To the Editor, Free Press.
Dear Sir:—At a recent meeting of
the Concessionaries' Association of the
Pay Streak of the Alaska-Yukon-Pa
cific Exposition, it was voted unani
mously to throw the attractions of the
amusement way wide open to all par
ties of newspaper contestants, upon
presentation of proper credentials from
this department.
This means that every amusement
feature of the Exposition will be free
to the members of the party which
you are planning to send and to whom
ever you may send as chaperon or
guide.
In this connection permit me to im
press upon you that the Alaska-Yukon
Pacific Pay Streak presents more high
class attractions than any previous ex
position has shown.
Many of the features are of high

to whiten it, you owe it to yourself
