pr PAGE TWELVE THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG, TUESDAY, JUNE 22, 1915. EE ---- _ EXHIBIT BY CANADA AT THE BIG PANAMA-PACIVFIO | INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION | This Country Spent $600,000 On Its Exhibit, and Has Wonderfully Im- pressed Millions Of Visitors. By Fred J. Claxton. San 'Francisco, Cal, June 16.-- Under the capable administration of Col. Hutchinson and his able corps of assistants, Canada has, at an expenditure of about six hundred thousand dollars, made a wonderful impression on the millions of visit- ors to the exposition, It was my privilege to be present on "San Mateo County 8chool Children's Day." There were ten thousand children there of all ages, from kindergarten to high school, and the enthusiastic way those youngsters took in Can- ada's Exhibit, passing from court to court and expressing themselves au- dibly, showed me what a good adver- tisement it was. No amount of his- tory and geography could have put into their young minds what they saw, and as they are to be the men and women of the future. they will know where Canada is and what she produces--and doubtless * some of them will "go North." " The Exposition grounds cover about three miles in length by three «fuarters of a. mile in width, situated on the shore of San Francisco Bay, with an incomparable view of island and mountain and sea, and of all the foreign or state buildings, Canada stands without a peer. Approaching from the south front as 1 did, one passes over a stretch of well kept green lawn with shrubs of many kinds, !A large red flag with the word "Canada" flys from the cen- ter flag pole, while British flags al- ternate with the Stars and Stripes on the corner poles. Over the entrance are the Arms of Canada and on eith- er side and at the head of a very im- posing flight of steps, are two magni- ficent Lions. Thirty six artistic col- umns are in view on this front, while the sides and wings are a continuous row of columns, the whole forming a building of the most chaste architec- ture. Passing under the majestic entrance one's eyes are arrested by the word "Salve." The interior is divided into three long courts or corridors, The center or main corridor being filled with cases of minerals, nickel, tale, mica, iron, gold, silver, copper, etc,. etc., while above them are the most beau- titul {llustrations of scenes in eastern and western Canada. These illus- trations are done entirely in grains and grasses, and are works of art. Above these again is the decorative scheme done on a red ground with miles of sizal rope draped in artistic fashion with bells of same materials suspended every few feet, Shields with groups of flags of 'all nations are placed at intervals on the walls and the whole. lighted from above, gives one the idea of "something en- tirely different." , The outer corri- dors are formed by a continuation of panoramic views, the background painted on canvas while the fore- ground is an exact reproduction of the scene desired to be shown, rocks, streams, trees, lakes, so natural, that as I overheard a lady say 'one can- not tell where the rocks end and the! painting begins." Above these pan- oramic scenes are transparancies, painted on glass and illustrating principally the farm life and opera- tions throughout the country, while on the opposite walls are cases of fish, birds and products from all over the country. Canada's Asbestos, The first item that caught my eye on entering was an exhibit of asbes- tos and the information 'Canada pro- duces eighty-five per cent. of the world's asbestos." Then a large case contalnin splendid speciment of coal from Nanaimo, Fernie and Merritt, B.C., Bankhead, Alta., and Picton, N.8.

The bolero is made by first closing the under-arm and shoulder seams as notched, after which the collar is faced and attached to the neck edge. The front is gathered near the lower edge of small "o" perforations, after which a tape is stitched under the gathers to make them secure. After joining the skirt gores as notched close back seam from large "0O" perforation to lower edge, finish edges above for opening. Gather up- per edge between double "TT" pér- forations.

Price, camp, has a3 worthy exhibit, Probably the most popular panor- ama is the one showing the pulp wood industry. There are several live Beaver swimming around in the pond made by their dam, the logs strewn about the rocky shore, with a background showing a long vista of river and trees, is very evidently '"'en Quebec" one learns that there are 85 mills with $40,000,000 invested in the in- dustry, British; Columbia hus a panorama that maketh glad the heart of the sportsman--a lake inthe foreground with trout swimming about in it. Heron and other wild fowl, stand naturally on the rocky banks, while an enormous Bear is just emerging from the timber. Here again the stuffed animals and birds are most realistically placed. From a mass of information proffered, IL gathered that B. C., has 2,500 miles of rail- way in operation, 2,304 under con- struction, 15,000,000 acres of stand- ing timber; 20 million acres of wheat land, and 5,000,000 acres of fruit land. Another attractive scene 'depicts two wood Buffalo from the Peace River District where they live upon the prairies grasses which grow on tho banks of the Peace River, 1,000 miles north of the U. 8. line. Stuffed Buffalo and Elk are shown where range cattle and wheat now are grown. The production of wheat in 1913 was $156,462,000; the pro- duction of barley in 1913 was $20, 144,000. The population of Can- ada in 1914 is placed at 7,758,000; railway earnings in 1914, $256,702, 703; railway mileage 29,304, Panoramic Canadian View There is a grand panoramic view of Canada from the Atlantic to the Pacifie, showing principal cities, and emphasizing the water power sites. Of these there are models of Halifax Power Company, Grand Falls, St. John River; Shawnigan Water & Power Company, Cedar Rapids Pow- er Company, Eugenia Falls Develop- ment Company, Abitibi Power & Pa- per Company, Kamistiquia Power I] Company, Point du Bois (Winnipeg) Calgary Power Company, Stave Falls, B. C,, Vancouver Power Company, Coquitlam Plant, All of these mo- dels show Penstocks, Power Houses, Dams, ete., and around the walls of this section are many very fine pho- tographs of water falls and power sites, all wonderfully illuminating upon the Power resources of Canada. Another scene that attracts great attention is of Port Arthur, with a stretch of minature railroad track and elevators alongside. Two trains of grain cars are in continuous mo- tion and when they arrive opposite an elevator, the train stops, a chute is lowered and the grain is supposed to be pouring into the car. When full, the train moves along for the next car to come under the chute, and 80 on until the train is filled, then off it goes, disappears in a tun- nel, another comes out of somewhere and the process proceeds.' In one wing there are excellént life sized pointings of King George and Queen Mary. The late King Edward and the Queen Mother, T.R. H., The Duke and Duchess of Con- naught, Sir John A. Macdonald, Lord Strathcona, Sir Robert Borden, and Sir Wilfrid Laurier, and they attract no end of attention in this Democratic country. Probably the most beautiful scene of all, is that of the apple industry,--a background of orchards, with apples in barrels and piled on the ground. These lat- ter are so beautifully merged .with the painted ones that it is only after close inspection tliat one is able to decide where the real begins and the painted end. The foreground is grass, with baskets of apples lavish- ly spread about. The legend "'Sun- Kist Oranges in California, and Frost and Snow Kist Apples in Canada." is a very clever adaptation of the world wide advertised "'Sun-Kist Oranges." 'Vancouver Harbor is shown with miniature steamers sailing back and forth, while Dawson City is depicted under the midnight sun by vividly realistic electrical effects, the Yukon River wending its way placidly at its feet with the rocky shores opposite. No one can pass through the Can- ada Building without being greatly impressed with 'its beatuy and the practical methods adopted to show its resources, and the etomiums heard on all sides testify to these salient facts.
