FAIR IN
CLASS BY ITSELF
THAT'S WHAT a BIG CHICAGO
PAPER SAYS OF ST. LOUIS
WORLDS FAIR. ..a.'

The Chicago Record Herald which
recently sent one of its trusted men to |
the Worlds Fair at st. |
Louis printed an editorial on April |
10th declaring that the exposition for |
exceeds all similar enterprises in i'm |
MAGNITUDE and beauty and must be |
put in class by itself. The editorial
in part Is as follows:
I'm view of the approaching opening
of the Exposition it is time to call at
tention to some of the dominant impress
sions which must have been made upon
Sundays throng.
Although still in an unfinished con-
dition both as to buildings and grounds
it need only a circuit of the Expo
sition's 1240 acres to convince the
stranger within the gates that ST. Louis
has outdone herself and surpassed
everything hitherto undertaken in the
exposition line.
"As a matter of fact, with respect to
magnitude, artistic management,
beauty ana grandeur of buildings,
| landscape effects, natural scenery, gen.
eral artistic effects and the many other
things which go to make up a great
! fair, the st. Louis Exposition is in a
|
but cold facts, which the Exposition
management is entitled to have the
public know.
THE GROWING glory of the Chicago
fair was its court of honor and the
beautiful sweep of the lake front, back
of which was the dead embarrassing
level of a sandy plain.
st. Louis on the other hand, had at
. Of
ed and rolling natural park of great
beauty, twice as much space to work
upon, millions of government money
and the eXpositons of the past The
surprising beauty and grandeur of the
ST. Louis Exposition, therefore, is no;
to be wondered at. Although it may
not be completed at the opening date
st. Louis will, even then have more
to show visitors than most fairs have
had at their closing dates.
with its terrace of states, it's cas-
cades and grand basin. it's canals and
forests, it's central arrangement OF
buildings, whose architecture is as
var d as it is pleasing to eye, with a
multiplicity of landscapes which give
the visitor a new vista of SURPRISING
beauty at every turn-with all this, il
is not eXtravagant to say that minus q
single exhibit the Exposition would wei
repay a visit from any portion of the
country. In any event, no true Ame,
rican can afford to miss seeing it.
THE thousands who visited the
grounds Sunday realized this and were
convinced that no one will be able t.
, see the Exposition and not become {
missionary on it's behalf"
This is, praise from Sir Hubert
1t rings true, because it is true.

Improving the Roads.

County Commissioner Kelso stated
today that the roads near the Brush
Hollow school house had been
straig htened and would be graded this
week. At the point where the Pu.
eblo, Colorado Springs and Brust
Hollow roads branch out from the
main Florence road the places have
been absu6 oned and a new place for
branching out established Just beyond
the Robinson soda springs ditch.
Here sign boards will be erected on
the three roads for the purpose OF
directing strangers which one to take
for his destination Under the old
system stranger could not tell which
road was the right one.
At the hill this side of Portland the
bluff is being blasted ont aud the road
graded down to an easy grade. The
poll tax from Portland is being used
for this point, as no matter what
route the new road fom Florence ID
put in it will have to GROSS this one

L he site for the proposed naval station
was acquired on the recommendation of
duly appointed board. 1t extends over
an area of 726 acres, 65o of which are on
the mainland on the eastern and sea
ward shore Of the locfs, so on a small
island and IS made up of strip run
ming along the southern shore of another
and larger island immediately opposite
the mainland property.
This narrow strip, 100 feet wide, took
up valuable cane land and was relatively
the most expensive portion of the pur-
chase. It is the rule, however, of the
government to acquire all bordering
rights in such cases and while the naval
authorities control the riparian issues,
no docks or other private works and
interference can prevent the effective
work of the naval station.

DRY DOCKS.


THE site recommended for the Dry
Docks is peculiarly suited for such struc-
lures; the trend of the shore line at the
site is such as to allow the construction
of the two docks as shown, the one $50
#. long on the east side. The site has
been bored to depths of from u to 70
# and there are no obstacles to the
rapid and economical construction. The
construction of the two docks at the
same time will conserve economy to a
very great degree. To the east of the
location of the construction and steam
engineering shops a wharf and slip can
readily be constructed, and probably
will be later, at which vessels after
coming out of dock can lie, in close
proximity to the shops, allowing con-
tinuation of the work by these two de-

The dredging of Pearl Harbor. conf

important step towards the further de-

Mr.. Lawrence Thompson, stated before

long, the entrance being without diffi-

There will be more dredging and cut

station site was decided upon, the work
