of highways smoother than mai
street. No dust, why this country i
becoming a paradise for the automo
bilist There's no question about il
California is the Fairgrounds of tn
United States today and being ap
preciated as such more and more al
the years roll by and it's we'll that i
is so for there's enoungh of the states
devoted to work and money grabbing
This country's big enough and ricf
amusement and recreation. I've beer
here many times before but never have
enjoyed the odor of the orange bios
SONS, the sweet smelling flowers, the
faint subtle perfume Of the Eucalyptus
trees as this time, and never before
have | seen the hills so green and the
flowers so beautiful. Why Gala lilies
can be seen growing wild around
| barns and out-houses. In some places
hedges of blooming geraniums four
feet high is not an unusual sight, and
roses, we'll roses everywhere.
About the Frisco Fair
But hold on when l get to talking
about flowers, l forget myself and
want to tell you little about the ex
position here at Can Francisco. We
spent the last three days here and will
be here for three more. This country
will have to take its hat off to the
men who conceived and carried out
so mighty an undertaking at the Pan
ama-Pacific International exposition
and I'm utterly unable to convey to
you the adequate idea Of the vastness
of this project.
Is of Peculiar Beauty
"The sight is one of peculiar beauty
and occupies over GOO acres of ground
running along the shore of San Fran
cisco bay for two or three miles.
There's about a dozen of the big eX
hibit buildings in which are housed
the wonderful productssof the varied
industries of this busy family Of hum
an ants, but if there wasn't single
work of art, single piece of mach
inery, a single exhibit it would be
worth while to cross a continent to
see the buildings and grounds alone.
The color scheme is simply wonder
full, reStful, imposing and artistic be-
yond description. AS for the exhibits
it is said it would take man working
eight hours day eighteen years to
personally examine every thing exhib- /
tied here. | believe it, so I'm not going |
to say anything about them more than
to speak of the Canadian building and |
heir very complete and commemorate
% attract more attention than any of
he others. The Japanese people show +
I'D very strong also in all departments,
)ut where | think | have been more
Interested than anywhere else has
,een the transportation and machinery
buildings. 1t is here where you have
O stop and wonder at the ingenuity
# man and what powerful machines
uch little pigmies can produce.
A Beautiful Setting
"But what's the use, | could go on
writing all day and then wouldn't be-
in to tell you anything. There's the
alace of fine arts, the jewelled tower,
he court of sun and stars, the domes,
he fountains, the miniature railways
hat carries you in tiny cars along
ne waterfront, the little low cars
here you ride back to back and are
ulled by little automobiles all over
le grounds and yes I'd almost for
often to tell you about the grand
st sight of all, the Nominations at
light I've seen most all OF the big ex-
0sitions held during the last 80 or 40
ears but this is lighted entirely diff
rent All others have used the di-
ect system of lighting, a glary, very
dIu Oh llo eyes. 1lSS0 people nave
sed what is known as the indirect
stem where you get better results
ithout the glare.
Exposition at Night
