WASHINGTON. D.. c., Oct. 1s-
with the approval OF the San Diego
exposition plans by Congress as in
dicated by the action of the House
In passing the resolution authorizing
and requesting the President to In
vite the countries of Latin America
to participate in the great celebra-
ton over the opening of the Pana-
ma canal, the fortunes of the big
fair have taken on an impetus which
even director General Collier, its
most enthusiastic supporter. did not
at first think would be possible.
This is indicated by the action OF,
the directors in altering the location
of the site for the exposition in Bal
boa Park, San Diego, in order to-
provide more, room. The new site
will cover 1877 acres of ground, and
it is so situated as to permit OF ex-
pansion over $50 acres of ground III
that should become necessary. The
scope of the exposition has been
growing very rapidly, and it Is GER
tain that the Panama+California In
lternational Exposition will be one of
the most unique, and also one of
the biggest held in this country. 1t
will be only second, it seems now,
| to the big exposition which will be
held in San Francisco at the same
time, and every effort will be made
to surpass the San Francisco show.

An Exposition Ship.
In connection and cooperation
with the chambers of commerce of.
Los Angeles and San diego, the

cursion to Panama and back. This

part of January. 1912. Already
business firms are signing up for ex-
hibit space on the ship and pro
spective passengers are booking
passage. The ship will touch at six
teen ports on the west coast, be-
tween San Diego and Panama. III
is possible that the cruise will be ex-
tended to Valparaiso, Chile.
Steamships from Europe.
The steamship people are taking
great deal of interest in the open
ing of the canal, and in tae holding
of the exposition to celebrate that
event.
The great Northern German. Lloyd,
operating monster ships and thread
ing the paths of commerce in every
sea, will run a line direct from
Europe to San Diego. and thence to-
San francisco, during the progress
of the Panama-California Interna-
itional Exposition. The plans Tor
this new line are not yet fully
worked out, but in a short time the
company will be able to make public
announceemnt of it's intentions.
This means, of course, great i'm
