The Worlds Fair of the Future.

In all probability the city of San Francisco will hold an international exposition, or, as it is more popularly known, a "World's Fair" to cele- brate the opening of the Pauama Canal in 1915. If the promoters of the fair are willing to profit by the lessons of former expositions, their efforts will be directed to making the coming fair notable, not for mere bulk and area, but for its compact. ness and the genuine excellence of its carefully selected exhibits. The trouble with many previous exposi- tions has been that they were big to the point of being wearisome and oppressive. A climax in this direc- tion was reached at the St. Louis Fair, in one single building of which a visitor had to traverse nine miles of aisles if he wished merely to walk past the whole of the exhibits. Whatever may be the ulterior mo- tive, the ayowed object of these ex- hibitions is educational. Therefore, they should contain only the most distinctive and valuable results of the worlds scientific, industrial, sociological, and constructive work And in this connection we would ask whether it is not almost an insult to the good taste and intelligence of the millions that are solicited to en- ter such an exposition, if a large sec tion of its space is devoted to that cheap form of entertainment which was iuaugurated by the notorious Midway Plaisance at the Chicago Expositoon. San Francisco will have a great opportunity, by breaking away from certain false traditions, to render this, the latest of the exposi- tions, something better than a mere plaything of the real-estate dealer, the side-show man, and the poli- tiCiau.

Husband Goes On Honeymoon Leaving
 Bride.

GLOBE, Ar:z.-Leaying his pretty bride behind in this city, George Castagnetto, a member of the local Italian colony, left for Italy last week to spend the most singular honeymoon trip ever originated in this part of the country. Castag- netto was married here in the pres ence of many friends. As the cere- mony was completed the groom sur prised everyone, including the young wife, by announcing he would leave at once for the fatherland.
 It developed that Ca5tagnetto had been planning to visit his boyhood home for some time. Before he was able to leave he fell in love with pretty Louise Bonnino, and she con- sented to marry him. Taking no chances of losing his sweetheart, Castagnetto had the nuptial knot tied and then announced he would re- turn home. The husband dried his wife's tears by promising to "hurry back" He completed his hurried preparations for the trip, and left for New York alone, where he will sail fer Italy.

A FEELING TRIBUTE TO
 GEN. ROBERT E. LEE.
By One of His Companions In Arms, faVOrabIy Compared With Many
 of Heroes.

The following clipping is from the Tucson Star, and handed to the ERA by prominent Clifton democrat:
 A subscriber has asked The Star to reproduce this, the tribute paid to General Robert E. Lee, before the Southern Historical society, at At lanta, Georgia, February IS, 1874, by Benj. H. Hill.
 "When the future historian comes to survey the character of Lee, he will find it rising like a huge noun tain above the undulating plain of humanity, and he must lift his eyes high toward heaven to catch its sum- init.
 "He possessed every virtue of other great commanders without their vices. He was foe without hate, friend without treachery, a soldier without cruelty, a victor without oppression, and a victim without muruuring. He was pub lie officer without vices, a private citizen without wrong, neighbor without reproach, a Christian with out hypocrisy, and a man without guile.
 "He was Ceasar without his am bitiou, Frederick without his tyran- ny, Napoleon without his selfshness, and Washington without his reward. He was obedient to authority as a servant and royal in. authority as a true king. He was gentle as a wo- man in life, modest and pure as a virgin in thought, watchful as a Roman vestal in duty, submissive to the law as Socrates, and grand in battle as Achilles"

Indian Motto is no LOneer Used.

No longer will the Indian chief and | his headress of feathers signify the head of the El Paso and Southwest ern. For many years, the Indian, | typical of the West, has had his feat ures portrayed ou the cars, stationery and advertising of this road, but even this solace must give way to the the demands of modern commercial ism.
 For it has been learned by experi- ence that the Indian head, with it's copper color, indicative of the red metal stored in the mountains of Ari- zona and Mexico, is not a practicable mark of identification. The features are too difficult to paint. In the sign boards which the road uses to adver- tise its services, it has been found that it takes a painter with consider able artistic ability to paint an In- dian head that will not be carica- ture instead of the dignifed features of an Indian chief.
 The new design has been chosen,
 
 "a large number of cuts which they will use on their stationery and in their advertising. The new trade mark consists of the words "El Paso SJ Southwestern" in circle, in white letters, on a black background. A bar, with the same color features, runs straight across the circle, and bears the words "The Southwestern Route"
 In q few short months the new trade mark will be familiar and the old one the less conspicuous of the two. For whenever a new car is built or an old one painted, the new design will be substituted for the old. All board signs painted in the future will bear the new trade mark, as will the folders and other advertising ma tier of the road.

Points Regarding the Census.

The census begins April I5 and must be completed in two weeks in cities and in thirty days in all other areas The enumerators will wear a badge inscribed "United States Census, 19l0."
 The law requires every adult person to furnish the prescribed information but also provides that it shall be treated conlidentially, so that no in- jury can come to any person from an swering the questions.
 The President has issued a proclaim ation, calling on all citizens to CO., operate with the Census and assuring them that it has nothing to do with taxation, army or jury service, com pulsory school attendance, regulation of immigration, or enforcement of ahy law, and that no one can be in- jured by arswering the inquiries.
 It is of the utmost importance that the census of population aud agricul- ture in this territory be complete and correct.
 Therefore every person should promptly, accurately, and completely answer the Census questions asked by the enumerators. ttf)

Mining News and Developments.
ARIZONA COMMERCIAL.

General Manager J. w. Bennie, in charge of mining operations at the Arizona Commercial is quoted as say ing that the discOuraging statements concerning Arizona Commercial are not well founded, and adds that there is no doubt that deeper developments will open new ore bodies. He further says that exploration at depth will probably be soon undertaken, and that il the water problem had not in- terfered, the mine would have been opened to very much greater extent than is today the case.
 Prosecuting from the foot-wall to the hanging wall of the Black Hawk vein on the seventh level will prob ably be commenced immediately. The reason given at the mine for the failure to crosscut the ore body be- fore is that the mine crew was needed elsewhere.
 MT. Bennie says that current re- ports of the shelter being short of ore are without foundation, and that no avoidable delay in smeltiug opera ions has occurred.
 President Amster is quoted as say ing: "I still retain the utmost con- fdence in the value of the property and its ability ultimately to make good stand ready to advance fur ther funds for the prosecution of m0r1 ,,otmifbs+o rdi1r m, +od,u the largest stockholder in the company aud own substantially all of it's pres ent floating indebtedness.
 i've have added between 200 and 300 shareholders during the past few weeks. This, of course, strengthens the technical position of the com pany's shares.
 1t is childish for one to lose hope completely because one level in a mine happens, for the time being, to show lower naturalization. An in- vestor who is not immune to the I.yicissitudes of underground conditions should not put his money in copper shares.
 NO HS" HbdHSlnS lS COHlSul PldlSu by Arizona Commercial at the pres ent time and the shelter will con- tinue to run on ores from the fourth, fifth and sixth levels.
 II am just as sure that Arizona Commercial will again sell at 50 as I was when predicted that Old Domin- ion, then selling at 5, would again sell at 40. Old Dominion (of New Jersey) later sold at 1O6. The Black Hawk vein on which Arizona Commercial is operating, is a strong, vigorous vein and has much in store for us. This is no time for Encouragement"

The Business Situation.

James J. Hill says the only danger of business depression lies in the in- ability of the railroads of the coun- try to handle the traffic which will be offering. He states that the country will need $1O,0OO,OOO, ,OOO in the next six years in order to avoid such con gestion. On the other hand Presi- dent Brown, of the New York Cen tral, says that railroad facilities are not what is needed as much as more products of the soil. MT. Hill prophesied once before that there would be congestion of traffic and it came. He may be equally as good prophet at this time.
 There are some industries, how ever, which would be glad to see MT. Hills prediction fulfilled, as they are not particularly well occupied with work. Their salesmen come back from the road and report that the high cost of commodities is keeping the consumer from buying and they are unable to mark their goods any lower with raw material at present prices. Although the commercial agencies report a good volume of trade it is more by comparison with last year than with a normal period menacing features.
 Gold exports have begun, although on comparatively small scale so far, although our foreign trade is in such position that Europe can make de- mands upon us which will play large part in the money market. The bank of France is we'll fixed as re- gards its gold supply, and if it is in- clined 10 help out the bank of Eng land in that way, not so much gold will be exported from the United States, but if the officials of the bank of France sit tight, there is nothing left for Great Britain to do but draw against this country. Of course if money rates go up the price of commodities will come down and with a decline in the price of com- modities will come an increase in foreign demand and this in turn will help to right our foreign trade situ- ation and reduce if not stop gold ex- ports.
 The coal strike situation is not yet menacing and the labor situation on the railroads has not arrived at a crucial point. The New Haven and some other roads have granted an in- crease in wages to their employees, but the New Haven has also filed an increased tariff schedule to offset to certain extent this increase in wages. This will not in any way re- duce the cost of living, as the addi- tional freight charges will come out of the consumer who, in the last analysls, has to pay for .he increased wages of the tra1nman.
 The best experts on crops estimate that the prospect for winter wheat is about the same, as regards volume, as year ago which, added to the large proportion of reserve in farm ers' hands reported a few weeks ago speaks better for railroad earnings than for higher grain prices. The initial report of the department of agriculture on crops sown last fall is due to appear. It is anticipated they will make a more favorable showing than at the same time last year, although conflicting reports have been numerous enough to cast doubt upon it.
