THE MORXIXG OKEGOXIAN, TUESDAY, JANUARY 12, 1915. GREAT FUR CAN'T BE SEEN IN ONE DAY Few Wonders of Architecture May Be Visited if Time f Limit Is Fixed. OREGON BOOTH HURRIED Admiration of Visitor DlTlded Be tween Beautiful Statue?, Great Domes, 3Ilrrored Lakes and Flowers Surrounding Palaces. Bt DEAS COLLINS. SAX FRANCISCO. Jan. 1L (Special.) One who seeks to set a definite Idea of the scope of the Panama-Pacific Ei nosltlon. especially one who has the notion that It la an exposition that can be seen in a few days, can disprove this notion to himself most easily by start ing In to see as much as possible of it in one day. The expression, "as much as possible. Is used advisedly, for he would be a g-weary wight who attempted even to walk over the whole grounds In day. and even then he would have to walk: too rapidly to pay mucn attention fa details alonr the way. It must be borne In mind also that the details to be observed at this time axe chiefly details of decoration and architecture, for the exhibits are Just borlnnlnr to ro Into place. When each Dlace and pavilion la tilled with Ha hundreds of booths full of exhibits one or possibly two of the main exnioit palaces a day Is about the best a man might hope to "do" with any degree of thoroughness, and at that he probably would be obliged to carry away with Mm enough undigested Impressions to keep his memory busy for some months to come. Ttwer mt Jewels Takes Eye. There are eight entrances to the grounds. Probably the best one to start In at is the entrance at the foot of Scott street, which brings one face to face with the great Tower of Jewels, which stands above the Court of the Universe and dominates the architec ture of the entire exposition. It Is the tiara of the Panama-facinc Exposition. Soft reddish bun in tne ground tones of its walla, sitting on massive columns dappled like tine mar ble, its first stage rises in a trlumpnai jtrch. through which one glimpses the sunken gardens of the Court of tne uni verse and far beyond facing toward tne bay. the adventurous bowman upon the Column of Progress. Above the trl umpbal arch rido the mounted figures of the old conquistadors, with steeds stepping boldly and flags straining in the wind, and above them the tower circles up, stage after stage, to a height of 422 feet, where it is capped by an intricate begemmed globe. Before entering the courts that con nect the group of eight buildings about the Court of the Universe, one turns aside to the west near the entrance to glance at the Horticultural palace. which stands separate from the main croup of palaces. Its dome of glass bulges up like a titanic soap bubble above the graceful green and buff of the walls and pillars. OrrKoi Boots Progresses. In the wings of the building booths are being hurried to completion, ready for the Installation of exhibits. The Oregon booth, which is a substantial building of log construction, large enough to take up a big section of a city block. Is well on toward comple tion: farther. In fact, than most of the other exhibit booths in the Horticul tural palace. We pass through the gardens and cross the grand esplanade to view the Palace of Liberal Arts, which lies most westerly among the palaces of the main group. Like a half moon It lies upon the lagoon, its lower outlines softened and beautified by the masses of shrub bery that cluster against it. Klpe Frnlt la Evldeaee. Then one passes hastily by the Palace of Education and turns to the east, be tween it and the Food Products Palace, and passes under the great arch into the Court of the Four Seasons. Between the Palace of Agriculture on the north and the Palace of Liberal Arts on the south. Into the core of the a-real group, the Court of the Universe, which lies beneath the Tower of Jewels. the visitor looks. Winged man figures eland guard above each entrance arch. The planting of the landscape gar d-ns In the connecting courts between the main courts already practically Is done. One sees ripe oranges hanging on the branches of the tree as he makes his way between the Palace of Trans nortation and the Palace of Manufac tures. and comes forth Into the Court tt Abundance. South again, between Italian towers. familiar In form and bright in color as those before the western court, one sees the dome of the Festival Hall. Then, on under the archea eastward, between the I'alare of Mines and the Palace or"Varled Industries, he goes to cross the avenue and peep Into the Palace of Machinery. Many more buildings remain to be seen by the visitor, but a day In the grounds flees brtquickly. even as he passes hurriedly from one wonder of architecture to the next.

SWISS WHEAT SUPPLY LOW NEW ALIEN LAW IN EFFECT Great Britain Has New Moans Pealing With' Foreign Spies. of LONDON. Jan. 1. (Correspondence e-f iho Associated Press.) Certain new wr sUtutes donning tbe status of aliens and setting forth what consti tutes Britlsli nationality, became ef fective today. The press already Is discusinsr whether they are effective agint spies. Naturalization cannot be requested us a riht under either the new or the .ld statutes. It Is regarded aa an act of grace. The worklnir of the new 1 iw. therefore, depends largely on the Home Secretary. The problem In the British mind is to determine whether tho alien who seeks to become a British citizen may not be doing so at the Instigation of his ho.n? government In order more effectively to play the spy. Just now naturalized Germans are held under suspicion by the government and de nied the right to live In certain areas, particularly along the eastern coast, which is subject to German raids, near army training camps, or fortified bases. Under the new law naturalisation certificates niy be revoked only when obtained by fraud. Furthermore the niturnliied citizen is not required to furnish sureties of loyal behavior.
