PIPE LINE INTO OCEAN.
Company at Santa Barbara Receives
Permit From War Department.

Acting Secretary oliver of the War
Department has issued a permit to the
Union Oil Company Of California to
build a pipe line from its works at
Santa Barbara 1000 feet into the Pa
cific ocean and to erect a dolphin at the
outer end for the purpose Of pumping
the oil into ships. This action was based
on opinions rendered by the Attorney
General Of the United States and the
Judge advocate general OF the army that
there was no legal objection to such ac-
tion by the government unless 1t was
evident that the proposed structure was
an obstruction to navigation.
The engineers OF the War Department
reported that the structure would not
interfere with navigation. The citizens
Of Santa Barbara made q strong protest
against the issue Of the permit on the
ground that the proposed pipe line would
prove a public nuisance and would Sc
riously impair the attractiveness OF that
ocean city.

grapherS key made from the nfst
gold taken from the klondike, and
set with the identical nuggets taken
out by the discoverer OF the North
ern Eldorado, August 16, 1896.
One feature that excited the en-
thusiastic comment OF the great
crowds present was that the manage
ment had lived up to its motto OF
the show that will be on time
Not only were the buildings COM
pleted and the grounds covered with
grass and flowers, as though they

The opening program at the expo
sition grounds began at $3.50 O'Clock
with a parade of United States army
troops, marines and sailors from the
Pacific cruiser fleet and from the
Japanese warships. The marching
soldiers and sailors were reviewed
by the American and Japanese ad-

The programme at the amphithe-
alter was timed to close at noon, at
which hour President Chilberg sig
nailed the President of the United

was an exchange of messages, after
which the signal was given from the
White House which started whistles
blowing in all parts of the city.
The program during the afternoon
included concerts by Innes and the
A.-Y.-P. bands, reception in the
Washington State Women's Build
ing and the first flight of the dirig
ible balloon "a. -Y.-P."
In the evening the officers of the
exposition were the hosts at ban
quet to the distinguished visitors.
The program at night concluded
with a musical concert in the Au-
ditorium and a display of fireworks
on the Pay Streak, the amusement
street of the fair.
Liquors Prohibited on Grounds.
There are the usual buildings seen
at exposition, with the advantage
that many of these are to be perma-
nent and after the fair is closed on
Oct. Is will be turned over to the
University of Washington, on whose
campus the fair is held. Due to the
fact that the exposition grounds be-
long to the state university it will
be a dry" show, no intoxicating
liquors being sold in the vicinity.
For the amusement street of the
exposition novel name and many
novel features have been found.
What was the Midway at Chicago,
