Proceedings at the Meeting of the
Association.
The regular monthly meeting of the
Southern California Worlds Fair associ-
alton executive committee occurred
yesterday at the chamber of commerce
rooms, with G. M. Wells occupying the
chair and Frank Virgins acting as Sec
retary. San Diego county was repre-
sented by Messrs. Jones and Kimball,
Sap Bernardino county by Messrs. Fish
ana Gratis, Orange county by M. j.
Bundy, Los Angeles county by Messrs.
Klokke, Mosher, Wells and Forester.
Before entering into the routine busi-
ness, the committee was addressed by
Hon. l.. j. Rose, relative to the worlds
falr work, and especially the portion
that was to be done by the people OF
Southern California. Inasmuch as this
section has the reputation of being the
most forward, and has been credited
with taking the lead in every department,
1t stands this association in hand to
have the counties comprised in this or
ganizatlon work as unit, and to keep
In the front. In the matter of making
our exhibit. the whole display must be
made as one locality, but each exhibit
can be labeled from the district from
which it is made. This will enable
Southern California to make her exhibit
en- masee, while each individual exhib-
itor will have full credit for the part he
IS taking in getting up this display. Mr..
Rose assured the committee that he was
doing everything in his power to assist
them in their work, and would bring
any proposition before the commission
that they desired, and would see that it
received due consideration. He also
insisted on the feature of the citrus
grove in the horticultural building be-
ing carried out to the letter, as it was
something that would attract universal
attention in manner that no other
state, save one, could command. At the
suggestion of one of the members of the
committee, Mr.. Rose consented to make
tour OF the district and urge upon the
people the necessity of entering into
this work with more enthusiasm.
In the report of the committee, Mr..
Jones, chairman of citrus fruit and fruit
trees generally, said that San Diego
county had thirty trees of an average
height of eight feet, boxed and in gplen-
did condition, San Bernardino county
sixty and Los Angeles county twenty
six. He also reported that one party in
Highlands was negotiating with the
committee to furnish them with 100
trees, which, If the trees prove satisfac.
tory, will lessen the work of the COM
mittee very materially and enable them
to fulfill the requirements OF the horti-
cultural court exhibit. Mr.. Jones re.
ferred to the requirements of the depart
ment at Chicago relative to placing the
trees IN position as early as April goth,
stating that it would be utterly impossi-
BILE to transplant our trees earlier than
May 10th, in consequence of the un-
certainty of the heavy frosts in Chicago
as late as the date mentioned. The
secretary was instructed to write and
see If some concession could not be
made relative to this matter.
In the matter of displaying our fruits,
grains and nuts, the committee on
canned goods, etc., was instructed to re-
port at the next meeting plan for max
ing one grand display, in the form of
pyramids, crosses ETC., wherein the |
dried and preserved fruits, cereals, nuts,
etc., produced i'll Southern California |
could be displayed as a central feature
of our exhibit.
In the report of the committee on
mines and mining. Mr.. Bidwell reported
that he was negotiating for grand dis
play of tin and tin ore, and that he had |

mems of other minerals in the state.
