Hot Springs to Be Given Chief Place Of Interest in Pictures That Will Be Shown in Arkansas Building.

Open recognition of Hot Springs as the chief attraction of Arkansas Is made by the Arkansas Panama Expo- sition Commission, in it's selection as the starting point for the greater Arkansas publicity campaign.
 Albert Richards of Brooklyn, N. Y, field representative of the pathe- Freres company, the leading manu- facturers of motion picture films in the world, arrived in Hot Springs last night to begin making pictures of Hot Springs scenes which will be shown in San Francisco during the nine months and a half of the great worlds fair.
 On Monday morning MT. Richards will solicit the assistance of the Hot Springs business men in putting for. ward the best in the city.
 MT, Richards was selected from all the artists making moving pictures for the Pathe concern due to a little personal interest of one of the de partment managers in Arkansas native state. With the desire to see his state shine as it should, and to have the best pictures of them all, this manager was able to recall Mir. Richards from the work he was doing in Europe, and within three weeks from the time negotiations were commenced, he landed in Little Rock to sign the contract for the production of the Arkansas pictures. Mir. Richards brings with him all the latest improvements for the making of moving pictures, and some of them will be used by him the first time in Hot Springs.
 Realizing that Arkansas, being largely a fruit and mineral state, has the greatest opportunity ever offered to show its prowess at the San Fran cisco exposition, where Arkansas eX- hibits will be lined up against those of the Golden state, Governor c. w. Hays decided that Arkansas should be represented there. There being no legislative appropriation for this purpose, it was a problem in finance that he must solve if a building was to be erected, exhibits gathered, and maintained for practically year.
 Governor Hays learned that some choice sites for state buildings re- mained, and that a selection could be made which would not obligate the state to erect a building if it was later found impossible to do so tie therefore set about devising ways and means for the erection of the building and it's maintenance.
 The first step was with the Arkan- sas State Press Association, which pledged $100,00d worth of publicity toward the enterprise. He called mass meeting which was largely at tended by prminent citizens from different parts of the state. At this meeting Russell Gardner, the wealthy buggy manufacturer of st. Louis, and who owns thousands of acres Of Ar kansas land, agreed to give $lO,OO0 if the citizens would raise an additional S50.GaG. Right then Governor Hays decided to go after that s5oooo
 After loodna the ground over care fully. tho contract with the Patha concern was entered into, and in this manner the state expects to raise saO 900. which will provide funds for the erection of the Arkansas build. ing Tine campaign will be continued in every county of the state. contri- buttons being solicited in auythins from $1 to $l,000.000, and in this manner the additional $20.000 is eX- pected to be forthcoming.
 The motion pictures will be made of all sections of the state, and a charge of $5 per foot is made by the exposition commission. This can be paid by individuals or organizations. In Hot Springs it is expected that a concerted movement will be made to show the places of interest, such as the golf links at the Country Club, the main thoroughfares of the city,
