Erected in Memory of Spanish
Priest is to Be Dedicated
at San Diego.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 16.-Col. D. G.
Collier, president of the San Diego
exposition. was sitting in his apart
ment at the shoreham, holding in his
hand cablegram announcing that
the Spanish minister. Senior Don
Riano y Gayangos, had been instruct
ed to proceed to San Diego to assist
in the dedication of the cross erected
to the memory of Father Junipero
Sierra and the site for the Balboa
monument, which ceremonies will
take place this month, the 25th, 26th
and 9th.
1T will be a historical event" OBJ
served Col. Collier, "and we are high
ly pleased that the king of Spain
elects to recognize this celebration OF
the 4oOth anniversary of the discovery
of the Pacific ocean.
With the great development of ma
chinery of various kinds, 1t seems rea-
sonable to expect something quite
wonderful at the exposition in the
way of machinery building" was
suggested by the interviewer.
Perhaps so" responded Col. Col
lier; but the fact is that we shall
not have any machinery building at
all. 1t may seem strange to have an
exposition without machinery build
ing but at the San Diego exposition all
of the machinery will be very buslly
engaged in the work for which 1t was
designed.
The idea is not to have any dead
exhibits. For instance, we shall have
coal mine in operation, and people
will be able to go through the mine
and see just how the coal is extracted,
taken to the surface of the ground.
sorted and shipped. The machinery
engines. hosting apparatus, pneu-
matte drills and all the rest of it,
will be there, but 1t will be in active
use. Merely displayed in a huge
building, it would have little interest
for anyone save the machinery ex-
perts. Put to its proper use, it will
interests the experts even more, while
the general public will be given a
great lesson in the workings of mod
ern mine by modern machinery.
That is the idea underlying the
whole exposition. There will be no
inert exhibits. Take another instance.
The International Harvester Company
will make wonderfully interesting
display. But 1t will show its triumphs

will have model farm, with grain
growing under irrigation in the most
scientific manner, with everything
lighted by electricity, with the most
improved machinery at work,-every
sort of implement usec by the farmer
up to the reapers, binders, threshers,
and so forth, giving practical dem
onstration Of how the crops are raised
and harvested. There could be moth
ing more fascinating than this.
There will be number of model
farms and orchards. but to rr-- lie

most interesting of all .lese will
be the grove of orange, lemon and
other citrus trees now growing and
being prepared as the exhibit of the
southern counties, which produce the
bulk of the oranges and lemons con-
sumed in the United States. This or
chard is making wonderful growth
under the scientific care given it. and
visitors to the exposition will be able
to observe the methods of irrigation,
cultivation, and fruit picking and
packing The lemon trees blossom
and bear fruit the year round, so that
the same tree will have on it blossoms
and fruit ready for picking. There
will also be typical residence or
bungalow where the people in charge
of the farm will live, and various
other features illustrating the mode
