protection and that as soon as every
native had signed, it was to be for
warded to her British Majesty,
through Major J. II. Wodehouse. It
very naturally caused little com
ment, but when business men saw
what it really meant, all comment
ceased. Next the San Francisco Call
printed some very cute ghost stories,
the source of which were credited
to me. There is no truth in the state
ments as published.

get to bring along good substantial
lunch basket. 1t can be easily OBJ
tanned for SIS. The prices along the
road are just exorbitant.
The scenery all through the Sacra-
mento Valley is very fine, especially
the autumn foliage. Other points,
especially through Denver, Colo,
and Salt Lake City, with its fully
completed Tabernacle, is full of in
terest. [ must not forget to mention
the Royal Gorge and the Glenwood
Springs of Colorado, which contain
the finest and most complete sani-
tarium and bathing establishment on
this continent. 1t only took four and
a half days to get through from San
Francisco to Chicago.
After establishing myself here in
good quarters, visit to the EXPOSE
ton grounds was of course next in
order Twenty minutes ride from
the city by the Park avenue cable
cars, fare five cents, brings you to
South Park entrance. Twenty-Five
cents is charged for admittance to
see a small part of the Worlds
Wonder. The Woman's Building is
about the first you see, all ready for
occupancy, all finished with the ex-
ception of part of the exterior finish.
It is rightly named if you look at it
IN the right light. Even the allie
gorical figures appeal to a mans
better nature.
In the Horticultural Building
models are being made for the prin-
cipal buildings in huge proportions
from the raw material In moulds.
Some of them are exquisite and
elaborate beyond description. At the
end of this building there is a very
fine collection of plants, trees and
orchids. Opposite to this is the
Transportation Building, very nearly
completed, outside of which are
placed the life size statues of Land,
Stephenson, Papin, Watt, Ericsson,
Fulton, etc. Exterior ornamental
tions are exquisite in detail. The
artists here are engaged inside the
building in modelling figures of
heroic size, emblematic of States and
the various arts and sciences. Some
figures are over fifteen feet high on
the level ground. The coat-of-arms
for the Pennsylvania State Building
is over sixty feet high. The main
entrance to the Transportation Build
ing, although somewhat Moorish, is
the most elaborate in detail and
architectural design of any of the
buildings thus far completed. Next
to this in order is the Mining Build
ing, the main entrance to which is
very fine, especially the United
States coat of-arms with the motto,
SIN God we Trust"
Directly opposite this is the Elec-
tricity- building, very fine in its ap.
pointments and designs. Names OF
famous men and inventors are placed
on the exterior over every window
eending out in bold relief. Opposite
is is the Manufactures and Liber
