for centuries. Each night in the kivas
will be performed the ceremonial rites
of the various tribes represented on
the Desert.
Around the entire Painted Desert
runs an adobe wall with an occasional
gap which Is filled with a stockade Of
cedar posts. The Desert has already
proved, eve in its uncompleted condi-
ton, one of the most striking attrac-
tons on the grounds.
No exposition is complete without
its amusement concessions. At San
Diego there is a street $500 feet long,
having a frontage consequently of
nearly one mile, which today is prac-
tically entirely allotted. Applications
for several hundred feet of space have
been rejected because the managers
of the exposition felt the attractions
Offered We're old and were not worthy
of an EXPOSITION which claims to Lave
created new types in every depart
ment. The result is a street which San
Diego fully believes to be the best
amusement street which hes been
built. Several concessions arc already |
operating.
Ebert Hubbard, better known as
Fra Elbertus, has been an interested
visitor at San Diego, getting impress
sions for some extensive writing he
plans to do in his publications during
the coming winter.
1T is the only exposition l ever
saw" said the Fra, (Which is typical
of the city in which it is held. The
! San Diego exposition could be held
nowhere in the world except in the
small radius Of Southern California.
Here you have climate, the most
romantic traditions and a distinct at
mosphere in which imagination must
run riot. There are great things
ahead in 1915; great things not alone
for San Diego and for California, but
for every fastener who is fortunate
enough to com here"
The Spanish atmosphere is so strik-
ing that it cannot possibly be missed.
Every building in the grounds Is
5 Spanish-C Colonial; wen the great Pu-
ente Cabrillo which forms the west
l entrance looks as though it had been
2 transplanted from come ancient Span
| ish city. Even the large gardens and
the quiet patios are Spanish. The
gardens and attendants are cabulleros
? and conQuistadores: the dancing girls
are Spanish; the %carniva|s and other
l special events of 1915 are made up
: from the c%arnivals Of Spanish-Ancri-
5 ca of the old days. H. needs little i'm
agination to think chat IN walking
through the gates of tbs: exposition
5 one has left behind III mthe turmoil
, ami rush of a modern American city
5 end has stepy.i back three or four
centuries into a city in old Spain.
For some tine now the main build
ings of the exposition have been en-
tirely complete, the taking down Of
the scaffolding from the lofty tower
of the California State Building mark
ing the finishing touch on that struc-
ture. AS passes across the Puente
Cabrillo successfully to the Admins
t%ration building, the California build
ing and the Ethnology building, the
last two forming a permanent group
for a California museum; her the
Science and Education, and Arts and
Crafts buildings. Here the Prado
w1dens into the Plaza de Panama, at
the north end of which lies the impos-
ing structure Of the Sacramento
building. At the lower end Of the
Plaza are grouped the structures of
Kern and Tulare, Santa Clara and
Alameda counties, that of the San
Joaquin Valley, and the great $780,
900 music pavilion donated by john D.
Spreckels. The Prado picks up again
at the Foreign and Domestic Arts and
the Home Economy buildings, continu-
ing on to the East, past the Botanical
building and the surrounding gardens,
the Foreign Industries and Commerce
and Industries building. Almost at
the East gate lies the Southern Cali
fornia counties building, behind which
is assembled the highly important
agricultural exhibit, notably the citrus
orchard and the model intensive farm.
Across the way is a quiet path leading
past the service buildings and the hos
pital, down along the canyon Esragnol
into the pepper grove. All Of these
buildings are complete. One passes
up the Alameda and finds the fire sta
ton, the buildings of the International
Harvester company, and the Standard
Oil company completed; the tea plant
alton and the small pavilion of Sir
Thomas Upton complete; and work
