FOR THE FORESTRY BUILDING.
Secretary Thompson of the California
Commission has secured two of the three
specimens of California trees which are de-
sired for columns in the forestry building.
A Sequoia has been obtained from Tulsre,
donated by the people Of that county, and
j. f. Cunningham of Santa Cruz has
promised a redwood tree. 1t is desired to
obtain for tie third specimen sugar pine
from some northern district, as the trees
must have a uniform diameter of 90 inches
and be % feet long. 1t was feared q SeQuOia
small enough to meet these requirements
would be diff "ult to obtain. The trees will
not be cut until October. when the sap will
have ceased to flow, precaution taken to
preserve the bark in its natural condition.
INN nj in n

hibitS at one-half the usual rates. The re-
duction has been made by the various traffic
associations and will apply to every class of
exhibits except fancy horses, cattle and
