Splendors of the Panama-Pacific International Exposition Revealed by Progress at San Francisco, SUPERB WORKS OF SCULPTURE AND ART IN COLOSSAL EXHIBIT PALACES FOR AMER ICA'S PANAMA CANAL CELEBRATION. GLINTS of gold from vast oriental domes, Venetian blue on minarets, pro , diglous works of sculpture and the arrival of notables from all parts of the globe give glimpses of the great Panama-Pacific International Exposition as it will appear when its gates swing open to the world in San Francisco on Feb. 20, 1913. Not for many years will the world be enabled to enjoy so marvelous a collection of the works of contemporary sculptors. The World's Columbian Exposition at Chicago first proved that the greatest talent might be engaged to produce work of even temporary value. Since then more and more nttcn-. tlon has been given at each succeeding exposition to sculpture as a form of decoration, and the great Panama-Pacific International Exposition at Sau Francisco promises to surpass even Chicago's exquisite display. Every phase of the exposition Is far advanced. Thirty-four of the world's nations will participate with government displays, Argentina leading with a government appropriation of $1,".00,(HK) gold. i .' L'. a. '.Moscow- AIRSHIPS WILL RACE AROUND THE GLOBE FROM SAN FRANCISCO IN 1915. AERONAUTS from all the civilized nations or the globe with every standard type of air craft driven by motors will participate in an aerial race around the world, which will be a feature of the sporting events to be held during the Pauama-Pacitic Interna tional Exposition at San Francisco In 1915. ' . . The race will start from the grounds of the Exposition In May, 1915, and will end there. Three hundred thousand dollars has beeu hung up In prizes for this stupendous world girdling contest A number of the world's greatest aviators have signified their intention of entering the races. The recent flight of Stoeftler, ending at Mulhausen. Ger many, in which he covered 1,375 miles, convinces aviators that long flights are a matter of adequate supply stations. The above photograph shows the route around the world aud the various supply stations. KEAREST TO EVERYTHING AT ST.

Briggs Our ride from Ashland to San Francisco was pleasant. The country was in Its most beautiful and attract ive garb, all vegetation green, and Just about warm enough to be com fortable. Grain of all kinds seemed to be first class, and as we neared the city farmers were busy cutting their hay. Never saw the country when It, appeared so attractive. We spent April30 in San Francisco and then went to Los Angeles via Fresno and Bakersfield. This is n fine country all the way to Fresno, there seeming to be an unusually large crop of grain. May 1, Just at break of day, found the landscape had changed. Now appeared a wide, elevated val ley, hardly ocupied by homes, merely .sagebrush, dust and waste, and only apparently suitable for stock range. At Los Angeles we found Dr. and Will Edwards waiting with their auto for us. We arrived In the city dur ing a very heavy rain, the water be ing curb high on the streets. We were entertained at their beautiful home till about 2 p. m., when, it having cleared, we went liy auto to Pasadena and through some of the parks. The beautiful drives and resi dences were everywhere bordered and covered with roses, and the place seemed fit for a paradise. At 8:15 May 2 we again started on our jour- new to the east, over the Southern Pacific. Until about 2 p. m. we trav eled through Snn narnardlno coun trq, Redlands and Riverside. The orange trees were everywhere laden with their yellow harvest. A man who came on the train near the sta tion at Riverside showed by his state ments that it was not any easy gall ing in the orange business, either. He said he sold his farm in Iowa several years ago and bought an orange farm. The first year his fruit was frozen, and this year there was no market and he was feeding his fruit to the pigs. He said he was through with the orange business If he could get rid of his place. Perhaps he was only a knocker, and having met such peo ple before I concluded that HE was probably the cause of his own misfor tune. Perhaps his trees were not properly cared for and like some of the products of our Rogue River Val ley orchards when spraying, cultiva tion and pruning are neglected. Good oranges are certainly selling for a good prise wherever we have had oc casion to buy them. At many of the stations large num bers of boys and girls sell the fruit, and most of it is very poor and cre ates a bad impression. And many impositions are practiced on the tour ists, as at one station fine strawber ries were offered lor sale. The top layers looked fine, but underneath they were green, small and worth less. Some purchasers would laugh and others cuss. It would be a good Idea for the fruit associations to see that only the best fruit be sold a the depots and a rigid inspection be kept. On nearing Yuma there was dust everywhere choking dust, and thou sands of acres of sagebrush and cac tus land which would be good if wa tered. Right around Yuna, however, there Is fine bottom land, most of which is not cultivated. At Yuma we saw the Yuma 'ndians and many of the United States soldiers. None of the "noble" rednien would take the prize at a beauty show. There were a great many of them at the station, where they had their bead work and baskets spread out for sale to the ex cursionists. From Yuma our route took us through Tucson and on to El Paso. We arrived at El Paso in the morn ing, and all the passengers were so dusty that they looked as if they had spent the night threshing closer seed. I have felt ever since as If I had an adobe brick house started beneath my ribs. Leaving El Paso, we skirt ed along the Rio Grande, along which we saw at Intervals many soldiers. Much fine bottom land Is located along here, but "for sale" signs indi cate that land Is high elsewhere than In the Rogue River Valley. "For sale cheap, $250 an acre," and other signs, would point to the fact that we have the cheapest land along the Southern Pacific, at least south of Auto Accident Near Medford Three persons were seriously, two perhaps fatally, injured Thursday afternoon, when an auto driven by John Hill of this city skidded over the grade on the south approach to the Bybee bridge, says the Medford Sun. The occupants of the car were Dr. Lawrence Hill and wife, and his son John Hill and his vit'e. The injured are: Dr. Lawrence Hill, compound de pression of skull, and other injuries. Condition precarious. John Hill, broken ribs and inter nal injuries. Condition precarious. Mrs. Lawrence Hill, three broken ribs on right side, bruises on lower limbs and abrasions. Mrs. John Hill, slight scalp wound. The accident occurred about 4:45 o'clock. The machine was at the ap proach to the bridge. In attempting to go around a pile of material left in the load by the postal road crew the auto ran onto a slight incline. The ground was wet from the thun der shower, and the machine skidded over the embankment, turned turtle and pinned the occupants to the ground. A Mr. Morgan who owns a ranch near the scene witnessed the accident and rushing to the spot found all un conscious. He telephoned for aid and Drs. Conroy and Porter rushed to the scene. The father and son are at Sacred Heart Hospital. Mrs. John Hill was the fortunate member of the party, escaping with slight wounds. The party were returning from a trip up Rogue river. The exact loca tion of the tragedy was on the Modoc grade about 100 yards south of the bridge. The Hills came to this valley about seven months ago and have many friends. Their former residence was in Battle Creek, Mich. it tckmjricnds "Supreme" Soda are in great favor among children because they keep crisp longest. are Supreme Sodas! FREE!

As to a place for living and being free from mosquitoes and flies, the Rogue river country is a paradise compared to that. There were mosquitoes everywhere there until one would get fairly exasperat ed.

If you owned the follow, ing described property you would miss none of tlie conveniences of the city, And at the same time you would have a place that will steadily in crease in value. This place consists of 57 acres, 43 acres of which are in alfalfa, 10 acres in eight-year-old Newtown apples, with peach fillers. A five-room modern house; irrigation for the garden; two large barns; a one-room house for help; electric lights. One mile from town.
