EXPOSITION WILL
NOT BE POSTPONED

There have been unfounded ru-
mors that the Panama. Pacific In
ternational Exposition, to be held
at San Francisco, and the Panama
California Exposition, to be held
at San Diego, in 1915, would be
postponed on account of the war in
Europe.
Officials of both Expositions
have announced positively t h a t
they will open on their scheduled
dates, the San Diego on January
lst, and the San Francisco Expo
sition on February 20, 1915,
Not one of the nations at war
has notified the Exposition officials
of an intention to withdraw It's
participations; in fact, notice has
already been given by Holland,
France and Italy that their plans
will remain unchanged. There is
therefore, no reason to believe that
the foreign participation will be
injured in the least, or that the
general success of the Expositions
which was assured a few weeks
ago. will be lessened in any de-
gree.

Mo-, was closed Thursday. Mrs.
Waller returned to Kansas City
Thursday night to make arrange
ments to move her household goods

thirty days. We have been un-
able to learn as to the amount of
money involved in the deal, but a
two-story brick dwelling house in
one of the best residence sections
of Kansas City was part of the con-
sideration. The sale included all
the live stock on the ranch. The
purchaser intends to make quite a
number of improvements on the
place. She spent the summer at
Wagon Wheel Gap and has been
desirous of purchasing mountain

Mr.. Haney expects to leave soon

Lands Should Be in
Hands of the People

1t seems that the ultra -conservationists of the
East have been turned down in their efforts to Sc
cure favorable action on their plan of leasing the
coal lands, water power sites, and public grazing
lands This indicates that the leasing policy does
not obtain with the present administration. The
Mondell BILL providing for grazing leases
hopelessly lost but in its place comes the Fer
guson Grazing Homestead bill which is favorably
mentioned for passage. This bill permits the tax
ing up of section of grazing land to be used for
grazing purposes. The homesteader is not re-
quired to live the land, but make improve
in the way of fences, corrals development
of water to the extent of $l25 per acre which
will entitle him to make proof and receive patent
1t is very probable that this bill will be amended
to allow two sections instead of one to be taken
1t is claimed that the public lands would soon
pass into the hands of the people if the Ferguson
bill should become a law, and that the much-vexed
land question would satisfactorily settle itself.
THE OPINION of William Randolph Hearst
suggests unique and possible solution to the
plan of settling difficulties Hearst says:
Time will be when society will include nations
within its organization, when united navies will
patrol the in the interest of peace and united
armies will police the land. Then any ruler who
dsturbs the peace will be arrested and jailed and
any king BY the Grace of God who commits in
spires instigaes murder will be duly and proper
y hanged.

honor of the visit of their Grand
Chancellor f. F. Schreiber, of
Colorado Springs. In addition to
a musical program, Chancellor
Schreiber gave an address which
was listened to with interest, and
from which the following are ex-
tracts:
"The order of knights of Pyth-
las is fraternal organization of
noble minded, generous hearted,
unselfsh men, bound together by
indissoluble ties of friendship. Its
doors are open to all good men
who believe in God. 1t recognizes
all sections, all parties, all creeds,
and guarantees to each the fullest
freedom of thought. 1t incurs no
obligation in conflict with religious
or political beliefs, or contrary to
good citizenship and true man
hood. In fact, every obligation
and every duty of a true Knight
makes for higher and better citi-
zenship, truer and nobler man
hood and a broader humanitarian
service.
"Its objeots-to teach men the
beauties and benefits of the prac-
tical application of Pythian friend
ship, charity and benevolence; to
guard and protect the good name
of its members; to assist worthy
brother in distress; to care for the
sick and bury the dead, and to ex-
ercise watchful and fraternal care
over the needy widows and orphans
of our departed brothers.
"The order of Knights of Pyth-
las was founded by Justus Fl.
Rathbone, February 19, 1864. 1t
now numbers nearly three quarters
of a million members in good
standing, 1t expends million
and half dollars annually for the
relief of distress and suffering hu-
manity.
''In many states it has establish
ed homes for the care and educa-
ton of the needy widows and
orphans of its departed members.
Colorado has started a fund for
that purpose which we hope will
grow rapidly, so that such home
may soon be established in this
state.

deep sorrow the awful slaughter Of
human lives in the terrible Euro

sequent m isery and suffering
which must follow in it's wake.
1T has an Insurance Depart
ment, open to members of the
order only, which has grown to be
a giant in strength and resources,
and which furnishes safe insur-

"The 'Pythian Sisters is an
auxiliary organization for mothers,
wives and daughters of Knights.
Its motto is Purity, Love, Equali-
ty and Fidelity 1t is a noble
order of high and pure minded,
generous hearted, unselfish women
