Nevada Spunk.


There Is a humorous florist In this
city by the sea. Whether it Is inten-
tional or not, nobody knows, but he has
certainly had some funny experiences
Of late. The other day a woman in
Nevada wrote to him that her husband
was dead and that she wanted some
thing nice for John" to be sent at once.
With due dispatch he plucked horse
shoe off the wall where it had rested
for years, and filling it with sweet
white roses, he forwarded it to the
widow.
In a few days the expressman drove
up and said the charges on an awkr
ward-looking bundle he carried were
$1.O5. The florist paid him, and upon
opening the little gift found the horse
shoe, looking as If it had had a bad
night, and thoroughly dilapidated. On
top was pinned slip of paper which
said:
Dear Sur-Mebbe you think yer
funny, but even if my John wuz a
blacksmith you needn't send no horse
shoe. He wuz respectable and honest
and you hain't got no right to make fun
by him."
At last accounts the budding young
man had made no reply, but it's two
to one that If some gambler dies he will
send I'D broken wheel-SaIt Lake

Flowers in Mexico.

One of the chief delights of the city
of Mexico Is its flowers. Roses, violets,
forget marguerites and lilies
bloom all the year round. There are
few weeks when a quarter will not buy
a splendid big bunch and when silver
dollar will not fill the vases in the
house to overf1owing. Flowers are sold
not only at the flower market near the
cathedral, that is devoted entirely to
flowers, strawberries and birds, but at
the other markets and on the street
corners. The flower girls" of the cap
ital are all boys and men. At some
places in Mexico, particularly Guadala
jara, little girls are to be seen on the
streets all day and in the evening offer
ing boutonnieres for which they will
not set a price, but ask you to give
what you please. 1t is hard to find
flower on sale anywhere after midday.
The flower seller makes bouquets in
the most artistic fashion. The street
venders never sell loose cut flowers,
but arrange them on basework Of
green so that each flower stands by
itself, and the whole bunch is prettily
finished with garniture Of green
leaves or ferns. ~

The Plaza is 500 feet by $50 feet.
Standing at the tower building, at the
right, is the stadium building, 341 feet
long by 50 feet wide, with towers l64
feet high. This ornate building forms
the entrance to the athletic field or
stadium, where $4,000 people may be
seated to witness the high-class ath-
letic contests to be provided. The ath-
lectic carnival of 1901 is intended to be
the greatest ever given in America.
OF course there is a Midway. No ex-
position would be complete without one
after the world-famous midway" of
the Chicago exposition of 1893. Mid
way Of the Buffalo show will be in the
form Of an anchor, one rather winding
street lined with the principal shows
and a cross street at the end for the
Overflow" Applications for space on
the Midway have poured in from all
ner of entertainments and novelties,
and the director of concessions will be
enabled to choose a splendid lot Of
shows for the street.
The general style of the buildings is
that Of the Spanish renaissance, modi-
fed to suit the character of an exposi-
ton. There is a generous use Of color,
the red roofs and tinted walls giving
the completed work a festival aspect.
Domes, lanterns, pinnacles and statues,
waving flags and streamers make gay
the sky line. The facades of the build
ings are everywhere broken with elab-
crate architectural features and ar
caded effects are much used through
out the vast group. There are more
than twenty large buildings and mas
sive architectural works, besides the
numerous state and foreign buildings,

Standing on the esplanade and fac
ing north the great group Of buildings
at the right, at the extreme east end
Of the transverse court, are those of
the federal government. The main
building, in which will be sheltered a
greater portion Of the government ex-
hibits, is 600 feet long by 13O feet wide.
A central dome rises to a height of $50
feet above the main floor and Is sur
mounted by statue Of Victory, twenty
feet high. The lesser buildings, each
$50 feet square, are west of the main
building $50 Feet on the north and
south lines of the main structure.
Curved colonnades connect the smaller
buildings with the greater, forming a
spacious semi-circular court opening
to the west. The government exhibits
will include the aquarlums and ichthy
illogical collection of the United States
fish commission and extensive collec-
tive exhibits from the Philippines, Por
to Rico and Hawaii.
At the far western end of the broad
transverse court is the horticultural
building, 220 feet square, f1anked on
the north by the graphic arts building
and on the south by the forestry and
mines building. They are connected by
circular arcades, forming broad court
similar to that inclosed by the govern
ment group. Behind the arcades are
the Conservatives. The Esplanade is

WEEKLY TRADE REVIEW.
Wholesale Business of a Modest Char
acter-Cerels Are Higher.

q
acter-Cere1s Are Higher.
Bradstreet's says: New business at
wholesale is of between stations char
acter, but warmer weather has offered
a stimulus to retail business in some
sections. Chief activity and most at.
tention is, however, still concentrated
on the price situation, and efforts to
readjust quotations to meet current de-
mand and supply conditions go forward
steadily. The exception to the general
downward trend of prices is that fur
nished by leading farm products, nota-
bly, cereals, but here the moving cause
is hardly SO favorable, being the result
of less satisfactory crop reports, par
ticularly from the Northwest, and it is
to be noted that advices from the
Northwest, where the winter wheat
yield promises to be very short, are
also less favorable.
Corn crop advices remain favorable,
as likewise do those of oats, but the
grains and hog products have sympa-
thized IN the upward movement OF
wheat, which has at last broken from
its lethargy and is again attractl 'g
speculative attention. Foreign crop
advices, it might be added, are not fiat
tering. The German rye crop promises
to be very short; the same report
comes regarding French wheat and En-
glish crop advices are not of the best.
Cotton is slightly weaker.
Leather is dull and rates weak.
Wool is dull and on the whole
slightly weaker at Eastern markets.
Mills engaged on women's wear-goods
are fairly we'll employed. The outlook
favors lower prices for the new Spring
weights.
Surplus visible wheat supplies are
decreasing rapidly, lending interest to
current unfavorable crop reports.
PACIFIC COAST TRADE.
Corvallis gazette. [volume] (Corvallis, Benton County, Or.) 1900-1909, 1900-06-15

Official acceptances have already been
received from Canada, Mexico, Hon
duras, Nicaragua, Salvador, Guate-
mala, Guadaloupe, Dutch Guiana, Bo-
livia, Argentine Republic and Chilli. In
official assurances have been received
| that the other South American coun-
tries will accept the invitation as soon
as the necessary forms Of legislative
sanction have been complied with.
General Plan of Exposition.
The exposition grounds include $50
acres, Of which 133 acres are improved
park lands, a part Of Delaware park.
The grounds are about one mile from
north to south and a half mile from
east to west Their situation is in the
northern part Of the city, accessible
from every direction. The park lands
form the southern part of the extensive
grounds and are pronounced by expert
landscape architects to be among the
most beautiful in the world. The trees
and shrubbery in wonderful variety,
| the romantic footpaths leading in all
directions among the thick foliage, the
loveliest Of lakes, on whose surface
numberless swans and other water
fowl of immaculate plumage are con-
| stantly at sport, the wide reaches of
lawn and the rich embroidery of fow-
ers everywhere to be seen all combine
to refresh and restore the mind of him
who tarries within these delectable pre-
| cincts.
The visitor who approaches the expo
sition from the south will enter the
| grounds on Lincoln parkway, a broad,
beautiful, shaded boulevard. Crossing
the triumphal bridge, which will be
one Of the artistic beauties Of the
grounds, the visitors enters the esplan-
ade, an immense open space which will
| which it Is designed to carry out vari-
Gus ceremonies during the exposition,
at which a great concourse of people
| may attend.
| The visitor is now fairly within the
grand court formed by the main group
of exposition buildings. The court is of
| the shape of an inverted T. The ap-
proach, fore court and bridge are about
1000 feet in length, 300 feet wide. The
main court is 1000 feet long, 500 feet
| wide, and the transverse court, across
the esplanade, is LOO feet from east
to west. On either side of the trium-
phal bridge are the mirror lakes. These
are a part of the grand canal, which
completely encircles the great group of
buildings, and upon which the visitor
may ride in one Of the many electric
launches or take a more leisurely trip
in a Venetian gondola. The canal is
lined with young trees and banked with

feet square. The court Of the foun-
tains Is to be the great center piece of
the exposition. Here the principal cleo
trical displays are to take place. The
court is to be Illuminated at night with
the diffused light of more than 100000
incandescent electric lamps, the dis
tribution being SO perfect that there
will be no shadows. Colors will be eX-
tensively employed to produce fantastic
effects. The huge steel tower, $50 feet
high, which stands at the north end Of
the court of the fountains, will be used
in the production of extraordinary cleo
tric features. One of these will be an
electric waterfall thirty feet wide and
in the tower. The tower itself is Of i'm
posing design and intricate workman
ship. The many foundations in the
great basin of the court will be made
beautiful at night by means Of electric
lights of all colors. The very extraor-
binary electrical features Of the expo
sition are made possible by the fact
that electric power from the largest
power plant in the world, at Niagara
Falls, Is to be provided in unlimited
quantities. This power plant is only
half an hours ride from Buffalo and is
one of the great sights for visitors to
the exposition to include in their timer
ary.
Opposite the court of the fountains
the the two big buildings of the exposi-
ton, the machinery and transportation
building on the west and the manufac-
lures building on the east. These are
each 500 by $50 feet and each has
beautiful tropical court with an
aquatic pool in the center.
Some of the Buildings.
From here a broad avenue shaded by
poplars, called the Mall, extends be-
tween the agricultural and electricity
buildings and beyond them are the
manufacturers building and ten acres
devoted to live stock exhibits. Head
quarters of all the officials of the expo
sition will be in the service building,
which is close to the machinery and
transportation building, one of the most
important structures of the exposition.
The massive steel tower divides the
court of the fountains from the Plaza.
1t stands in large aquatic basin and
a picturesque bridge enables the WIS.,
itor to reach it from the Plaza In the
tower, at the height of seventy feet, is
a large restaurant. There are prom
enade floors at various heights and
balcony near the summit, from which
a bird 's-eye view of the exposition, the
city, Lake Erie, Niagara River, and
open country may be obtained. All the
floors are reached by means of eleya-
tors,

I'M will throw open to the world the
eA gates Of an exposition which will
go far toward making Buffalo famous
for something else besides the Niagara
Falls. For two years artists, landscape
gardeners, architects and public-spirit-
ed citizens have labored with but one
point of view. to make the Pan-Ameri-
can exposition of 1901 a show notable
among the minor expositions of the
country. 1t will not be Of class with
the Chicago Worlds Fair, for to that
stupendous exposition all the civilized
world contributed it's share. Indeed, the
very name of the Buffalo exposition
signifies that it is not worlds fair,
but an exhibition of the products and
progress Of all America. Canada, Mexi-
co and the States of Central America
will vie with manufacturers and pro-
ducers of the United States in the COM
petition for medals and diplomas, and
the exposition will serve to bind still
closer together the peoples of this con-
tinent.
The aggregate resources Of the Pan
American exposition authorities
amount to $5,SOO,OOO and with this
sum a splendid exposition should be as
sured. The government appropriated
$50O,0OO for the government exhibit,
the State Of New York added $3OO,O
and in addition there is an authorized
capital of $2,5OOOOO and an authorized
bond issue of the same amount
In June, 1899, the national govern.
ment, through the Department Of State
at Washington, issued invitations to
the foreign nations of the western hem
isphere to participate in the exposition.

The mines owned by the War Eagle
Consolidated Mining Company on
Shaw's mountain are growing better
and better as development progresses,
says the Boise Statesman. The Nc
Carthy property is now producing some
very rich ore, specimens showing gold
in large quantities.
In the Paymaster, after following
the ore chute some 800 feet, the man.
agement determined to open slopes
preparatory to starting the mill. Five
upraises were started for this purpose
and in every one of them the vein is
far better than in the level. 1t is
about six feet wide, and there is four
and half feet of ore that runs close to
$40 ton.
Altogether the outlook for this group
is most encouraging. All that was ex-
pected was to open a good property.
but it now looks as though it would
turn out to be bonanza.
Work on the concentrating mill is
progressing rapidly and it is hoped to
have the plant ready to run by the
Fourth of July. 1t will be a novel
sight to see that mill in operation.
There is no other plant like it in the
