Latin American nations are dhicoming and expecting much from ited States participation-in a PanAmerican conference for the first time since about 1&23,eor since there ti any nations below the Rio Grande at all. The first cause for the change in attitude towards the Yankee in the north is the fruit of four years of Franklin Roosevelt’s “good neighbor’’ policy. And the Second cause is that Hispanic Americans feel that any committments or agreements made at the confer“en by United. States representatives will find ready acceptance by a people who have SO _ recently demonstrated their entire trust in this President and by an equally friendly senate. President Roosevelt’s intentions towards Latin America are felt to be generous and fair and policies dictated by these intentions have now the best chance to be enacted into laws and treaties by the United States. Whether or not the _ President finds he can Set away from government affairs at home to attend the conference, his well wishes for the success of the conference toward securing a peaceful western family of nations will give the meet an increased importance and chance for accomplishment. Secretary Hull and delegation have already sailed southward ready to enter into negotiations according to executive instructions. Hull is himself a proponent of international good will and has steadily worked towards this end by entering into commercial reciprocity treaties with Latin American nations. The United States. delega: tion will remain discreetly. in the background as to the advancement of suggestions during the conference but will lend its whcolehearted support to measures it approves.

FAR LOWER RATE In an open letter to the Railr« oad . Commission of California the Twin) City Improvement Association has . requested that the cdmmission in-. vestigate the charges made suburhan users of electricity by the P. G & E. At present users of electricity who live outside incorporated areas and towns are paying for their electricity at a higher rate than are users because rifal disaccording to a previous decision of the ‘commission, expensive to serve with electricity and must be charged at higher rates. A petition bearing 650 signatures most of which are those of residents in nearby suburban, or rural districts has been sent recently to the commission by the Twin City Improvement organization. It is stated that the rural rate is 20 per cent higher than the Grass Valley or Nevada City rate. The petition asks a lower scale of rates, explaining that in most instances the suburban service of local districts is distributed from poles that were put up long ago to carry electricity to the mines. In view of the ease with which electrical energy is diverted from these poles to outlying homes and businesses, and the large revenue which accrues to the P. G. & E. from the mines usage of electricity, petitioners feel that they should enjoy the lower city rate.

Great Bay Span Attracts Million Visitors To S.F. (By H. M. L.) “San Francisco,” as the _ late President’ Howard Taft observed on a. famous occasion, ‘‘knows how: With the largest number of cars ever to enter that cosmopolitan city by the Golden Gate, for the great bridge celebration, there was in all that multitude of approximately a million visitors plus the home population of over 600,000 of the city itself, an all pervading spirit of fun without disorder, and with the hospitable: graces that have made San Francisco renowned the world over. The immensity of the bridge itself and its sheer beauty of massive towers, and enormous’ gables, all shining in aluminum paint, dwarfs the tiny motor cars that whirl over it in an unending stream in either direction. But everywhere are the traffic police and patrolmen of Oakland, San Francisco and Caliitself to preserve order, to caution the rural driver, to take off, the careless motorists with a flat tire or without gas, to clean up a wreck in a jiffy. . For wrecks wilt happer along the great span with its six lanes, three for traffic in either direction!

At times 6009 cars an hour passed over the bridge. . The spectacular procession of Fri. day afternoon and Saturday night . were symbolic of the city’s fame and . bridge, which choose. the achievement of the bridge. Brid. ges past and present were the heme . . of both parades. Huge moving tab. . leaux of historic bridges, such a one . as Horatius held agains terrific . odds in ancient Rome, a yaaa bridge, a bridge of rural Russia, “the! . first bridge such: as the CCC boys must ‘sometimes use, a log felled across a stream. There was the bridge of Pont Neuf with its ancient Roman towers at either end. And drum corps, from the ferry building, to the civie center. The roll of drums never ceased. There were Chinese drums, Checko-Slovakian drums, drums from the Philippines, long narrow drums from savage Africa,: big bass drums of every nationality, drums from the Argentine ship in port to the roll of which marched the natty Argentine sea soldiers. The ‘Philippine Nation”’ marched, a band of fifty pieces and more drums, ‘sounding a peculiar cadence, half Igorotte and _ half Spanish, as it were. San Francisco’s China Town turned out en mass, especially the girls in their bright Asiatic costumes, of pink, purple, green and yellow. At the illuminated night parade there were three brigades of Chinese girls in costume carrying beautiful lanters of different patterns for each brigade. A Chinese band wailed weirdly at their head. [ nia. There was the Los Angeles po. Francisco . packed . ple. mans And horses! Never before in any California procession probably have appeared so many pure bred Arabians .Magnificent animals, cream colored, black and sorrel, or bay, everyone could be spotted by any admirer of horse flesh by the width of their heads their delicate nostrils’ and tapering jaws, their proudly curved necks and large intelligent eyes. The ‘“sheriff’s posse,’’ a Los Angeles aggregation of orange shirted and black trousered caballeros was perhaps the most magnificent group, with silver mounted saddles, pearl handled revolvers, and such Arabian horses as one rarely beholds anywhere. Another group hardly less spirited or colorful came from a famous Arab horse ranch in Ventura county. At intervals along the Vine of march were bands of music. There were perhaps fifty bands; some of them from distant parts. of Califorlice band, the San Francisco police band, the Salvation Army band, which varied the pubilant note of other bands by playing some of the grand old hymns as they marched. There was the band of the California Grays, the band of the Filipinos, the Argentine band: There were numerous bands wearing smocks and liberty. cans. The Presidio bands turned out and from the warships in the harbor came © naval bands. There were* bands from the colleges. The University “of California sen ia blue and gold band into Ne ia there in the first line was Carl Murchie of Nevada City blowing bravelv on his trombone. Los Angeles easily captured the first prize; if one were offered, with its float, the splendor of which ex~ ‘ceeded all its splendid competitors tn the illuminated parade. The Napa county float using colored balloons fashioned into great bunches of grapes. was perhaps a close second to Los Angeles in the illuminated procession of gorgeous floats. The beautiful floral float of the San park commission was also among those to receive great applause. the route of these parades Ferry building and around in the civic center were a million happy peoFathers with their kiddies their necks stood patiently seeing nothing but the very tops of the floats, while their young~ sters had a good view. Enterprising truck drivers sold soap and goods boxes at 10 cents for the short huto stand on. And after the show was over they made the rounds gathering them up.The grand stands at the Civic center for the night parade were not filled, and with characteristic San Francisco hospitaility the police, at half past eight, shoed the people who stood on the sidewalks and in the streets, into the grandstands, where they hobnobbed with the proud possessors of seats that cost $2.50 good for both parades. Among those from Nevada City who crossed the bridge and saw the great spectacle were Mr. and Mrs. Emil Ott, Mr. and Mrs. R, J. Bennetts, Mrs. Will BeGuire, Mrs. Arthur Hoge, Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Schreiber and family, Mr. and Mrs. R. N. McCormack, Mr. and Mrs. James Penrose, Ralph E. Deeble, Mr. and Mrs. H.

Great Bay Span Attracts Million Visitors To S.F. (By H. M. L.) “San Francisco,” as the _ late President’ Howard Taft observed on a. famous occasion, ‘‘knows how: With the largest number of cars ever to enter that cosmopolitan city by the Golden Gate, for the great bridge celebration, there was in all that multitude of approximately a million visitors plus the home population of over 600,000 of the city itself, an all pervading spirit of fun without disorder, and with the hospitable: graces that have made San Francisco renowned the world over. The immensity of the bridge itself and its sheer beauty of massive towers, and enormous’ gables, all shining in aluminum paint, dwarfs the tiny motor cars that whirl over it in an unending stream in either direction. But everywhere are the traffic police and patrolmen of Oakland, San Francisco and Caliitself to preserve order, to caution the rural driver, to take off, the careless motorists with a flat tire or without gas, to clean up a wreck in a jiffy. . For wrecks wilt happer along the great span with its six lanes, three for traffic in either direction! The bore through Yerba Buena island, high enough it is said to seta seven story building, resounded with motor horns as the passed through. Those expecting a long look down the outer lanes will disappointed, There a wide view of the Marin, Alameda, Contra Costa and of the bay and the ships that play serenely } pe San Francisco: shores, hut of a look downward, it not obtainable because of the cables and the parapet that guards : of this wonderful Bieaway j across it, And of take across the bay. course no} his will motorists driver lane wise eyes off} . his as are expected . to make reasonable depending they speed across the . upon = the ioe. At times 6009 cars an hour passed over the bridge. . The spectacular procession of Fri. day afternoon and Saturday night . were symbolic of the city’s fame and . bridge, which choose. the achievement of the bridge. Brid. ges past and present were the heme . . of both parades. Huge moving tab. . leaux of historic bridges, such a one . as Horatius held agains terrific . odds in ancient Rome, a yaaa bridge, a bridge of rural Russia, “the! . first bridge such: as the CCC boys must ‘sometimes use, a log felled across a stream. There was the bridge of Pont Neuf with its ancient Roman towers at either end. And drum corps, from the ferry building, to the civie center. The roll of drums never ceased. There were Chinese drums, Checko-Slovakian drums, drums from the Philippines, long narrow drums from savage Africa,: big bass drums of every nationality, drums from the Argentine ship in port to the roll of which marched the natty Argentine sea soldiers. The ‘Philippine Nation”’ marched, a band of fifty pieces and more drums, ‘sounding a peculiar cadence, half Igorotte and _ half Spanish, as it were. San Francisco’s China Town turned out en mass, especially the girls in their bright Asiatic costumes, of pink, purple, green and yellow. At the illuminated night parade there were three brigades of Chinese girls in costume carrying beautiful lanters of different patterns for each brigade. A Chinese band wailed weirdly at their head. [ nia. There was the Los Angeles po. Francisco . packed . ple. mans And horses! Never before in any California procession probably have appeared so many pure bred Arabians .Magnificent animals, cream colored, black and sorrel, or bay, everyone could be spotted by any admirer of horse flesh by the width of their heads their delicate nostrils’ and tapering jaws, their proudly curved necks and large intelligent eyes. The ‘“sheriff’s posse,’’ a Los Angeles aggregation of orange shirted and black trousered caballeros was perhaps the most magnificent group, with silver mounted saddles, pearl handled revolvers, and such Arabian horses as one rarely beholds anywhere. Another group hardly less spirited or colorful came from a famous Arab horse ranch in Ventura county. At intervals along the Vine of march were bands of music. There were perhaps fifty bands; some of them from distant parts. of Califorlice band, the San Francisco police band, the Salvation Army band, which varied the pubilant note of other bands by playing some of the grand old hymns as they marched. There was the band of the California Grays, the band of the Filipinos, the Argentine band: There were numerous bands wearing smocks and liberty. cans. The Presidio bands turned out and from the warships in the harbor came © naval bands. There were* bands from the colleges. The University “of California sen ia blue and gold band into Ne ia there in the first line was Carl Murchie of Nevada City blowing bravelv on his trombone. Los Angeles easily captured the first prize; if one were offered, with its float, the splendor of which ex~ ‘ceeded all its splendid competitors tn the illuminated parade. The Napa county float using colored balloons fashioned into great bunches of grapes. was perhaps a close second to Los Angeles in the illuminated procession of gorgeous floats. The beautiful floral float of the San park commission was also among those to receive great applause. the route of these parades Ferry building and around in the civic center were a million happy peoFathers with their kiddies their necks stood patiently seeing nothing but the very tops of the floats, while their young~ sters had a good view. Enterprising truck drivers sold soap and goods boxes at 10 cents for the short huto stand on. And after the show was over they made the rounds gathering them up.The grand stands at the Civic center for the night parade were not filled, and with characteristic San Francisco hospitaility the police, at half past eight, shoed the people who stood on the sidewalks and in the streets, into the grandstands, where they hobnobbed with the proud possessors of seats that cost $2.50 good for both parades. Among those from Nevada City who crossed the bridge and saw the great spectacle were Mr. and Mrs. Emil Ott, Mr. and Mrs. R, J. Bennetts, Mrs. Will BeGuire, Mrs. Arthur Hoge, Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Schreiber and family, Mr. and Mrs. R. N. McCormack, Mr. and Mrs. James Penrose, Ralph E. Deeble, Mr. and Mrs. H.
