X - - - - OF CHAUTAUQUAS .1 I Panama-Pacific International Fair Making Good Progress Bulldlnn ef Panama Canal Is Essentially a Coast Event and Should Secure It. Tho Pnunma-Pneific international siposition will hnvo n booth nt tho California state fair, to bo held ut the state capital, Sacramento, from September 3 to 10. Spccinl repre sentatives of tho exposition will have kiirgo of tho booth, which will be elaborately decorated. In addition to a miniaturo representation of the canal zouo and other educational features, literature pertaining to the exposition movement will bo distrib uted to tho throngs attending the fur. Thousands of people will thus ho reached directly and put in inti aaatc touch with tho 1915 fair and ivcn a clear idea of what it means aot nlono to San Francisco, but to the entire western slope. Up to August 1 San Francisco has Taised close to $6,500,000 toward financing the proposed Pnnntna-Pa-(dfic exposition to be held for the celebration of the completion of the Panama canal in 1915. It is going before congress next December to ask for government recognition and eonfidcntly expects to get it. Menn while. the entire west is lining up in support of San Francisco, endorsing tho big project. As between San IVancisco and Now Orleans, which also wants tho fair, western men feel there can be no comparison. The building of the canal is essentially i Pacific coast event, opening tho Pa cific to tho commcrco of the world, and that means surely that the cele bration should be held at the largest .American port on the Pacific. Then, again, the summer climate of San IVancisco is worth coming far to en joy, while nothing can be said for Jfew Orleans in this respect. An other big argument is, eastern visit ers can easily go through the canal on their way to San Francisco, re turning homo overland. Again, there -arc many things worth seeing in the west the Yellowstone, the Grand Canyon of the Colorado, the Yose xaite, Shasta, and a vacation country generally. Still another strong ar gument that might appeal to congress is the fact that San Francisco has within a radius of 200 miles fully JU5UU.000 people, and it is that near by population, according to previous records, that makes such affairs suc cessful financing. This exposition is essentially a western project and the directors of It aie urging j.U friends of the move ment to get busy with their con gressmen. Not ouly should western congressmen bo seen and written to and pledged for the exposition, but all eastern residents who know east ern or middle west congressmen, or have friends in tho east who have influence with any members of con gress are expected to Jose no time in securing dcsirablo support in fa vor of San Francisco as the one place where it is fitting to hold this canal-celebration exposition.

SILVER CITY, N. M.. Aug. 0. Two armed bandits, after shooting and killing Driver Joseph E. Domin guoz, looted tho Mogolon mountain stage today ono niile from camp Mo golon, and escaped with 1'2 bars of gold and silver bullion at $18,000. Tho silver bars woro recovered by tho sheriff's posse, which hurried to tho scene of the hold-up. Tho cheaper bullion had been abandoned by tho bandits in a deserted cabin closo to the road. The highwaymen hnvo escaped into the mountains with tho gold. Tho bullion wns tho prop erty of the Sirroeeo and Ernestine Mining company ami was being car ried to Silver City, thence to be shipped to the Denver mint. Doiniuguez, the Mexican driver, wns alone on tho stage and evidently wns shot down from ambush without warning. There wore no passeugers. A large posse of heavily armed men is in pursuit of the outlaws It is oxpected arrangements will be Thero is no clue to the identity of made whereby speakers who are too the robbors, uign-pricea lor any one unauiauqua to bring west will bo routed around the coast circuit, all sharing in the expense of the trip and thus making tho cost to the individual associa tions, much less than would other wise be the case. All these details will be worked out, it is expected, at the meeting now scheduled for September 15. 11 00 KILLED IN 3 JAP ADMITS AIDING CRIME MONTHS ONROADS This Is an Increase of 466 in Num ber Killed During Same Period a Year Ago 21,233 Injured in Three Months.
