Secretary San Diego Exposition

Levi G. Monroe, former secretary Of
the Spokane Chamber Of Commerce
and later secretary of the Vancouver
apple show, has accepted the position
of secretary and assistant director gen
eral of the Panama-C California exposition,
to be held in San Diego in 1915. MI.
Monroe is in Spokane taking leave Of
old friends and settling up some bust
ness affairs.
The offer of the San Diego position
came somewhat as a surprise to MI.
Monroe, but is due to the reputation
he has made as a publicity manager on
the Pacific coast. He is enthusiastic
over the outlook.
The San Diego exposition will be
held in 1915. It is not a rival Of the
proposed national exposition, to be held
either at San Francisco or New Orleans.
The Panama exposition idea was orig
mated by D. c. Collier, who is at the
head of the San Diego exposition. How
ever, it was realized that probably the
affair would be somewhat too large for
San Diego to handle, 81 now they are
boosting for San Frisco.
The San Diego show will be largely
along the line Of city development.
The city has a large unimproved park,
and a number Of public-spirited men
conceived the idea of improving the
park, as we'll as giving the city a boost.
The park is to be made a second Golden
Gate park. The men behind the prop
osition are D. C. Collier, ]. D. Spreckels,
U. S. Grant, A. G. Spalding and others.
1t is planned to make Improvements
that will be permanent.
The originators have to put up ST.
900, 900 to be used for the exposition,
and the city Of San Diego will furnish a
like amount.

Oregon people are more than satisfied
with the showing made by exhibitors
from that state at the recent National
apple show at Spokane. Not only did
a Hood River grower, c. H, Sproat,
capture the sweepstakes prize Of $1,000
and a gold medal banner for a carload
of Spitzenbergs, but a number of other
prizes were also secured.
Oregon people attended the Spokane
show in great numbers and words Of
high praise were heard from visitors as
to the beauty and large extent of the
show. The Portland Commercial Club
ran a special excursion to Spokane,
carrying a number Of prominent bust
ness men from Portland, who were
given a fine reception by the Spokane
Chamber of Commerce. The apple
fair was bigger and better than ever,
according to them, and promises ever
greater things in the future.
Lyle, Wash, was successful in car
rying away the district prize at the
Spokane apple show for non-irrigated
apples, the exhibit from that place be-
ing awarded first honors, with a cash
award of $3.50. The fruit was grown
along the Klickitat river near Lyle, and
was beautiful in color and form. Last
year Lyle took a similar prize.

GUARD AGAINST RAINS
Two Trains Delayed as Result of Heavy
Rains and Winds

The severe rains and winds Of the past
SO hours have caused a certain amount
OF uneasiness among the railroads. AS a
result every precaution was taken yester-
day to prevent accidents, and up to a late
hour last night trains were operated into
Birmingham on time with few excep-
tons.
Despite the precautions taken the Louis
vile and Nashville and the Alabama
Great Southern were sufferers from the
rains
Train No. last night over the Louis
ellie and Nashville was about two hours
late. A bridge was washed away on the
Montgomery and Mobile division and re-
pairs were necessary before the trains
could pass. This was the extent Of the
Louisville and Nashville damage.
The Alabama Great Southern was
forced to spend special repairers to a
point below Tuscaloosa yesterday to re-
pair some wires which were blown down
by the high winds The wire troubles did
not last very long and every train on the
Queen and Crescent came into Birming-
ham on time.
