Especial to the Silver State.)
WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.-Those
who have been privileged to see the
photographs of the Panama California
exposition buildings, so far as tae
plans have been approved by the
management, have pronounced them
not only beautiful and artistic, but diff
ferent from anything else they have
seen before. Architects give them
high praise. The buildings, standing
as they will in a slightly location, CON-
manding a magnificent view Of the
beautiful bay of San Diego and the
Pacific ocean, will be a landmark az
well as an architectural feature Of
rare charm. Domes, towers and arches
will be characteristic of the romantic
mission architecture and will bring
back to the recolleetions Of the pio-
neers the memories and romances of
old California, the land of gold, the
land of chivalry and the land Of
round hospitality and deeprooted
friendships "before the Gringo
came.'
A Persian Garden.
By no means incongruous, but fitting
into the schemes Of things with the
utmost harmony, is the Persian garden
through which one will approach the
great "lath house, which will be one
Of the most remarkable features Of the
Panama California International ex-
position.
Akin to the Moorish in color and
outline, the Persian type will be bean
tifully exemplified in the garden with
its still pools, filed with lotus and lily
pads, aglow with the refulgence Of pro
digally flowing plants and gorgeous
with shrubbery and vines Of the region
where the bubul sings in the moon
light with liquid melody, such as gives
inspiration to Oriental poets and fer
vency to lovelorn gallants twanging
ments beneath latticed windows. The
It will be a fitting introduction to the
"lath house, which is destined to be-
! come famous.
The Lath House.
Not by this name will the public
come to know and remember the lath
house of the San Diego exposition. It
would tax the ingeh dity of any artist
Or dreamer to affix a name to this
structure wich would fttingly char
acterize it. Arising as if sustained by
invisible chains from the blue dome of
the sky, the lath homes will loom 100
feet high, and yet that will not seem a
great height, for the space it will
cover is 600 feet square, or the equiva-
lent of four city blocks. This airy
framework will allow the air to enter
and circulate freely, and at the same
time it will temper the atmosphere SO
that the most delicate and tender Of
vegetation from the tropics can be
cultivated there. IT will cover the
lath framework with it's luxuriance
and the public will see little but clam.
bering vines, fern fronds higher than
man IS head, palms of varieties never
seen in the temperate zone, except in
the lighthouses of the wealthy, and
flowers in great abundance, with play
ing fountains and band music, and
birds of every hue fitting about the
great verdure incased amphitheatre.
Surely the public will soon christen
the lath house anew and give it name
which will more appropriately express
the wonders it contains.
Progressives Active.
Older party organizations have beer
amazed at the activity shown in thu
progressive Republican headquarter,
in this city. IT is etimated that fifty
clerks are sending out tons OF lltera
ture at cost of $1,000 a week. This
lit is said, is soon to be doubled. Ths
suggestion is offered that some "inter
ests'' hoetile to the denomination oi
President Taft are behind this orea'
activity.
| Investigators Getting Ready.
As the opening Of congress ap
Iproaches, the various investigating
committees are getting ready to re
sumo their sittings. Some of the big
gest men in the business world, like
u. P. Morgan, Andrew Carnegie ani
James J. Hill, have said that they
would attend the hearings and give
testimony.
Democrats Get Busy.
Announcement is made that ths
Democratic national committee will
meet in this city January sth, to fl,
the time and place for the national
convention which will nominate the
presidential candidate for the party
1t will be sort of jubilee, and key
note speeches will be delivered from
which one may be able to forecast the
arguments to be used in the campaiga
Probably all of the prominent candi
dates for the first place on the ticket
