ARIZONA WILL DISPLAY
HER GREAT RESOURCES

SAN DIEGO, June 27.-Arizona,
through her commission to the San
Diego exposition, has selected her site
and if the recommendations of the
commission are carried out will eX-
pend $250,000 on her exhibits
The commission visited the site of
the exposition and, examining the
plans and grounds, selected two and
half acres on the most prominent
part of the section allotted to states.
This site is to be covered with lawns
and trees and in the center will be the
Arizona building, structure that is
to cost at least $4,000. Arizona has
always been liberal in her participa-
ton at eXpositions, but on this oc-
casion argues that no other state is in
position to derive as much benefit
from the San Diego exposition as is
Arizona. owing to her contiguous situ-
alton, her resources and her Oppor-
tunities. The exposition is to appeal
to those interested in reclamation.
traction of immigration. These four
things coupled with mining industry
Arizona is giving the greater atten-
ton. For this reason the commission
holds that she must make an extra
effort and that her section in San
Diego must be the most extensive of
any state in the union, she being Il
large part of the southwest, a part of
the territory of San Diego and the
state having the greatest undeveloped
opportunities.
Work on the section devoted to the
southern counties of California is pro
crossing satisfactorily. Flowing and
grading is going on and the planta-
ton is TO start just as soon as Com
missioner Wilson of the southern
counties board can get at it. The en-
gineering force of the exposition is
working on plans and specifications
for the building, which will cost near
ly 100000.
Other work going on at the expo
sition site includes grading for the
main east entrance, for the main
parade, finishing of service buildings
and emergency field hospital, propa-
cation at the huge nursery, where are
now over 100000 worth of rare plants,
ferns and trees, and engineering work
for the great bridge. Plans for the
California building are also being pre-
pared. This structure will cost about
100000 if present plans are carried
out

tracks which were recently found
there on the ice on Lake Wassookeag
leading to n hole in the ice still re-
remain mystery. No attempt has
been made to drag the bottom Of the
pond in the vicinity where the tracks
ceased and 1t Is unlikely that such
will be done unless some person turns
out to be missing in the near future.
While many feel reasonably sure
that tragedy occurred on the lake
no one attempts to say or has any
idea of whom the person may be. Some
advance the claim that it may be some
one from outside the village who In
tended to take a train at the station
and that several weeks may pass be-
fore they would be reported as miss
