FAIR NEED GREATER
 THAN EVER NOW

San Franciscos great exposition to commemorate the opening of the Pan anna canal, while 1t will fall in one pur' pose. has possibilities now of becom ing of indiAnitely more commercial value to the United States than was ever guessed at when the project was first launched. It may be large fac tor in developing the trade of the Unit ed States with countries which have heretofore done the largest share oi their purchasing in Europe. and 1t may help to bring the countries of this hemisphere into far closer relations than they have ever been.
 The countries of Asia and of South America will participate in the fair and make larger exhibits. There will be q splendid exhibit of the products of all of the States of the Union, or substantially all.
 The war, in putting stop to the usual summer exodus abroad of thousands of Americans, will also stop, for the same reeson, the visits to Europe of many thousands of well-to-do people from the countries of South America, who are accustomed to visit Europe as freely or even more freely than the people of the United States.
 With Europe closed to holiday wis. itors, 1t is easily possible that South Americans might spend their holidays in this country, especially if convinc- ed of the attractions of the fair. And 1t is certain that if many of them do so the way will be paved for greater demand for American goods. Indeed, this country must inevitably supply many of the wants of South America which have heretofore been filled from Europe in any event; but the more South American visitors there are to the exposition the easier the way will be for the introduction of American goods in those countries, for every visitor to the fair will see that there is little which Europe has to furnish in the way of manufactured goods which the United States cannot duplicate or improve upon. - Seattle Post.Intelllgencer.

MEN OF LETTERS TO FRONT
 IN THE FRENCH ARMY
(By Gertrude E. Mnllette. ]

NDy SSA uuS C' MdllSIIe.)
 The call to arms in France brought forth not only the men enrolled in the Nations defense but has led to the front many of the most noted men of the country, men who have won their fame in fields far foreign to things warlike. Many merchants whom age renders unfit for service in the army have gone out to do their share in the harvest fields. The chief gunner of one of the batteries of artillery is Marcel Provost, the we'll known mem. Der of the French Academy, poet, novelist, duelist, and "idol of the French public" Pierre Lott, play. wright and novelist of no little fame, has joined the fleet, in which he holds the rang of captain.

BROTHER AMOS AND
 COLONEL DISAGREE


 NEW YORK, Aug. 19.-Amos Pin chot, brother of Clifford, kicked over the traces over the endorsement of Harvey D. Hinman, the aspirant for the Republican nomination for Gov ernor whom Col. Theodore Roosevelt wants the Progressives to endorse.
 Pinchot says:
 "Hinman cannot expect Progressives to indorse a man for the Governor shin simply because he is against somebody. am not nearly as much interested in learning that MT. Hin man is against William Barnes as would be in learning what he is will ing to pledge himself to fight for.
 q think it is derogatory to the Pro gressive party for it to accept man chiefly because he Is hostile to an other man."
 Colonel Wants to Win.
 Roosevelt replying said:
 q want to smite the enemy! want to use the sword of the Lord and Gideon! I want to be effective! I want to strike blow that the enemy will feel! We don't want to save oul souls by passing nice little resolu lions and do something that will leave us performing in yacuo. while the bosses praise us for being con sistent."
 The committee stood with Roose welt and Amos was turned down as he was when he asked to have George w. Perkins kicked out

GREAT NORTHERN TO
 SELL MINNESOTA

Withdrawal from the Oriental trade and either the sale or the charter ol the steamship Minnesota, greatest oi the worlds over ocean cargo carriers to another line Is being considered by officials of the Great Northern Steam ship company.
 It has been common rumor in Seat tie since the European war began that the Minnesota was soon to be disposed of to England and would be operated by new owners within the next few weeks.
 w. P. Kenney, president of the com. pany, who has been in Seattle several days, yesterday refused to either deny or affirm the report that negotiations are now under way by which the Hill interests will dispose of the great craft.
 My visit in Seattle has nothing to do with either the sale or the charter of the Minnesota" said MT. Kenney. Any negotiations of that nature would be carried on by the executive officers of the company at St. Paul"
 Why HllI Interests Want Co Sell.
 The desire of the Hill interests to dispose of the Minnesota is result of plans to devote their entire ener- gies in the operation of the new ex- press liners.

PUTS IN FIFTEEN YEARS

DENVER, April 4.-For fifteen
years N. l.. Swanson, No. 1916 South
Clarkson-st.. has been working on q
cube puzzle and now he has finished
II and Ii woi king on the machinery for
it's manufacture. II comprises 80 bits
Of wood that fit together and each
piece rs locked by one or more pieces.
To put 1t together or take II apart the
various locks must work In harmony
and the pieces must At into each
other.
II believe that have the most intri-
cate puzzle ever invented" said Swan
son, "for to put IL together or to take
IL apart one must know the 80 pieces
as he knows his alphabet: that Is, he
must recognize each piece. Then he
must know how the locks come. how
to press this or that piece so that 1t
will operate upon another.
II believe that I am safe In saying
that there is no man who can take II
apart and put II together within "a
hours, and very few can work 1t. II
tx a puzzle that will puzzle any en-
thusiast."
Swanson says that when he has fin
ished his machinery the puzzles can
be turned out in quantities. He pur-
poses to make the puzzle in Denver
ana to market 1t all over the world.

and the six or seven more stand

O'Dell was arrested and charged be-
fore Judge Bender. in Hamtramck,

said. There is nothing In the law

o. labor that brings nothing but
trouble and lawsuits. My Office has
enough trouble now without going
out of Its way to accept the respon-
abilities of the constables."
