ciated that comment al this time is unnec-
essary, They are importers and dealers in
all kinds of hardware, comprising axes,
shovels, spades. bolts, screws, nuts, hinges
and rivets; also, saws and tools of every
description, every approved kind of lock,
planes, mills, oilers, wheel barrows,
wrenches, twine, rope, betting, wire. rakes,
scythes, and in fact every article to be pur-
chased in first-class hardware establish

at their exhibit and store.
The exhibit of Mohr & Yoerk is a con-
slant attraction to those interested in the
importance of home industry This we'll
known firm has one of the most prominent
and successful establishments upon the
Pacific coast In the business of pork
packing there is no firm in California that
can compare with it in the extent of trade
or the volume of business transacted.
Their unrivaled success has compelled the
remodeling and extension of their works,
and while thus acquiring additional space,
they have also made valuable Improvements
in the method of their work, by which
economy is gained and increased superior
ity of productions effected. They have
now an establishment which is q model of
neatness. By the new process they render
all their lard by steam, and with the same
agency run all the machinery. Pork
packing is specially With the firm. Their
smoked meats are not to be excelled from
any quarter, as they have had years of ex-
perience and avail themselves of the best
methods known, and the results of their
own extended experiments.
A. S. Hopkins d Bro make an excel
lent and large exhibit of their wares IN
front of the southwest conservatory in the
Pavilion. In addition to every conceiv-
able style of woodenware for domestic pur-
poses. they show fine examples of wicker
baskets, poles, tubs, brooms, churns,
twines, wrapping yarns and wrapping
paper of different grades, etc. This dis
play is perhaps not as artistic in appear
ance as some in the Pavilion, being OF a
class of merchandise that cannot be ar
ranged to show to as good advantage as
other kinds, yet, notwithstanding this dis
advantage, the large space in front of the
exhibit is always filled with people, not of
the curiosity-seeIng class, but of people
who go there to examine the different arti-
cles shown because they are directly inter-
ested in the hundreds of articles exhibited.
The firm of a S. Hopkins & Bro. are the
largest importers and wholesale dealers of
woodenware west of Chicago. Their house
to day is recognized all over the coast as
one of the best and most reliable Those
who visit their establishment, whether for
the purpose of trading or inspection,
always receive courteous attention from the
principals or their assistants.
Among the exhibits of agriculture and
general products from the various counties
to be seen in the Pavilion, those from
Humboldt county mage very conspicu-
Gus and highly complimentary display.
The great area Of fine unoccupied lands in
this county, and its excellent quality for
farming and horticultural purposes renders
the product from that section of special in
terest. Among the industries of this
county of apparently inexhaustible re-
sources represented in the collection are
fruit raisins, butter making. cheese-mak-
ing, grain, hay and seed culture, cooper
age, natural paint production, lumber man
ufacture, tan. bark production, patent shin
gle-making, taxidermy mining etc. Wheat,

tied in abundance. Vegetables are shown in
profusion, also canned fruits fevery descrip-
ton. Humboldt is also the home of beautI-
full flowers, specimens of which may be
seen in the monster bouquets, which, after
being transported over 800 miles, still re-
tain their freshness and beauty. The
geological euriosities, the articles of Indian
manufacture, the relics of the famous
hunter, Set5 Kinnan, the huge stuffed
grizzly, the elkhorn chair (ihtended for Mr..
Blaine in case he should become Presi-
dent), the dressed skins, the buckskin- suits
and other remarkable things found in the
museum attached to the Humboldt county
exhibit, all contribute to crowd the red
wood peoples department day and light.
