 Palisade, Nevada, June 24.-Travel- ing now through country far less at tractive than any yet visited the Ark ansas Pacific Exposition Commissions scouting party is now devoting itself to the plans for the San Francisco visit, and preparing for the wonderful scenery promised to- morrow.
 There have been no stops today, and none are scheduled, though the Cover nor of Nevada is expected to make a short trip to the train before it passes into California late this afternoon. At 2 o'clock the party arrives at Patola, just across the California border, and remains there over night, leaving at ITO for a daylight trip through the beautiful Yosemite Valley, and on through the San Jeaoquin river can yon to San Francisco, arriving in time for Golden Gate supper.
 At the end of every railroad division private car is attached to the train and new railroad officials join the party. It is indeed strange to see the interest manifested by these officials in seeing Arkansas well represented at the Exposition, for practically all of them have at some time been located in the Middle West, and they know their Arkansas as well, or bet ter, than they do their new locations. Every one of them has some new sug- gestion, which makes the late coming of Arkansas benefit, rather than a detriment to the state The mistakes of other states have already been un- folded, and there is nothing to hand icap Arkansas in starting it's build ing with a rush and getting it com pleted by the time the other states are ready to open the doors of their buildings.
 At the suggestion of the Governor of Utah, and assurances given by a number of the railroad men, Gov Hays plans to go immediately to the Exposition grounds, after his arri- val in California, and take look at little knoll which stands upon the street of states and which if taken, will permit the Arkansas building to tower over those of other states. Be- cause of the peculiar construction of their buildings, this site was ignored by a number of the states, and then others followed in order to get in close company with the state first sell ecting locations. Thus Arkansas comes along and gets the pick of the sites, from the standpoint of location.
 After he has satisfied himself that the site is the right one, Gov. Hays San Francisco, to become the guest of Gov Hiram Johnston, and later to of ficially visit the exposition grounds and accept the site in behalf of the people of Arkansas.
 The Arkansas party, headed by Gov. Hays, Commissioner General F. B. T. Hollenberg, J. w. Dean, General Sup erintendent of the Iron Mountain, F. E. Schroeder, Assistant General Pas senger Agent; George Russ Brown of the Little Rock Board of Trade, Virgil A. Beeson, president of the Arkansas Press Association; and George H. Grayson, the lumberman, hold daily conferences, arranging plans for the big campaign for funds to build and maintain the Arkansas building, upon their return. They have worked out some plans which they think will not only give Arkansas the best building but give it the best display at the ex- position-Californi no exception.
