Panama Expositions
BY Frederic J. Haskin,

California will be host to the world
object will be to entertain millions of
people from every part of the globe.
The occasion will be the official OPEN
ing of the Panama canal. The object
Will be to inform the world of the
greatness of California, in particular,
and of Pacific America in general,
From the dawn to the twilight of 1915
the cities of San Francisco and San
Diego with their two expositions will
make the yea a red blotch of achieve
ment and entertainment on old
rather Times drab calendar.
San Francisco within it's Golden
Gate and san Diego, nostling in the
arch of its own Silver Gate, expect to
the human race the greatest in
ternational two-ringed circus ever
staged. More than that: They think
their combined efforts will produce
the universal Circus Maximus. so it
WlIl If an outlay Of $4,000, 900 and
100000 tons of energy and brains
count for anything. Their motto now
is: "Greatest and Best" After 1915
they think it will be california; the
state that Made Panama Famous"
California has been planning to
astonish the world in a signal way
since 1909, when the idea of celebrat-
ing the Panama achievement in proper
form was first preached definitely bv
u. A. Davidson, then president of the
san Diego chamber Of commerce.. Out
OF that thought is growing the Pan
ama-Pacific International exposition
at San Francisco and the Panama
California exposition at San Diego.
Never before has one state tried to do
such big things at once.
President Charles G. Moore and his
assistants hope to create the greatest
worlds fair in history in the Panama
Pacific international exposition at
san francisco. 1t will open Febru-
airy 20 and close December 4, 1915,
The area will be 625 acres, about the
same as the Chicago exposition, but
with greater floor space for eXhibi-
ton purposes. The testimony of Of
ficials and exhibitors was that the st,
Louis fair of 1904 was spread over
altogether too much ground. The San
rIdlit1Scn Ialr VIII cost about $780,
900, 600. The citizens of California
subscribed $1,000. 900, the state appro-
priated $4,000, 900; and the city of San
Francisco issued bonds for $5,0 0 900.
several millions of dollars will be
raised by the 5S counties of California
for their individual displays. Fully
80 foreign nations will send costly ex-
hibits, and all the great commercial
concerns of the world, without refer
ence to color or creed, will spend large
sums in the advertisement of their
wares.
Chronologically the story of the San
francisco fair is: Authorized by act
OF congress January l. 1911; first

SALMON DAY.

Following the example of other
communities whose output is a spe-
cialty. the Puget sound region yester-
day observed salmon day as a means
OF giving publicity to the importance
of the great fishery interests of the
northwest. Our own breakfast, yes
tcrday morning, was a delicious bit
of kippered salmon. We p there
was like recognition of the day by
other folks. We have Melon day, Po-
tato day, Apple day and the like. i n
districts where these products are
specialized, and the result has been
a lot of excellent advertising, The
lower carnivals of many cities have
proved good advertising, but they have
not been SO directly in the line of
commercial publicity as are these
days which are devoted to directing
attention to food products. The OBJ
s"rvance Of Salmon day was, as far
as we a Judge, completely success
full. Our western n]eighbors are en-
titled to congratulations.

THE CITY

Three candidates are in the field for
the office of city commissioner. The
nominations by petition include j.. w.
Rely, r. A. Cove and William Hous-
ton. Mr.. Houston Is the present com
missioner of public safety. His add
minlstration has, we believe, com
mended itself to all citizens who be-
lieye in a business administration
The Muscular has heard from Mr.
Houston's associates in the city coun-
Gil sincere approval and Endorsement
of the part he has taken in the
handling of the city's affairs. 1t is
a matter of record that the police de-
partment of the city was never as
economically handled as at present;
we believe it was never more efficient
tina it is now. The record of good
service Is the best Endorsement a man
can have for office. Mr.. Houston's
record surely will commend him to all
thinking citizens who desire to have
Missoula we'll governed. we'll policed
