties of the
State of Washington, in which
were exhibits illustrative of re
sources and industries.

The Forestry building is the
real gem of the exposition. It is
goes only with perfect health, and
perfect health for women can only
be obtained through one certain
treatment that which will cure
catarrh.
Mme. Swift, New York, the fam
ous beauty specialist known
throughout the world and an accept
ed aut hority on all relating thereto,
states that the one positive and per
manent relief for catarrh is Eexall
Mucu-Tone. Here is her letter:
"I can Btrongly endorse the
claims made for Rexall Mncu-Tone
as a cure for systemic catarrh. Its
tonic effects are remarkable. It
builds up the strength and restores
vitalitv. If women who r tirori
and run down, lacking in energy
uau viuiuy, win use Kexall Mucu
Tone, they will praise as I do its
strengtheninar and healinz anali
ties."
Eexall Mucu-Tone works through
the blood, actinsr thus nnnn t.hn

forestry building for the Wash
ington University and will be used
as a museum of natural history

of whom is getting larger year

Ala.ka Building.
Perhaps the most interesting
of all the buildings at the expo
sition was the Alaskan building
in which were housed exhibits
characteristic of the country,
about which so little heretofore
has been known, especially by
Eastern and Southern people.
Beautiful pictures of the towns
of Alaska formed part of the
decorations for the side walls,
while the center of the building
was full of every imaginable exhibit-
The Treadwell mine, of
Douglas Island, Alaska, had a
most valuable exhibit, which per
haps aggregated a value of half
a million dollars. There were
several gold bricks worth $32,
000 each and nuggets from the
size of a pea up to a large size.
(Am afraid to tell, for I would
be accused cf having caught the
western contagion ) The Copper
River Railroad had a booth, in
which a plan of the country
through which their road was
built, was reproduced in plaster
mould. Magnificent display of In
dian basketry, as well as agricul
ture and other displays. School
children of Alaska were well rep
resented by all kinds of work. A
miniature salmon cannery was
in operation in order that this in
dustry might be fully understood.
Men and women who were in
charge of the Alaskan building
took great interest in telling vis
itors of Alaskan wonders.
The Hawaiian. Oriental and
Japanese buildings were unique
and interesting, full of exhibits
from each country. Curios were
on sale and at a price in keeping
with usual prices at fairs. In
the Hawaiian building pineapple
from Hawaii was served, and
by the way, it had a most deli
cious flavor. Tea houses and
lunch rooms were very much in
evidence as well as the usual ex
position "spielers" who sold pos
tal cards and guide books. The
cascades presented a most beau
tiful picture, especially at nieht.
