PANAMA PACIFIC
EXPOSITION NEWS
(Continued from yesterday.))
_
Yet, despite all these untoward
events, the Panama-Pacific Interna
tional Exposition is all that its builders
planned. Even the colossal struggle
' in Europe has interfered hut little with
the plans of the European nations so
far as the exposition is concerned. All
being friendly toward the United
States, they have all almost without
exception, paused long enough in the
heat of battle and the grim struggles
in the trenches to carry out their pro
mise in regard to the California fair.
Most of them have erected handsome
and imposing buildings.
The Panama-Pacific International
Exposition has the distinction of being
the only world’s exposition of conse
quence that was ready on time and
that opened its gates to the public on
the date set for the formal opening.
When, on February 20. 1915. Presi
dsnt Wilson, in the White House at
Washington, pressed the little black
button that set loose the electrical cur
rents that, hurrying across the contin
ent, set in motion the machinery in the
huge palaces of transportation and
machinery, the exposition wus com
plete and ready. Only nine years from
the time of the greatest disaster that
ever befell a modern city, San Fran
cisco not only had been rebuilt but had
in commemoration of her reconstruc
tion and of the completion of the Pa
nama Canal erected a city of palaces
that has no equal in the world, and
never did have.
San Francisco is located on the
western edge of the continent. Between
her and the more populous centers of
the United States intervene thousands
of miles of hill and plain, mountain and
desert. Except for her own state and
the states of Washington and Oregon
to the north, there is no populous com
monwealth near her. She has no great
back country upon which to draw, as
other exposition cities have had.
In addition to that. the Panama-Pa
cific International Exposition was
opened on February 20. several months
earlier In the year than the opening
date of any previous exposition. Judg
ing from past experience, therefore,
a relatively small attendance might
have been looked for during the early
months, at least.
But California had confidence in her
climate. February in that state is as
mild as May in the East. And the
world knows California.
The confidence of California, and of
San Francisco, was justified. From
the very beginning the people came.
At the end of the first thirty days the
automatic stile registers showed that
more than two million people had vis
ited the exposition. No other exposi
sion has reached this mark within five
weeks after it opened. And tlie at
tendance at the Panama-Pacific In
ternational Exposition is regular.
There are no "off days” when the at
tendance drops far down. Only once
or twice has the number registered by
the counting machines fallen below
10.000 in a day. On the opening day
245.000 were present—and this not
withstanding the faet that the weather
was threatening.
From now on the exposition is as
sured of good weather seven days in
the week. For in California, where
there is no cold weather, except in the
high Sierras, the rain comes all at
once, during the winter months. They
ceased almost simultaneously with the
opening of the exposition, and will l
hardly begin again before it closes on
December 4th. How many millions
Will visit the exposition before that
time is problematical, but the estimate
Is raising daily with the constantly
increasing attendance.
No former exposition ever had the
glorious setting that the Panama-Pa
cific International Exposition has.
Only two years ago there was the low
lying northern beach of the city a
swampy tract of ground, much of It
inundated hy the daily tides, a part of
it occupied by noi.descript buildings.
Except for the view from it,, there
was nothing of the beautiful about It.
But the dredgers and drainers and
fillers did their work. Today there
arises on this tract of ground a city
the like of which has never been seen
before. As a glittering renterpleoe,
there pierces the sky the magnificent
Tower of Jewels—a great diamond!I
about which are set the other precious
stones of the exposition. Immense
exhibit palaces are so arranged ns to
make the most of the topograhhy.
State pavilions and the buildings of
foreign nations group themselves artis
tically at the western end of the ex
position grounds. At the eastern is
the "Zone," constructed for lighter
amusement, and the most successful
of Its kind, as well as the biggest of
| any exposition.
I To the South San Francisco sits,
jtiueen of the West, upon her hills and
| looks down with pride upon her handi
work, for it is good.
To the North sparkle the waters of
the bay of San Francisco, flowing
swiftly In and out of the Goltjen Gate
and bearing on their bosom the myriad
ships that tiring the commerce of the
world and carry to foreign nations the
products of the western states Swift
steamers surge past the exposition,
majestic sailing vessels, frowning men
o'-war.
And beyond rise the alluring hills of
Marin county, now green and flower
spangled. later to become brown and
still more alluring under the rays of
the California summer sun. Still fur
ther on rises Mount Tamalpals, serene,
beautiful, majestic, looking down in
lordly pride upon San Frnncisco re
built and the great exposition that
trumpets to the world that San Fran
cisco, unscathed by fire, unterrified by
disaster, stands today confident of the
future and glorious in her present as
in her past.
