held a meeting this afternoon Senator |
Stanford presided. A large amount of
capital was represented. Senator Stanford |
said he had no doubt $4,000 could be cas-
lily raised, but believed that $500, 600 could |
be raised in California just as easily. He |
reasoned that while gentlemen might con- |
tribute small amounts to commonplace |
monument, if something was projected |
that would be an ornament TO the State it |
would stimulate the generous impulses of
the people, and the amount required would |
be forthcoming.
Now Is the Time to Strike the Blow.
SAN FRANCISCO, September 1.-The. Il. |
Buckiand, proprietor of the San Francisco
Merchant, and Secretary of the Louisville |
Exposition Viticultural Committee for Cal
ifornia, received to-day letter from c. B. |
Turrill, of Louisville, KY, in which the
latter says: Let our raisin- makers now
take active steps to place their goods on the |
market. With the danger of importing |
cholera through the agency of foreign raj |
sins, an opportunity is offered for Califor-
MIA producers and merchants to unite and |
build up reputation and market for
their products, which will so establish |
them as to make it almost impossible for
the foreign product TO regain its vantage
ground, providing, of course, that the quail
ity is always maintained. Now is the time
TO strike the blow"
