ALASKA BUILDING-HAWAIIAN BUILDING Looking clown the Court of Honor, from the Main Government Building, the Hawaiian Building stands upon the left hand and the Alaskan uponthe right. As may be seen they are much alike. Besides illustrating the wonderful mineral products of Alaska, and their limitless quantities, theexhibits in the Alaska Building show the great agricultural possibilities of the country. The grain and vegetable exhibits, as well as forest productions,are object lessons of surprising importance to most visitors. Many land paintings and numerous photographs help to a better knowledge of the vastresources of Alaska. The Hawaiian Building is filled with things odd and interesting from the mid-ocean isles, fruits being much in evidence. Thepineapple is made specially prominent in demonstration for greater usefulness of that Hawaiian specialty. The things characteristic of the islandsinterest all visitors.

LOOKING UP THE COURT OF HONOR FROM ARCTIC CIRCLE The Court of Honor is the Heart of the Exposition. From it radiate avenues to all other centers of interest. Here we behold the Cascadeswith tumbling waters descending to the Geyser Basin. At the head of the Cascades, and forming the principal group of exhibit buildings, are thestructures containing the Government exhibits. The Main Building is in the center. Upon the right in our picture are the Oriental and the HawaiianBuildings. Upon the immediate left is a portion of the Agriculture Building, beyond which stand the Foreign and Alaska Buildings, not visible inthis view. They are opposite units to the Oriental and Hawaiian Buildings, and constructed upon similar lines, thus preserving the harmony of theCourt of Honor, architecturally. Seats are conveniently placed all about the Court of Honor and multitudes return to this locality after seeing othersights, to rest and enjoy the beautiful surroundings. _
