This has been Realization Day for San Fran cisco. Culminating two year's hercu lean labor, the opening of the Panama Pacific International Exposition "On time" gave to the populace as well as of the whole state, a satisfaction that would not have been possible through any other medium. This long looked for opening started last night with a typical San Francisco street celebra tion throughout the city, and many of the celebrants had not gotten to bed before the bells and whistles of the city and bay were blatantly announc ing that the all important day had dawned, and reminding everyone that It was time to be up and doing and ready to "get in line" for the grand march to the fair grounds. After the exercises there was a con stant stream of visitors at the Oregon building, who were warmly greeted by J the official hostess, Mrs. Thomas G. HaJley, Commissioner O. M. Clark and Secretary George Hyland of the Oregon commission. Tomorrow Ore gon will have the distinction of being first in the state line to hold a cele bration, several hundred guests being prepared to lunch at the big log palace. George Hyland will act as host, Mr. Staley will exhibit views of the Columbia Highway and other por tions of the state; Commissioner L. C. Brown of the Washington commis sion will serve Yakima apples just to show OregonUnis wliat his state can do in that line; and Charles Loesch. president of the California Baking company, lias volunteered to donate a feast of cake, just because he admires the Oresron spirit. "I like people who I do things," said Mr. Loesch, and the Oregonians have promised to let him see and admire them "cat things." Commissioner I. O. Lively, who will officiate as toas iraaster at the 1915 Get Together supper dance at the InFide Inn n--.t Saturday night. has secured as speakers. the following chiefs or uepartmenjjohn E.
