the Worlds Fair.
A Lively Meeting of DeIegates-Rival
Placer Factions Cause Quite a
Little Breeze.

tons and eight counties in the lower Sac
ramento Valley have joined hands in the
grand movement to have the upper half
of the State shown to advantage at Chicago
next year. The counties comprising the
upper Sacramento Valley are already or
ganiZed.
southern California led off with move
ment OF this kind, and proposes to do all
IN It's power to convince the visitors to the
lar that that section is the California.
But now Northern California has become
aroused. and the result will undoubtedly
be bewildering display at the fair. in
which the entire States resources viii be
shown to advantage.
GETTING TO WORK.
Mayor Comstock called the assem- blage
TO order at III A. NJ, stating that repre-
sentatlves were present from counties in

PLAN OF ORGANIZATION.
Mr.. Wyer announced that the commit
tee to which was referred the formation
OF plan of organization was ready to re-
port. The Chairman called for the re-
port, and Mr.. Estes of Ell Dorado read it
as follows:
WHEREAS, We are about to commemorate
a historic epoch, the grandest among human
events, by great national exhibition, and
IL behooYes every American citizen to so
shape his action that the exhibition shall in
every way be creditable and reflect credit on
the American people; and whereas, Caiifor-
ma has been emphatic IN her declaration
tending to the belief that her efforts toward a
successful exhibit viii be worthy of her posi-
ton and her standing among the sisterhood
OF states, IL now remains that these claims
IL being evident that a great endeavor is being
made IN Southern California TO make cred
liable exhibit, we of Northern California
should IN no wise lag behind; and whereas
the reasons for prompt and efficient action
are apparent, and apart from the fact that we
should need no special reminder or incentive
10 90 all we can toward making the great eX-
hlbltlon success, there yet remains the
stubborn fact that unless we arouse all our
energies toward a successful issue, we are
IlkeIy TO lose much in prestige and beneficial
material results unless we do; therefore
ReSOred, That the several counties, proceed
ing IN unison under one general plan OF Or
ganiZation will be thereby enabled to reach
Tie desired results; such Joint action will
prove the more efficient TO the County Asso-
cation.
ReSolued, That we do now form a District
Association, composed of the several counties
here represented, with headquarters at the
city of Sacramento and that the object of this
association is to be largely that ofan Advisory
Board, invested with such powers and duties
delegated to it by the several counties, as the
growing needs and contingencies of the work
requires; and be it further
ReSOtUed, That the District Association work
be divided into several departments, as the
allotment OF sp-ce, transportation placement
and care OF exhibits bureau Conformation gen.
erdl superintendency of County Associations.
etc; that the officers of such District AsSocia-
ton shall be a President, Nice-President Sec
rotary and Treasurer.
On motion of 81. M. LaRue the report
was taken up Tor consideration.
The report seemed to strike most of the
delegates favorably, with the exception
that some of them considered it some
what indefinite. They were satisfied,
however, when 1t was shown that the re-
port was simply an outline of what the
organization should be.
Delegate Jones of Placer raised the
point that the association had not vet gone
into temporary organization, and there
fore could not proceed to consider the re-
port until such organization was eff
tected.
The point was ruled against, however.
the chair holding that a Temporary or
ganiZation had been formed at the Golden
Eagle Hotel meeting.
PERMANENT OFFICERS.
The report was then adopted by unani-
nous vote, and the association proceeded
TO elect permanent officers.
l.. b. Adams of Yolo was elected Chair
man by reclamation. In taking the chair
he thanked the delegates for the honor
conferred upon him. He called their at
tention to the fact that they had a great
deal of work ahead of them. The officers
OF an organization could not do all the
work unless assisted by the members.
He urged them to enthuse themselves on
the subject of the Worlds Fair, and pre-
dicted that if they would, Northern Cali
fornia would be 'in it, at Chicago.
III. NJ. LaRue was elected Vice resi-
dent.
C. f. Wyer of Solano was the unapi-
NOUS choice for Secretary, and w. W.
Greer of Sacramento Treasurer.
The Committee on Constitution and
bylaws, appointed at the last meeting.
was called upon for a report, but was not
ready. so a recess was taken until /
o'clock in order that the report might be
finished.
NAMING THE BABY.
In the afternoon the committee had
4 II 80 4e,.,- III L
pleted 1t. 1t was decided by the associa-
ton, however, to proceed with the COLI
slderation of the report so far as it had
been completed, and to take up the sec
tionS seriatim.
The first section was in reference to the
name of the new association. The name
suggested by the committee was not
satisfactory, and a long discussion fol-
lowed
1t was suggested by Mr.. LaRue that.
lnasmuch as other counties in the Upper
Sacramento Valley had organized into
districts, 1t would be proper for the
counnes represented at the meeting TO
organize as the Worlds Fair Association
OF the Lower Sacramento Valley.
Mr.. Jonesiof Placer made motion that
that be the name of the association.
Mr.. Thorpe objected to this, as the foot
hill counties We're not in the valley
properly, and il would not be fair to class
their products as from the valley.
An amendment was offered that the
name be the Worlds Fair Association
of the Lower Sacramento Valley and
Contiguous Foothin Countess This
was not satisfactory, and neither was
the title the Central California Worlds
Fair District"
STATE COMMISSION CRITICISED.
Mr.. Lubin objected to sectionalism. He
did not believe IN showing the people at
Chicago that one section of the State was
