WILL DEDICATE BUILDING AT FAIR LADIÉS HAVE CHARGE OF OPENING OF HOST STRUCTURE AT PANAMA EXPOSITION BRILLIANT CEREMONY IN GREAT EDIFICE IN WHICH LADIES WILL WELCOME WORLD The dedication of the California building at the Panama Pacific International Exposition which is to contain the displays of the California counties and is also to be the social headquarters and host building of the exposition during 1915, will take place November 21. The ceremonies will be under the auspices of the Woman's Board of the Exposition and is to be made the occasion for a great gathering—the most representative that has ever been assembled—of the California women who will play the part of hostesses of the exposition. It is also the first function of the Woman's Board and its county auxiliaries in that capacity. Invitations have been sent to the c.airman and vice-chairman of the auxiliaries in every county of the state to assist at the reception and dance to be held in the California building in conjunction with the dedication ceremonies. Mrs. Hiram Johnson, the wives of all of the state and county exposition officials, the wives of the exposition directors, the members of the Woman's Board and the officers of the county auxiliaries will act as hostesses at the reception. To assure the largest possible attendance at the dedication ceremonies arrangements have been made with the railroads for special excursion rates from all parts of the state war in Europe total 17,720,000 men, U.S. Wars of U.S. Date Troops Revolutionary war.1775-1783 309,781 War with France .1798-1800 4,593 War with Tripoll .1801-1805 3,300 War of 1812 ...1812-1815 576,622 First Cree war ...1813-1814 13,781 Seminole war ...1817-1818 7,911 Black Hawk war ...1831-1832 6,465 Florida Indian war 1835-1843 41,122 Second Cree war ...1836-1837 14,000 Cherokee trouble ...1836-1837 9,494 Avovstock trouble ...1836-1839 1,500 Mexican war ...1840-1848 112,230 Apache-Navajo war 1856-1858 2,500 Second Seminole ...1856-1858 3,687 Civil war ...1861-1865 2,722,408 Spanish-American 1898 247,717 Filipino Insurrection 1899-1900 60,000 Total ...4,187,111 ASKS ROAD BUILDING BE POSTPONED San Diego Exposition Officials Request Hold-up on Short Section The Board of Supervisors have received a letter from G. A.-Davidson, president of the San Diego Exposition committee, in which Davidson says that the committee would prefer that the state does not attempt to pave the portion of the state highway between San Juan Capistrano and the North San Diego county line until after the exposition closes. The letter refers to the fact that the state is at work paving the road between Santa Ana and San Juan Capistrano, and states that the road below the mission town and to the San Diego line is in bad shape. The request of the San Diego exposition officials is of a good deal of interest in this county, where every effort has been used to hasten the building of the state road through to the San Diego line. When he was here a month ago, Highway Commissioner Darlington stated that the state would soon let a contract for paving about four miles of road north of the San Diego county line. If that is done the remainder might be left until after the exposition, though its upkeep would be costly, even if it were put into first-class condition. The state has been held back from going ahead with this troublesome strip on account of the fact that it SLUMP OF PEACE With the news of some reports of this of the progressives generally in third place as to be political nonentity, able is the fact that ent eastern progress dates, their defeatwing. Thus in Ohio they speedily disclosed to R.

And by way of "bull moosers" the men whom they cordially hate. B Pennsylvania, they New Hampshire and old "Uncle Joe" llam G. McKinley house—three men particularly detest. Whitman, the man denounced and so elected governor by public majority. It would be gratious that here in C auxiliaries in every county of the state to assist at the reception and dance to be held in the California building in conjunction with the dedication ceremonies. Mrs. Hiram Johnson, the wives of all of the state and county exposition officials, the wives of the exposition directors, the members of the Woman's Board and the officers of the county auxiliaries will act as hostesses at the reception. To assure the largest possible attendance at the dedication ceremony arrangements have been made with the railroads for special excursion rates from all parts of the state. An elaborate program of special features to celebrate the dedication and to provide entertainment for the visitors is in preparation. Among the entertainment features at present announced will be a performance by Vestoff, the famous dancer. In addition to the general reception and dance the various county auxiliaries will hold receptions in the sections of the building that will contain the displays of their respective counties. Preceding the general reception and dance which takes place from four to seven in the afternoon, the Woman's Board, at two o'clock, will meet the visiting county officers in the California building. Tickets for the dedication exercises, the reception and dance will be sold for $1.50 and will include admission to the grounds at any time during the day so as to give the visiting members an opportunity to inspect the exposition and observe the progress that has been made in giving the final touches to the 1915 celebration. Members of the board and all the hostesses will purchase tickets so as to assure the largest proceeds from the affair. The receipts are to be devoted exclusively to the furnishing of the social division of the California Building, a task that has been left entirely in the hands of the Womans Board by the directors of the exposition. The plans for the interior decorations of the building will render it one of the most palatial of structures within as it is now without. Also the policy of employing California talent for this purpose will be pursued as it was in the planning of the building itself, the design being that of Thomas Burditt, a young California architect. The completion of the building and the interior decoration together with the display of California products that it will contain will represent an expenditure of more than two million dollars, the whole purpose of the structure and everything it contains being to give an exhibit of the best that California possesses. It is the second largest building on the exposition grounds, being exceeded in size only by the huge Palace of Machinery, and is built in a most distinctive style of architecture; a rennaissance of the old mission adapted to present day needs without any detraction from the beauty of the original architecture of one padres. In the great court, or patio of the building are forty year old hedges that rest in this country, where every effort has been used to hasten the building of the state road through to the San Diego line. When he was here a month ago, Highway Commissioner Darlington stated that the state would soon let a contract for paving about four miles of road north of the San Diego county line. If that is done the remainder might be left until after the exposition, though its upkeep would be costly, even if it were put into first-class condition. The state has been held back from going ahead with this troublesome strip on account of the fact that it has not yet received a right of way from the Santa Fe. Commissioner Darlington in his statements here was not of opinion that the work on the state road would seriously handicap travel, and in that respect the exposition managers may be overly fearful. Their desire to put off further construction plans is that a good travelable road even though partly a dirt road, may be open all of 1915 from Los Angeles to San Diego through this county. The commissioner said that the state and county jointly will maintain excellent by-passes where work is being done, and that construction work will be hastened as rapidly as consistent with good construction will permit. The worst piece of road between San Juan Capistrano and the San Diego line is that immediately north of the line, and it is thought here that that section ought to be built as quickly as possible, even though it should be thought best to postpone work on the remainder of the road between the mission and the line. A by-pass could be provided that could hardly be any worse than the present road. THE DUNBAR COMPANY. The Dunbar Company has been upon the Lyceum platform for thirteen years and has toured many times across America. In all they have traveled more than 800,000 miles, equal to twelve times around the world. They have given more than 2,000 concerts. There is scarcely a large course in United States that has not had this company at one time or another. Seventy-five per cent of their dates are return dates. The Dunbar Company's vocal quartet work represents but one portion of this STATE TO RESERVE In a battle for these farms and orchards San Juan Ridge County have placed their case against them and Power company State railroad they begged and water to save their pany allowed a la cape from leaky reservoirs supplied with all water to sell even when farmers; a condition Commissioner Aless gineer R.

It is the second largest building on the exposition grounds, being exceeded in size only by the huge Palace of Machinery, and is built in a most distinctive style of architecture; a renaissance of the old mission adapted to present day needs without any detraction from the beauty of the original architecture of one padres. In the great court, or patio of the building are forty year old hedges that serve admirably to enhance the effect of age that is characteristic of the entire structure. The building is located at the western end of the exposition Esplanade overlooking the bay in a position that displays its great proportions and picturesque decorations to advantage. In addition to the counties display division which occupies the western wing and the major portion of the structure, the California building will contain the offices of the president of the exposition, the headquarters of the Woman's Board, quarters for the county auxiliaries and for the women's clubs of the state. There are to be several separate banquet halls and ball rooms, a roof garden, and every facility for the entertainment of those which are to be guests of California and the exposition next year. The reception and dance that will attend the dedication cermonies on November 21 will take place in the counties division which is being especially prepared for the occasion.

COMPARISON OF ARMIES If all the American soldiers who have fought in every war of the United States, including the Revolution, were recruited into one great fighting force today, they would total only 4,147,111 men. Some idea of the magnitude of the great world war now in progress may be had when American fighting forces in past wars are compared with the vast horde Germany alone has hurled into the present conflict, namely, 5,200,000 men.

In this work they use the piano, flute and cello, and the music which they render is entirely new. In fact, for the most part it is in manuscript form, prepared especially for them. Carrying 200 bells, the Dunbars give a demonstration of bell ringing like of which has never before been heard here. They carry a duplicate set of bells for their practice work. They have perfected several improvements in bell construction. BIG WALNUT TREE The prize of $100 offered by the American Genetic association for a photograph of the largest nut-bearing tree in the United States, is to come to Sutter county, for in the center of Yuba City is to be found what has been characterized by experts who have visited here from all parts of the world, as the largest nut tree in existence. A photograph of the tree is to be taken this week and forwarded to Washington, D.C. by H.P. Stabler, county horticultural commissioner. The tree is in the ward of Mrs. G.B. Lyman and is said to be 100 years old. It measures 100 feet in height, is sixteen and a half feet in circumference and has a spread of 128 feet. It produces a big crop of black walnuts every year. Visitors from all parts of the country have marveled at it. ANAHEIM GAZETTE SLUMP OF PROGRESSIVES With the news of republican gains come reports of the complete slump of the progressives. The latter were generally in third place and so far in the rear as to be little more than a political nonentity. Especially notable is the fact that whenever prominent eastern progressives were candidates, their defeat was the more crushing. Thus in Ohio the count of the votes speedily disclosed the fact that James R. Garfield, a Roosevelt lieutenant, running for governor, never had a chance. In Pennsylvania, too, the colonel's dear friend Gifford, Pinchot made only a feeble showing against Boles Penrose, the man of men whom progressives hate, and who as a result of the election goes back to the United States senate for another term. Then there is Beveridge of Indiana, an Armageddon veteran especially dear to the Rooseveltian heart. Beveridge wanted to go to the senate. He ran far behind both the republican and democratic candidates, between whom the race is very close. From other eastern states comes like news, the progressive vote showing a decline from 50 to 75 per cent and the progressive candidates being snowed under. And by way of "rubbing it" into the bull moosers the republicans elected the men whom the progressives most cordially hate. Besides Penrose of Pennsylvania, they send Gallinger of New Hampshire back to the senate, and old "Uncle Joe" Cannon and William G. McKinley of Illinois to the house—three men whom bull moosers particularly detest. In New York, too, Whitman, the man whom Roosevelt denounced and sought to defeat, is elected governor by a tremendous republican majority. It would be gratifying to be able to say that here in California the rebuil STATE TO RESCUE FARMERS In a battle for the existence of their farms and orchards, the farmers of the San Juan Ridge district in Nevada County have placed their appeal and their case against the Northern Water and Power company in the hands of the state railroad commission. While they begged and offered to pay for water to save their crops, the company allowed a large stream to escape from leaky flumes, tunnels and resevoirs, supplied mining companies with all the water needed and refused to sell even the waste waters to the farmers; a condition described by Commissioner Alex Gordon and Engineer R. W. Hawley for the commission, as the worst they had ever encountered exists in the mountain county. A public service corporation satisfied with supplying mines, has allowed its water system to go to wreck, allowed farms to be ruined and has made no attempt to do its duty as a public service corporation. In San Juan Ridge and French Corral sections fruit trees have been scorched lifeless, fields have been baked by the sun and gardens have ceased to produce because the water which the company should have furnished the districts has been allowed to run to waste into the canyon. Testimony at the hearing held by the railroad commission brought out the fact that in a five-mile stretch of flume 71 per cent of the water was al- cordially hate. Besides Penrose of Pennsylvania, they send Gallinger of New Hampshire back to the senate, and old "Uncle Joe" Cannon and William G. McKinley of Illinois to the house—three men whom bull moosers particularly detest. In New York, too, Whitman, the man whom Roosevelt denounced and sought to defeat, is elected governor by a tremendous republican majority. It would be gratifying to be able to say that here in California the republicans have done as well as their brethren in other states. The returns do not warrant that assertion. While the rest of the country has been administering a crushing defeat to the bull moose party, this state elected a progressive governor. However, there is never an election in which the unexpected does not happen. Loyal republicans, however, will regret that California permitted it to occur.

In San Juan Ridge and French Corral sections fruit trees have been scorched lifeless, fields have been baked by the sun and gardens have ceased to produce because the water which the company should have furnished the districts has been allowed to run to waste into the canyon. Testimony at the hearing held by the railroad commission brought out the fact that in a five mile stretch of flume 71 per cent of the water was allowed to go to waste through leaky, rotten woodwork, defective gates and insecure tunnels. Commissioner Gordon halted the proceedings before half the testimony prepared by the farmers had been presented, saying he had heard enough. He gave the farmers thirty days in which to file with the commission the total acreage they would irrigate if water in sufficient quantities were furnished. It is probable that the commission upon receiving the reports from the complainants and the company, will issue an order compelling the water concern to furnish water for irrigation and will at the same time fix the rates to be charged. The members of the East Side Thimble club, were delightfully entertained on Wednesday afternoon at the pretty home of Mrs. T. H. Hopkins. The parlors were charmingly decorated with roses and ferns. Meadames Allen, Langdon, Macleib, Ceasor, and O'Donnell were welcome guests at this meeting. The afternoon was pleasantly spent with different kinds of needle-work, which the ladies are now preparing for their holiday gifts. At the close of the merry afternoon delicious refreshments were served by the hostess. The next regular meeting will be held Dec. 2, in Santa Ana at the home of Mrs. G. Bruns.

The finishing touch is being applied to the Valencia season by Orange county packers, and the "million-dollar" district will soon lay back to wait for the navels. Within the next day of two the last of the Valencias will have been shipped by the Tustin packing house, the last of the Orange county exchanges to finish. The Villa Park Orchards Company and the Hewes Packing company closed their houses about a week ago. The Santiago and the McPherson Heights association cleaned up Saturday. About six cars of fruit remain to be shipped by the Tustin house. Practically all of the independent houses are through. The navel crop is scarcely developed sufficiently for its possibilities to be full determined. According to Manager C. W. Post of the McPherson Heights Citrus Association, there may be little or no holiday fruit shipped from this district, on account of a tacit agreement between the California Fruit Exchange and the government representatives that no fruit shall be shipped until it has matured sufficiently to meet the requirements outlined in a scientific analysis given by pure food experts.
