THE ST. LOUIS PAIR SITE.
Forest Park to be Used for the Louisa
ma Purchase Exposition.

ST., LOUIS, June 25.-Forest park
was selected as the site on which to
hold the Worlds Fair in this city in
1908, to-day, to commemorate the
one hundreth anniversary of the
Louisiana purchase. The executive
committee, which for the past few
weeks had been considering the mer-
its of the various sites offered, reported
to-day in favor of Forest park, and the
board Of directors promptly ratified
the selection. Tomorrow the nation
al commission will act upon the mat
ter. The site takes up the western
half of Forest park and considerable
vacant land adjoining to the west and
southwest.
Forest park comprises 1900 acres Of
natural wood land, hills and valleys
and little has been done to give 1t
artificial ornament. The eastern
half is provided with lakes, walks and
summer houses, but the western half
is nearly as nature made 1t. In size 1t
is exceeded by only n park in
America-Fairmount Park Of Phila-
delphia. 1t was purchased by the
city about twenty-five years ago. 1t
is as well provided with Transports
tion facilities as was Jackson park be-
fore the Chicago Worlds Fair was
held there. Besides a number of cleo
trio lines which reach Forest park
steam railways run through or near
it and these may be used to carry the
crowds from the business district
during the Fair.
Forest park is in the west end Of
st. Louis and about FIVE miles in a
straight line from the Union Station.
Jackson park was nearly eight miles
from the business district in Chicago
and with the Midway Plaisance, con-
sisted of about 900 acres. The st.
Louis site has several lakes Of good
size which will lend themselves to
use as lagoons and Waterways, a
feature now considered nearly necessa'
~ In all large exposltions.

DIR. Edgar Barton, Of Louisiana, is

Robt. Sted, Of Carmi, ILL.,, is here

He has just returned from Columbia
where he attended commencement
exercises of the University. His son,
Asa, graduated and will teach next
year in Bo0nville, where he was
elected principal Of the school.
The Sunday School Rally, which
was held here Friday, Saturday and
Sunday, was well attended and much
interest shown. The music was good
throughout. The address by Ed.
Kokendoffer Friday evening was
scholarly, full of good thoughts and
helpful to all. Eds. Slower, Taylor,
Enders and Messrs. Schultz, Williams
and wilkins gave good talks which
were listened to with much interest.
The recitations we're well spoken and
we'll selected. There were many
faithful workers in the Hall but we
think all will agree that Miss Lena
Shearer was the most faithful one Of
all. She was always present at every
meeting preparatory for the Rally,
helping with recitations, songs
and decorating the church and every
place help was needed.
John Coons, who has been sick for
several months, is in very critical

Only one thing is lacking to make
