has issued an appeal to the fruit grow
ers of the state to furnish him with
orange trees for identifying the

These trees will not he required I'M
til next fall. Mr. McLaren would like
to have the trees that have a spread
of branch from ten to twelve feet. He
assumes the privilege of sending ex-
perts to the orchards to root prune
and prune the trees and prepare them
for shipment to the exposition.
On February 20, President Charles
C.. Moore of the Panama Pacific In

careful review of progress upon the
exposition enabled the managem sit to
repeat and emphasize its promise
made a year ago that the exposition
will be ready in every detail and

A record number of applications for
participation in the$ worlds fair at
San Francisco by foreign nations and
states and territories of the United
States government has assured the
most comprehensive. display ever
made.
Hundredssof conventions anc confer

ama-Pacific International exposition
in 1915, to be held in the various fes-
tiyal halls and auditoriums which are
6nir cd Iof
both in the exposition itself and in the
city OF San Francisco. One of the
most striking of these conferences will
be congress of the musicians of the
world when massed chorus of 10000
voices gathered from the best singers
of all nations will render classical
music from day to day A notable
feature OF this congress will be the
rendition of folk songs presented by
numerous folk lose societies from
every quarter Of the globe.
To date the applications for conces-
sions in the Panama-Pacific Interna-
tional Exposition exceed in numbers
and excel in originality any similar
features of previous expositions They
include reproductions in miniature of
the Panama Canal, Yellowstone Ma
.tional Park and the Grand Canyon of
the Colorado river, each of which is
being erected at an expenditure ex-
ceeding s250,000.
Rapid progress is being made upon
the sculpture and color plans of the
Panama. Pacific International EXPOSE
tion. The whole scheme of color in
the exposition is under the distinguish
ed direction of Mr. Jules Guerin, ac-
knowledged as Americas grea:es. arr

The illumination of the Panama

form a remarkable attraction The
work is under the direction of Mr.
w. D'A Ryan, in charge of the light

perfected a scheme enabling him to
produce light effects undreamed of al

that was ever used before A sum
exceeding $4,000 has been expended
in single line of experiment in the
development of cut glass refiectors, to
be known as jewels for use at the ex-
position The results to be produced
for their reflected light will be of a
startling and scientifically wonderful
nature.
After nearly year OF negotiations
between the exposition management
and the national association of auto
mobile manufacturers. an agreement
has been rc ached under which there
will be palace erected solely de-
voted to the exhibition of automo-
biles and what pertain to automobiles.
This palace will be erected at cost
of several hundred thousand dollars,

A stupendous and record breaking
exhibition of automobiles and motor
cycles, accessories, and everything
that pertains to auto transportation,
will be one of the most distinctive
features of the Panama-Pacific Inter-
nationaf Exposition in San Francisco

der, assistant county engineer, went
over the work and reported that $160
was all that it properly should cost.
This came to light when the, bills
for the construction of sidewalk and
| curbing were presented to the city
engineer, and when the latter, it is
stated, fatty refused to approve the
amounts, stating that the sum charg-
ed for the work was exorbitant.
The work was let out on the Tcom-
mission basis ostensibly to d. r. De-
vine, but il is said at the road depart
ment the work was done under the d.
rect supervision of Hardesty, and the
vouchers show that the latter valued
his services at five dollars a day,
which is the same amount as, that
charged by Devine.
Three bills for the work were put
in. The first was for $3.50, the sec
ond for $42.24, and the third for s24.-
80, making total of $3s2.24, which is
considerably more than double the
amount the work was expected to
cost.
1t is the custom In granting COM
mission work" to allow the contractor
ten per cent of the total cost, provid-
ing he furnishes his own tools, and
five per cent If the city furnishes the
tools In this case it is said Devine
and Hardesty were given the tools by
the city, yet they figured their work
on the ten per cent basis, as appears
from the vouchers. .
1t is pointed out that not only is
Hardesty a supervisor, but in addi-
ton to that, as a member of the road
committee, it would be his duty to
pass on the work This he has not
yet done, due to the action of the
engineers. it was stated today.
He is making efforts, it was stated
this morning. to settle the matter with
the engineering department, but so
far his efforts have been unsuccessful,
as Whitehouse is i'll.
Ha-desty could not be reached by
the Star-Bulletin this morning, and
employees at the city hall were reli-
cent, stating that they preferred the

MARINE ART EXHIBIT
TO CLOSE THIS WEEK

w. A. Coulter, the marine painter,
will return to San Francisco by the
steamer Wilhelmina sailing next
week. Consequently he can not keep
his exhibit in the hall over Castle &
Cookies open beyonds the end OF this
week
, There was persistent rumor the
latter part of las tweek that Mr..
Coulter had sold his masterpiece,
Burning the Blue Light" to George
Beckley for $4,000, but it proves to
have been too good to be true, as the
artist said this morning when ques-
toned. 1t would indeed be a grand
thing il this great picture could be
retained in Honolulu, which 1t is
hoped will be the maritime center of
the Pacific after the opening of the
Panama Canal.
There are many other pieces OF
smaller dimensions than the caster
piece, which would enrich appropriate
yany Honolulu collection Time is
yet left for patrons of art to make
selections from Mr.. CoultE's exhibit.
Catalogues are available at the place.

This Years Eclipses.

During the year 1913 there will
be three eclipses OF the sun and
two of the moon, but for the most
part the people of the United States
will not see them. The first of these
phenomena was a total eclipse of
the moon, last night-Easter eve.
A partial eclipse of the sun on
April will be visible to the north
western portion of the United States
but will not carry any particular sig
nificance. The same will be true OF
a partial eclipse of the sun on Aug.
ust 81. 1t will be seen only by in
habitants of Greenland and the mar.
itime provinces of Eastern Canada.
One of the most interesting eclips'
es in the year 1913 will be that of the
moon on September 16, which will be
total observation and will
be visible in Australia and
the Pacific ocean. Most of the Uni
ted States and Asia will be able to
view the eclipse at it's beginning
It's ending will be visible to the north
western Portion of North America.
