GOVERNORS SPECIAL IN SAN
 FRANCISCO WEDNESDAY
Will Select Site and Attend to Preli- minaries for Arkansas Building at Exposition. R. P. Allen Ap-
 pointed Commissioner.

Little Rock, June 23.-(Special. )- By Wednesday afternoon the special bearing Governor George w. Hays and party will reach San Francisco, where they will select the site for the Arkan- sas building at the Panama Pacific International Exposition and arrange other preliminaries regarding the Ar kansas exhibit at the coming Worlds Fair.
 Dispatches received here from along the route of the special indicate that everywhere the Arkansans are being royalty received. Governor Elliott w. Majors of Missouri met them at St. Louis and accompanied the party to Kansas City While en route from St. Louis to Kansas City Governor Majors proposed to Governor Hays that Missouri and Arkansas dedicate their fair buildings on consecutive days, thus enabling the event to be in the nature of a joint celebration. The proposition was accepted.
 At Kansas City the Arkansas party had the pleasure of being taken in charge by A. DeBernardi, formerly superintendent of the Iron Mountain lines in Arkansas and now high in railway official circles in Missouri.
 Leaving Kansas City the party will traverse Kansas, Colorado, Utah and Arizona, en route to the Golden Gate City. At Salt Lake City, where they spent several hours Monday, they had the honor of special recital on the famous pipe organ in the Mormon Temple This honor is accorded only in rare cases and indicates the cordial manner in which the Arkansas gover- nor and party are being received throughout the West.
 In California a special reception committee from the management of the fair will be at the state line to welcome the Arkansas delegation, and every possible courtesy will be extend ed. Governor Hays is anxious that Arkansas secure one of the most ad- vantageous sites for the location of the state building, and has the hearty cooperation of the Worlds Fair off cials in this matter.
 Col F. B. T. Hollenberg of Little Rock, commissioner general for Ark ansas accompanies the party, as does J. w. Dean, superintendent of the Mis- souri-Paciic lines in Arkansas, and who will use every resource in his power to secure for Governor Hays and the delegation the most perfect cooperation on the part of the rail way authorities. Others in the party include MT. and Mrs. George Grayson. of Graysonia; Hilton Winham and daughter of TeXarkana; s. A. Claude, Texarkana; B. F. Biggers, Biggers; Judge Harry E. Cook, Lake Village; P. A. Dieseh, Helena; V A. Beeson Morrilton; George R. Mann, Little Rock, George R. Brown, secretary Board of Trade, Little Rock, and others.
 It is interesting to know that every member of the party is paying his own expenses. It is not a junket at the expense of the state. Those who have gone to San Francisco to assist in the preliminary work of proper representation in Arkansas in the greatest industrial exhibit ever plann- ed, and the one in which the Southern States, especially Arkansas, should be keenly interested, are spending their own time and money from sense of public spirit and civic pride.
 Just before leaving for San Fran cisco, Governor Hays appointed R. P. Allen, formerly chairman of the Ark ansas Railroad Commission, commis- sioner to assist in the campaign for great Arkansas exhibit at the worlds fair, and Mr. Allen has just been made chairman of the publicity bureau re- quired to keep the state informed of the progress being made in this re- gard. The cooperation of the Arkan sas editors is already assured, and this practically means the success of the exhibit campaign.
