H,There will be all kinds of side trip
to be bail a trifle to those who care to

Navy Yard or Alaska Points.
Many will go from hero to the big
fair, l»e one of the girls to go with
them and enjoy' the finest trip in all
the world without one cent of cost.
From the standpoint of the lover of
the boautiful, no world's fair in his
tory will compare with this Ex{»osi
tion.
The Cascades and Geyser Basin
form the center of the general decora
tive scheme. Surrounding both of
them are sunken gardens that will be
rich in bloom for the whole exposi
tion peri«!. Beyond them are the
formal gardens and lawns, the vista
on the grounds ending in groves of
native evergreens. Above these in
the distance stands the highest moun
tain in the United States—llanier—

It has been just two weeks since we placed upon sale the very choicest of G-rangeville's Resident Lots at a special price of less than One
Half their value as compared with any other property in the city.
We knew these lots would sell just as soon as people with money and business judgment could be induced to go and look at them. But we
have been astonished at the number of business men who have disregarded storms of the past two weeks to go upon the ground and investigate.

The result has been that one-half of the entire addition is already sold. We think that the well known business sagacity of our customers
is sufficient guarantee that we did not overstate the matter when we recommended this property as the best investment in the city.
A partial list of purchasers who will help to improve this property and make it the ideal home location of the city are as follows:
J. I. OVERMAN. County Recorder; J. M. WILSON, County Assessor; J. A. BRADBURY, Manager Inland Abstract and Investment Comprny;
L. A. WISENER, Editor Free Press; E. A. CARPENTER, Editor Standard-News; DR. Gh S. STOCKTON, Physician and Surgeon.
The owner has authorized us, for a limited time only, to sell a few more choice lots at a price that makes the property STILL
THE BEST BUY IN TOWN. We don't need the money. We consider the property first-class security. Your credit is good.
$15 Cash and $5 per Month will secure you a Lot.

against the clear blue sky of the
Pacific Coast as to seem much nearer,
Mount Kanier is south of the Exposi
tion grounds; to the northeast are the
Selkirk mountains, and to the west
the snow-crested heads of the Olym
pics make a rugged outline against
the sky. Mount Baker, another mag

the grounds in a northeasterly direc

Lakes Washington and I'nion, on the
shores of which the Exposition will be

that divides the salt water from the
fresh, Puget Sound comes in from the
ocean, a great inland sea of itself that
lies between two mountain ranges and
brings the commerce of the world to
Seattle's doors.

The Exposition monument stands
in the plaza in front of the United;
States Government building. It will
be entirely covered with gold from
Alaska and the Yukon, and its splen

About $7,000 worth of gold dust will
be used to guild the monument.
At the head of the Cascade Court
stands a monument typifying the
"Spirit of the Pacific," the sculptor
having uswl the aboriginal races of
the Pacific C/oast countries as models
