DESIGN LIBRARY Birds Eye View of Panama-Pacific International Exposition from Presidio Heights. Fittingly commensurate with the heroic achievement will be the celebration in its honor. The completion of the Panama Canal beine an accomplishment affecting the interests of every civilized nation, the celebration thereof naturally suggested was a great Universal Exposition in which all nations should participate under the auspices of the United States. Congress designated San Francisco as the P'ace lor such an Exposition and entrusted to that ciiy and to the State of California the responsibility of providing for the reception of the nations of the world and for the housing of the exhibits which should best demonstrate their achievements. This responsibility was gladly accepted by San Francisco and California and the work of carrying out the duty to the nation was begun immediately. In the space of a few days a fund approximating $20,000,000 was raised by the citizens of San Francises, the municipality and the State Legislature. The fifty- eight counties of California raised several million dollars additional for their individual displays, which are on an elaborate scale. This was added to by the majority of stales throughout the Union and materially augmented by liberal amounts from foreign countries the world over It has been conservatively estimated that the grand total will represent an expenditure exceeding $50,000,000. In magnificence and splendor, number of palaces, beauty of grounds, number and quality of exhibits, diversity of subjects, completeness of detail and hugeness of the whole this will be an exposition adequate to the event it celebrates. It will have great and lasting effect upon the trade relationships and commercial activity of all countries. The Fxnosition site combines to an extraordinary degree the qualities of beauty, adaptability and convenience. It is a natural amphitheatre, fronting on the wondeffuli'^^annotted ry of Ian F?anc,sco lusfinside the famous Golden Gate. Towering wooded heights flank ,t at each end while at its back the hills roll up sharply. All this is in the very heart of the very best residential district of San Francisco and within hfteen minutes street car ride from the City Hall. The view facing north is across the SDarkline waters of the Bay— a land-locked harbor which resembles a great mountain lake more than an arm of the sea. It is rimmed around by r^ointafns with hlug^^^^^^ over all. Under the turquoise California sky. drenched with sunshine and color, it is a scene at once exquisitely beautiful and solemnly majestic Altogether the spectacle will be interesting and wonderful and never to be forgotten 248.
