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.
Coast Organizations to Co-opcrato to
Avoid Conflict in Dates and At
tractionsRepresentatives Invited
to Meet at Albany Next Month.
PORTLAND, Or.. Aug. 6. A now
alignment of all tho Chautauqua as
sociations of tho Pacific coast, so
that there will be no conflict in dates
or lack of co-operation in routing
of talent, is expected to occur nt a
meeting that will probably bo held
September 15. Representatives of
tho coast Chautauquas are now plan
ning to meet to bring about the above
objects and the Albany Chautauqua
association of Albany, Or., will in
vito the different representatives to
gather there. Wallace R. Struble,
secretary of tho Albany association,
is sending out invitations.
It is believed this meeting will re
sult in n better working basis for all
the coast Chautauquas. It is thought
it will bring about more perfect ar
rangements for handling tho speak
ers who como on the Chautauqua
circuit and will likely enable the dif
ferent associations to securo belter
attractions.

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

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.
