Newlands Plan Too Expensive.

The plan Of Senator Newlands was re-
jected because 1t is too expensive. the
commission estimating that a sufficient
number OF permanent buildings. such as
he proposes, would cost five times the
amount allotted to construction purposes
The commission rejected the Harbor
View site for similar reasons, because
nearly all the aera REQUIRED belongs TO
private owners, which would necessitate
condemnation proceedings that could not
be disposed of during the next four years.
Another objection was the expense OF
filling the two hundred acres as pro-
posed, because Of the depth of the water.
A third was that the site is accessible
only by street cars. No steam railroad
goes anywhere near it. and none could
be built to that point.
Tho plan to extend Golden Gate Park
by the Improvement of the barren waste
that adjoins II appealed very strongly
to the national art commission. and the
only objection that can be offered is the
injury that might be suffered by the
present park by the crowds that would be
attracted there. Now that the Merced
tract is withdrawn, 1t is believed that the
Golden Gate Park site will be adopted.
It Is more popular than any other with
jections. The San Francisco people have
the right to decide upon the location, but
1t must be acceptable to the President.
who would undoubtedly give that site his
Endorsement.
The promoters Of the exposition are ex-
pecting a very large attendance from the
east, but, fear. they will be disappointed
because Of the inability Of tho transpor-
tation lines to handle many passengers.
It is not possible for all Of the railways
combined to bring in. or take out. more
than 5000 people day. That can be
demonstrated by a very simple calcula-
ton. It is impossible to carry more than
$50 passengers on a train of sleeping
cars, and twenty trains day are the
limit
The hotel accommodations. with Oak
land, Berkeley and other suburban towns,
are ample and no city in the world has
finer hotels than the st. Francis, the
Fairmont and the Palace. San Francisco
has twice as many hotels as any city In
the word Of its size. Three-fourths OF
mani hnnsas a nd most of them are new.

Visitors to Yosemite Valley.

Before the exposition something ought
to be done for tho accommodation OF
visitors to the Yosemite valley. The roads
should be rebuilt 50 that carriages and
and the stages can go over
them without the discomfort that must
be suffered at present. and new hotels
must be built The present hotels will
not accommodate more than 800 people
all told, although perhaps a thousand
can be accommodated in tents at differ
ent points. Several years ago the Sec
retary Of the Interior granted a ten-year
privilege to Frank Miller, proprietor of
the Mission Inn, at Riverside, which 1
