SAN D|EGO'S
 COMING SHOW

SAN DIEGO, Cal. lure 9.-When President Wilson signed the Kettner hin extending to the San Diego ex- position the same privileges and the same authority granted to previous eXpositions and to the san Francisco exposition the San Diego exposition at once assumed that rank among | worlds fairs Its scope and character had prepared for it. Starting with a comparatively mod 1 est plan in 1909. in a city at that time | | of 39. GOO people, the San Diego expo | sition was not taken seriously outside the immediate circle fthe city's in- fluence. Steady work Of preparation. devotion of capital to the amount of
 S5000 per man. woman and chil in
 the city. and a well defined plan for
 the profitable participation of states and governments have combined to | place the San Diego exposition in such position that 1t now bids fair
 to prove as large and more attractive
 than the much heralded fair at San Francisco, which. by the way is not fifty Der cent as far advanced toward completion as is that at San Diego.
 Since the day groCnd was broken in , San Diego the city has more than l doubled in population, the scope and } character of the exposition has grown P SO that no less than s6.40J,Oo0.00 have
 haen set aside for it's completion. r Many foreign governments a swell as l many states have made arrangements l to participate. The exposition itself l ia over 50 Der cent comDlete and hun
 dreds of workmen are busy with the l. buildings and Eriunds. Most of the 0 buildings are to be permanent struct. T ures and all are to bs of Spanish 0 1 Colonial architecture. one of the most ;- beautiful forms of all buildings.
 ! The action inst complefed was not l. obtained without 8 struggle. l. has + been three years since San Diego first e asked the government to take official x sognizance of her exposition project is The opposition of persons who have n since seen the error of such oDposi
 ton prevented such FecornitiOn al "a most to the last, and event in the last ,f few days the San Francisco exposition of sought to prevent the passage of the al Kettner bill.
 I'd San Diego has never had though h. Of competing with San Francisco fol E- patronage at her exposition She hal ,s held all along that the scope ana .. character Of the two exDositions ar,
 so entirely different that there can b. = no competition. While others hayt
 devoted their time to attempting tt
 dissuade an dtear down the work sh'
 is doing. San Diego has gone steadily
 forward with her project until now
 with the government recognizing hel
 exposition, placing it on exactly tn
 same footing with that at San Fran
 cisco and with previous expositiOns
 San Diego is in position to extend tt exhibitors, be they government. state
 Or private. more actual benefit from
 participation than they can possibll l derive from the San Francisco exposi ton
