amid strange scenes and among strange peoples.
 Adviser of Slams Ruler.
 Edward H. Strobel, who is now the right-hand mag of the Emperor of Siam Is typical illustration of the kind of men who have won fame In other lands He was formerly assistant secretary of state. and after that became professor of law at Harvard university A few years ago he was rendered the position of legal adviser to the Emperor of Siam, and accepted the offer. He has been away for several years and his friends in the United States only hear from him at rare intervals; but 1t is known that he is officially called 'The Politi- cal Counsellor to the Siamese govern ment. It is quite evident that he has i'm pressed his Individuality very deeply upon the ruler of the land of the white elephants and that he has adapted him. self naturally to the picturesque nation which he is serving. In the International complications that have been arising from time to time in the old world during the last few years 1t will be noticed that Siam, of all the other countries, has been singularly peaceful and tranquil. How much of this Is due to the quiet plod- ding, steady-going American adviser of the emperor is not dlfficule to guess.
 While MT. Strobe was in the depart ment at Washington he won the good will of all his associates and those that had business with the office. He daily gave evidence of having a well-balanced, analytical mind. He was extraordinarily well versed In international law, and when he left this country for Siam ne probably knew more about that nation. its people. their habits and history than any other man in the United States. If hu had the desire he could write a mar ,velously interesting book concerning the country which he has voluntarily adopt ed as his home.
 Sultan's Right-Hand Man.
 Another interesting character, quite the opposite of MT. Strobel. is Capt. Rans- ford D. Bucknam, the American adviser of the Sultan of Turkey The manner In which he came to occupy this unique po- sition is more fascinating than a dime novel, Captain nucknam for many years occupied responsible position with the famous Cramp Shipbuilding company in Philadelphia. That concern constructed the cruiser Medjida for the sultan's gov

Centennial Garden.


 In the western part of the grounds a considerable part of the site, has been left almost in its natural state. forming Centennial park, and beyond this park in little valley, are situated the eXper- mental gardens. where all manner of western farm and garden products will be displayed as they actually grow.
 Guilds Lake is spanned by an orna- mental bridge, known as the Bridge of Nations, and the end of the bridge ad- Joining the mainland will be called the Trail This will be the amusement street of the fair, and many new features are planned for it.
 On the government peninsula, which Is reached by way of the Bridge of Ma tons, the main government buildings will occupy three acres. The structure will be fanked by two towers each 260 feet high and ornate peristyles will lead to smaller structures which will house the Territorial, Irrigation and Fisheries exhibits a fourth smaller building being used as the Life Saving Station
 While our own government will be the largest national participant, almost ev- cry other nation on the globe which arises to the dignity of place on the man will be represented at the exposi- 1ion So great has been the demand for space by foreign governments that the hniiding originally designed to house all foreign exhibits ana the euucatlonal ulS- nlav has been given over entirely to oriental nations, while the building de- signed for liheral and industrial arts will hold the exhibits of European countries. This unexpected demand for exhibit space coupled with an entirely unpre- cedented call for space hy manufacturers has necessitated an additional building. which will be called the Palace of Man ,lfactures, Liberal Arts and Varied In dustries This building, containing 9O,- nnO feet of floor space, will almost equal in size the Agricultural Palace, the largest building on the grounds.
 The exposition management has been phowered with requests for literature hearing on the fair. and reports from the east indicate that a general interest Is being taken in the enterprise The low railroad rates offered by the railroads, by which a person living in the Missis- sippi valley can go and come for s45, while people further east may make the round trip at a one fare rate, assure a large attendance from states east of the Rocky mountains, and the whole Pacific northwest will visit the fair.
 The exposition authorities, while not wishing to seem too sanguine, have no Tears of small attendance. and the ad- vanced stage of construction on the grounds assures the completion of the fair in every detail long before the open lng day. June L

close pleasure with good grace
may come again, the week past

flags were conspicuous amid the
wealth of flowers. The plan to

the hearty endorsement of the

Mayer Morris Holds that Bids

ton Of the city council on Monday
night in granting authority to the
board Of public works to let the con-
tract for the paving of South Temple

that 1t would save considerable time to

such action would not Doe legal, but an
