The Governments In
VeStTnent

THE Government is backing the Panama
Canal with all of its mighty resources
for the purpose of expanding its trade
on the Pacific Ocean, the theater of the coming
worlds events. San Francisco IS the me
tropolis of the American Pacific Coast-Eve,
virile, active, progressive, clean, healthy, at
tractive-the magnet which has drawn travel
ers from all over the world ever since the days
of Spanish control. And San Francisco is
the logical city in which to celebrate the
completion of the Panama Canal.

Short Trips Around
San Francisco

~ IDE trips will be made to the Yosemite
y Valley, the scenic beauty spot of Amer
lea and of the world, its green carpeted
floor with sheer cliffs rising over three thous-
and feet on either side, over which rivers
unanimously tumble in roaring grandeur;
to Lake Tahoe, the Lake Geneva of America,
a mountain lake. the largest body of water
in the world, at this altitude, 6,240 #. twenty

mountains; to Santa Cruz, the Atlantic City
of the Pacific; to the big trees, some of them
thirty-three feet in diameter, where Gen.
Fremont, the Pathfinder, pitched his camp;
to Monterey, the first capital of California,
where Admiral Sloat raised the American flag
in '46; to Mount Tamalpais over the crook
eldest railroad in the world, where one can
look out on the Pacific on one side and on
the other into seven counties comprising
an agricultural country, growing practic-
ally everything under the sun; to the geysers
of Lake county, with boiling springs and
hot mud baths of great medicinal values;
to the famous Greek Theater of Berkeley, to

San Francisco Raised
Four Million Dollars
In Two Hours

q AN FRANCISCO raised over four mil
lion dollars In two hours at a mass
- meeting of her citizens, and every
contribution was voluntary Since this
meeting other millions have been sub
scribed. The California Legislature has
pledged five million dollars. We do not ask
Congress for money. We have taken care
of that ourselves, but we do ask Congress
to authorize the President of the United
States to invite the nations of the world
to participate in our Exposition, which
will celebrate the Greatest Human
Achievement, Americas Panama Canal,
and to take this action immediately, as
the time is short for successful accom-
plishnent.

Population

NNE million white, prosperous, energetic
' J American people live in San Francisco
and within fifteen miles. Statistics of
all expositions show the great volume of at
tendances comes from the immediate neigh
borhood. Over one thousand trains a day
load and unload passengers to San Francisco.
The census takers of the Government
found last month that San Francisco has the
most cosmopolitan population of any city in
the. world. All languages spoken. Foreign
ers have sought certain sections of the city
and there congregated. A visit to these col
onies is interesting and instructive. Globe
trotters say that in San Francisco they can
get "meal in any language in her restau-
rants.
San Francisco's new Chinatown is rebuilt
in Orierval architecture. The glded domes
of her pagOdas add striking features to the
beauty of the new city.

Further Reasons Why the PanamaPacc international Exposition
1915 Should Be Held in the City by the Golden Gate:
San Francisco Hotels

q AN FRANCISCO has a greater number
of fine hotels than any other city In
~ America except New York. They have
been rebuilt of steel and reinforced concrete,
embodyiDg the most modern idea In archi-
lecture, and afforCing the maximum comfort
and convenience to guests. We are prepared
today to entertain the visitors to such an
Exposition. San Francisco has always been
noted for It's restaurants, surprising every
city In the world. The tables abound in
products from fertile California soil that
cannot be found elsewhere.

Climate and Health

V VISITORS to the Panama-Pacifc Inter
national Exposition will find San
Francisco the most healthful city in the
world. Trade winds from the Pacific make
the air cool and invigorating all summer long.
The Government map at st. Louis Exposition
showed San Francisco to have the coolest
days in summer of any city in the United
States; temperature around ffty-eight de-
grees- The Exposition can be visited any
month in the year with equal comfort and
pleasure to travellers.

The Bayou San Francisco

NNE hundred miles IN length and ten
miles in width Because of the great
size, accessibility, and safe anchorage
afforded by the Bay of San Francisco, the
British feet viii make this port their only
stop on the United States coast of the Pacific
Ocean. Admiral Evans led his round-the-
world battleship feet into the Golden Gate
and gave review before the Secretary of the
Navy and million people on the hills over
looking the beautiful Bay of San Francisco.
During the PortoIa Festival of 1909 many
nations sent their warships to this harbor
to celebrate the discovery of the Bay of San
Francisco.

Rebuilt San Francisco

NNLY four years ago San Francisco lost
S500,000,000 in the greatest fire in the
worlds history-a mighty sum, equal
ing the total cost to the Government for
building the Panama Canal, but she gained
the sympathy and friendship of all nations,
Now she invites them here to celebrate the
rebuilt city, constructed of fireproof materials
by her own capital.

San Francisco Thought
First

Q EVEN years ago San Francisco laid the
- foundations for holding an Exposition to
celebrate the opening of the Panama
Canal The company was Incorporated, the
project taken up with the State Legislature,
and was the first to come before Congress
with definite proposition; backed by real
money More than seven million dollars have
already been subscribed and more is being
added every day by her generous and public
spirited citizens
In 1893 and 1894 San Francisco held a
AIid-winter Fair, a success from start to
finish, ending with a surplus, though having
no governmental aid whatsoever.
The Washington times., 1910-05-27
Coming to the Exposi-
ton via Panama Canal

CAN FRANCISCO has the unique geo
, graphical location of making It possible
for visitors from the Eastern States, from
Europe, and from the countries bordering on
the Atlantic to come through the Panama
Canal itself and come to the Exposition that
celebrates this great event.

The cheapness OF cotton as compar-
ed with linen thread has always bven
an important item In favor of the fors-
mer. BY a recent discovery, however,
linen has been put ON an almost even
footing with cotton. h process OF
removing the woody particles from
the fibre has heretofore been a long
and tedious one. In olden times 1t
took thirty weeks hernre h time nf
pulling the flax and the delivery of
the goods-even to-day II eleven
weeks where the old process Is used
In Europe. BY h new process II IS
possible to convert the raw fax into
pure white linen fibre, ready for spin

linen can be sold as cheaply al cot

the manufacturer and dealer.
