Sentiment Of the South.
Congress saw fit to give the cele-
bration of the opening Of the Panama
canal into your keeping, and already
you have proved your ability to carry
on the great undertaking to success
full conclusion. We cannot say that we
would have done better or as we'll We
glory in what you have done. Your
success Is our success. 1t Is not
prophecy to say that this work so no.
bly, begun will result in the greatest
Exposition since the beginning Of time.
THE contest between New orleans
and San Francisco at Washington was
of a character that the world had never
before witnessed. 1t was the great
topic OF interest all over the United
States. You advertised your Golden
State OF California, and we advertised
our Pelican State Of Louisiana. You
won. We have not for single moment
sulked I'm our tents, and we promised
our support the day following your VIC
tory. and | am here today to say that
we are ready to fulfill that promise.
Il shall be proud indeed to tell all
the people OF my state what the officials
OF the Panama Pacific international
Exposition are doing and the feeling
that exists here for them, and am sure
that they will reciprocate."
The numbers Of people going to San
Francisco in 1915 will make up the
greatest travel movement in the his
tory Of the United States. according to
the predictions Of travel experts. With
the European countries closed to tray
elers, the Americans who tour in 1915
will See America First" and San
Francisco Will be the Mecca toward
which they will set their faces. The
traveller to San Francisco in 1915 will
have a choice OF routes that will offer
for sightseeing and study a range never
before presented in the history OF ex-
positions. Railway tickets win be good
to 20 or return by any Of the many
east and west railroads. This arrange
ment will result In much travel through
the south. from which the entire section
car but benefit.

Ready the Opening Day.

/ The Panama Pacific International
Exposition will be opened Feb. 90 1915,
on time and ready complete to the last
minute detail. The worlds exposition
! building record was broken when, six
months before the opening day, all of
| the great exhibit palaces were com
pleted and turned over to the various
chiefs Of departments for the installa-
tion Of exhibits. At the present time
hundreds of tons of foreign and do
nestle exhibits are arriving daily on
the docks at the Exposition grounds
deposited there by the ocean freighters
coming in through the Golden Gate
, from all parts of the world or switched
in freight cars over the Exposition
terminal railway system directly into
the exhibit palaces where the displays
are to be installed. The twelve miles
Of track within the Exposition grounds
and exhibit palaces are In constant use
in the distribution of shipments that
are as varied as the parts of the earth
from which they come.
| The first Japanese shipments Of 5000
tons have been received; ten cOnsign-
ments of 1868 crates and cases have
arrived from the Canadian govern
ment: $50 crates Of rare bulbs made
part of the shipment from Holland;
| 10000 pounds of exhibits and ma
terlals have come from the Philippines
10000 pounds of materials have come
from the Argentine, and heavy ship
ments from England, Germany, Austria
liza, New Zealand, China and Italy are
already on the grounds.
The Exposition as it stands com
pleted represents an investment of $50.

theater extending for distance of two
and one-half miles along the shore OF
San Francisco bay just within the
Golden Gate. On the east II touches
Fort Mason, and on the west II reaches
to the United States Preside military
reservation. In the background are the
hills of San Francisco and the wooded
slopes Of the Preside. northward
across the strait rise the Marin hills
and the towering shape OF Mount Tam
alpais, while before the Grand Es-
planade stretch the sparkling island
dotted waters of the bay. Beyond doubt
it is the most beautiful site ever used
for a great world exposition In all his
tory.

EASTERN SYCAMORE
LARGEST SHADE TREE
Worthington (|nd, Prize Win
ner Is $50 Feet Tall.

Washington.-"Tha the largest shade
tree in the United States, as brought to
light by the prize contest held by the
American Genetic association, should
turn out to be the eastern sycamore is
not surprising" according to a state
ment issued by the forest service
"The sycamore has long been regard
ed as the largest deciduous tree in
North America, and it's range of growth
is hardly second to that of any other
broad leafed tree, for it can be found
from Maine to Florida and as far west
as Kansas" says the report.
The prize winner was a sycamore at
Worthington, Ind, which is ~ feet
inches in circumference and $50 feet
tall. FOresters are recommending the
sycamore for city planting because it is
peculiarly able to withstand the smoke,
dust and gases incident to urban life.
1t is as resistant to insects as almost
any other species and is a quick grow
er. At ten years healthy sycamore
usually is large enough for shade as
we'll as for decorative purposes.
There is hardly any eastern species
SO picturesque. With it's notified bark
and it's stature and conformation the
sycamore has a marked individuality
and cannot be mistaken for any other
species either in the summer, when the
foliage cOncealS it's structural form, or
in the winter, when the leaves are alb
sent
A common objection to the sycamore
as lawn tree is it's habit of dropping
it's leaves before the autumn. From
this characteristic it is sometimes
called a ''dirty tree"
The chestnut and the black walnut
are the largest nut bearing trees in
this country. The contest disclosed a
chestnut tree near Crestmont, N. c.,
which is thirty-three feet four inches
in circumference and about seventy
five feet tall.
The contest brought forth photo
graphs, and authentic descriptions of
337 trees in all parts of the United
States, making a distinctly valuable
contribution to existing knowledge Of
native trees. 1t was found that in all
probability there is no living elm
larger than ''the great elm at Weth-
ersfeld, Conn, which is twenty eight
feet in circumference and about 100
feet tall and is estimated to be $50
years old.
Many remarkable specimens Of spe
cies which ordinarily attain only small
sizes were unearthed by the contest,
furnishing new records of maximum
growth. A. sassafras was brought to
light at Horsham, Pa, which is fifteen
feet ten inches in circumference at
four feet from the ground. Not long
before this a Georgia town claimed
that it had the largest sassafras tree in
the world, though this tree was only
something over seven feet in circum-
ference.
A white birch was found in Massa-
chusetts with girth Of twelve feet
two inches. A pecan was found in
Louisiana with a circumference of
nineteen feet six inches, and a catalpa
in Arkansas with girth of sixteen
feet
