Introduction
At the suggestion of the President of the California Pio-
neers of Santa Clara County, that Society asked the Direc-
tors of the Panama-Pacific International Exposition to set
aside a day to be known as "Pioneer and Old Settlers'
Day", which they did, and the Pioneer Society authorized
its President to appoint a Committee and proceed to make
arrangements to properly celebrate that day. The 16th of
October was selected as the time, and after two months
hard and earnest work, there was gathered together Pio-
neers and Old Settlers from practically every County in the
State.
The weather was ideal, made especially for the occasion.
The people gathered at the Scott street entrance at 10:30
a. m., where the official photographer took a large picture
of those present, a reproduction of which we publish in this
book. The Pioneers and Old Settlers were met by the Expo-
sition officials and band and escorted to the California
Building, where the exercises of the day took place.
Hundreds of Pioneers who had not seen each other for
years met again this day. All during the ceremonies in the
California Building gray heads bobbed this way and that
and necks were craned, then a happy smile would spread
over the face of some man or woman as a friend of the
years that are gone would be discovered. Scattered through
the audience could be seen the bonnets and shawls which
had been worn in the early days of the State. Some of them
had cost as much as $500 in California gold.
The attendance far exceeded the fondest anticipation of
those who worked so hard to make this a day of days.
After the exercises the Chairman and Secretary received
many compliments for the manner in which everything con-
nected with the gathering was conducted.
The Committee wish to take this opportunity of thanking
the Press of California for valuable assistance, and the fol-
lowing persons who furnished the funds sufficient to make
the day a success: Senator Jas. D. Phelan, Henry Curtner,

THE CALL TO ORDER
Mr. Andrew P. Hill, Secretary of the California Pioneers of Santa
Clara County, and an earnest worker in all Pioneer matters, called
the meeting to order. Mr. Hill is one of the Pioneer Landscape and
Portrait Painters of California, whose painting-, "Crossing the Plains,"
hanging in the California Building, is pronounced by judges to be
the finest animal painting at the Exposition. A photo of the picture
appears in this Book.
E have with us today the pioneeers from
every county of California, probably the
largest assemblage of early Californians
that has ever been brought together in
this State. I will not touch upon the
deeds of the pioneers, because there are
more able speakers who will follow me
with the requisite data, covering them with that glory which
they are entitled to. Among those pioneers who came to Cal-
ifornia there is one with whom I have been intimately associ-
ated for more than forty years, and I am familiar with his
enthusiasm in the interest that he has taken in the California
pioneer. For more than twenty years this man published
"The Pioneer" of California, I refer to my co-worker and
associate, Alexander P. Murgotten, President of the Califor-
nia Pioneers of Santa Clara county, and Chairman of the
Pioneer and Old Settlers' Day, one who more than any other
has taken an interest in bringing together this vast assem-
blage for today's celebration.
Ladies and gentlemen, there is a great deal about the
pioneers that I would like to say to you, but they won't let
me, I would like to tell you how James Lick, and others
of the big pioneers, came from San Jose, where they made
their money, but they won't let me. As there are many to
appear before you today, I will simply introduce to you the
President of the day, Alexander P, Murgotten of Santa
Clara county.

Mr. Secretary, Ladies and Gentlemen, Pioneers and Old
Settlers and Friends: Of course I am not on the program
for a speech. I am here simply as an introducer. As the
secretary has said, I, too, could tell many stories of the pio-
neers, as I was their historian for twenty years or more. I
could tell you about Mr. and Mrs. Stanford, who endowed
one of the finest colleges in the world. I could tell you of
James Lick, with whom I was very intimate, and there are
very many others that I could tell you about. I could tell
you about the railroad pioneers, the five men whose brains
conceived and carried out the building of Central Pacific
Railroad across the Sierras and the deserts. We have on
the stage today a man who was the assistant of Mr. Stan-
ford for many years. He is not on the program to talk, but
I thought I should tell you that he is here, and that he
handled a great deal of the business of that road. In fact,
he had as high as three hundred steamships on the seas at
one time, loaded with coal for the road. This man is the
Hon. Stephen T. Gage. Many other interesting people are
here today and other things could be told of the boys and
girls, time permitting.
I want to thank you on behalf of myself and my society.
We have all worked hard to make this gathering the suc-
cess it is, and we feel highly honored that you are here to
help us and listen to talks on the early days. The first thing
on the program will be a song, "I Love You, California,"
sung by Miss Clare Hester Harrington, the granddaughter
of Judge Hester of San Jose, a forty-niner whom many of
you knew, one of the first jurists of San Jose. I regret that
I have to say so much of San Jose, but it happens to be the
center of the universe, and I cannot help noticing it.

Sung by
Miss Clare Hester Harrington
of San Francisco
I love you California, you're the greatest state of all.
I love you in the winter, summer, spring and iji the fall.
I love your fertile valleys, your dear mountains I adore.
I love your grand old ocean and I love her rugged shore.
CHORUS:
Where the snow crowned Golden Sierras
Keep their watch o'er the valleys bloom,
It is there I would be in our land by the sea,
Every breeze bearing rich perfume.
It is here nature gives of her rarest.
It is the Home Sweet Home to me.
And I know when I die, I shall breathe my last sigh.
For ray sunny California.
I love your redwood forests, love your fields of yellow grain.
I love your summer breezes and I love your winter rain.
I love you, land of flowers ; land of honey, fruit and wine.
I love you, California, you have won this heart of mine.
T love your old gray Missions, love your vineyards stretch-
ing far.
I love you, California, with your Golden Gate ajar.
I love your purple sunsets, love your skies of azure blue.
I love you, California, I just can't help loving you.
I love you, Catalina, you are very dear to me.
I love you, Tamalpais, and I love Yosemite.
I love you. Land of Sunshine, half your beauties are untold.
I loved you in my childhood, and I'll love you when I'm old.

ADDRESS
Chairman: It certainly gives me great pleasure to present to you
the man whose brains and ability, executive, social and otherwise,
has brought this great Exposition to a head and made it the wonder
of the world. No one has yet been found who has had the courage
to question its greatness. It is indeed an honor to introduce to you
the man of men, Hon. Chas. C. Moore, President of the Exposition.
ELLOW Pioneers, in spirit and in fact:
Some way, looking this audience over, I
see few who appear to me to have any-
thing but the pioneer brand on them, I
hope that some are brought here from
curiosity, that they may feel and touch
the California spirit. But those of us
who come here, come for the love of California, and the love
of the pioneer accomplishments.
The chairman said that I had much to do with what has
been brought about. Well, I don't know that I am in the
business of denying any such statement, but in truth, why
we were simply, I and my associates, the pawns of oppor-
tunity. It is that pioneer spirit of California that pro-
duced this Exposition. We were simply the humble instru-
ments of those qualities in you that bring you here this
morning to burn incense on the altar of the pioneer spirit,
those qualities in you and your kind, responsible for the
state's arising as one and saying this Exposition must be,
it shall be — and it was.
I have attended many, many gatherings of this kind
since the Exposition opened, and my associate. State Com-
missioner Arlett has also been to very, very many. We
don't go to all by a very great deal, that make demands
on us. But I want to ask you if you think it possible to
have kept Mr. Arlett and me away from this meeting this
morning. I would not have been right in my heart
Vage Twenty-one
PIONEER AND OLD SETTLERS* DAY SOUVENIR
and my mind if I should have permitted anything
arising whereby I would have failed to come forward at
this opportunity to make some little tribute to the spirit
that we all love, and the accomplishments that are our
pride, and to the men and women that are enthroned in
our affections. I have possibly a little extra reason, because
this badge of the Pioneers and Old Settlers is worn by right.
My good old father, as a boy of nineteen, left Boston in a
little boat, so small that today I would scarcely like to ven-
ture out the Heads in it, and was nine months through the
Straits of Magellan, leaving in the winter of '48- '49. And
his part of that triumph is to me one of the glories of this
state, to me one of my cherished ideals. And that is what
brings us here this morning. For we all know what the
pioneer has done. We all know the conditions under which
the old settlers operated. We know that the accomplish-
ments that have been done by that splendid, selected body
of men cannot be increased or enlarged by words, but, just
the same, words or no words, we like to come and touch the
spirit of it all. And that is what brings me and brings you.
I can not attempt to describe my feelings in words, any
more than any of you can. But it has builded that struc-
ture of sentiment, built on the foundation of respect, of
pride, and the further feeling that we are custodians of
those qualities that made the state, and we should cherish
them continually for the greatness and the goodness and
the might of California.
I shall now, in line with the procedure adopted by the
Exposition, present this commemorative medal. We have
gathered; we disperse. The Exposition wants something
to be a reminder for all time of this day, this event, and
the purpose that brings us here. And, therefore, I will give
to the presiding officer this commemorative medal. There
are few words on it, but, good friends, it is rich with sen-
timent, it is strong with affection, yours and mine. Mr.
Chairman, please take it and preserve it.

RESPONSE
Chairman: I will call on a gentleman, who is eloquent in words,
poetic in thought and now one of the Judges of the Appellate Court
of this State, Judge John E. Richards, who will respond on behalf
of the California Pioneers of Santa Clara County.
R. Chairman, Mr. President of the Expo-
sition, Fellow Pioneers and Friends :
I have been selected to receive from
the officials of the Panama-Pacific In-
ternational Exposition this simple sym-
bol in the spirit and sentiment in which
it has been presented. And that we
may fully realize what that spirit and sentiment is, I will
recall to your minds an episode of the opening day of this
great Exposition. The Secretary of the Interior of the
United States, an adopted son of California of whose
achievements and standing we are very proud, in making
one of the addresses of the day, referred to the fact that to
his mind the most eloquent, the most impressive figure
among all the symbols and statuary of this vast and varied
display was yonder equestrian statue of the Pioneer; and
that to his mind that work of genius fittingly represented
the sublime courage and unconquerable will of the California
Pioneer, to which this Exposition owed its origin, and is
indebted for its success.
This symbol, presented in eloquent words by the Presi-
dent of the Exposition, is today an official recognition of
the fact that all that has been here achieved in the way of
artistic and material display is, after all, only the con-
summate flower, the perfected fruit of that prophetic vision,
that dauntless will and that indomitable spirit which moved
Page Twenty-five
PIONEER AND OLD SETTLERS* DAY SOUVENIR
the California Pioneer. It is because of that fact that this
symbol, comparatively valueless in itself, becomes a repre-
sentative of, an idea of great and increasing value in the his-
tory of our beloved state. The Pioneers of California, I as-
sure you, will treasure this symbol among their possessions
so long as a single member of their original body remains;
so long, in fact, as the history of this Exposition and of this
day of happy reunions is written in golden and imperish-
able words.

CALIFORNIA AND THE PIONEERS
Chairman: Among- the brilliant as well as eloquent speakers of
California, none stands hig^her or speaks more eloquently when it
comes to talking of the olden times than the next speaker. I have
the extreme pleasure of presenting to you Hon. Arthur Arlett, Com-
missioner of the State of California at the Exposition, who will
address you on "'California and the Pioneers."
R. Chairman, Mothers and Fathers in
Israel, and Brethren All : You know that
there are times and circumstances, there
are personal contacts and experiences,
that make one appreciate to the fullest
how poverty-stricken phrases are; how
absolutely impotent speech becomes. And
as I have sat on the platform this morning, surrounded by
these noble men and women and friends, you who have
meant so much in the making of the commonwealth, I have
been impressed by the fact that there are emotions and
sentiments that crowd so hard for expression that they
really break through language and escape. And I say, if I
shall be inadequate, as 1 must, to the suggested topic, will
you bear with me as I remind you that those sentiments
and feelings which most deeply stir, that live most inti-
mately with the spirit, seek not the phrase or the speech,
but rather the communion of spirit with spirit.
Suggestion and reference has already been made to that
which has animated this great Exposition. How we rejoice
in the sentiment which we have not yet been able to gather
into words, not even in such rich expression as that of the
wonderful speech of Lane, on opening day. And I have
been wondering since, just what we mean, we Californians,
as we speak of the Spirit of the Pioneer. What is that
Page Twenty)- nine
PIONEER AND OLD SETTLERS* DAY SOUVENIR
quality of sonl that made you men and women the type of
forbears that you are, and that has left to us younger men
and women the challenge of a great state's commanding
opportunity.
May I suggest — and for more reasons than one I will
make it brief — two or three things that link your lives and
ours in God's great plan for this, our loved state?
First, it would seem to me that those of us who in spirit
and in truth are entering into the legacy of the years, must
remember and appreciate that those men and vromen who
dared the fastness of this remote country, this new and
unknown territory, were possessed of a challenging cour-
age. I do not stop to enlarge on the thought that I bring to
you, but leave it for your consideration. For is there not
needed today, just as much as in those days when you men
first determined to front the Golden West, that quality of
the pioneer that said, "Come what may, we shall go for-
ward with every courage and high spirit." Is there not
here in the state today great unsolved questions? Is there
not here in our gathering complexities of social existence
such as challenge that same spirit that made your own lives
memorable, that challenge us to bring anew that same life
and determination to meet these same problems? We shall
win for California that place in the economy of God that
she deserves and must have, if we are possessed of the same
courage which you men and women have exampled for us.
May I suggest, in the second place, that that wonderful
spirit of fellowship, that appreciation of real values and
not extraneous conditions that so marked conditions in
those early days must be revived and brought back, if we
enter into possession of the land, as our fathers desired we
should? Second, then, I should name as the element that
goes to make that pioneer spirit, essential democracy. You
knew each other then. Rough clad, strong limbed, without
appreciation or knowledge, perhaps, of former conditions
of parenthood, you labeled and measured men by standards
of real worth, with no fictitious measuring rods. You sought
to know the quality of spirit, the essential worth of man-
Page Thirty
PIONEER AND OLD SETTLERS* DAY SOUVENIR
hood. God give us grace to know today that money, that
possessions, that place in society, shall not name the value
of a man, and that there shall come to us the understanding
ihat manhood is an attitude of spirit, an aspiration of the
soul, and he succeeds in the sight of the Most High who
strives for his highest ideals. And whether or no the clear-
ing house shall rate him high or low, whether or not the
assessor's books shall find him large in possessions, shall we
not want to know first, how does he react on these social
questions of the day? And how does he view life— as a
getting proposition or a giving opportunity? Shall we not
come to your point of view again with renewed consecra
tion, to the appreciation that your spirit judged first of all
the man. "A man's a man for a' that."
And third— and you see I am brief, for I know the feast
of good things that follows — you men and women who came
here without the dress-up of much of so-called civilization,
without many of the extraneous things that help at times,
that so often and frequently seem to warp and change our
vision, you men and women have taught us, if you have
taught us nothing else, that doAvn at the bottom, down
where foundations are really laid that shall abide and re-
main eternal, is the fundamental appreciation that the
things of the spirit shall live. So I say, in the presence of
tills great Exposition that in another forty-nine days closes
its doors and in a few months, save here and there a cher-
ished relic, shall be nothing but a memory, 1 say to you that
this Exposition represents probably a better example of the
pioneer spirit in its real expression than anything that has
come to my notice. If the building of these buildings, the
laying out of these grounds, and the conventions of all the
peoples of the world were all that there is to it, then the
expenditure of personality and finance would hardly be
worth while. But behind it, shot through and through,
there is a spirit, something not made of hands, that we be-
lieve is eternal in the heavens. But we are learning, oh too
slowly, the lessons that you tried to teach that, after all,
those things that make for love and devotion, reverence
Page Thirtv-one
PIONEER AND OLD SETTLERS* DAY SOUVENIR
and pariotism, are not possible of weighing or measuring,
that these fundamental traditions of the spirit will abide.
And to you men and to you women in whose presence I
feel as though I am in holy place, on sacred ground; to you,
as representing in myself your children, may we on this
day, your day, pledge to you and offer in consecration
whatever of earnest, of devotion, of ability, we have for the
making here and now of that dream of yours that our state
shall see continually a growing and a better civilization of
brotherly men, because we have caught your vision and
have seen your dream.

UR Pioneer fathers are entitled to honor
for their vision, their courage and their
enterprise. They saw the future Cali-

the dangers of the trail or the perils of
the sea, to reach the haven of their
dreams. With courage they met every
obstacle, and on the foundations of their faith, their enter-

to decide was to act. ^ 'lO'^C'or:^

no prouder privilege than to be a Californian, and by such
a test, we can measure fittingly our debt of gratitude to the
Pioneers. Theirs is the glory; ours the guerdon. Let us
possess It in humbleness, but not be silent in praise

James P. Taylor
President
The Society of California Pioneers
ADDRESS
Chairman: "The Society of California Pioneers" has always held
an honored place in all matters relative to California and its history.
It is richly endowed in money and brilliant men, among whom is its
honored President, who will now address you, Mr. Jairies P. Taylor,
a worthy pioneer of '49.
HAVE been asked to speak to you about
"The Society of California Pioneers."
In doing so I cannot do better than to
quote from an address made by Willard
B. Farwell, President of this Society in
1864. "On the 23d day of August, 1850,
when the news of the death of President
Taylor was brought to San Francisco by the steamer Cali-
fornia, it was suggested by some of the earliest settlers that
they meet on the day of ceremonial obsequies and march in
procession. A call was made to the old residents to meet
and organize for that purpose, which, being responded to
so generally, the Pioneers of that date became a conspicuous
feature. Subsequently a notice was published in news-
pap(u\s August 30. 1850, requesting all old Pioneers and resi-
dents of over three years to be present at a meeting Satur-
day evening, August 31st, at the office of Howard & IMellus,
in Iron Warehouse on Montgomery street.
At this meeting preliminary organization of "The Society
of California Pioneers" was effected and at subsequent
meetings a Constitution and By-laws were adopted. The
first President was Wm. D. M. Howard. Vice Presidents,
Jacob R, Snyder. Samuel Brannan & Geo. Prank Lemon.
Recording Secretary, Joseph L. Folsom. Corresponding
Secretary, Edwin Bryant.
The tirst article of our Constitution states that our object
is designed to be a moral, benevolent, literary and scientific
Association, to cultivate social intercourse, create a fund
Page Thirty-nine
PIONEER AND OLD SETTLERS' DAY SOUVENIR
for charitable purposes, to collect and preserve information
connected with the early settlement and subsequent history
of the country, and in all appropriate matters to perpetuate
the memory of those whose sagacity, energy and enterprise
induced them to settle in the wilderness and become the
founders of a new State.
The members have ever been the most prominent and
influential in the State, and as such have assisted very
greatly in the development and upbuilding of this city and
State. Our members have been foremost in all that per-
tained to its progress and prosperity.
The early settlers of this State endured many hardships
and suffered many privations in order to reach this land of
promise and not all of them succeeded, for here and there
on the old roads and trails the wooden Cross or Cairn
record where some weary wanderer laid him down
to rest. Some of us remember the early struggles and the
difficulties which had to be overcome. Looking back over
6G years that are past and recognizing the tremendous
progress that this City has made and the wonderful energy,
spirit of enterprise and courage that has at all times pre-
vailed and that would not falter or hesitate even when vis-
ited with the appalling calamity of fire in 1906, does it not
make your hearts thrill with admiration that such a City
has been rebuilt so much finer and more substantial than it
ever was before? Let our hearts rejoice and our tongues
express our thankfulness to the Supreme Ruler of the Uni-
verse for our great success.
Let your thoughts go back with me to tliose days when
the Bay of San Francisco was full of sailing ships, hun-
dreds of them abandoned and useless for the time being,
the sailors having all left for the diggings. Look now at
our long and well constructed concrete wharves. Our mag-
nificent steamers of large carrying capacity, some built
here, and think of the business that must be transacted to
enable them to make regular trips, and let us regret the
action of our Congress which has resulted in driving from
Page Forty
PIONEER AND OLD SETTLERS' DAY SOUVENIR
the Pacific Ocean such fine steamers and such excellent
service as the Pacific Mail S. S. Co was maintaining.
One of our memhers, James Lick, was born in Fredericks-
burgh, Penn., August 25, 1796. His father taught him to be
a competent wood worker and cabinet maker, and he after-
wards made a fortune in manufacturing furniture and
pianos.
He was very favorably impressed with the work and
objects of our Society. In 1860 he gave us a lot on the
corner of Montgomery and Gold streets. There the first
Pioneer Hall was erected in 1862 and there Ave met regu-
larly for 20 years. In 1873 Mr. Lick was elected President
of this Society and continued in office until 1876. in 1873
he gave us a lot on Fourth street near Market, upon which
New Pioneer Hall was built in 1884 and 5. In his will he
made this Society one of the residuary legatees and thus
provided for and assured its continuance.
Through his thoughtfulness and benevolence we have
been and are enabled to carry on the work for which we
were organized. The Pioneers particularly, but also the
citizens of San Francisco and the State should ever remem-
ber with a deep sense of gratitude the debt we owe to James
Lick, the man who provided so generously for so many
worthy charities and for scientific research.
Lest we forget, let me read you part of his will, showing
how carefully and with his whole heart and soul he had
thought out the further use of his money for the benefit of
humanity:

Look around these grounds and try to realize the great
change that has taken place since this location was a piece
of marsh and tide land. Here in the most artistic and beau-
tiful Exposition the world has ever seen we are privileged
to meet and proclaim our thankfulness and pride in the
splendid display that is being made. Let us give all honor
and praise to those men, who, despite much discouragement
and many, very many obstacles to overcome, have succeeded
even beyond their expectations.
I extend an invitation to one and all of you who wish
to do so to visit Pioneer Hall and view the life size portraits
in oil of some of the men who made history in California.
James Lick, the philanthropist. Col. J. A. Sutter, the man
whose liberal hospitality was proverbial throughout ('ali-
fornia, James W. Marshall, he who discovered gold, Thos.
0. Larkin, Gen. John C. Fremont, the Pathfinder who did
much for San Francisco, and Commodore James D. Sloat,
he who first unfurled Old Glory at Monterey; many others
there were, Junipero Serra, Samuel Brannan, Wm. T. Cole-
man, Gen. Vallejo, all contributed their part to the up-
building of this State. Visit us and our historian and li-
brarian, Mr. Henry L. Byrne, will be pleased to answer

Hon. James Rolph, Jr.
Mayor of San Francisco
WELCOME FROM SAN FRANCISCO
Chairman: Mayor Rolph was on the program for an address,
"Welcome from San Francisco," but was prevented by previous offi-
cial engagements from being present on time. Mr. Rolph was keenly
disappointed and sends us the following expression of his regard for
the Pioneers and Old Settlers.
OTHING would have given me greater
pleasure nor higher honor than to have
stood before the Pioneers and Old Set-
tlers of California and expressed to them
San Francisco's welcome. Circum-
stances forbade, however, but I am
thankful of this opportunity to express
the sentiments which were in my heart on that day, and
which 1 have always felt toward the men and women whose
indomitable courage and initiative laid the foundations of
California position and prosperity.
San Francisco can never forget her debt of gratitude to
you, the Old Settlers and Pioneers. The spirit of the City
today is the heritage of those stirring times when the Argo-
naut braved the rounding of "The Horn", and the plains-
man blazed a trail across mountains and desert in his * ' Prai-
rie Schooner". Each period in our romantic history is
written around the Pioneer. The days of '48, when gold
was discovered in El Dorado County ; the old Steamer days ;
the days of the inception, building and completion of the
transcontinental railroad by the "Big Four", Huntington,
Hopkins, Stanford and Crocker; the bonanza days of the
Comstock era; when the Comstock mines produced $350,-
000,000 worth of bullion in thirty years and millionaires
appeared to spring up overnight.

The Old Settler and Pioneer have been the very backbone
of our advancement and civilization. Upon their sterling
qualities, their foresight and their vision, we have built the
splendid institutions of today. Our cities, our commerce,
our industry, our farms and our firesides, are all the pro-
duct of the pioneer, the results of his fortitude and labor.
To welcome Pioneers and Old Settlers of California to San
Francisco is like welcoming our mothers and fathers to the
old homestead. As Mayor of San Francisco, in behalf of all
her people, I extend this welcome. San Francisco is hon-
ored at 3^our visit. San Francisco respects and reveres her
founders. She feels toward you not alone the deepest friend-
ship, but an affection and gratitude born of your lasting
service to her. At the Exposition there is a monument to
the Pioneer Mother. In front of the City Hall there is
another monument to the Pioneers, but San Francisco herself
is the greatest monument of all to your memory. Our hearts
and our homes are always open to you, Pioneers and Old
Settlers of the West.

ADDRESS
Chairman: It is quite an honor to represent five generations of
Pioneer history of California, besides the honor of being the first
American child born in San Francisco. The father of the lady I am
about to introduce came to California first in 1832. It is with pleas-
ure I present Mrs. Geo. J. Bucknall, who will speak for the "Woman's
Auxilliary of the Society of California Pioneers."
T is with mingled feelings that I find my-
self today, a pioneer in the presence of
pioneers and members of the society that
was founded by them, invested with the
privilege of bidding welcome to our
brothers and sisters from a section of
the State that fairly teems with the ro-
mance of pioneer history.
It is not for me to remind the people of San Jose of the
part their beloved Garden City played in the early history
of California. There is not a man or woman or child within
the limits of our Golden State who does not know that San
Jose was one of its early capitals, that the stars and stripes
once floated from the roof of a capitol building there,
within whose walls were located the administrative offices
and the council chambers where the law-makers of the
State assembled. San Jose, too, is situated in the heart of
the Santa Clara valley, the valley of romance, perhaps,
more than any other in California, made so by the romantic
writers of the West who found ample material for their
pens in the lives of the early Spanish landowners and the
colorful stories of the old world life they lived and of the
bounteous hospitality they extended to all comers. To us
Page Forly-nine
PIONEER AND OLD SETTLERS' DAY SOUVENIR
prrvetical people of the twentieth century the story of the
Sania Clara valley reads like some romance of a world far
beyond tiie seas ; yet that life was lived, and not so long ago
but that here and there a faint trace of it remains. Those
stately Spaniards of the long ago have gone, but they have
left behind them the indescribable flavor of an age that re-
sembles a beautiful picture by some old master, to gaze
npoji which is to become filled with the spirit of reverence.
Officially, I come before you as President of the Women's
Auxiliary of the Society of California Pioneers. I was,
I believe, the first child born of Anglo-Saxon parentage in
San Francisco, for I first saw the light in our city by the
Golden Gate in the year 1845. Naturally there is a certain
sadness mingled with the pride I feel in this unusual dis-
tinction, for my mental vision travels back along a vista of
years, and the highway of my life is dotted with the mile-
stones of memory. But I do take pride in the thought that I
am one of the foundation stones of this great edifice we
have built up on the shores of the Pacific; and I have an
additional interest in welcoming you people of San Jose
here today, for it was to your city that my own dear mother
traveled to be united in wedlock to the man who was my
father. This w^as in 1844, when a protestant clergy was un-
known in this city, and as my mother-to-be was of the pro-
testant faith and San Jose was the nearest place where a
protestant clergyman was to be found, your city became the
scene of that wedding.
So much for the personal in this, my greeting of wel-
come. In the people of the Santa Clara valley the State
of California recognizes a thriving and a prosperous com-
munity, one that has gone ahead with rapid strides and that
is today making the most of every advantage that Nature
has bestowed upon that section of the country.
We welcome the people of San Jose to San Francisco.
They have been loyal supporters of our glorious Exposition
and on a day like this their coming is indeed appropriate.
Tt is my keenest pleasure to extend to you, one and all, a
hearty welcome.

ADDRESS
Chaii-man: No one could have a more inspiring subject than "Our
Pioneer Parents," and our friend Mrs. Helen B. Ladd, President of
the "Pioneer Women," whose mother I knew, as one of the noblest of
women, will speak for our parents.
R. Chairman, Fellow Pioneers and
Friends: I will occupy but a brief space
of time. It is said that "brevity is the
soul of wit." I can insure the brevity
if not the wit. To those of us who viewed
this coast in '46 or '49, or even earlier,
how great the transformation. We recall
the fertile plains, miles in extent, lying as nature in prodigal
profusion had laid them. With antlered herds and fierce wild
bears and all the smaller of the animal kingdom roaming
unmolested in their native haunts. Rugged mountain fast-
ness, tenanted only by scattered Indian bands, who held
their pow wows and round their camp fires enjoyed their
wild incantations knowing no higher civilization, roaring
cataracts, placid rivers and beautiful bays unruffled by
the prow of vessels, with scattered haciendas of Spanish
hidalgos and retinue ; these and these only occupied the
broad expanse of this beautiful country. But with the
coming of a broader civilization what vast changes have
been wrought. The unparalleled trials of the brave, cour-
ageous pioneer fathers and the noble and devoted mothers
who toiled and endured with them paved the way for the
enterprise of those who have followed to reap from the
mighty hills their mineral wealth, to cause the fertile fields
to yield rich harvests of golden grain and countless miles
of fruitful orchards to produce their luscious burdens.
Rivers and bays now float upon their surfaces moving pal-
aces for the comfort and convenience of travelers.
Page Fifty- three
PIONEER AND OLD SETTLERS' DAY SOUVENIR
To those who wended their weary way across the plains,
with slow plodding ox teams, or sailed the hazardous voy-
age around the horn, or crossed the Isthmus on a donkey's
back, realize the change when the same journey may now
be made with all the comforts of a Pullman car in less num-
ber of days than then required months, or may now take the
long ocean voyage and cross the Isthmus through the great
Panama Canal. Advance in science has given to the use of
man for many purposes the incalculable electric force as a
common agent. The arid desert plains through a wisely
devised system of irrigation have become productive fields
yielding rich returns as reward for skillful labor. Mighty
cities have reared proud spires heavenward which we can
remember as only missions or villages. Even Oakland was
but a few small houses among spreading oaks, and our
proud San Francisco a group of tents upon the sand hills
bordering the greatest of bays, land locked and safe where
largest vessels may float in safety in the wildest storms.
Our San Francisco which a few short years since rose
phoenix-like after the fierce shock and fire out of the ashes
of one of the world's greatest conflagrations, has built up
grander than before, a glowing tribute to the enterprise of
those who, undaunted bj^ disaster, rose grandly to the occa-
sion and succeeded and has now invited the world to come
to our shores and our wonderful Exposition, where among
other wonders may be seen daily men who having con-
quered the air, soar proudly as the eagle to lofty heights,
the floral beauties of the grounds delight the eye and arouse
the admiration of the beholder.
To the brains that conceived,
And the hands that achieved
This crowning glory, the City of Jewels
And to him who out of the bayshore and sand dunes has
made Golden Gate Park and this Fair's unequaled adorn-
ment; to him whose name is this day commemorated by a
large assemblage of grateful people to whose munificence
the world owes gratitude for the famous Lick Observatory
telescope we would give due mead of praise. And may we
hope that the same invincible energy which characterized
the Pioneers in overcoming seemingly insurmountable ob-
stacles to progress and which opened to California and this
coast untold opportunities, may be put fortli for the preser-
vation of some of the beauties of this Exposition for the last-
ing benefit of the future.

" WONDERFUL SAN FRANCISCO "
Read by
Mrs. Clara G. Doliver Burtchaell
of Oakland
Risen from ashes ! risen from dust,
From broken walls and mold and rust,
She sits upon her hills today,
Like a new Imperial Rome ;
And smiles upon her wide, blue hay,
'Tis our beloved, our own, our home —
Wonderful San Francisco.
Does the stranger mourn in a distant land,
Is a sister town dismayed?
Is it famine, flood, or some sore strait?
The ever-ready, generous hand,
■The cheering word, the first quick aid,
Comes ever from her by the Golden Gate, —
Wonderful San Francisco.
When she was a babe in swaddling clothes,
And lay in her cradle of sand.
When crime and riot around her rose,
Shame and flame and a convict band,
How strong and sure was the baby hand,
How wise the brain, how swift the blows !
Wonderful San Francisco.
When in the bloom of her gay young life,
She had her hour of sorrow;
When old Earth rocked, and a fiery breath
Struck at her heart like a flaming knife ;
When she reckoned no Tomorrow —
She smiled as she looked in the face of death
Wonderful S<in Francisco.

PIONEER AND OLD SETTLERS' DAY SOUVENIR
A struggle for life, that passed — like a night,
And a dream was hers on the morn ;
A miracle dream of a City of light : —
Her child that was yet unborn ;
Her marvelous child as it was to be,
With tower and palace, court and tree,
On the barren shore of her sunlit sea.
Wonderful San Francisco.
Her hands are out on the hills today,
And she cries to the world "It is done !
From near and far, whoever you are,
All nations under the sun.
The jewels glow, the fountains play;
Come to the Blazing Star;
Ye slaves of Care, ye bonds of War,
Within my flowery gates be free ;
Come, all the world, and be glad with me!"
Wonderful San Francisco.

ADDRESS
Chairman: "The Native Daughteis of the CiOlden West," of
whom any State might feel proud, need no one to spealv for them, as
everybody knows they are exceptionally fine specimens of our Cali-
fornia products, however their honored Grand President, Mrs. Eliza-
beth Grote Hill, will say a few words for them.
HE Order of Native Daughters of the
Gokleii West is composed of women
born within the boundaries of the State
of California. The members are inter-
ested in every movement that makes for
the betterment of our Order, our State
and our country.
One definite object of the organization is to perpetuate in
fond memoi-y tlie glorious deeds of California's early set-
tlers.
Our members are so imbued with the spirit of reverence
for the Pioneer fathers and mothers, that Ave have dedicated
Admission Day as Pioneer Day — the day we celebrate in
loving remembrance the valorous deeds and splendid
achievements of the builders of this wondrous State.
Those brave, energetic and daring Pioneers, by their in-
domitable will and courageous perseverance, prepared this
vast western empire for the honored position that she so
readily and promptly assumed as the brightest star in this
great Union of States.
We fully realize that many wer-e the trials and struggles
of those early day settlers, but the enlightenment and
progress that illuminated their minds and hearts brought
about successful results, laid the foundation of this great
commomvealth and reared for us this magnificent heritage
— our well beloved C^dif'()rnia.

Grand President
Native Son* of the Golden West
ADDRESS
Chairman: I will now call upon the President of one of the great-
est orders in the West. An order though notwithstanding their many
acts of charity and activities in a thousand directions, are finding
time and money with which to publish a complete history of the
State of California. I present Mr. John F. Davis, President of the
Xative Sons of the Golden West.
R. Chairman, Old Settlers, Pioneers and
Friends :
I don't know an occasion where I
ever took a keener satisfaction in re-
sponding as Grand President of the Na-
tive Sons of the Golden West than I do
upon this occasion. Not even the Ninth
of September, — Admission Day — with all its color and all
its enthusiasm, was a source of greater pride. It is in such
scenes as this that we find a vindication of the purposes of
our Order. There come times in the life of every cause, in
the career of every organization, when the onslaughts of
calumny and the lukewarmness of friends make their ad-
herents take stock of their principles and plans — times
when there is a need of a quickening of the spirit. It was
said of Antaeus, in the Old Roman mythology, that his
physical strength was renewed whenever he came in contact
with his Mother Earth. And so, when we look into the
eager upturned faces and glowing eyes of a throng like
this, we, — we too — renew our strength and devotion to the
cause, and realize in every fibre of our being that it is all
worth while. The emotion created by a scene like this
moisten our eyes and chokes our utterance. But it was
all true, after all — there was need and there was occasion
for the creation of an organization whose aim and whose
purpose would be to keep alive and pass on to posterity
the memory of the Pioneers.

You are the survivors of the great drama. Oil this plat-
form and in this audience I look into the eyes of the sur-
vivors of Donner Lake, and of Death Valley, and of the Bear
Flag Party, and of many an incident of the tragic story of
the emigrant trail. Here sits the first girl of Anglo-Saxon
parents born in Yerba Buena; there sits the first baby
rocked in a miner's rocker, because there was no cradle in
camp. You are the survivors of the Grand Army of the
energetic and the daring to which the forbears of most of
us belonged. You make us proud of that ancestry. You
strengthen our resolve that the story of California's Pio-
neers shall be known and perpetuated. In this venerable
presence we re-dedicate ourselves to the trust. Have no
fear but that the cause in our hands will be sacred. Whether
our bark shall ride the waves of the future, or sink beneath
them, of one thing you may rest assured: we vvill keep our
rudder clear.
On the 5th of July, 1875. our Order was founded to pre-
serve the traditions of the Pioneers. The task threw us back
upon an investigation of that tradition. The more we
searched the more the wonder grew, — the broader became
our outlook. Here was a land whose history was a recur-
rence of Pioneers. Here were the Pioneer navigators, those
heroes of the sea — Cabrillo, Viscaino, Drake, Vancouver,
and all the rest — who up and down these coasts in that
early day performed feats as valiant as anything accom-
plished bj' the Norsemen in Iceland or the circumnavigators
of the Cape of Good Hope. Here were the Pioneers of civi-
lization on these shores, the brave Franciscan padres, whose
sincere attempt to redeem a race from barbarism, whose
fight for the souls of men beneath the standard of the
cross, makes the story of their Missions stand out on the
sky-line of our history, and has rendered iinmortal the
name of Juuipero Serra. Here were the Pioneer Spanish
families, the graeiousness of whose M^elcome in hacienda and
presidio "before the Gringo" has created for California a
tradition of hospitality that has survived to this very day.
Here, above all, were the Pioneers who, across the plains and
Page Sixly)-fouT
PIONEER AND OLD SETTLERS' DAY SOUVENIR
the desert, across the Islhiiins, across Xicaragua. and arouud
the Horn, crowded to these shores like a mighty army of
conquest, and through their intelligence, their resourceful-
ness, and their sterling worth laid deep and strong the
foundation of a glorious Comonwealth. Here is the land
of romance, here the laud of high endeavor. Our organiza-
tion is spending out of its own resources three thousand
dollars a year to collect, preserve, and publish every scrap
of material relating to its history. We intend that Califor-
nia shall have her proper proportionate place in the his-
tory of the Nation. AVe intend that California shall have
her "place in the sun". We intend that this story shall be
known by all her sons and daughters, if we have to hoist a
Bear Flag on every sohoolhouse in California.
Of course, such a mission will not carry with it the crea-
tive thrill. Our task will not be as heroic as your achieve-
ment. Wendell Philli])S used to say: "Men make history —
scholars write it," and he spoke the truth. And in Califor-
nia, especially, to men of our heredity, it is not always easy
to be retrospective. If we are sometimes found busy with
the day's work, you at least will not understand us — you
at least will know the reason why. As there was here a re-
currence of Pioneers in the past, so, now, Ave sometimes lay
doAvu the pen to scan the horizon. "Is it any wonder," I
said the other day, "that we are distracted by the scenes
and problems of the everlasting present: governmputal
pro1)]ems, social problems, industrial problems, international
problems, world problems. We see the canal finished be-
fore our eyes. The seat of empire begins to shift from the
Atlantic to the Pacific The prophecy of William
Henry Seward is being made a reality. The vision of Alex-
ander von Hum])oldt is coming true. We cannot resist the
call of the blood. Though we have a just pride in our for-
bears and love our State's traditions, and wish to promote
and perpetuate a knowledge of them, and though some of
us call ourselves Native Sons of the Golden West, 1 have a
feeling that in intellect, in temperament, in environment,
and. it may be, in opportunity, we are still — the Pioneers."

of Oakland
O'er the trackless heights of mountains and weary leagues
of plain,
Where the desert knew no foiuitain and the wilderness no
rain ;
Stalked by the painted savage, their lives a pledge to fate ;
They came, a peerles army, "The Builders of Our State."
Men of our days of valor
Might from your might we drew;
No blood you shed, but our strength it fed.
And tribute we pay to you.
'Tis but an army shattered —
A remnant from times that are past.
l)ov\^n stricken and broken and battered,
By times ever conquering blast ;
A hand-full of Avorthy survivors,
Of those who Avere mighty of yore ;
Yet they were the Builders, Creators,
And theirs is our strength ever more.
They wait for the shades together,
They wait for the peace untold —
Past the earthly damps, where the stars are lamps,
That shine in the City of Gold.
Ah ! that was an army, splendid,
As ever has led the van,
Wherever the journey trended.
In the ceaseless march of man.
Brawn of the East and sinew,
All that we know as great.

Exposition Valley. Its Past and Future
Chairman: No more inteiesting- reminiscences are to be found
than those of the Great Metropolis of the West — San Francisco. Dr.
Marg-aret Mahoney will tell a story of the past, in her remarks on
"Exposition Valley, Its Past and Future."
IIIEXDS, for Pioneers and Old Settlers
are ever friends, I address you as the
representative of *'The Daughters of
California Pioneers." I speak to you of
Exposition Valley, where today we are
holding the International Exposition and
where this reunion of California's found-
ers is in session.
The i^ast comes back to me in memory, as it comes back
to every member of the Society of Daughters of California
Pioneers.
One of my earliest recollections is of bright Sunday
mornings. I recall the oft-repeated picture of the
hunter, I cannot tell now if the figure was always the same.
There may have been many but to me he was only one. He
was clad in canvas of dark cream hue, mottled with stains.
A game bag of open woven hemp with fringe of same hung
at his side. A gun was over his shoulder. Ilis dogs were
always Avith him. The sight of that gun filled me with
childish terror, but it had a fascination so that I never could
remove ray eyes until he disappeared from view. Perhaps
he went out over the hills to licorice rock (far out on Pacific
Ave. that would be now) or perhaps he went down into the
valley by way of the Presidio Road. The parting of those
two roads was the limit of my vision.
He must have pushed his way through brush and tangled
blackberry and chilicothe vines, if his destination Avas the
Page Sixty nine
PIONEER AND OLD SETTLERS' DAY SOUVENIR
hillside slopes where at present are the houses of our wealthy
citizens. Linnets and California canaries had homes there.
Chippies and humming birds were plentiful. These could
not be what he sought. There must have been rabbits or
quail to repay him for his exertion. If he turned his course
towards the valley, the swamps near the Presidio must have
afforded him quantities of duck. To me he was always go-
ing out. I have no memory of ever having seen him return.
Sometimes a well dressed man would pass by carrying
an umbrella under his arm. He was generally seeking a
view of the Golden Gate. The children on such occasions
always called to one another, ' ' There goes an Englishman,
An umbrella in summer, no matter how the weather seemed
to threaten rain, was to us the sign of the stranger within
our gate. That stranger was generally an English tourist,
who had drifted in from the colonies.
The Presidio is an early fact iu our history. It may be
that there never was a pueblo of San Francisco, that is open
to question, but the Presidio was founded in 1776.
In time dwellings sprang up in the valley close to it.
Well-to-do, intelligent citizens settled there, among them
Frank Pixley, Burr and Sage, Judge Woods and his fam-
ily, Mrs, John F, Swift is one of his daughters, had their
home in the neighborhood. Judge John Hunt must have
lived in the vicinity. It was years later that Casebolt and
Estee erected what were considered mansions.
In Januarj', 1851, Col, Nevins procured a fifty-vara lot
at Spring Valley on the Presidio Road and erected a public
school. There was a grove of trees near by and numerous
running springs for which the valley was called. The val-
ley and the school have long since relinquished the name;
but the Spring Valley Water Company still bears it and is
still a vital issue in the life of San Francisco,
Vegetable gardens spread over a large portion of the val-
ley, and here and there hidden quietly away might be found
small beds of Johnny-jumpups, just the same yellow blos-
soms that under the name of pansies. carpet the court of

PIONEER AND OLD SETTLERS* DAY SOUVENIR
flowers in this Exposition. Later there were large flower
gardens down the Presidio Road direction.
Spring Valley School was the social center, where the
May parties were held, in a time when there was not much
talk of social centers.
Back to memory comes the blacksmith shop on the west
side of the Presidio Road, where the ruling spirit was the
wiry, old man whose light blue eyes looked as if they were
being burned out by the heat and glare of the forge fire.
Perchance he was not the ruling spirit, for his portly wife
may have cojitrolled affairs. Even now I can see the nas-
turtiums that were fastened up to the side of the house and
the large yellow sunflowers that grew beside the door. The
flowers in the valley must have been all yellow, for the
lupins out in the sand near the beach and the snap dragons
that were on the side of the cliff above the road going to
the fort were yellow also.
On the bluff nearly opposite the smithy was an old clap-
boarded house, small gabled, and wdth shingled roof and
windows boarded up. It was opened only occasionally
when elections were held. There was a mystery about the
place, for tradition had it that a man w^as hanged there
once. Elections were not held every day then, but election
day was always a stirring day. Especially was the excite-
ment great just before sunset when the polls closed. Wagon-
loads of singing, shouting men were hurried out to turn the
tide of election at the last moment. There was no Australian
ballot and very little secret about the ballots. After the
above statement it might be considered partisan in these
non-partisan daj-s to say how that precinct always went.
Off in the sand dunes near the bay was the home of Red
Mike ; Michael Iliggins was the name, I think. It was said
he was holding the land for Eugene Sullivan. Why he
w^as called Red Mike I cannot say. Perhaps it was because
his hair was red, perhaps because he wore a red shirt. We
feared him for some vague reason and even boys did not
dare to venture near his holding, although in extenuation
of the undefined evil we thought of him, we always Avhis-

pered that Red Mike Avas good to his mother. The Kanakas
were settled at the lagiiue called Washerwoman's bay,
which gave its name to the Laguna Survey. Not far away
was the little Hebrew Cemetery, where many of the victims
of San Francisco 's early fires were buried. The octagon
house stood then as it stands now on Gough near Union
street. The lagune is gone, the Kanakas are gone, the ceme-
tery is gone, but the octagon house is still there in fair con-
dition. On the same side of the Presidio Road where the
election booth stood were the brickyards. It was claimed
that in the yellow clay used in the brick making was a
wealth of aluminum, if there Avcre only some process by
which to separate it from impurities.
With change of time and change of interest Spring A^alley
changed its name. When the dairy interests dominated it
became cow hollow.
Then years sped by. The milk ranches were banished.
Real estate men bent on booming the valley called it Golden
Gate to further their purpose with the aid of a pretty name.
Next came the Panama Canal and the Exposition and
Golden Gate Valley is now Exposition Valley. You have
seen its beauty and you know its charm.
I pause to ask, "What is the destiny of this Valley?'' I
close my eyes and try to penetrate the future. Will the
confused mass that is vouchsafed to ray vision develop
into docks that will rival the docks of Liverpool, the valley
filled with warehouses, and factories, a hive of industry, a
mart of trade or is the future dominated by the quiet ele-
gance of grand homes, like those of New York's Riverside
drive? This is a question of interest to you no matter from
what part of our state you come for San Francisco is the
port of California. The forces of nature and the minds of
men are busy moulding the valley's future. I cannot see
the result. But lo I The vision comes ! Orange and pome-
granate, yellow persimmons, pure gold and golden
grain, golden poppies and buttercups; the grandeur
and glory of the setting sun ; the brightness and
promise of the rising sun; a flood of light; a riot of color; a
harmony of tone ; a symphony in yellow ; a future bright
what e'er that future be, is the future of the valley that lies
close to Harbor V^iew.

Who Have Helped Make
PIONEER HISTORY
There was exhibited a miner's old gold rocker, with a his-
tory. Its owner was born near Folsom, 63 years ago, and the
miners felt very badly because this baby did not have a cradle
like they did when they were babies, so they donated a miner's
rocker. In it they put a pillow and the miners took turns in
rocking the baby to sleep. Mrs. Ella Sterling Mighels was
that baby, and today she wore her mother's shawl that cost
$500 in gold in San Francisco. We reproduce the rocker,
decorated for this occasion.
]\Irs. Mary Smith, of Livermore, California, widow of
Henry C. Smith, 89 years old. Her husband was at the Battle
of Santa Clara, under Capt. Fallon. She was married in
1846. She is the daughter of the late George Harlan, and
came to California with him in 1846, then 20 years old. The
party preceded the Donner Party. She is one of the oldest
American women who landed in San Francisco, now living.
They came down the river on Sutter's launch, stopping at San
Francisco.
Mrs. Patsy Reed Lewis, the youngest survivor of the
ill-fated Donner Party, who was a small child and who clung
close to her little china doll through all the trials and hard-
ships of that awful time and brought it out of the snow
with her. Mrs. Lewis is devoted to the Pioneers and is ever
ready to help the w^orthy in every way she can. Her grand-
father lived along side of the Liberty Bell, so we give her
picture taken with the bell.

Panama-Pacific
International Exposition
of 1915
THE WORLD'S GREATEST EXPOSITION
A Review of its History and
Significant Achievements
HE Panama-Pacific International Expo-
sition at San Francisco is a distinctly
natural achievement, determined upon
by the Congress of the United States,
and designated by the President for the
purpose of celebrating the opening of
the Panama Canal, a national accom-
plishment that importantly affects the entire world.
In assuming the burden and expense of this mammoth
celebration in response to the call of the President and
Congress, the people of California have discharged an im-
portant public duty and executed a national trust, the ac-
cruing benefits of which will be shared by every state in the
Union and by the entire citizenship of the nation.
While this greater inter-hemisphere waterway is a na-
tional project, it is, nevertheless, a world's asset, and the
celebration of its opening is being participated in by many
of the nations of the world. The Exposition constitutes au
international concourse of tremendous significance in its
effect upon the natural productivity and commercial activ-
ity of all countries, and more especially of the United States
of America.
In February, 1912, President William Howard Taft issued
a proclamation announcing the holding of this great expo-
sition and inviting the nations of the world to take part.
On October 14, 1911, in the presence of a great multitude
President Taft turned the first spadeful of earth at San
Francisco for the Exposition. The President, the Governor
of California and the Mayor of San Francisco delivered ad-
dresses. The vessels of the Pacific fleet in the harbor joined
in the celebration, and there was an extended military
parade in the streets.

PIONEER AND OLD SETTLERS' DAY SOUVENIR
The citizens of San Francisco subscribed $7,000,000 for
the Exposition, and later additional sums were pledged.
The State of California appropriated $5,000,000 and the
Municipal Grovernment of San Francisco $5,000,000 to the
general fund of the exposition management. The counties
of California raised large sums for their individual rep-
resentations which were undertaken upon an elaborate
scale. Large sums were expended by the participating
nations and by the States of the Union, while industrial and
other concerns made unprecedented preparations for their
private exhibits. The grand total constitutes an expendi-
ture of approximately $50,000,000.
Visitors to the Exposition will gain their first impression
of the magnificent enterprise from an entrancing view of
its architectural features. Seen from the water approach
over the Bay of San Francisco, or from the overhanging hills
of the city in the background, the spectacle is a glorious one,
inspiring both delight and wonder.
The site upon which the Exposition was built could not
have been duplicated elsewhere on the globe. It combines
to an extraordinary degree the qualities of scenic beauty
with accessibility and convenience. It occupies a natural
amphitheatre on the shore of the bay of San Francisco, just
within the famous Golden Gate, with the wooded slope of
Mount Tamalpais and the beautiful Marin hills opposite.
Reaching from Fort Mason on the east to the United States
Government presidio military reservation on the west, the
north facade of the great "Walled City of the Orient" as
it lias been called, occupies its center, fronting on the
Marina with its mile and a half wide lawn that reaches
down to the water's edge. The Exposition grounds are with-
in twenty minutes ride from the center of the city.
Chateau, castle and cathedral, of the old world, built of
enduring stone, towering upon tall mountain, or gleaming
Avhite in sequestered vale, in wealth of carving in alluring
contour, in tower and battlement and embrasured window
and arched doorway, are the shrines of all travelers who
love the beautiful in architecture and art.
The infinite labor bestowed upon their construction, the
long years in building the genius lavished upon their adorn-
}nent, render their appeal constant and compelling.
IJut if one Avill consider the group of eight exhibit palaces
as one edifice, which in reality they are. the structure must
rank as one of the great buildings of the world, and so it
will appear when its massive dignity and beauty of outline
Page Cig'ii'v-lwo
PIONEER AND OLD SETTLERS' DAY SOUVENIR
first greet the eye. Lacking in ornamental detail, the mental
comparison will at once disclose the majesty of extent and
the reposeful grandeur which render this creation one of the
most notable architectural triumphs of this or any other age.
For this central group of compacted palaces, this one mag-
nificent edifice, is flanked on three sides by other great ex-
hibit palaces, which with the pavilions of the nations and
the states stretching away fan-shaped along the bay, empha-
size and accent its size and splendor.
From the city's heights one looks down on a facade three-
quarters of a mile long, dominated at its center by a lofty
seven-storied tower, named the "Tower of Jewels" — 432
feet in height, and broken on either side by an open court
ornamented with lesser towers. As the eye rests upon the
rectangular group, eight great domes claim the attention,
distinguishing the location of an equal number of exhibit
palaces; domes of sea-green color, pale against the intense
blue of the sky and the bright red of the tiled roofs. One
notes that avenues bisect the group at right angles, widen-
ing along the lateral axis into three courts, that in the cen-
ter are spacious and highly embellished.
And as the eye withdraws from the central group-build-
ing, attracted by the two domed structures in the South Gar-
dens, Festival Hall and the Palace of Horticulture. To the
east rests the Palace of Machinery containing eight acres
of floor space, of grave exterior and regular lines. To the
west across the still lake, and curving to its shores, the are
of a circle, eleven hundred feet along its outer circumfer-
ence, its facade a long colonnade embracing an ornate per-
gola, stands the Palace of Fine Arts.
And then, involuntarily, the eye lifts and sweeping past
the esplanade on the bay shore rests with delight upon the
encircling mountains and marine views, a fit setting for
this marvelous accomplishment.
But let us enter the charmed enclosure for a more intimate
study of these exhibit palaces. Passing through the main
entrance, underneath the Tower of Jewels, we enter the
central court, called the "Court of the Universe." Ellip-
tical in shape, 700 by 900 feet, it contains a sunken garden
capable of seating seven thousand persons, is entirely sur-
rounded by handsome colonnades suppoi-ting one hundred
and ten star-crowned figures, the facades of the four palaces
being modified to form the walls of the court. The en-
trances from the lateral avenue on the east and west are
surrounded by magnificent archways. That on the east is
called the "Arch of the Rising Sun". Above it. colossal
Page Eighly-tltree

animal figures typify life in the Orient. To the west, the
lofty archway is called the "Arch of the Setting Sun", and
supports corresponding figures significant of life in the Occi-
dent. ■ And on the walls back of the colonnades are mural
paintings by renovA^ued artists telling in symbolism the story
of the rise of mankind to the present heights of progress,
the significance of the canal, and the meaning and pur-
pose of the exposition.
Passing westward along the avenue between the Palaces
of Agriculture and Liberal Arts, the visitor enters the Court
of the Four Seasons, one of the three major courts. Here
the visitor finds a central group of mythical figures gath-
ered about Ceres, Goddess of Agriculture, while in niches
at the corners of the four enclosing palaces are groups sig-
nifying respectively Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter.
Here, the intent of mural paintings also is to embody the
opulence and bounty of nature in the West. The corres-
ponding court on the east is the "Court of Abundance",
Two minor courts open to the south, that on the east, the
Court of Flowers, on the west the Court of Palms.
To the north of this compacted group of palaces stretches
the long Esplanade, threaded with walks and driveways
and studded with shrubs, plants and trees that are the tri-
bute of two zones. On the south the extensive gardens are
continually bright with seasonal flowers, while over beyond
the superb Palace of Fine Arts in bewildering array the
dignified Foreign Pavilions and imposing buildings of the
States arrest the attention and invite to close inspection be-
cause of peculiar features indicative of resources, power or
fame.
The following foreign nations are participating in the
Exposition: Argentina, Austria, Australia, Bolivia, Brazil,
Bulgaria, Canada, Cuba, China, Holland, Italy, Denmark,
New Zealand, Norway, Persia, Panama, Portugal, Sweden,
Spain, Siam, Turkey, Japan, India, Germany and Great
Britain.
There are forty-three states and territories counted as
participants, and these are: Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas,
California, Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii,
Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana,
Maryland Massachusetts, Michigan, Nebraska, Nevada, New
Jersey, New York, South Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio,
Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Philippines, Rhode Island,
North Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, West Vir-

Of the foreign nations more have pavilions than were ever
erected at any other exposition. There are twenty-three
pavilions. Of the participating states and territories twen-
ty-nine have buildings. These structures are rich in inter-
est. Some are merely attractive structures built to be the
center of the state or nation's activities and the home of
famous places and combine education with entertainment
and service,
the many social activities. Others are reproductions of
Imagination is the key note of the architectural scheme of
the Exposition and each of the marvelous palaces and courts
represents the masterpiece of the designing architect. In
direct contrast to previous expositions the architecture at
San Francisco's Exposition is not wholly in one rigid and
inflexible style, but displays the various types which have
won renown in many eras of the world's principal countries.
The lower part of the Court is symbolical of the Creation
of the Earth and graduations in the ascension show the vari-
ous stages of man's progress, until the tip of the arch repre-
sents an imaginative and allegorical conception of the ulti-
mate achievement of the human race.
By the use of the imitation Travertine marble for the
treatment of all of the exteriors of the Exhibition Palaces,
the suggestions of plaster and stucco is eliminated and the
impression given of a dream city of palaces constructed of
rare marble, soft in tint and tone.
Notes of contrast to the beautiful soft tones of the marble
are gained by the integral castings of columns in replica of
Red Sienna or Mumidian Marble, or a Verde antique in
bronze or gold, but even in these the startified texture of the
original surfaces are reproduced and the general treatment
adhered to. For the decorations of the walls all of the fig-
ures are made of the same material, which is unprecedented
in exposition construction and designing.
A city of vast extent, composed of huge, picturesque
buildings decorated in the softest of pastel colors and out-
lined with the glowing radiance of electric lights, the whole
bathed in the white beams of the battery of scintillators ;
that is the exposition by night. Everywhere are lights, but
nowhere are they painfully prominent. It is a display of
the entire system with the beams of light as the feature and
not the individual lights.
The basis of the electrical display is based on the prin-
ciple of massed lights reflected onto the buildings, columns
Page Eight)) -five
PIONEER AND OLD SETTLERS' DAY SOUVENIR
and statues. At the tops of high poles and surrounding the
main exhibit palaces are batteries of high power lamps
shielded on the sides and front with translucent banners.
The rear is left unlighted, and the lights reflect on the ivory-
tinted walls.
In the several courts, various lighting plans are in use. In
one where the central portion is occiipied by a lagoon, the
lights are concealed in shells placed at the top of short poles.
In another the lights in white globes form the center of
rosettes. On the walls of the Court of the Universe are a
series of figures, draped female forms bearing scintilating
stars of jewels on the heads. The jewels are so arranged
that they sway in the breeze and in the rays of the search-
lights make a sight of surpassing beauty. On the Tower of
Jewels, the entrance to the court, rising 435 feet above the
earth, are 135,000 of these prisms in the shades of emerald,
ruby, sapphii-e, topaz and other precious stones. The effect
created by the play of 200 concealed searchlights v^ath their
beams focussed on the tower must be seen to be fully appre-
ciated and once seen new r to be forgotten.
A background for the entire lighting plan of the Exposi-
tion is the scintillator of 3,600,000 candle power, located in
Yacht Harbor, on a pier extending across the entrance. The
beautiful white rays are sent out in a fan shaped display
resembling the Aurora Borealis, and by clever color screen
arrangements, gradually assume all the shades of the rain-
bow. Then the individual rays sweep the skies in what is
known as the drill. They arrange in parallels, in plaid ef-
fects, fans and plumes.
The majestic glass dome of the Palace of Horticulture is
one of the most beautiful features of the nightly illumina-
tion. Located within the dome are high powered lights
which play through slowly revolving color screens which
produce color combinations and changes without end. Many
unique effects are shoAvn including the Processions of the
Constellations of the Universe, and the Evolution of the
Nebula Hypothesis. These magnificent effects are varied
by processions of grotesque and amusing figures around the
dome.
Even the atmospheric conditions have given their assist-
ance in making this the most attractive illumination ever
planned. On some evenings there are banks of fog hanging
over the Bay of San Francisco. The searchlights are trained
on these banks and dye them every color of the rainbow.
Page Eightv-
PIONEER AND OLD SETTLERS' DAY SOUVENIR
When the fog is lacking, artificial fog is manufactured. A
locomotive is stationed on the outer wall of Yacht Harbor
and the steam generated by this engine forms the back-
ground for similar displays.
The avenues of the Exposition are softly illuminated.
Ornamental lamp posts are placed at small intervals and
these are topped with electric lights concealed in translucent
white globes. Everywhere one looks there are lights, and
yet it is almost impossible to find a spot where the usual
glare of brilliant gas or electric illumination is found. No-
where do the eyes suffer from the artificial light. Every
detail of the lighting was planned before the work was
started. And the planning had for its object the eradication
of the glare and at the same time the furnishing of enough
light to display the details of the architecture in its min-
utest portion to the best advantage.
Despite the greatest war in history, the Panama-Pacific
International Exposition has met with greater success than
any exposition ever held. It has resulted in bringing more
than one half million persons from points east of the Rocky
Mountains, at an average journey for each person of 4,000
miles, thus resulting in the greatest westward movement in
the history of the United States. It has paid off a debt of
$1,200,000 with M'hich it started, and this was paid off while
the great Exposition was but two-thirds concluded.
During the period of the world war, the Exposition has
been a magnificent testimonial of the friendship of the
Avorld for America. Its financial success, early established,
is being continued, and at the beginning of the last month of
its course, indications were that it would pay a profit of
$2,000,000, aside from the salvage to be left from its build-
ings and properties.
As a result of the fair, a number of substantial monu-
ments will be left to San Francisco, including a marine
boulevard surpassing the famed Riviera of southern France ;
the Palace of Fine Arts, pronounced by Thomas A. Edison
and Lord Richard Neville as unquestionably the finest
architecture in the world ; the great California building, an
unequalled assemblage of the finest architectural types of
the California missions, and a number of the state buildings,
as well as the Philippine pavilion, the Japanese and Chi-
nese gardens. This will give San Francisco a public park
and Marina unsurpassed on earth.
