a department Of domestic science.
The high school has also a well

Three railroads afford excellent
transportation facilities. A sanitary
sewer system insures its waterlsup
ply from any contamination. Six
miles Of cement sidewalks contribute

Splendid public buildings give it an
air Of thrift and prosperity. Plenty
of water for irrigation and fertile soil
enable its citizens to have beautiful
lawns about their homes All IN all,
it is a most pleasant place to live
The point which renders all these
advantages of especial interest to
people of moderate means is the fact
that lands In the vicinity of DeIning

THE TWO Elk
POSITIONS
San Francisco and San Diego
to Have Magnificent
World Shows

San Francisco has followed
close after San Diego in the selec-
ton OF an exposition site, and it
is unique and far-hung in its mag
nifcence. At San Diego matters
are still a little in advance, how
ever. Not only has ground been
broken for the southern exposi-
ton with great pomp and circum-
stance, but the officials have Sc
lected their plans for the group
OF buildings, which will be in the
striking Mission Renaissance
style, reminiscent Of the Moors
and the Alhambra; OF the domed
structures OF Tunis and Algiers;
Of the minarettes Of Constantine
pie, and OF the more modern but
equally interesting missions
which are strung along the Cali
fornia coast from San Diego to
San Rafael. Few persons know
that the great cathedrals Of
South America, Mexico and Cen
trail America, and the grandly
simple missions of California are
among the most impressive eccle-
siastical structures in the world.
The best in all OF them will be
embodied in theexposition build
ings in San Diego, and they will
be Of brick, stone, cement, steel
and glass-built to stand forever
in beautiful Balboa park for the
delight and use ofposterity. The
best talent to be had in America
was chosen by Director-General
=. c. Collier, with the approval
OF the directors of the EXPOSE
ton, to design and carry into
execution the plans of the Expo
sition, and it is expected that
every detail of the great under
taking will be finished before the
gates OF the exposition grounds
open at midnight on the last day
OF the year 1914, to remain open
until midnight on the last day
of the year 1915.
A year-round exposition is
something new, but the climate,
one of the best assets of San Di-
ego, will be on exhibition every
minute of the time, and will be

MANY MEN FIRED

A Tuesday special from San
Francisco says: The Southern
Pacific railroad office today an
nounced that 5000 men will be
dropped from the payrolls Of the
Pacific systems by the end of
this month, and 2OOO men will
be dropped this week.
The order to reduce forces was
issued from the Offices of julius
Kruttschnitt, vice president and
director of maintenance and
operation of the Hartman sys-
tenn, and all seven Of the Harri-
roads are affected.
1t was stated that retrench-
ment was made by slack freight
conditions, short crops in the
northwest having tied up a large
number of cars, 165, sos OF which
remain idle.
1t was stated at the Offices of
the company here that the en-
ployes would be taken on again
in October, in the order Of their
seniority, if improved conditions
warrant such action.
A Salt Lake special Of the
same date says A retrench-
ment policy today by the man
agement Of the Oregon Short
Line, one of the Hartman roads,
to go into effect at once. In the
shops atSalt Lake an eight-hour,
five-day schedule will substitute
a nine-hour six-day schedule.
Two hundred men will be laid
off. A dozen clerks in the gen
eral offices and oneman in every
section gang will be let out. Loss
Of earnings and a prospective
crop shortage in the territory
served by the road are given as
reasons for the reduction OF the
force.

A'CS hhluE Will Uue llTSU OF the

went into active competition
with the Illustrated periodicals
and magazines, being able to
show the important news of the
world, not in cold type or still
pictures, but in actual moving
reproduction. The exhibitors
give their patrons no descript-

This novel idea, which it is be-

for this film of the worlds events
