JAMES GOODIN IS DEAD
Contractor Who Built Old Exposition
 Building Was 80 Years Old

James Goodin, a contractor and real estate dealer. so years old, died Hate one night last week at his home, 544 Oakland avenue, Kansas City, Mo. In the years 1886. 1887 and 1885, MT. Goodin bought land to the value of one million dollars much of which he sold again.
 The old Exposition building, mod cled alter the Crystal Palace of Lon don. was MT. Goodin's conception. A company known as the Interstate Fair association had equipped expo sition grounds in Westport, and the exhibitions for which Kansas City was then famous had been held there
 from 1883 to 1886. The land soon
 became too valuable for exposition
 purposes, and then the fair grounds were established between Twelfth and
 Fifteenth streets at Kansas avenue.
 The Exposition building was prof ected by MT. Goodin as an individual project. He spent $65,0OO on the plan, and then, after veXatious de- lays decided to suspend operations until the following season, but a number of citizens under the leader ship of T. A. Harris, feeling that the interests of the city demanded the immediate completion of the building, formed a corporation and carried the work through, $20O00O being sub scribed for the purpose.
 The Exposition building for several years was one of the chief attrac tions of Kansas City. It was opened on October 6. 1887. President and Mrs. Grover Cleveland attended the fair and a crowd of fifty thousand passed in review before them. The l exposition hall stood until August ,, l 1901, when it was destroyed by fire. 1
 Mir Goodin is survived by his wife 1 Burial was made in Cincinnati.

A MAGIC HORSESHOE

One never knows what he may find inside q tree. At saWmill near Vancouver the other day they found was deeply imbedded and stripped off the teeth of the saw that was devouring the log. Some boy had nailed the horseshoe to the tree years and years ago and the wood had slowly inclosed and hidden it.
 Where is the boy now? Would he be willing and able. to pay for the saw that his youthful pastime ruined |? What did he nail the horseshoe to the tree for? Was it to make his luck perpetual? It is well known that a horseshoe lying in the road will bring bad luck if you pass il by un- touched. but if you pick it up and nail il to the barn door or to a tree. goodness and mercy will follow you all the days of your life, or at least until the talisman is displaced
 The chances are that the boy who nailed the horseshoe to that fir tree near VancouverC is a million aire now. but in our minds eye we see his fortune slipping away since the cause of it has been torn from it's secret bed. The loss of a big saw is not the worst consequence of disturbing the magic horseshoe. There is also. very likely. the family of a Wall Street magnate reduced to penurV-POrtlau1 OregOnian
