Forming the great entrance to the

massive masonry and commemorative
of the unison of the states in the Trans
Mississippi region. In harmony with
the idea an invitation has been issued
by Governor Silas A. Ho1comb of Ne
braska, to all of the executives of the
state named, asking them to contri-
butte one course of stone from the
quarries of their respective states.
The foundation layer will be composed
OF Nebraska stone of enduring quality
and on this the courses contributed by
the different states will be laid in
symmetrical order. The form of the
structure is that of triumphal arch,
fifty feet high, twenty-five feet deep,
and sixty-eight feet to the top of its
parapet. The opening in the arch is
twenty feet wide and thirty-five feet
high to the deystone. Strong, simple
abutments on either side assist the
the arch to carry an extremely rich
broad frieze of a double arcade of
twenty-four arches, containing shields
decorated in color with the coats of
arms of the Trans-Mississippi states.
Upon the opposite side the frieze is re-
peated and the coats of arms of the
Union are displayed at the ends. The
approximate cost of construction, ma
terial and ornaments is about sc, 600.

night. 1t is said that he has been in cen

Mr.. Asano, it is said, has been nego-

traffic arrangement, but this is said to
have failed. The cause given is that the
Santa Fe terminals are at San Diego and
this harbor is not large enough to ac-
commodate the ships which will be used
Last night Mr.. Asano dined with Coils

over with him as far as Mr.. Hunting
