. SAN FRANCISCO. october 26.-A special
dispatch to the Post from Sacramento says;
Since SO much has been said by Los Angeles
newspapers in disparagement of the sacra-
mento Valley citrus fruits, it is seriously
proposed by many to hold the Forthcoming
citrus exhibition OF Northern California
counties in Los Angeles. It Is argued that
this would extinguish criticism from that
quarter and at the same time would open
the eyes OF many eastern people who would
be in Southern California, and who have
been led to believe that the northern coun-
ties cannot grow oranges and lemons. II it
were not for the project to hold an exhibit
tion in Chicago, the 10, Angeles scheme
would probably be put into execution.

at Uganda, Africa, by order of King Mevanga.
The massacre began in June, and was di'

abomipabie crime. Many Christians were
tortured, mutilated and speared and thirty.
two were burnt alive together. The fate of
