BY Securing an Unlimited Market
Through London Exhibit.
The following letter has been received
from prominent business man of the
South, and states the case very clearly as
to who will be benefited by securing
through the proposed exhibition in Lon
don, an unlimited market for California
productions
EDs. RRcoRD-uNIos OF all the various meas
ures that have come before the Legislature and
Governor of this State for consideration and ac-
ton. none IS OF more vital importance to all the
varied interests of the State than the bull pro-
yiding for California exhibition in the city of
London. Other measures have been conceived
for the purpose of Denefting some particular
class OF industry-bills have passed providing
The State and TO promulgate this particular art
icle OF food supply bills have passed creating
and supporting a State Board of forestry in
order tnst the timber resources of the state

carried thr ,ugh the Legislature and
have received the approval OF the Governor
from insect pests. Bills nave been passed
authorizing the expenditure of funds in gather

proper sanitary condition OF factories and work

tion working for the betterment of the condi-
ton o. those engaged in various occupations.
Experience has proven the wisdom of legisla-
tioc referred to.
Ii has been suggested that the bill providing

contend there is not single industry nor pro-
ducer of any kind in the state that will not be
benefited by such comprehensive exhibition
as has been itlined by the gentlemen who are
advocating the London exhibition. ! admit

an advantage TO all.

this benefits the iumbermen, the Iaboreis who
