s VOLUME 11 NUMBER 1 CALIFORNIANS ARE Structures of Panama-Pacific Exposi- tion to Be Completed by Sum- mer of 1914, SET NEW CONSTRUCTION MARK Sewer and Water System, Exhibits and Grounds All To Be Ready For Opening. BOYS' CAMP IS A FEATURE Fifteen Thousand Boys to Live in City Which It Will Take One Million Dollars to Build. By United Press. San Francisco, April 29.—Located on a site of unique natural beauty, the structures of the Panama-Pacific exposition to be held in San Francisco in 1915, are well on their way toward completion today. The view afforded from the fair grounds is unsurpassed. From the Service building; which al- ready is completed, a wonderful pan- orama unfolds itself. Directly in the foreground is the incomparable Gol- den Gate and the blue waters of the Pacific; to the left the eternal hills, topped by the green-capped peaks of Mount Tamalpais; to the right the rolling Berkeley hills with the cities of Berkeley and Richmond lying be- neath. More than 1,000 men today are today working on Machinery Hall, the largest of the exhibit palaces. It will cover an area of approximately nine acres. By July, every one of the fourteen great.buildings will be well under way in construction and 7,000 men will be working on them. This number is exclusive of those who will be employed in the other two sections of the exposition, which will be de- voted to concessions and foreign and state pavilions. New Construction Record. Harris D. H. Connick, director of the works of the exposition, declared today that it is the aim of those in charge of the affair to set a new rec- “At previous American expositions,” said Mr. Connick, “it has been the rule that the exposition has been postpon- ed a year from the original date set for the formal opening, or visitors have found construction and installa- army of This naturally de- ord in exposition construction. tion incomplete workmen busy. tracts from the beauty of what should be a finished exposition. ings here will be fully completed eight months before the opening date and all the exhibits will have been installed. The grounds will have been terraced and planted with shrub- bery and trees when -the formal opening takes place. Grading, lev- elling and excavating and the instal- lation of the sewer and water supply systems already have been completed, and every detail of the expodition will have been perfected at least two months before the opening on Satur- day, February, 20, 1915.” More than 1,600,000 cubic yards of earth have been filled in on the center portion of the site, which occupies 100 acres, and which will be devoted to the fourteen main exhibition pal- aces. Twenty-eight of the world pow- ers have thus early signified their in- tention to participate and many oth- ers are preparing to take part on an elaborate scale. Of the thirty-three states of the Union that have prom- ised ‘to participate, twenty-six have selected the sites for their pavilions. New York has made a preliminary appropriation of with an will spend $1,000,000 on her state building. Other appropriations from different states which have selected their sites vary from $250,000 to half a million dollars. Two Reasons for Exposition. The exposition officials say there are two great reasons why California is making great effort to “break all The first records of all expositions.” is that California and San Francisco especially realizes the Titanic achievement which the occasion is to celebrate, and they wish to make the celebration in keeping with the build- ing of the Panama canal. The sec- ond great reason why Californians are so anxious to show the nation and the world what Californians can accomplish, say the officials, is the All build- $700,000 for the New York state building. -California KEKK KK AR KKK KKK KKK x ACTRESS FAMOUS * .

OOOS A FLY CATECHISM, Where is the fly born? In ma- nure and other filth. Where does the fly live? In all kinds of filth. He carries filth on his feet and wings. - Where does the fly go when he leaves the manure piles and the spittoon? He goes into the kitchen, the dining room and the store. What does the fly do there? He walks on the bread and vegetables, bathes in the milk and wipes His feet in the butter. What diseases does the fly carry? Typhoid fever, diarrheal diseases, diphtheria, scarlet fever and any communicable disease. How can the fly be prevented? By destroying all the filth about your premises. Scroen the privy vault, cover the manure bin, burn all waste matter, destroy your garbage, screen your house. Either man must kill the fly or the fly will kill man.

Mr. Rood had been checking in his cash for the day and being tired, went into John Bye’s for a quick lunch. He left the money lying on the desk in the back of the store but states that the store lights were out and the front down. ‘When Mr. Rood returned he found a back window broken and all of the money except a $10 bill and some loose change was gone. Mr. Rood be- leives that the thief watched him through a back window of the store and when he went out, the thief made his get away. The police were notified at-once and out bound trains were watched but at press time today the robber had not been caught. ELLIOTT HERE TODAY Howard Elliott, president of the Northern Pacific and Minnesota ana International railroads arrived in Be- midji this noon on a special train. He was accompanied by W. H. Gemmel, general manager of the Minnesota and International railroad and other officials. The trip is being made in the form of a general inspection tour of the road. VALUABLE DOGS ARE POISONED sfryt;hnine Covered Meat Found By Animals Along Lake Shore. After five dogs were found dead and several more reported dying, a search was made in the vicinity of Doud and Dewey avenue to find the cause, with the result that a large quantity of meat was found which was covered with strychnine. As far as can be learned at present there are about twelve dogs Which have died from the effects of the péison but precautions have been tak- en by dog awners to prevent any more from dying in the same manner. Among the most valuable dogs lost were those owned by W. A. Currie, J. O. Harris and Jas Mooney. Mr. Cur- rie lost two dogs which he valued at a large amount, one of which was a small puppy and which was kept in- side of an inclosed fence but the meat had been thrown in to him. Mr. Har- ris lost a Russian terrier which he claims could not have been purchased for $500. Jas. Mooney lost a valuable shepherd dog which he valued at $200. Many more dogs have been report- ed dead but they were not considered 'as valuable as the dogs named. Those who have lost dogs appear to be anx- ious to have the guilty party, who- ever it might be arrested and to war- rant a diligent search will offer re- wards which will be paid for inform- ation that will lead to arrests. Chief Lane has been notified and has promised to help find the culprit. Little trouble is expected to be exper- ienced in tracing the party as the poison was probably purchased at a local drug store.

MATTER IS IN DYER'S HANDS Prof. Samuel Quigley, head of the extension. division of-the University, has written asking if Bemidji wishes \’ 4 ot the university “Weeks’” this year. He says that-the univer- sity is offering a larger and better program than last year and that the demand for dates is so strong that Bemidji cannot be placed on the list The matter has been turned over to Pro- fessor Dyer. University week last year was some something of an experiment both as far. as Bemidji is concerned and also the university. The exten- unless he is advised at once. ision division saysithat it has profited by its experiences and is planning to give instruction and entertainment this year on a much larger scale than before. Several university or- ganizations have decided to make the tours so that the entertainment fea- ture of the week has been increased. Professor Dyer is taking the mat- ter up today and is looking for ex- pressions of opinion as to whether or not the University should be asked to come here again. In a recent letter, Professor Quigley stated that if Be- midjl asked for the week he was sure it would please President Vincent and this has been taken to mean that the president was hardly satsified with the results here last week. Professor Quigley telegraphed this morning that if Bemidji wishes to have the week this year, he must be notified at once. IS KALBERG SELLING OUT? Bagley, April 29.—F. 8.

By hHoPu : DELAY URGED BY - SECRETARY ‘BRYAN Advises Progressive Republieans in California to Wait For the Gov- ernment to Act TO TRY FOR A NEW TREATY Believes One Can Be Made With Ja- pan Which Will Accomplish the Desired Ends. AFFIRMS STATE'S RIGHT IDEA Legislature’s Power is Admitted But Consequences to Nation Are Pointed Out. Sacramento . April 29.—Monday’s conference between Secretary Bryan and Governor Johnson and members of the legislature over the anti-alien land laws was adjourned to await the replies to messages sent to Washing- ton last night by Bryan. The im- pression prevailed when the confer- ence adjourned that the resolve of the majority leaders, previously an- "nouneed, to enact a bill specifically stating “aliens ineligible to citizen- ship would be prohibited from own- ing land in California, would remain unchanged. Sacramento, Cal,, April 29.—Cali- fornia, in the fullness of her right as a state, may enact a rigid land law barring Orientals from land owner- ship, but such an action would be against the earnest wish of the na- tional administration. This is the substance of a message Willlam Jennings Bryan, secretary of state, personal representative of Pres- ident Wilson, delivered to a secret conference, attended only by Govern- or Johnson, Lieutenant Governor Wallace and 120 legislators. Bryan arrived here at six Monday morning. Plans were made for an immediate hearing and shortly after eleven o’clock the first session of the conference began, Advice in the president’s name was all that Bryan offéred, and the para- mount question is whether such ad- vice will overcome the previously an- nounced determination of the pro- gressive Republican majority to enact an anti-alien land law along the lines already agreed upon. Bryan reafirmed the state’s right to act in any manner it saw fit, but suggested several alternatives to the passage of the bill restricting aliens “ineligible to citizenship,” basing the reasons on the broad foundation of publie policy. Briefly, the alternatives in order suggested, follow: 1. Delay immediaté action and al- low the state department to try to accomplish the ends desired by means of a new treaty with Japan; two, de- lay action and appoint a comimission to investigate the subject of alien land ownership and act in conjunc- tion with the president in securing relief; three, enact laws similar to the statute in Illinois, which permits an alien to hold land for a period not exceeding six years, and applies alike to all aliens; four, enact laws similar to the federal statute governing land ownership in the District of Colum- bia, which is a general law applying to all aliens. Of these, according to the leaders of the legislature, the last two are out of the question. The conference with Bryan served to show the breadth of the sentiment in favor of an alien land law that will be effective in checking the Japanese and Chinese immigration. 9 KRKIRH KKK KK KKK x N.M.D. A VISITORS: = * KKK XXX KRR RIK KK The following Northern Minnesota residents called at the Minneapolis Immigration rooms of the Northern ‘Minnesota Development association: A.
