There is nothing to compare with it and a grand International Exposition to celebrate the realization of this dream of four centuries is eminently appropriate. In no sense is this Exposition simply a local or California under- taking. Every state and all the people are alike interested and it is a simple duty that all feel a responsibility and pride in its success. Those who fail to visit California this year miss an opportunity the like of which probably will not recur in a lifetime. It is different from any prior world fair. It surpasses all others as industrial progress of the last decade during which the Panama Canal was practically built, surpasses that of the previous half century. The world’s economic and artistic accomplishments in the ten years from 1904 to 1915 are assembled in the eleven Exhibit Palaces. Only the best in each art and craft is shown, so that in the vast array of this unprecedented display the visitor is not confused by articles of secondary worth. It glorifies heroes now living. It places a milestone in world progress toward the unknown future. The cost of the canal is approximately $400,000,000 — fully $50,000,000 is expended in the Panama-Pacific International Expo- sition. The task of making this a pageant that will stand out supreme and unequaled amongst world fairs is rendered the easier from the facts that never before has a universal exposition been held in a seaport; never before on the shores of the Pacific; never before in a climate of almost perennial summer; -never before in celebration of an event that commanded not only the admiration but the lively self-interested attention of the entire civilized world. , Three \ oy KS —?y| Arch of the Setting Sun, at the west entrance of the Court of the Universe.

The winter or rainy season, which ordinarily begins in November, usually ends the ‘middle of March, and the heavy rains are over a month earlier. Often the rains are mostly at night when the winter days are delec- tably perfect. Snow, ice, or blizzard are unknown. In a true sense San Francisco has no summer, for June, July, and August are invari- ably cool. September, the warmest month, has a mean temperature of 59.1°, and January, the coldest, 49.2°. In the past twenty years there have been only twenty-seven days in which the temperature exceeded 90° and none when it fell below 32°, freezing point. Differ- ences between day and night temperatures are small, averaging about 8°. Visitors should bring light overcoats and wraps, but between April and November they may safely leave umbrellas at home. Festival Hall will be adapted to many of the great conventions and con- gresses to be held in San Francisco this year. The Hall contains seats for about 3,000 people, a huge pipe organ, as well as some ten halls for meetings and assemblages. Five 7s 2 j Palace of Horticulture seen from the South Gardens.

In the center are the main exhibit palaces and gardens; to the west are the foreign and state pavilions, the livestock enclosure, drill grounds, and aviation field; to the east is ‘‘ The Zone,” the tropical-typical name for the sixty-three acres of the amusement concessions. The grounds are within two miles of the business center, easily accessible by electric cars or ferries. On the hillsides to the south and east is the residence section, with apartment and rooming houses, where many will find comfortable accommodations. Six ‘ =) ~yY, From Oakland, Berkeley, and Alameda, across the bay, are direct ferry connections. Motor busses and tramcars, running on miniature double track railway almost encircling grounds, transport visitors to any part of Exposition—fare for either, 10 cents. Push chairs, bicycle chairs, and electric jinrikishas are available at reasonable prices. The main exhibit palaces are in a compact area so connected that distances between, like structures of former world fairs, are eliminated, greatly economizing time and steps. The main exhibit palaces form a anise connected structure covering a square half mile in a beautiful landscape setting, adorned with sculpture and mural paintings.

Undoubtedly nowhere on the globe is there assembled within such narrow boundaries so much of wonder and marvel of things to interest and instruct. Twenty-four gardens make up the landscape department’s contribution to the perfect unit which the Exposition is, each man concerned in its creation having studied to make his contribution harmonize with every other part. Seventy-five thousand boxes of mesembryanthemum (ice plant) vine were used in construction of the floral wall which forms the south boundary of the main exhibit section.

Here for 288 days from 9.30 a.m. to 11.00 p.m. it is continuous open house, while the exhibit palaces close at sunset. On either side of the broad dividing avenue, 3,000 feet long, is marshalled a galaxy of fun producers, both with and without educational adjuncts. When it is considered that thousands of applications for concession on the “‘Zone’’ were made and from this number only the best were selected it will be seen that the selection includes such attractions that have either amusement or educational value. A total of more than eleven millions of dollars were expended in its establishment. Among other attractions is a huge working model of the Panama Canal which is so extensive that visitors, comfortably seated, will be carried along the route of the Canal and a dictaphone at the Eight ee ———oooooooooo Xo = arm of each chair will describe each scene as it comes into view.

Yellowstone National Park Exhibit of Union Pacific System at Panama-Pacific Inter- national Exposition The Union Pacific System has added popularity to Yellowstone National Park by means of its western entrance at Yellowstone, Montana. It offers the direct, inviting and most advantageous approach to this galaxy of astounding marvels. Government figures show that the largest number of visitors entering the Park during seasons 1913 and 1914 made the trip by way of this portal. What more appropriate than for the pioneer trans-continental if ("7 ae Vista through rich verdure at corner of Varied Industries Palace, showing Machinery’ Palace across the Avenue of Progress.

The Panama Canal incites and invites superlatives. In like fashion, just as the Exposition which com- memorates it excels all which have gone before, so this Yellow- stone reproduction is the largest exhibit ever erected at any World Fair, involving the use of two million feet of lumber and the expen- diture of half a million dollars. The salient features of this titanic wonderland are imaged true to life so faithfully as to impress on the mind the mountains, canyons, geysers and valleys as Dame Nature fashioned them in the Wyoming fastness. Old Faithful Inn is conspicuous, well meriting its name. It is not in miniature in any particular, for there is no curtailment in proportions. Entering the Exposition Grounds by the main East Gate, on Van Ness Avenue, this unique scenic resort is immediately to the right toward the harbor. It occupies over four acres of ground. The Yellowstone Park entrance from the main Avenue—which divides the Zone north and south—portrays a canyon passage between two of the most noted objects in the Park. On the right is the Golden Gate—as though lifted from its home in the Rockies and set down near its Pacific namesake—a picturesque passage between Bunsen Peak and Terrace Mountain, around the base of which the United States Government has built an artistic viaduct. This is shown correct in detail and contour. On the left towers Eagle Nest Rock, a precipitous cliff, one of the popular landmarks of the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, on top of which, and far removed from the possibility of human reach, is the nesting place of the American Eagle. The passage between these grand rugged rock-masses forms an interesting canyon picture, beyond which are the nature-painted Hot Spring Terraces, fed by the water from the Great Falls of the Yellowstone, which pours in a rushing torrent over the lofty precipice with a grandeur akin to the original, possessing irresistible charm. These mountains are certain to prove the most artistic, genuine and real which have ever been attempted in this country or elsewhere. Thirteen aI a ee.) The Exhibit of the Union Pacific System at the Panama-Pacific Exposition has an educational value quite out of the ordinary, showing, as it does, in full size some of the noteworthy features of Yellowstone National Park, and, in accurate relief model, the contour of the entire district. An actual geyser and a full-size waterfall are features. No artificial summits and ranges heretofore produced compare with them in size or effectiveness. Encircled within and under the majestic slopes of the grand mountain at the right of the entrance, is the great Spectatorium seating 1,000 people. Here are reproduced, on a stage 95x50 feet, many of the natural wonders of the Park. Amid other of the nota- bles Old Faithful Geyser is seen on duty, one of the world’s most remarkable phenomena. At regular intervals, uniform with those of its prototype, great gushes of vast volumes of boiling water and steam are thrown high into the air. With searchlights playing upon this dazzling spectacle and reflecting accurately this greatest of all geysers, it cannot fail to prove memorable. There is a notable educational feature. In the large central space a novel topographic portrayal—for it is far more than and Fourteen —————S KS EE unlike any map—shows the important geyser and other plutonic formations; hot springs, roaring mountains, lakes, falls, cascades, grottoes, government roads, trails and other outlines; so correctly located that any one familiar with the Park can readily point out the roadways taken by him, as well as all the important natural wonders which astound and electrify tourists. Nothing to compare with it was ever before attempted on so large a scale,—somewhat more than one acre in area. The artists who consummated these remarkable contour, water, river and mountain effects are enthu- siastic lovers of Yellowstone National Park, who made many sketches and studies in detail on numerous visits. The dominant feature of the exhibit is Old Faithful Inn, which covers a ground area of 47,000 square feet at the north end of the concession. Its exterior is, in size and construction, a replica of its prototype in faraway Yellowstone. There is no curtailment in proportions; no elimination of details. The reproduction is exact. The hewn-log pillars, railed balconies, multi-gabled roof, and, high above all, the eight flapping pennants, are all there. The interior decoration of the dining hall ae ES een delineates the wholesome hospitality of the mountains and forests. There is no gold or glitter but a warmth of rustic simplicity, the somber tones of pillars and panels blending in perfect harmony with the treatment of the exterior of the Inn. It is easy to predict with certainty that this cafe de luxe with its great orchestra, its cuisine and large floor space for dancing, will be the center of the night life of the Exposition. It is expected, too, that the splendor of Old Faithful Inn will furnish the setting for the important formal banquets and receptions of the Fair, including the entertainment of the President of the United States, members of the Cabinet, the Diplomatic Corps, Senators, Governors and other men of prominence.

THE PANAMA-CALIFORNIA EXPOSITION 1915— SAN DIEGO — 1915 OPEN ALL YEAR San Diego, at the extreme southern tip of the Pacific Coast of the United States, is holding, throughout 1915, the first all-year exposition in history, made possible by the frost-free, heat-free cli- mate of this favored section of the country. Instead of competing with the Panama-Pacific Exposition at San Francisco, San Diego is complementing it, supplying features which could exist only with the co-operation of the extraordinary climate which has produced the orange orchard, the tea plantation, and the overwhelming growth of Los Jardines de Montezuma.

SPANISH-COLONIAL It is as unique in architecture as in other ARCHITECTURE features. All the buildings are Spanish- THROUGHOUT Colonial, some of the ancient mission type, some of the later mission, some cathedral, some palace, but all truly Spanish and truly beautiful. More than beauty was involved in the choice of this type. Rather is it history and tradition. It was to San Diego Bay that the caraval of Cabrillo came in 1542, bringing to the west coast the first white men. It was thither that Viscaino came in 1602. It was there that Portola came, with Fray Junipero Serra in 1769, and at San Diego de Alcala that the first of the Cali- fornia missions was built. There was the start of civilization, and in the olive orchards and the waving palms, which Fray Serra set out and which still are bearing, are the oldest relics of the romantic days of the Padres. San Diego had traditions to maintain. Hence the use of the Spanish idea. And with the Magic City built on the sightly mesa, which looks down across the canyons to the sea and back over the valleys of orange and olive and grape to the foothills of the Sierras and the low table-lands of Mexico, less than twenty miles away, additional Spanish color was provided. The lawns which line the EI Prado and the Plaza de Panama, the broad gardens overhanging the canyons, the quiet patios within the mission structures, are laid out in Spanish design. The guards are Spanish guards, the atten- dants are cavalleros and conquistadores, the girls are Spanish dancing girls. The bandsmen are vaqueros, and the boy who feeds the pigeons in the open plaza is as Spanish as the bolero airs which sweep from the great organ pavilion. It is easy to burst through the palms by the entrance, and with a single step to leave behind all memory of a twentieth century tidewater city, for this is Spain. This is romance. This is poetry. It is the land of loveliness and the Exposition Beautiful is its fairest spot. Seventeen LO. — AN EXPOSITION OF There is more than romance within the SOUTHWEST Exposition gates, however. One prime ob- RESOURCES ject of the Exposition is to show in com- prehensive form to the tourist from other sections exactly what the great American West has to offer. With the customary travel to Europe impossible in 1915, and special opportunities for western travel afforded, by reason of the special rates by rail, there is an effort to advance the ‘“‘See America First” idea to the utmost. A great part of the San Diego Exposition is devoted to showing what there is in the West in the way of opportunity—as to agriculture and other industries as well as the most majestic scenery the world knows. Hence the acreage given over to the citrus orchard, where all the year the visitor can see the orange, the lemon, the grapefruit, and Eastward from the Plaza de Panama. Sections of the Home Economy and Varied Industries Buildings at the left, the east gate showing at the end of El Prado. Eighteen = kumquat and tangerine in full blossom or bearing power. Hence the Ceylon tea plantation, the first considerable American experiment in this industry. Hence the display of model intensive farming and extensive alike. Hence the indoor displays of manufacturing, particularly concerned with western development. Hence, too, the participation of various western states whose buildings for the most part line La Via de los Estados, the highway on the lower plateau past the United States Marine camp where the Fourth Regiment is stationed for Exposition year. Herein agriculture, irrigation, forestry, mining of fine and base metals, fishing, and other great industries of the ‘Empire in the making”’ are under practical demon- stration. It is this country in which San Diego is vitally interested, for as the first port of call north of the Panama Canal, whose opening both 1915 Expositions celebrate, San Diego must serve as the entrepot for the great Southwest. There has been noteworthy attention given to the little known Indian life of America, ‘ not alone the existing life in pueblo and on o> ) plain, but also the ancient life of Aztec, Toltec, Inca, and Maya, from whose buried cities explorers for the Exposition, the Smith- sonian Institute and the School of American Archeology recovered a priceless collection of ancient monuments, pottery, and sculpture. The exhibits of archeology and ethnology fill three of the main exhibit buildings. The Isthmus with its 5,000 feet of frontage, contributes to the gaiety of the occasion with the Indian, Hawaiian, Japanese, and Chinese villages among the more striking features, as well as a huge working model of the Panama Canal, through which ships move under electric power. A typical California gem mine, an ostrich farm, and an aquarium of Pacific marine life, furnishing interesting lights on some of the typically western sights.

Similarly the price lists for eating houses on the Exposition grounds are under the control of the Exposition, and extortion seems to have been made impossible by the other activities of the public service division. It is the same sort of management which enabled the Exposition to open entirely free from debt. However imposing the pageants from the days of the ancient red men, or the days of the conquistadores or the days of the padres, the most impressive feature is the horticulture splendor of the grounds. In the cities of the North during the holidays the poinsettia often sells for one dollar a bloom. The whole Prado at San Diego at the opening was a riot of brilliant crimson, furnished by banks of growing poinsettias. The rose and clematis, the jasmine and honeysuckle sweep over wall and pergola.

Cordial invitation is extended to visitors to make the Union Pacific System space in the Panama-California Exposition their headquarters.

The whole hearted service of this System—to make traveling easy—is at your command from the time you leave home to the time you return. THE UNION PACIFIC SYSTEM YOUR HOST THE WESTWARD ROUTE AND WHAT IT HAS IN STORE There are certain interesting points of contrast and resem- blance between the Panama Canal and the Union Pacific. The ) : 2 Twenty-One L QE PF canal bisects the continent at its narrowest and weakest place, while the Union Pacific and its connections bisect it at its broadest and mightiest. Every foot of the Panama Canal is a graven record of mammoth achievement. Every foot of the Union Pacific’s right- of-way was won from the wilderness and the Indians by the sturdy pioneers and hallowed by baptism with their blood. If the Panama Canal begins a new era in the history of the Pacific Ocean, surely the Union Pacific rails are the red marginal lines down one of the most absorbing pages in the whole history of the United States. What more fitting than that the traveler should go to history-record- ing expositions over a railroad that follows steadfastly the path of our most romantic historical events? A significant bit of current history the traveler will learn is that fifty years of progressive develop- ment have given the Union Pacific a high degree of perfection in equipping and operating its system. More than three-fifths of its main line is double-tracked; every mile is protected by automatic electric block safety signals and rendered dustless by the ballasting Denver's park system is but a sample of the progressiveness of the Capital City of Colorado.

Seeking California, the traveler may follow the through route of the historic Overland Trail, via Southern Pacific, Ogden, and Sacra- mento to San Francisco or Los Angeles. Or, he may take the south- ern route (Salt Lake Route from Salt Lake City) to Los Angeles, or the northern route of the Union Pacific System to Portland, Oregon, Tacoma and Seattle, thence southward. Returning, he may com- bine these routes, or select from them. The Union Pacific operates seven through daily trains from Chicago to the Pacific Coast via Omaha, and three daily trains from Kansas City to California, two of which carry through equip- ment from St. Louis. !
