fornia products in Chicago and else
where promises to be very largely
attended. 1t will take place at O'Clock

commerce of various Southern California
cities will be present to give the views OF
the people Of their sections. The ladies
will decorate the exhibit hall in the
chamber SO that it will present good
appearance to the visitors.
Additions to the permanent exhibit
continue to come in, and a large number
of visitors attend every day. In order
| to facilitate the collection of suitable
materials for display, the secretary has
addressed the following communication
| to j. w. Crawley, of the Southern Pa
cific, and X. H. Wade, OF the Southern
California railroads, with regard to the
carrying of exhibits free of charge:
The Chamber of Commerce of this
city has established permanent ex-
hibit of Southern California products.
We are receiving contributions daily
from producers along the line Of your
road in this county and adjoining
counties. Ii an arrangement could be
made by which these boxes of fruit,
vegetables, etc. could be sent into us
free of cost to the producer or to this
4 chamber it would be productive of much
good and would result in giving us a
larger display than we could otherwise
procure We would suggest, if ii is
feasible, that the products consigned to
the Chamber of Commerce be sent in as
baggage and that the station agents at
the different towns be notified of this
arrangement and that products coming
to them and consigned to the Chamber
of Commerce be sent to us as indicated
above. Very Respectfully,
ii. w. PATTON, Secretary.

times to grow at rapid rate. Yester-
day there were twenty-three additions
