A meeting of the committee appointed
some time ago to take charge of what
ever money should be won as prizes in
the citrus fair was called to take place
yesterday morning at the rooms OF the
Chamber of Commerce. No quorum
was present. After some discussion it
was decided to turn the money over to
F. Edward Gray, to be deposited at in
terest in some bank in the city until a
quorum of the committee should meet
and take action.
Several important communications
were received at the chamber yesterday.
]. M. Crawley, of the Southern Pacific
railroad, writes to say that he has in
formed the principal officers of the COM
pany in San Francisco of the intention
to maintain permanent exhibit in
Chicago, and that they have signifed
their intention of assisting in the en-
terprise as far as possible, especially by
carrying all produce intended for the ex-
hibit fsee of charge. A letter from the
secretary of the Santa Ana Chamber of
Commerce announces that meeting of
citizens of Orange county was held Tues
day night, and it was decided that
this county should take a hand in the
effort to maintain the exhibit in Chi
cago. M. j. Bundy and w. s. Taylor
were appointed as members of the
executive committee for Orange county.
w. G. Morrow, who has recently been
appointed in charge of the literary
bureau of the passenger department of
the Southern Pacific, writes to the sec
retary of the chamber asking for printed
matter about Los Angeles county and it's
resources, to be distributed and used in
various ways by the railroad. He was
supplied with several hundred copies of
the ILLUSTRATED ANNUAL HERALD and
of the Chamber of Commerce pamphlet.
j. N. Gibson, a former resident of Los
Angeles, writes from New Orleans stat
ing that he and his brother are about to
start on business tour which will take
them through all the principal cities of
the East, and he suggests that they be
supplied with printed matter about the
section to give to people who make in
quiries.
A letter from California on Wheels"
contains a request for more oranges.
These were sent several days ago 1t
also calls for a better display of corn,
stating that in Missouri, where the train
is now located, the few samples of corn
shown in the display are easily sur
passed by the local product. The sug-
gestion is offered in the letter that dis
play of fresh vegetables would, at this
particular season of the year, attract
considerable attention, as it would show
how much the California season is in adj
vance of that OF the Middle Western
States. This suggestion will be carried
out, and green peas, beans, cabbages,
caulihower and new potatoes will be
sent.
