screening the walls of the environing
exposition palaces. The columns will
be sixty feet in height; surmounting
the colonnade will be series of 10
figures symbolizing the stars. Each
figure will support huge artificial
jewel four feet In diameter. At night
these jewels will glitter with dazzling
lights; by day their radiance will be
obscured.
In the center Of the court will be
a great sunken garden with benches
to seat about 1000 people, surround
ing the garden. In the garden will
be groupings of classic statuary,
dancing figures. fauns. satyrs and
nymphs; flowers. trees and vines will
contrast with the statuary and with
the superb colonnades and the tow.
ering golden domes.
To the east as one passes from the
Court Of Sun and Stars to the great
east or Festive Court will be a huge
triumphal arch 80 feet In height and
surmounted by a colossal grouping of
statuary. Camels, elephants and
Oriental warriors will crown the sum-
NIT of the great arch. To the east
on the approach of the Court of Four
Seasons will be a triumphal arch of
similar size surmounted by group
representing western civilization. A
huge prairie schooner will comprise
the central motif OF the group.
AS the visitor in 1915 passes be-
meath either of the huge triumphal
arches to the east or Festive Court,
or to the west court, the Court Of
Four Seasons, he will traverse great
avenues between the exhibit palaces

trees and shrubs will lend warmth
and color to the esplanade.
Three great courts will divide the
main group of exposition buildings
from north to south. Their theme
will suggest the meeting of the east
and west at Panama. One of the
huge courts, that on the east, will
suggest the Orient, rich in Oriental
splendors; another on the west, will
suggest the Occident, its theme ex-
employing the wealth which nature
has conferred upon the Saxon who
has ever pushed to the west. Be-
tween these two courts will be set
the greatest of all the courts, the
superb Court of the Sun and Stars,
its theme upon magnified scale
symbolizing the union Of the east and
west at Panama. This court will
stand out among the most brilliant
architectural expressions of America
and Europe. 1t will be distinguished
by the majestic scale of its architec-
ture; by the splendor of its concep-
ton, and by its life, color, and spirit
of joyousness. The color plan of this
court, as indeed of all the great
courts, Is designed by Jules Guerin,
the foremost decorative
artist in America.
Beautiful Color Effects.
In the courts marvellous blendings
of colors will be attained. Pompeiian
red, strong Italian blues, vermilion
and orange will predominant. The
roofs of the exhibit palaces will be
covered with Spanish tile, reddish

Tie exposition size at Harbor view.

Tie exposition size at Harbor View,
with its towering ampitheaters OF
hills and vast distances, called for
huge effects. The grouping of the
fourteen great exhibit palaces will
present this result From afar the
central group, facing for almost mile
upon San Francisco harbor, will seem
as one colossal structure, a great
Oriental city, with walls as high as
the average six-story city block and
with golden domes, towers and
tower gateways rising to heights of
150 270 and 400 feet. Nearer at hand
it will be found that great inner
courts lie between the buildings.
Eight of the fourteen buildings in the
main group will be Joined in a rec
tangle to form almost huge Oriental
bazar-a veritable walled city with
its domes, towers, minarets and great
interior courts.
In general the buildings Of the cen
trail group are to be brought into
contact with those next adjoining by
arcades, courts and archways.
Through this method of treatment
four of the general exhibit palaces
Of the main group, fronting north
upon San Francisco bay but set back
at a distance from the waters edge,
will present a single architectural de-
sign. Their walls and the adjoining
arches will form the main northern
facade of the exposition along the
shores of the harbor, a marvellous
frontage that will be first seen by
visitors who reach the exposition city
by water and enter San Francisco bay
through the Golden Gate. By day
the glittering pillars and minarets of
this mile long facade will be seen
as dream city, while by night they
will reflect the sheen Of a million
lights into the waters of the bay.
A Great Espisnade.
Before the facade and along the
harbor's edge for more than a mile
there will be built great esplanade.
a vast stretch of ground and terraces
in which fountains will play and
groups of statuary be set at intervals.

the various tones. Ifr Guerin gives
the following word picture of his color
plan for the exposition:
Imagine a gigantic Persian rug Of
soft, melting tones, with brilliant
splashes here and there, spread down
for a mile or more. and you may get
some idea of what the Panama Pa
cific exposition will look like if viewed
from a distance, say from the Sau-
salito Heights, across the Golden
Gate. For San Francisco's Is to be
unique among the expositions of the
world in that it will be 4 City of
Color Not that color is the chiefest
value Of the exposition, for its archi-
tectural features are equally remark
able. This color plan, that of making
the group of buildings a veritable
blaze of glory and at the same time
avoiding the garish or barbaric, is
the great new salient feature Of the
exposition"
The Court of the Sun and Stars
will be $50 feet in width from east
to west and 800 feet along its main
axis, At the south end of the court
will arise the huge tower of the Ad-
ministration building, 400 feet in
height, and dominating the architec-
ture of the exposition. The upper
part of the tower will take the form
of terraces leading up to a group OF
figures surrounding a globe typifying
the world; the tower will be lined
with jewels which will glitter like
diamonds when searchlights are
turned upon them. At the base of
the tower, which will occupy an acre
in extent, will be a huge arcade 1875
feet high, beneath which the visitor
may enter into the Court of Sun and
Stars from the main exposition en-
trance.
In the vaulted archways of the
tower will be grouped a series of
mural paintings designed by Jules
Guerin and expressing the keynote
Of the exposition color scheme But
perhaps the most impressive feature
Of the Court Of Sun and Stars will be
found in classic colonnade extend

DR.. REDDY SECURES
Cash FOR RAILROAD

DR.. Reddy made arrangements
while in Spokane recently for cash
with which to continue the grade
work on the municipal railroad to
Wilderyille, and that $4,000 are
available in blocks of ;2,5OO as
needed, with another $4,000 when
that is used, these sums to be put
up on warrants issued by the coun-
Gil, the first $4,000 having been al
ready issued by that body. A wire
TO Engineer Harmon from Mr..
Reddy stated that the arrangements
for the funds had been satisfactorily
completed, and that he was leaving
for Pendleton en- route home, but
would stop in the Roundup city to
see the big show. This $4,000 pro-
vided by DR.. Reddy will continue the
work till the bonds have been revolt
ed and the funds made available
from that source.
The graders on the right-of-way
are making excellent progress, about
25 teams and forty men now being
employed daily.

COMMISSION PROBES
LOCAL WATER RATES.

The members OF the state railroad
commission, Frank j. Miller, Thomas
H. Campbell and Clyde b. Aitchison,
accompanied by Secretary X. ii.
Corey, stenographers, attorneys and
clerks, are in session in the council
chambers at the city hall hearing eW-
dence in the application OF the
Rogue River Water Co. for permis
sion to raise its rates for service to
its patrons in Grants Pass. The
railroad commission has jurisdiction
over all public utilities within the
state, and questions Of rates and of
service must come before it.
This present case was precipitated
when the city council last winter at
tempted to make radical reductions
in the rates that the water company
was charging its patrons. This Or
dinance did not become effective, the
city being enjoined from making the
ordinance effective. The water com
pany then made application to the
commission for permission to deter
mine upon a just schedule for the
local service.
The present rates charged by the
water company include a charge Of
81 per month for water for ordinary
household use for drinking cooking
and washing. An extra charge of %
cents per month is made for bath
tub, and Of so cents for toilet The
city through its ordinance attempted
to make the household rate based
upon amount OF water used fifty
cents for the first 5000 gallons,
eight cents per thousand above that.
The company in It's petition asks per
mission TO increase the household
rates to $3.50 for general use. 80
cents per month for bath tub, and
60 cents per month for toilet Other
rates in the schedule are increased
In proportion
The company bases It's request for
the increased rates upon the con
tention that it is not now making a
reasonable income from it's invest.
ment. and that the increase is de.
wanded as q business proposition. II
contends that It has a property in.
vestment OF i12.H23.55, and that

$50 for the first and $50 for the
second. The dairy herds of the
county have been largely added to
