'It will unquestionably be the most
beautiful exposition ever held in the
world and the remarkable progress you
have made so far ahead of the opening
date amazes me," said Charles Dana
Gibson, the creator of the "Gibson
Girl, "after a trip over the grounds;
where the West is building the Alaska- j
Yukon-Pacific Exposition which will
be held in Seattle from June 1 to Oc-1
tober 16, 1909.
Mr. Gibson stood at the head of the
Cascade Court, the central decorative
feature of the grounds. Straight in
front of him but 80 miles away Mount
.Riinier,. the highest mountain peak in
the United States reared its head un-
Jtil its snow covered crest was lost in j
the white fleecy clouds that hovered j
around it. To his left the Cascades !
,made . a rugged outline against the
aky and to his right the Olympics rose
to majestic height from the shores of
the Pacific Ocean. Away off to the
northwest the Selkirks carried a sea of
snow-capped peaks to the distant
horizon. In the immediate foreground,
through stately pine trees that have so
far withstood the march of progress,
Lake Washington glittered. It was
a December morning but Mr. Gibson
and Norman E. Hapgood, editor of
Collier's Weekly, who was with him,
wore in their button holes roses they
had plucked as they strolled over the
exposition grounds.
"I ha've made no particular hobby of
expositions," continued Mr. Gibson,
but I have been to all those held in
' recent years and from what you have
j already here combined with the lav
j ish manner in which nature has done
; her share for you, I think I am safe
! in saying that this will be the most at-

Liberty Precinct Citizen Who
Died Some Days Ago Was
a Unique Figure.
Horn July 4, 1861, two miles south
east of here. Died at 3:20 Friday af
ternoon, Dec. 11, 1908, at home of his
brother, Eli M. Smith, five miles north
east of Union. ,
The death of Russell Smith was no
surprise to people of this part of the
! countv, as it has been known for some
time that he was broken in health and
that his death would be the result. In
his early life he was an invalid, and he
was never a robust man and met with
numerous misfortunes. His father left
him a farm of 100 acres south of this
village, and this lias been his support
since his father's death. His health
has failed very rapidly ever since he j
suffered a stroke of paralysis about a
year ago, being helpless much of the
Senator Burkett Addresses the
Senate on Postal Sav
ings Banks.
Senator Elmer J. Burkett of Ne
braska made a strong speech Thursday
in the senate, in support of postal sav
ings banks. The Washington corres
pondent to'the Omaha Ree in referring
to the speech says:
"Senator Burkett in his speech today
in favor of the postal savings banks,
wa listened to by a large majority of
the senate. His arguments were closely
followed and those who heard the
speech say it was along proper lines
and that it cannot be answered. It
was in all essentials a particularly j
good speech and in line with his party's j
platform.
Referring to the many plans that
have been suggested for the rejuvena
tion of the present banking system.
Mr. Burkett said that all of them
would fail to completely meet the
situation because they eliminated from
consideration the great class of de
positors that the postal bankB are in- j
tended to provide for.
The fear of the bankers that the
postal savings institution would make
an unwelcome competitor we do not
believe to be well founded, said Senator
Burkett, and he expressed the. opinion
that the postal institution would do in
America as they had in every other
country, take care of themselves and
build up their own clientele from
entirely different sources than that
from the present depositors in banks.
He said that while they might draw
some deposits from their present
channels, the percentage would be so
small that it would be more than offset j
by additional depositors that the de- j
posit habit would build up.
