WORLDS FAIR MATTERS.
PROCEEDINGS AT THE LOCAL AssO-
CATIONS MEETING.
Southern California Making Great Pro-
gress-The Business Transacted.
What Was Done at the
Executive Meeting.

A quarterly meeting of the Southern
California Worlds Fair association was
held today at the chamber of commerce
hall, President Thomas R. Bard, of
Ventura, in the chair. There was a
full attendance from the several coun-
ties belonging to the association.
Messrs. @. M. Wells, Frank Virgins,
Charles Forester, Bidwell, Bundy,
Crafts, Mcintyre, Fish, Mosher, Klokke,
Jones, Young, Kimball and Teal. Sec-
retary Frank Virgins read communica-
tions from Secretary Thomas H. Thom-
son, of the state board, on the following
points, ss4
That certain applications for space
have been filed, and advising that ap-
plicatlons be sent to San Francisco !;
that it would not be possible to have
separate county headquarters that
packages should be email and artistic
in appearance; that the plans OF build
ings have just been received; that the
exhibit will be largely from certain
sections and localities, and not from the
whole state; plimenting Southern
California on the activity displayed
here; in regard to preservative fluids;
concerning the preliminary exhibit at
San Francisco next winter; with refer
ence to the appointment of inspectors
that transportation will only be paid for
goods that go to the classified exhibit in
the state building.
c. M. Wells stated that he had read
the act and found nothing in it to pre-
vent the payment OF expenses for ex-
hibits in the department buildings,
where they will be seen by more people.
The association should consider this
matter very carefully. The southern
counties have not received dollar from
the appropriation, and should demand
their portion.
A committee was appointed, consist
ing OF President Bard, Messrs. Charles
Forester and w. G.. Kimball, to send
letter to Messrs Rose. Ferguson and
others, urging that all expenses be paid
for the transportation and installation
of exhibits at the state building, and
helping toward the exhibits for depart
ment buildings; also asking how much
of the appropriation will be allowed for
the general purposes of the association.
The resignation OF III. Vance was ac-
cepted.
The aforementioned committee was
empowered to 60 before the commission,
if necessary.
Mr.. Hall, citrus grower, gave points
as to the best method of exhibiting
oranges at Chicago; making a special
exhibit ef oranges before the general
fair opens.
Mr.. Young, of San Diego, mentioned a
palm tree 123 years old, which should be
located in front of the state building. 1t
was resolved that the state commission
should accept San Diego's proposition,
and pay the expenses. Mr.. Young
spoke in favor of exhibiting the South
ern California silk industry. Mr.. Bundy
referred to the difficulty he has expert
enced in preserving fruit. Messrs.
Virgins and Fish gave valuable hints.
The association then adjourned.
The executive committee was then
called to order by Chairman Kimball.
A majority of the members being pres
ent, reports of the standing committees
were made as follows:
The finance committee reported cash
in the hands of the treasurer, $1S42. rs ;
the amounts due the association from
other counties, $912.61. They also re-
ported bills audited to the amount of
$474 60, which they recommend should
be paid. pels
The committee on worlds fair litera-
ture, Mr.. Mosher chairman, reported
that they were waiting for the various
county organizations to decide whether
they wished to publish separate
pamphlets or join in the general
pamphlet, descriptive of the six coun-
ties. A majority of the representatives
present favored the latter plan. Mr..
Fish of Riverside, however, thought
their association would prefer separate
pamphlet. The matter was referred to
members of the various organizations,
with instructions to report at the next
meeting, definitely which one they
would adopt. The idea seemed to be
favorable toward using small pamphlet
and printing them in great numbers.
/ The committee on citrus fruit trees re-
ported the trees taken up in good condi-
tion. San Bernardino county reported
they would begin taking up twelve
orange trees, ten feet high, and twenty
six lemon trees, nine feet high.

to begin tour of inspection through
