TREASURE ISLAND LIGHTS
LIT BY BOMBAY SUN GOLDEN GATE EXPOSITION OPENS SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 17, Four hundred acres of the Golden Gate Exposition broke in a blaze of glory to-night when a ray of the noonday sun over Bombay set off a radio signal turning on the 1,500,000dollar Treasure Island lighting system. To-morrow Governor Olson, using a 35,000-dollar jewelled key, will open the gates, for which it is anticipated that 250,000 persons will attend. Mr. Roosevelt will speak by radio from a battleship off the Florida coast. The 50,000,000-dollar rival to the New York World Fair will run 288 days.
