a part of the United States that is rich in
its historic associations and exquisite in it's
natural beauty. From the Potomac river
to the sea every mile of the journey is
closely identified with the birth. growth
and struggles of a mighty nation. If the
southbOund trip by steamer is selected the
start is made from Washington. The boat
leaves the wharf at 18th street in the early
evening.
The exposition visitor will find a COM
plete and modern cafe at the auditorium,
1850 Main street, Norfolk, which will be
conducted by Mr.. w. Fl. Bowhart. His
boast is that he has the cleanest kitchen
In the south and he also takes pride in the
fact that his prices are as low as they can
be made consistent with tirst-class service.
"A Street in Tokio.''
"A street in Toxic will be one of the
many charming features of the exposition,
and in the street will be replica of one
Of those delightful tea gardens Of which
every returned traveller has so much TO
say. The street in Toxic will be lined with
shops, but new generation of Oyamas and
Iogcs will vend their wares just as they do in
their far-off island empire There will also
be Japanese theater, a Japanese restaur-
ant and other native places Of refreshment.
The tea garden may be found one block north
OF the street in Toxic. In area. Is much
larger and in interest it will pfbabl have
the call, for a number of beautiful Geisha
girls will serve the fragrant beverage. The
finest examples of Japanese architecture
will be reproduced in the garden and in its
japanese bazaars, bridges and-more beau
tiful than allan old-time Japanese pagoda
The question of transportation between
the jamestown exposition grounds and ad-
Jacent cities Is one in which all prospective
visitors to the exposition are deeply in
terested. 1t can be emphatically stated
that provision has been made to handle all
the people who come. and a million or so
above the estimate will not impair the
efficiency of the general scheme. The rail-
way lines, trolley lines and steamboat lines
are awake to the fact that there will be
hundreds and thousands of people to handle
daily, and they are making every prepara-
ton for the traffic. 1t doesn't look as if
there would be much in the way of Jams
delays and general lack of facilities.
Institution Has Prospered.
Among the southern financial institutions
which have prospered greatly under an
advanced policy of reaching out to actively
stimulate and promote the prosperity of it's
community and tributary section a notable
example is the National Bank of Com
merce of Norfolk, which has recently COM
pleted and occupied a new thirteen-s story
hreproof building of its own that takes rank
with the most pretentious and finely ap-
pointed business structures of any city in
the. south. The bank itself occupies the
whole Of the first floor and the mezzanine
and is fitted throughout with the most
modern appointments.

Francisco more than four days of the
grandest mountain scenery in the world
