use returned, and in its place two cars, now
lying idle in Sacramento, made to take the
place OF the present one. The advisability
of using two cars would result in the ex-
hibit going into Eastern cities where the
present car could not go now, owing to its
size, being wider by two inches than the
tracks that was desired to run them on.
The speaker said the railroad company had
given many advantages in connection with
the travelling exhibit and had borne a great
deal of the expense, and he thought that
his company could consistently ask the
Board to pay the running expenses of the
new California on Wheels"
THE WINE INTEREST
W. H. Mills said that the wine industry
of the State was fast declining-that is, the
remuneration was very small TO the grow
ers, especially when so much was invested
in the enterprise. He believed that this in
dustry should have special attention paid
to it. Where one car was now used for the
exhibit OF fruit and wines, the two cars
could be utilized to better advantage by
making one of the cars special feature of
The ylticultural interests of the State and
the other devoted to the fruit interests.
The Viticultural Commission should be
urged to pay pro rata in connection with
developing its resources. This is the most
effective advertising the State has ever
entered into, and it is profitable and wide
spreading, and should be continued by all
means.
On motion of NJ. NJ. Estee, the Secretary
was instructed to communicate with the
Viticultural Commission and learn what
action they will take in connection with
making an exhibit of the wine industry of
the State.
Mr.. Goodman stated that he would
shortly take trip East, and he desired to
know if the Board would not take definite
action in the matter so be could proceed
with the work, as he did not know how
long he would remain East.
Mr.. Alsip said it was the sense of the
meeting that the advice of Mr. Goodman
be complied with, and a committee of three
ence with the railroad people. The Chair
appointed as such committee Messrs By.
ington, Mills and Estee.
