Louisville. J. A. Oliver was in
Mt. Vernon Tuesday. We see
in the columns of the Signal a
letter from Mr. W. J. Sparks
and we note that he asked that a
pike be buili from Mt. Vernon to
Pine Hill. This is all right but
he stoped five miles too soon and
we had a talk with Judge Lewis
and he said it was certain that a
pike would be Built to Pine Hill
in the near future and eventually
to Livingston. We are not so
much interested in the pike as
we are in a bridge. Give us a
bridge across the river and we
will not name the pike. So you
will find us camping on your
trail until this is done. Miss
Nettie Rice has returned- from
Stanford.

Thomas Mullins and Miss Julia
Durham went to Jellico Friday

The Panama-Pacific International ex
position was first proposed by Mr. It.
D. Ilale, a merchant of Sap Francisco,
:n 1901. Mr. Hale wrote a letter to the
.Merchants' association, and the Idea
took Hko wildfire. At that time it was
anticipated that the canal would bo
opened in 1913, and 1913 was the date
set for the exposition. An organiza
tion of the commercial bodies begun
the preliminary work, but in 1000 came
the lire. No one was dismayed. In a

The contributions of China" and Ja
"pan toward the exposition In magnifi
cence and variety will surpass any
thing ever seen outside of the orient
and even in the far east itself. A con-
Yellowstone National park, Great Salt
lake, Puget sound, the inland trip to
Alaska, the government's huge recla
mation projects in sixteen western
states, the Columbia river region, the
redwood forests of California, the flrK
of Oregon, the big trees on the ap
proach to the Yosemlte, Arizona aid
New Mexico, youngest of the states:
Nevada and some of the greatest min
ing campsln the world. Perhaps most
Interesting of.all will be the opportu
nity forMa trip through the Panama
canal either coming or going.
Tho-reconstruction of San Francisco
Is one of the greatest miracles within
the history of American municipalities.
Five hundred nnd eight city block",
embracing the principal business and
residential portions of the city, wero
wiped from the earth in 1900. Tho
streets were covered in some places
with debris forty feet deep, yet today
a stranger to the city would never
know from its appearance that a fire
had occurred. -
The loss through the fire Is estimated
by insurance underwriters at 400,000.
000. To reconstruct San Francisco
poiinfl for greater wealth than was de
stroyed By tire nTe and" Tar exceeded
the cost of building the Panama canal.
Since tho fire $242,000,000 has been ex
pended upon new buildings alone.
Today San Francisco is the newest
city in the world. Its buildings rep
resent the latest type of modern re
enforced concrete structures. It has
more than 1,300 hotels nnd apartment
houses, with accommodations to suit
all persons.
In preparing for the Panama-Pacifle
International exposition hundreds of
Its emissaries are visiting all the re
gions of the world. Fourteen gover
nors of western states on a 4,000 mile
trip through tho east on a special train
recently called attention to the exposi
tion nnd became better acquainted with
their "brothers of the eastern states.

of $5,000,000. This is the largest sum
that has ever beer, raised for a. world's

is only a starter.

the exposition that belong particularly
to woman's domain.
The setting is being prepared. With
impressive exposition structures rising
from San Francisco bay. with city and
wooded slopes as a background and in
the foreground a vast fleet of battle
ships of the world, the sight will be on
of the magnificent spectacles of hi
