Orders have been issued for an im
mediate start on Pennsylvania's State
building at the Panama-Pacific Expo
sition at San Francisco for which a
contract was let to Neil McLean, of
' the Golden Gate city, this week for
'about $39,000. The building, which
was designed by Henry Hornbostle, a
prominent Pittsburgh architect, is uni
que in such buildings and specially
adapted to the climate. The fact that
it will cost less than $40,000 will per
mit the expenditure of about $35,000
on embellishment and surroundings.

I rother left here about four years a l ,u
to work in Richmond. About two!
years ago, according to Mrs. Benjamin !
Bretz, Jr., he visited Steelton in com-i
pany with a beautiful Richmond girl, |
to whom he told friends he was en-1
gaged. Mrs. Bretz says she heard re- j
gently that John had lost his position,
i According to a special dispatch from
Richmond, Va., John N. Bretz at-1

1 omeroy, State superintendent of pub-
J lie printing and binding, because of I
Koto destruction of over half of the
laid edition in ihe lire which de
: ® press, which i
: had unfinished contracts for State
, work. The edition for 1913 was to
have been 34.000 but delays in the;
| printing house caused its publication '
ito be held back until February and'
only about 16,000 copies were sent'
| out, the balance being in the binderv ,
which was destroyed.
About three-fourths of the 1914 1
edition has been printed by W. S. !
Ray. the present contractor for the
State printing, and it is believed that!
it will be more advantageous to hurrv ■
up the remainder of the copy and
concentrate efforts to get out thi> 191 I I
edition than to reproduce the de-1
stroyed portion of last year's issue.
Only ten copies of the pamphlet I
laws of 1913 were destroyed in the '

livered to the State authorities for i
distribution. The copy for the stat- 11
"tea at large, which was furnished to
the Aughlnbaugh press last Sprinp be- 1
fore the contract expired, was not set !
up and will be handled immediately '
together with such other State work j 1
as is required.
Many Cycles.—Motorcycles are he- I
ing licensed by the State Hlghwav i
Department's automobile division at 11
thj rate of from ton to fifteen per day. I
Thus far 6,488 ,have been granted li-!
censes, yielding the State $19,400
against a total of $14,628 received dur
ing the whole of 1913 for licensing
7,314 motorcycles. The increase is'
due to the higher rate made by the!
act of 1913 for such vehicles. It is
believed that over 9,000 will be li- !
censed this year.
