THE EXPOSITION
Should be held at San Fran-
cisco—No comparison be
tween that City and New
Orleans.
Up to August 1st San Francisco has
raised close to *6,500,000 towards
financing the proposed Panama-Pacific
Exposition to be held for the celebra
tion of the completion of the Panama
canal in 1915. It is going before Cong
ress next December to ask for Govern
ment recognition and confidently ex
pects to get it. Meanwhile, the entire
West is lining up in support of San
Francisco, endorsing the big project.
As between San Francisco and New
Orleans, which also wants the fair,
Western men feel there can be no
comparison. The building of the canal
is essentially a Pacific Coast event,
opening the Pacific to the commerce
of the world, and that means surely
that the celebration should be held at
the largest American port on the
Pacific. Then again, the climate of
San Francisco is worth coming far to
enjoy, while nothing can be said for
New Orleans in this respect. Another
big argument is. Eastern visitors can
easily go through the canal on their
way to San Francisco, returning home
overland. Again there are many things
worth seeing in the West—the Yellow
stone, the Grand Canyon of the Colo-
rado, the Yosemite, Shasca, and n
vacation country generally, Still
another strong argument that might
appeal to Congress is the fact that
San Francisco has within a radius of
200 miles fully 1,500,000 people and it
is that nearby population, according to
previous records, that makes such
affairs successful financially.
OFFICERS ELECTED
At Meeting of stockholders Sat
urday afternoon.
Will take
charge Sept. 1st.
The stockholders of the new Bank of
Jacksonville, met Saturday afternoon
and effected a permanent organization
by the election of the following named
persons as officers, viz:
President, J. W. Bybee; Vice Pres.
Jno. W. Pernoil; Cashier, Benj. M.
Collins; Asst. Cashier, W. H. Bowen;
Secretary, W. H. Johnson; Directors,
J. W. Bybee, Jno. W. Pernoll, John
Dunnington, W. H. Bowen, C. M.
Ruch, and Benj. M. Collins.
A number of questions preliminary
to the organization, were discussed and
arrangements made to take charge of
the business Sept. 1st.

Doan’s Kidney Piils and am glad to
say that the results were most grati

pains in my back and I found it difficult
to stoop. My kidneys were too free in
action. Doan’s Kidney Pills were so
highly recommended to me that I pro

short time when I found that they
were the remedy I required. I con
tinued using them, my general health
improved and I felt better in every
way. I take pleasure in recommending
