 MT. Rodman stated that he had been in correspondence with C. G. Evans, who was here last year from Portland Ore, and now lives in San Francisco, regarding roque plans for the Panama Pacific exposition. MT. Rodman said he was going. and it appeared that there was good reason for going, as he had just beaten the president of the association.

Rcdman, however, said he wanted to go by way of the canal.
