Important matters which were

ing council The electric lighting
system, both public and private, is
greatly improved. During the
year the city has been supplied with
content sidewalk along Main street
were von nee leu in mi ouec
tiona by crosswalk. I would
recommend to the new council that
the work f extending this class of
sidewalk und crosswalks go steadily
forward until cement walks will be
the usual and not the occasional
walk itoyr city.
The ground of the city park has
been highly fertilized and prepared
for needing with various grasses.'

leen provided with a substantial

Wash., will preach at Grimes'
Chapel Sunday at 11, and dedicate
the beautiful new chapel.
This is the first church to be built

lated in being able to erect so sub
stantial a building. Everybody is
moat cordially invited to attend the

, Dr Perry will preach at the

Auto Stage Changes Hands
The auto and stage line known us
the Indepemluut Auto Co., has
ehanireil ownership. The firm now
comprises James Toney and IS. 1,
ltitso. Tim curs leave I'rineville
every morning at 5 und In the even
ing at 3. l-i utp
nal, aurvey and markings. There
tiring council recommended that all
proiwrty linea and buildings be ad
justed to meet the linea now defi
nitely known.
The city expenses during the
past year have been above the aver
age but the city has the sum of
13653 on hand In the general fund
which la ample until further funda
are available.
The present old and inadequate
city irrigation system la giving lota
of trouble. It will require some
action looking to its repair or re
placement. The mayor recommended the
leveling an graveling of Main and
Fourth atreeta ao that they may
again be serviceable for traffic.
We can hear amends going up from
all directions.
The mayor recommended that the
council co-operate with the Com-,
mereial Club with the view of ad-J
vancing the city's Interest.
In conclusion, I beg leave to;
further recommend, that in con-J
ducting the city's affairs for the en
suing year, that the same be con-'
ducted along the most progressive'
and advanced avenues, keeping in.
mind always, the larger and better!
interest of the city, Bnd promoting 1
the same where it can be accom
lllahed, at a reasonable expense
and by carefully guarding the city's
finances. And it is herein sug
gested that the first consideration
in making a needed improvement ia
not always the cost, but rather its
serviceability, and the convenience
which the same will afford when
the same can be made within the
means of the city without straining
noticeably its finances. It will lie
observed then, my recommendation
is an economical administration and
a careful expenditure of the city's
funds, keeping in mind, the larger
and more extensive growth of the
city.
In conclusion in starting out on j
the year'y work which lies before
us, I am confident, that the same
shall be accomplished, and our duty
to the city rendered fuithfully, and
that our efforts shall meet with the
approval of the people.

World Noted Sculptors Produce
Marvels In the Plastic Art
Superb Decorative Statuary Fait Assuming
Form at the Panama-Pacillc In
ternational Exposition
PRODIGIOUS works of sculpture are now Mug completed In the anlp
tural wnrclioiiHci of the Panama-Pacific International Exposition.
Many of them have already long been finished. The works are r
mnrkahle for Imnifery and vltwr and for b-nuty of coweptlon.
Not for many years will the world Le enuhled to enjoy so marvelous a eol-liK-thm
of the works of contemporary sculptors. The World's Columbian Ex
position at ChhsKO flrt proved Hint the grstest talent might he employed to
produce even work of timtorary value. Klnce then niore and more attention
has been itlven at each succeeding exposition to sculpture as a form of decora
tion, and now the I'nnami I'hcIIIc International (exposition promises to surpass
even Chicago's exquisite display.
Viewing the auprh groups and Individual piece of statuary, the visitor
fr: like a Lilliputian who has been traimixirted Into a hind of glnnts. Home
of the great groups are of roloasal dimensions. Many of these great pieces of
statuary will adorn huge triumphal arches and when so placed will seem of
natural size to the visitor who atnnds un the Amirs of the exposition courts.
We present iijxhi this page some classical examples of the sketch models
snd the enlarged figures. A uumlx-r of America's foremost sculptors hare
been engaged In the production of these flgtiri-s. Among the sculptors are
many imnn widely known both In America and abroad. The list Includes
A. Btlrllng ('alder, acting director of sculpture; Allwrt Jaegers, Kurio Plcclrrllll,
J.eo Lentfilll, Kohcrt I. Aitkin, Adolph A. Welmnun, Isadora Kontl. Evelyn Bea
trice Iongrnan, Mrs. Harry Payne Whitney. Iouglas Tllden, Uutzon Borglum.
II. A. Mac-Null, Jnines K. Kraaer, Charles C. Itumsey, Ilnlg I'ntlgan, Paul Man
ship, K. 0. It. Itoth, Charles Neihaus, I). C. French, Herbert Adams snd others.
The sculpture of the Panama-Pacific IiitcrimtloiiRl Kiposltlon will carry
out the note of the exposition In celebrating the oienlug of the Panama canal.
The spirit of achievement as exemplified by America's work will be Idealized.
When the sculptors began to plan their work they hud as an Inspiration an
undertaking which has appealed to the Imngtiiiitlon of the world for centuries.
In the opening of the Panama cannl they saw the mini result of four centuries
of effort to secure a passageway between the oceans. The statuary will repro
duce upon s wonderful scale the historic Incblents connected with the Panama
canal. Figures of the early explorers of the oceans, group symbolizing the
effort to pierce the rocky backlioiia of the continents, compositions designed
to symbolize occidental and orieutnl themes, colossal representations of strug
gle and achievement, will Illustrate many of the dramatic topics inseparably
associated with the search for a imssugeway to the Pacific and with the final
building of the caiml at Panama.
And while the sculptors are fust completing their splendid productions,
which reveal the Ideals of sculptors of lite present day, other work upon the
exposition is fast progressing. When the gates of this, America's Panama
canal celebration, swing oen to the world en Feb. 20, 11115, It will tie upon a
fully completed and perfected spectacle, the setting of the greatest interna
tional celebration that the world hns ever beheld.
