SAN DIEGO. TaL, March 22.-The
big dominant feature in the Pan-Pa'
c.fic building at the San Diego expo
sition is the great Hawaiian flag. 1t
stretches nearly so feet along the
wall space and in its center is the
ncnstrcus painting. of Hanalei bay,
although this picture seems lost on
the great space Of the flag. 1t has
been necessary to place large sign
on the flag stating that it is the Ha.
waiian emblem, as several indignant
| patriotic American women nearly
mobbed the director Of the building,
declaring that they would not have a
British flag the most prominent thing
IN the building. This is by long odds
the largest, longest and most beauti-
full flag on the exposition grounds and
people come from every direction to
see the big Hawaiian flag.
Every day many exhibits are being
added to the Hawaiian section and it
is hoped that each of the islands will
send its special exhibit to add to the
attractiyeness of Hawaii at San Diego.
| One of the galleries in the Pan-Pa-
cific building is being turned into a
clubroom for the newspaper men and
women of San Diego and those who
visit the exposition. Here Kona cof-
fee will always be on tap as we'll as
| light refreshments provided by the
Pan Pacific Club for the press and its
friends. The newspapers of the Pa.
cific countries as well as the maya.
zines are to be kept on file here and
beth the papers of Honolulu will have
their place. -.
Hawaiian Delegation On Hand.
Cutie Hawaiian delegation came
down from San Francisco for the
opening of the exposition On March
Is, and on that day number of pages
n the guest book were signed by
visitors from every Part of the United
States. The Hawaiian music boys
kept the building crowded all day
long. The Hawaiian coffee section is
the most popular luncheon place at
the exposition and the motion picture
theater is now being installed There
are so many reels of films from Ha-
wall and every part of the Pacific and
so many hundreds of lantern slides
from Pacific lands that they all could
not be shown In day of "a hours,
so arrangements are now being made
to show these for two hours every
evening in the open in the neighbor.
hood of the Isthmus, the home of the
amusement concessions. -,.,..'
1t would be interesting if the pro-
moters of the hardwood industries in
Hawaii could visit the Pan-Paeific
building and study the wonderful eff
fects in the Philippine section. The
columns and beams are of Philippine
mahogany and the magnificent tables,
bedsteads, chairs and book cases are
all of polished woods of the Philip
pines. On the matted walls are hung
hats and mats that are made by the
Filipinos and on the floor are glass
cases containing the handiwork of
our little brown brothers of the Phil
ippines, and there is not thing in
this section that Hawaii could not
show Just as well and Just as effect
evelyn fact, Hawaii has much to
learn from each section and each sec
ton has much to learn from Hawaii.
Pan-Pacific Idea Prevails.
The Pan-Pacific idea prevails and
daily those from the different Sec
tons meet together over Hawaiian
coffee to learn how they can assis,
each other, borrow each others ideas
and lend ideas, with the result that
every day new attractive features are
being added to the different sections
The flags of the Pan-Pacific Club
nave been sent for and on their ar
rival will be hung from the rafters
and flown from the four corners of
the Pan-Pacific building. .z.,. s... j
The Alaska exhibit is displayed be-
fore a panorama of the Muir glacierd
about so feet long by 80 feet high.
Imagine such a diorama of one of
our Hawaiian scenes as a background
of its exhibit. This diorama of Alas
ka with its entire exhibit, by the way, |
is promised to Honolulu at the end |
of the year for the permanent Pan
Pacific exhibit there
Northwest Has Exhibit.

hibit of its products with it's wall

woods from Washington and Oregon.
