which communicated the energy to
the shafting of machinery hall and
amid the tumultous shouts of thou
sands the music of numerous bands
and the waving of flagsthe wheels
began toturn The great fair design
ed to exploit the industries and re

favorable auspices Everything moved

of the reat throngs and the animat

for the admittance of the public the
street cars on the Wallingford East
e and other lines leading from the
downtown section to the exposition

various structures on the grounds
were crowded early in the day and
toward noon the scene was one of
general activity Everything was in
motion The white buildings glittered
inr gay decorations the visitors car
ried flags in their hands and every
thing throughout the two hundred
acres washed on one side by the rip
T > ng waters of Lake Washington and

of a military and naval parade
through the exposition grounds The
procession comprised United States

rines from Admiral Sebrees Pacific
fleet and a detachment from Admiral

pressed the button which in this
case was made of Alaska marble and
ornamented with nuggets of solid gold
that started the wheels in machin
ery nail and thus actually opened the
great exposition
An artillery salute was fired imme
diately after the receipt of the mes
sage from President Taft and this
wasfollowed by a beautiful daylight

guests of honor adjourned to the New

luncheon was served The guests
numbered nearly three hundred and
included the visiting governors may

works of ornamentation completed
and the exhibits installed Through
out its vast extent the big fair opens
with every feature in readiness for
the welcome and entertainment of
the tens of thousands of visitors who

see the grounds and buildings of the
AlaskaYukonPacific Exposition be

other exposition could boast of so
glorious a sight as the panorama of
Mt Rainier Mt Baker and the gla
ciers of the Cascade Mountains of
which the most favorable view may
be obtained by the visitor from the
Cascades and the Gejser basin the
two principal ornamental features of
the exposition
Plan of the Exposition
The main buildings of the exposi
tion are grouped around the Cascades
and geyser basin They include the
large government building at the head
of the basin to the north and sym
metrically disposed on both sides of
the basin the Alaska Hawaii Fish
eries Mines Agriculture and Manu
factures buildings Back of Agricul
ture Hall toward The Pay Streak
which is the equivalent of Chicagos
Midway is the Foreign Exhibits
building while in a similar position
back of the Manufactures building is
the King County Exposition Hall Be
tween the building for foreign ex
hibits and The Pay Streak Is the
Canadian building and east of the
King county building aro located Ma
chinery Hall and its annex a struc
ture of the same size as Machinerj
Hall At the southern end of the
basin are the Music Pavilion and the
buildings of China and Japan sur
rounded by native villages and other

AVENUE BAPTIST CHURCH REV A D SPARKMAN PASTOR
model farm and the stock exhibit In
the extreme northeastern corner of
the grounds is the natural amphi
theatre around which are grouped the
large Forestry building several state
buildings the buildings of Oregon
Michigan Washington New York
Chicago California Missouri the
Arctic Brotherhood Chehalls Spo
kane and the Philippines Many of
the buildings are permanent struc
tures and will later become part of
the University of Washington The
enormous Auditorium the Fine Arts
building and several administration
and service buildings are grouped in
the northwestern pait of the grounds
Idaho has its building close to the
Fine Arts building
The Pay Streak
The amusement features of the ex
position upon which a great deal of
thought has been spent are grouped
around what is called The Pay
Streak It ocntains the usual attrac
tions which were seen at nearly every
one of the large expositions
and in addition many new features or
less common ones There is a village
of Siberian Eskimos an Igorrote vil
lage the Oregon Trail represent
ing pioneer life in the northwest a
Spanish theatre and a large arena
with a seating capacity of four thou
sand where during the exposition ath
letic contests of all kinds will be
held Another interesting feature is
the representation of a Klondike
placer mine and representations of
scenes along the Yukon trail
Many Interesting Exhibits
This Is the first exposition which
has not asked financial assistance of
the government The government
however has not neglected this fair
but has spent more for its buildings
and exhibits there than at any pre
One of the last photos taken of
Gen John H Reagan Texas Grand
Old Man and the last survivor of
the Confederate cabinet being post
mastergeneral under Jefferson Davis
Died in Palestine March G 1905 la
vious exposition The total cost will
exceed 600000 The Alaskan exhibit
is one of the most interesting owing
partly to the fact that it represents a
territory but little known in the
states east of the Rocky Mountains
Many of the states have erected fine
buildings The largest state building
is that of California which is con
structed in mission style Two other
buildings of unusual interest and of
attractive appearance are the forestry
building and the immense log cabin
built by the Arctic Brotherhood Both
buildings will later be used by the
University of Washington
Another remarkable feature of the
exposition is the fine collection of
totem poles from Alaska and the mag
nificent Exposition Monument eighty
feet high and covered with many thou
sand dollars worth of virgin gold
from the Yukon country All through
the grounds restaurants rest rooms
drinking fountains and other conveni
ences for the visitors have been lib
erally provided and the lighting ar
langements are excellent in all parts
of the grounds
