on the high ground between the Horticul-
ture and Fine Arts buildings. 1t is an ex-
cellent location, and The commissioners
from the south are so pleased with 1t that
they offer TO replace the vines growing on
the knoll, after the exposition is over. They
will also plant the site of their building
with pepper trees. which they will start in
boxes. so that the Park Commissioners will

an explanation Of the fact that the Mid
winter Fair buildings are being construct
ed entirely of Oregon pine and spruce,
while California redwood does not figure
in the materials used. The explanation
given by the executive committee is that at
the time the contracts were let the only
woods available in sufficiently large quar-
titles were Oregon pine and spruce. Be-
sides, it is stated by the executive commit
tee that while redwood is desirable for
interior finishing IL is not so we'll adapted
for construction purposes as the other
woods. Redwood will be freely used, it is
promised. in the decoration of the various
