Mills’ speech. He showed a deep knowledge of the conditions of this State and its needs. He appealed to the citizens of San Francisco to send an exhibit to St. Louis that would fittingly represent its progress, and the growth of the queen city of the Pacific Coast. In part he said: of What can San Francisco show? we capable of showing to the world? first place, and progre: hat are In the We can show a condition of growth and_progress almost unparalleled by any eity in_the United States What sball we exhibit? the most important matter is, we must exhibit our harbor. You must have a harbor in order to have a great commercial history, and we bave undoubtedly the best harbor in the world. What we want is to demonstrate that the pres- ent frontage {8 not equal to the present de- mands of commerce—and not °equal to the future. There is plenty harborage here for a city of five millions of people. That fact must be deinonstrated, and it can be demonstrated by a relief map, but in order to make that map interesting you must show Tamalpats, with its scenic beauty: Mount Diablo, the State Uni- versity, the Lick Obeervatory. one of the prop- erties ¢f that university: the Stanford Univer- sity and if possible také in the 3800 acres of magnificent forest which the State now owns and now known as the Big Basin Park.

The next thing that will be necessary is (o represent the street transportation of this city, and next is to represent the scclal life and religlous opportunities, the educational advan- tages it possesses, and with its two univer- sities 40 close to San Francisco we can show that. A QUOTES THE PRESIDENT. Heaven has not lighted a great city here for itself, but for the benefit of those upon whom that light will shine, and one of the greatest expositions of this principle that has been made in modern times 15 found in President Roosevelt's message published this morning, when he declares that the people who claim to own the fsthmus have in their charge that | Which is a trust and cannot be reduced in pri- vate ownership; and he declares that whereas the Panama canal is to.be built, then by the eternal gods it ehall be built and the United States shall build it. Mr. McNaught has sald we have exploited our fruits and products. San Francisco can exhibit_all the products of California because here they have thelr commercial expression. A grat city is the exponent of its district. Without a great city a great commonwealth cannot live. Here s the greatest opportunity San Fran- clsco has ever had. St. Louls is nearer in miles to_the Pacific. Coast than any Joint at which a World's Fair has been held. The people who will go to St. Louls will be so near the Pacific Coast that vast numbers will be in- duced to come to San Francisco. They might as well come on and visit the Pacific . % Here is the opportunity to attgact visitore that are looking over the world to expand their minds.

CELEBRATES GREAT EVENT. J. A. Filcher, fornia to the Xt speaker. commissioner of Cali- World's Fair, was the His speech in part was as follows: In all times, so, far as we are advised, man- kind has been dccustomed, in one fofm or another, to brate great events. Pursuant to this custom it is very natural that ’the United tes should celébrae the acquisi- tion of one of its most .important pleces of territory | In 1803 the so-called Loulsiana Territory, 1ying on the American continent and exténd- | ing from the Guif of Mexico to the .British P esslons on the north and from the Mis- ppi Rlver to tha summit of the Rocky Mountaine on the west. was purchased from France by the United States Government, the negotiaticns on the part of President Jeffer- son being ucted by his Minister to France, Robert R. Livingston and on the part of Napoleon Bonaparte, then First Consful of the republic of Frarice, by his Minister, Fran- cofs Barbe-Marbois, The suni paid for this Territory was $15,000,- 000, United States money. * The importance of this acquisition though great at the time, was not realized. It gave the United States control of the Mississippl River system and extended fts title over a territory greater tham the original area of the country. Out of this vast domain fourteen States and Ter- ritories have since been carved—Louisiana, Arkansas, Missouri, Towa, Minnesota. Okla- homa, Indjan Territory. Kansas Nebraska, South Dakota. North Dakota, Colorado, Wy- oming and Montana. At the suggestion of the French Minister the boundaries on the west were left undefined, and immediately after the purchase the Lewis and Ciark ex- pedition siarted from St. Louls and cxplored the Northwest to the Pacific. #0 as to sup- port the title by right of discovery and oc- cupation. Thue the Louisiana purchase made possible a, country under one government reaching from the Atiantic to the Pacific and estab- Ilished the prestige of the United States on the North American continent It was in the Congresses of the trans-Missis- sippi States that the question of .celebrating this purch: was first suggested. After re- peated agitation a convention finally assembled in St. Louis on the 10th of January, 1899, com- prised of ninety-three delegates, appointed by the Governors of the respective States and Ter- ritorfes of the purchase~ This convention ap- pointed an_executive committee, with the Hon. David R. France. ex-Governor of Missouri, as chairman. They deciled on celebrating the event by a great world's exposition and settled on St. Louls, the most Important city within the limits of the purchase, as the place for holding the same. They prepared a plan for raleing the money to build the buildings and defray the general expenses of the undertaking. They fixed the amount at $15,000,000, the same as had been paid to France for the Loul Territory. One-third of this was to be raised by private subseription, one<third by the city of St. Louis. and one-third was to be asked from the Geéneral Government. Early in the year 1901 the private subscription was com- pleted. Soon afterwards St. Louis. authorized the issuance of $5,000.000 of municipal bonds. In March of the same year the Senate finally passed the House bill appropriating $5,000,000 by the General Government. This action es tablished the success of the stupendous under- taking, A proclamation was issued by, Fresi. dent McKinley inviting the nations of the world to participate. This was dieseminaged through our country's representatives at for- eign courts, and up to this time it is gratity- ing to state that about fitty forelgn countries have signified their intention to take part in this warld's congress. EXPOSITION'S EXTENT. | The ground sélected comprized the west half of Forest Park and includes between 1200 and 1300 acres. Fifteen large buildings have been erected by the jon authorities for the installation of the exhbis, which, in their en- tirety, will embrace nearly all ‘nations and every worthy effort of man as showing progress in intellectual pursuits and Industrial develop- ment. These fifteen buildings in the aggregate cover 128 acres of - floor and thefr im- thai truth that what fs | can raise fruit? The demonstration that you ‘m rmfi%‘mfi”u mensity can be appreciated when it is known ‘that the total acreage covered by the floors of fhe Columblan Mcposition, held ‘ten_years ago in Chicago, cove only 82 acres. The largest building is that intended to house the displays of agriculture, this building being 500 feet .d. by 1600 feet long, or nearly as wide as two | blocks and as long as five blocks of that por- tion of the city north of Market street.

MAYOR SCHMITZ SPEAKS. ‘When Comimissioner Filcher had concluded his very able speech, and the applause had subsided, President Symmes announced the presence of the Mayor .and there were cries from all parts of the hall for the popular chief executive. The Mayor was unpre- pared, but as usual made an excellent speech. He spoke as follows: Chairman and bers of the Merchants' Assoclation: Not Ing on the me for an address, T thought this eventng that 1 wourd have the pieasure of being a listener, as it is so seldom that I have that opportunity. 1 have heard some very magnificent speeches to-night and 1 have been taught a great deal. I be- lHeve each and every ome of you, by the re- marks that have been made to-night, realize that it is your duty as citizens to have an ex- hibit at St. Louls that will be commensurate with the standing and size of a city like San Prancisco. un 4 5 Last Monday I called the attention of the is no reason in the world why we who stand here at the open gate to the Orient and see the B00ds that are used In that country come from the East. We can make themr in this eity and they should be shipped to the ports to which they are intended. ‘When the applause had concluded, President Symmes - announced that there would be:. no further speeches and that the evening's programme was at an end. The success of the annual banquet was attested by the burst of enthusiasm displayed by the mentbers and guests as they filed out. The va- rigus speakers were congratulated for their able addresses and the merchants agreed that it was one of the most successful affairs of its kind ever held by the Merchants' Aseociation.
