Information was received that California
on Wheels" is in Seattle to-day, and instruc-
tiOus have been sent to the IN anager to see
the work well carried out. 1t is expected
that the car will do very effective work in
that section of the country. i'll spite of the
fact that they are short OF proper lite nature,
most of what they have being from the
southern part Of the State. The Chairman
stated that the car would soon return home
ard what il contains Will then be placed on
exhibition in The rooms of the Board of
Trade.
Mr.. Jones stated that the car had been OF
| great advantage TO the State, and lie would
| like TO see II keep going.
W. Ii. Mills suggested that the car be
| stopped at Woodland on its return, as the
! people there wished 10 see il.
| l. y. hlcc OF StaulSlaus said he found the
! people Of MERGED, Modesto and that section
| OF The country more than willing TO assist
! the board in its work. Mr.. Rice spoke OF
| the efforts made throughout the State to
| break up monopolies, and also said that the
| south had done far more to draw attention
| TO that section than the people in the north,
| and now One-halt OF the Eastern people be-
| lieve that all the climate OF California that
| Is worth having Is cenlered In Los Angeles
| County. 1t was shown that the raisin shi p
ment last year reached the vast total OF
|
more than half of this was produced in
| Fresno County. The first shipment OF
raisins. Mr.. Mills said. was made by DR..
| Smith and amounted to 500 pounds.
| John i. Irish said all the oranges and
! ralsinS planted in the entire State could be
| put into the smallest county. and yet no
| other branch OF Industry could show such
returns.
1t was suggested that the board issue
regular bulletins but no action was taken.
Mr.. Mills deplored the fact that the differ
ent sections OF the State did not work In
harmony, and suggested that efforts be maize
TO unite the entire State IN the work Tor
which the board was organized.
Mr. Irish also spoke on this subject, and
| said stronger efforts should be made for the
northern part of the State.
The Secretary spoke OF the efforts to keep
| mp the exhibition, and asked that measures
| be taken 10 draw more attention to The ex-
| hibit now in the rooms.
Mr. Greer OF Sacramento referred to the
efforts made in that county. The people
| there did not intend to fall behind, and viii
make a large addition to their exhibit as
soon as the fruit comes in.
MIR. Mills spoke of what he had heard in
regard 10 dividing any appropriation
made By the State for the Worlds Fair, and
offered the following resolution, when was
adopted
ResoEued, That this board earnestly requests
that any appropriation mads by tie State LegIs-
latuIe Tor the purpose of securing proper eXhDi-
lion OF the products Of California at The World
FAIR DO made under such restrictions as Will
make It impossible 10 any part OF 1t FOR sec
tlOndl PURPOSES.
james S. McCue spoke strongly in favor
of California on Wheels" and declared it
had done more for tue State than all the
newspapers and Worlds Fair combined.
He hoped the Stale would give $1,000 per
month to keep it going, and in order to
conform TO the law make Governor Mark
ham Chairman of the, board and let him
appoint the Directors.
Mr.. Caminetli said he had tried to do
more, but at present could only get some
minerals TO put on exhibition.
MIR. Mills thought the State would appro-
pirate 100000 for the Worlds Fair, but
under the present law California would
have to have separate building.
No other business coming before the
board the meeting adjourned.
