STATE PRODUCTS.
New Sites for Exhibits-Retarded
Development.

William 81. Mills presided yesterday after
noon at the monthly meeting Of the State
Board Of Trade, held at 900 Suffer street in
Horticultural Hall. The destruction of the
exhibit by the Grand Hotel fire was formally
reported and two offers for new exhibition
rooms were considered.
The Bancroft Company offered the third
floor Of the History Building on Market
street and Bovee, Toy & Co. offered the use
of store on Seventh street, near Market.
Governor Waterman desires to locate the
States exhibit in the building to be erected
by the Harbor Commission at the foot Of
Market street, which will have large wait
ing-rOom on the second floor In which the
Governor would like to see the exhibit of
the resources of California, as all travellers
will have TO pass through it.
Mr.. Mills presented the Governors sug-
gestlon and spoke In favor of it. He desired
also more extensive exhibit than there was
in the old place and asked the board to take
action in reference to increasing the size
and nature of the future displays. At his
suggestion the Chairmen of all standing
committees were appointed special COM
mttee to attend to the preparation Of the
exhibit
During general discussion over the proper
location OF new site for the boards display
the proposed new State building at the ferry
landing was favored.
The Secretary was also instructed to in
form the Boards Of Supervisors of the State
Of the destruction OF the exhibit, and of the
necessity Of replacing it.
Mr.. Mills presented suggestion from
Coils P. Huntington in reference to the best
method of inducing immigration. The rail-
road magnate proposed to have those who
have settled here to write to their nearest
friends OF their former homes in the East
stating the advantages to be derived from
settling in this State. Mr.. Huntington would
also like 10 send some settlers back East to
tell what they know of the matter
AT the previous meeting of the board a
committee was appointed to investigate the
industrial condition of California, and, as
Chairman OF that committee, Mr.. Mills made
an interesting statement yesterday. He
said he proposed to show that the settlement
and development of the State are retarded
by various causes, and to give reasons why
the rural districts have not grown: "There
is something" he said, ''holding the growth
OF the State back, and whatever that is we
propose to find it out"
n. p. Chapman said that extensive wheat
raising is not profitable. Fruit lands are
more advantageous and the best fruit men
for the finest lands, including interest and
the cost of planting trees.
MIR. Mills said the conditions here are
favorable to the growth of the population.
"ln the next ten years." he continued, II
expect wonderful growth of both cities
and counties in California. The State has
a splendid future and will eventually be an
empire of wealth and population"
Before adjourning vote of thanks was
given the State Horticultural Society for the
use of its new hall.

"gator," who was, no doubt, still lying
motionless on the point A flotilla Of boats
and canoes, manned by an army with rifles,
instantly started for the point. To avoid
confusion it was unanimously agreed that
all should go down together. and that
the entire party, II they were lucky
enough to find Big Ben still there,
should fire voley at the word Of COM
mand. AS they approached the point the
hearts Of all beat quickly, and when. with
straining eyes, they saw Big Ben appar-
emily asleep and motionless upon the bank
even the coolest could scarcely control his
feelings. The boats were silently drawn up
within easy shot, and the word was given.
Bang, bang! went score Of rifles, and Big
upon the point. With cheer of triumph
the excited sportsmen leaped ashore. and
fastening rope around the dead alligator
speedily lowed him to Enterprise. There
the original slayer awaited them upon the
wharf. When Big Ben was laid upon the
shore, opening the animals mighty jaws he
disclosed his visiting card, and thanked
them most politely for their kindness in
bringing his gator home for him.-Clarence
B. Moore in November ST. Nicholas.
