The Gazette:
Every one knows that the Pan
anna Pacific Exposition at San
Francisco is the Worlds celebra-
ton Of the opening Of the Pan
anna Canal. 1t is the third ex-
position of it's class held in the
United States, and the twelfth
in the history of expositions. It
is essentially contemporaneous,
no exhibit being eligible for
award, unless produced since the
ST. Louis Exposition, ten years
ago.
''It covers 635 acres of ground,
situated on the southern shore
of San Francisco Bay, and just
inside of the famous Golden
Gate. It is two and one-half
miles in length, averaging one
half mile in width. The gov
eminent Notifications of Fort
Mason, are to the east, and the
Preside Battlements to the
west. With 100000 SUBJ
scribed by citizens to start with,
the exposition grew until today
it stands as a $50,000,000 enter
prise. Pres. Taft signed the bill,
recognizing San Francisco as
the Official city to hold the ex-
position celebrating the COM
pletion of the Panama Canal, !"
which was a dream realized af-
ter four centuries.
''It is impossible to enumerate
all the wonders seen at the ex-
position. In the palace of
Transportation" every method
of travel is shown in navigation,
railway trains "air craft and
automobiles. A relief map of the
Lincoln Highway" is shown
from ocean to ocean. A huge
army wagon, used by the army
of the Potomac, with Gen. Sher-
man in all his compaign, and
used for AGO miles of travel,
is yet in a good condition appar-
antly. Gen. Thomas office wa
gon was on exhibition.
Hears Argentian
"My sisters and myself were
at the dedication of the Argen-
tine Pavilion, and I learned some
things that surprised me, from
DR.. Victorino de La Plaza and
one or two others, in their ad-
dresses. The Argentine Repub.
lie appropriated $1,700,0O0 fol
their exhibits. 1t has over s..
900 exhibits installed. Argen.
tina exports more chilled meat
and corn than any other nation
It ranks second as a producer OF
corn and wool, among the ma.
lions, and is the bread and meat
basket Of Europe. According tt
it's population, it has a larger
railroad mileage than any 9th.
er country. It is the only coun.
try that has finger prints OF its
electorate, and requires all of i!
to be photographed. Argentine
controls trusts and has labor
union laws that political scien.
lists adopt. The Argentine Re-
public could not fail to come tC
the international Exposition.
'That Titanic work, the com.
pletion of the Panama Canal, the
browning peaceful achievement
of this century, opening a path
through continent, for navi.
cation and trade, shortening
world distances and Tightening
links Of friendship between the
nations, furnished enough rea-
son for the acceptance of the
invitation and gave us at the
same time an opportunity tt
show to all the world our prog
ress and our wealth.
Argentine has two Of the
largest dreadnaughts in the
world, it is the third most pow
erful exporting country, it has
a compulsory ballot. The great
nation Of the south has followed
with intent eye every detail Of
the Colossus of the north. IT.
