Missouri's Showing

Missouri, which is sometimes called
the mother of Oregon, is Showing
her child a few things at the expo
sition, but she is not permitted to show
as many things as she desired. The
Missouri commissioners, Robert H
Kern, E. f. F.. McJimsey and E. s.

loads of Missouri products. including
practically the exhibits made by the
state at st. Louis last year, only to
find upon arrival here that they could
not get space in the exhibit buildings
for the collections.
The Missouri building is commodious

Westerners Best Tippers

Westerners, as a class, are the best

generous, say Los Angeles bell boys.

PORTLAND, Ore, June 25.-The
Lewis and Clark exposition, recognizing
the Importance of Los Angeles as a
tourist center, has decided to establish
there full-fedged information bureau,
to be kept open during the exposition
season. Mr.. f. l.. Du Shane, who has
been connected with the exposition
press bureau in an important capacity
! for several months, has been selected to
take charge of the bureau. He departs
tonight for Los Angeles and will open
the bureau early this week.
More than 1900 bona fide residents OF
California registered at the California
state building during the first three
weeks of the Lewis and Clark expo
sition. This is a remarkable showing.
1t indicates the keen interest of Cali
fornians in this exposition, and their
determination to prove that the Golden
state knows how to embrace an oppor-
tunity to exploit itself. Every day the
California building is thronged with
visitors people from all sections desir-
ing to learn more about the state than
they can get by reading. Tons of liter
ature relating to the various parts OF
the state are distributed, and the gen.
eral public appears to be more deeply

POPE IS INTERESTED.
Deprecates American Custom of Charg
 ing Entrance Fees to Masses.

New York, December 4.-A cable dis patch to the World from Rome says.
 The Vatican correspondent of the Stampa at Turin is authority for the statement that when few days ago Rt Rev. Thomas s. Byrne, bishop of Nashville, Tenn, was received in pri- vate audience by the Pope, the conver- sation of the Pontiff dwelt principally upon serious abuses which are said to be found in the church in America, which Plus X declared he was deter mined to suppress at any cost. The Pontiff deprecated the custom allowed in many American dioceses to exact an entrance fee on Sundays and holidays from the people attending mass in their churches. In the opinion of the Pontiff such custom must be abolished, as it practically constitutes hindrance to poor people attending the church.
 The Pope spoke very emphatically Of the fact that he knew how some of the American bishops have surrounded themselves with more luxuries than even the Pope thought himself entitled to.
 Piux X added that the time was not far distant when he would be enabled to extend his work of reform to the church in America and send there some of the members of the religious orders which he considered the right arm of the Pope as apostolic visitors to report on actual conditions.
