WHY NEW ORLEANS
CITY 10 LOGICAL POINT FOR
WORLDS PANAMA EXPOSITION.
Its Geographical Position and Many
Other Considerations Mark II a.
Most Suitable Spot for Dedi.
cation Of Great Work.

Public sentiment has decided that
the completion of the Panama Canal
In 1915 shall be celebrated with a
great International Exposition In
which all the nations OF the world
may participate; and the question Of
where this Exposition Is to be held
will be settled by Congress at its ap-
preaching session.
New Orleans and San Francisco
are contesting for the honor OF hold
ing this Exposition, and both cities
have guaranteed immense sums Of
money as an evidence Of their ability
to finance 80 great an enterprise.
An Exposition worthy OF the term
Worlds Fair" such as New Orleans
proposes to build. will be great ed
ucational movement. Its success as
such. however. will depend entirely
upon the percentage Of our popula-
ton who can secure It's educational
advantages. this in turn, depends up
on Its location. as the time in travel
ing to and from the Exposition. and
the cost in railroad and Pullman
fares. are the most important factors
Considering these matters, New
Orleans claims to being the "Logi-
cal Point" for this Panama Exposi-
ton. seem to be fully substantiated
by the following facts
New Orleans is 500 miles from the
center Of population In the United
States. San Francisco is $500 miles
distant therefrom.
Within a radius OF 500 miles from
New Orleans there are 17,5OO,0OO
people. Within the same radius from
San Francisco there are only 1000, 900.
Within radius OF 1000 miles from
New Orleans. there are 100000
Within the same radius from San
Francisco there are only 100000
At an average OF 900 miles from
New Orleans, there are 10 OF our
principal cities with combined
population OF 2O,0OO,OOO. Averaging
900 miles from San Francisco there
are only large cities. with com.
bined population OF Just 1000. OO0
The average distance OF all these
cities to New Orleans Is 1872 miles,
to San Francisco 2.4O7 miles.
Over rs per cent. Of the people OF
the United States could go to an
Exposition there at an average e1.
pense for railroad fare OF $3.50, as
against an average OF $3.50 to the
Pacific Coast: and for several mil.
lions OF our people, the Pullman
fare and Dining Car expenses alone,
for trip to San Francisco, would
amount to more than all their trans.
portation expenses for trip to New
Orleans.
This Is an important public ques.
ton to be settled by Congress at the
session which convenes in December.
