CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
AN IMPORTANT MEETING THERE
THIS AFTERNOON.
The Plan for Permanent Exhibits in the
East to be Standardization to
the Local Exhibit Yesterday-The
Visitors.

AT 2 O'Clock tins afternoon the meet
ing of citizens and members OF the
Chamber of Commerce, for the purpose
of taking the initiatory steps in found
ing permanent exhibits in Chicago and
some other Eastern city, will take place
at the rooms of the chamber on Main
street. 1t appears probable that a large
number of representative men will be
present, and that they will be ready to
uphold their opinions as to the adj
vantage OF the undertaking with sub
scriptions of money to carry it out. Mr..
d. Freeman, who was the originator OF
the plan and first discussed it with
President Marvel, of the Santa Fe, has
been hard at work during the week STIR
ring up interest in the undertaking
among the active business men of the
section. His labors appear to have been
very successful Judge Silent, for ex-
ample, has declared that he will double
any offer that has been made thus far
in the way of subscription. 1t is pro-
posed to raise the sum of $1,5O0
month for two years. With
this two excellent exhibits can
be maintained, one in Chicago in
the hall in the Rialto building, offered
! by the Santa Fe company, and the other
in Boston or New York, as may here
after be decided. Every business man
4 and landowner who is thoroughly jim
earnest in the matter of securing proper
advertisement of Southern California in
the East will probably make an effort to
| be present at this meeting
The permanent exhibit of the Cham
Der of Commerce continues to improve.

made, to wit: Hoyle Bros, six dozen
jellies and jams; c. O'Donnel, display

The secretary of the chamber received
letter from Richard Gird in which he
urged the chamber to take action in sup
port of the beet sugar industry. He
says that it has been clearly demon
strated that Southern California is, of
all sections of the Union, the one best
fitted to the growth of the beet and the
manufacture of sugar, and that millions
of dollars and thousands of workmen are
merely waiting for the action of Congress
to flow into this country. He says that
the passage of the tariff bill, recon-
mended by the ways and means commit
tee, will crush the industry in its very
infancy, and that Southern California
will be much the loser thereby. The
matter will be taken under consideration
at the next meeting of the chamber.
The Board of Directors has already sent
a protest to Representative Vandever.
