THE SEATTLE EXPOSITION
Seattle, July 26. The exhibit of
the territory of Alaska shown at the
Alaska-Yukon-Pacific exposition, has
for genuine interest and educational
value never been excelled by a form
er exposition. The enormous build
ing erected by the federal govern
ment for the purpose of exploitation
of the northern territory, b crowded
with a collection of articles repre
senting every source of wealth of
the land. The products along agri
cultural lines, tho results of the
fisheries, the forests, minerals, the
ethnology of the northern aborgine
and the flora and fauna are elabo
rately represented.
As gold was the loadstone break
ing down the barriers of the Arctic
couptry, so it is one of the magnets
of the exhibit buildings of the ex
position; the grim, steel cage in the
center of the floor shows a gleam
ing pile of bricks, nuggets and dust,
taken from the placer deposits of
our northern possessions. Visitors
never tire of watching the dull flash
of the light over the yellow surface,
and on leaving, are almost sure to
return for a last look before quitting
the building.
Gold in the quartz, In the sand
of the river banks and yet bearing
the precious metal, represent all the
different sections of the land; ma
chinery and the methods for separat
ing it from the dross earth and rock
are shown and their operation ex
plained. The baser minerals are all
found in Alaska and they are all
fully displayed, anthracite and pe
troleum from the districts about Ka
tella show tho most valuable de
posits known on earth. Iron, cop
per, antimony and the many metal
producing rock are all exhibited and
with them are lucid explanations and
descriptions from government offi
cials. It is the agricultural way, how
ever, that the great surprise of the
exhibit is found. A great pile of
vegetables confronting one as the
main doors are passed, and the size,
variety and quality are bewildering.
All cereals, grains and many ber
ries and fruits grow to perfection,
and what the . country of Alaska
gives definite promise of to the tiller
of the soil is almost unbelievable.
A corner of the main room is de
voted to a magnificent panorama,
and standing on the raised platform
of this, an Alaskan scene of moun
tain, valley and rushing streams pre
sents a' picture of exceptional beauty
and vividness. It depicts the miner
at work amid the glazier covered
hills, and the changes of morning,
noon, evening and night are accom
plished in a startlingly realistic
manner.
In display cases arranged about
the entire room, are displayed col
lections of Indian implements and
specimens of their crude art, which
can not be duplicated even in the
territory itself. Arts and crafts
which flourished years ago have be
come obsolete and forgotten, and
such specimens as remained at the
advent of the white man have been
mostly lost or destroyed. Of these,
the only examples in existence are
those secured by early settlers who
were provident enough to become
collectors In a modest way. The ex
position exhibit contains these spe
cimens gathered from every corner
of Alaska and Yukon. The educa
tional advancement of the Indian is
demonstrated by work from the
many public schools, and constitutes
a valuable exhibit. It has been
gathered with the utmost care and
judgment and from it can be gleaned
a splendid Idea of what the little
school house is accomplishing in de
veloping the people native to the
land of the midnight sun.
Letters from the People
H. W. McDonald, Gallon, Ohio..
Democrats here are all interested in
increasing the circulation of Tho
Commoner, but those "conditional
orders" failing to get in on schedule
time, prevents many from investing
in anything but tho actual necessi
ties of life a condition which aristo
crats claim best becomes "the un
thinking public." Wonder if our
people will ever learn that there is,
in reality, but two parties in this
country and that they are, as you
properly class them, aristocratic and
democratic? Emboldened by its con
tinued success in hoodwinking tho
masses, the aristocratic party is now
making a record so plain that a way-
