been exemplified in the local activities
of the past two weeks. First came the
state convention of the Southern Caii-
fornia Woman's Christian Temperance
union, whose session continued from
October 9th to Sth, and proved the most
profitable of any held. About 10 dele
gates were in attendance, and their man
ner of rapidly transacting business was
quite a surprise to some unacquainted
with the advancement OF women.
Following closely came the meeting
of the Santa Ana Valley Baptist associa-
tion, which began at the Baptist church,
October 11th, with Sunday school con-
vention of the Baptist schools in Orange
and San Rernardino counties. The day
was spent in organization and discussing
the subjects brought before them by
able papers. Permanent officers elected
were: President, S. G. Annable, of San
Bernardino; vice president, q. B. West,
of Santa Ana; secretary, Frank Moody,
of Santa Ana; treasurer, E. S. Foote,
Redlands. Wednesday was devoted to
the young peoples societies, called the
Baptist unions. Their organization was
also effected, and oficered thus: Presi-
dent, j. W. Curtis, San Bernardino ;
first vice-president, Miss Maggie Kyle,
Riverside; second vice. e.president. Miss
Hortense Burton, Cotton; secretary,
Frank Moody, Santa Ana; treasurer,
Miss Nellie Fowler, Redlands. The
above, with Rev. ]. d. Rumsey, +. e..
Baldwin and Miss Katie Stout, were
chosed board of managers of the union.
The next day was given to the business
of the association.
Among the guests from other than the
dis trict were: Rev. Mr.. Steele OF Nova
Scotia, Rev. DIR. A. p. Graves of New
York, Rev. w. W. Tinker of Los An.
geles, missionary for Southern Cali
fornia; Mrs. Jackson of Los Angeles, a
home mission worker, and Miss Emma
Miller, missionary for Southern Cali
fornia, on behalf of woman's missionary
work. The work of the Baptist denom-
ination was shown to be in a prosperous
and prospering condition, and the ses-
sion of the association deemed most
successful one.
With the gathering of the Baptists
came also quite different element
those interested financially and other
wise in the races, which are part ofthe
Twenty Eighth District Agricultural
fair. H. has been demonstrated that the
holding of the fair and races at the same
time is exceedingly unwise and has had
a tendency to lessen the receipts at the
pavilion (where the fair is held) to a
large degree.
This annual display might we'll be
termed a manufacturing fair, as the
booths show articles in process OF man
ufacture or complete. The Los Angeles
Sewer Pipe association have combined
their wares TO form a pretty waterfall
which, when lighted by colored lights al
night, makes brilliant center piece
To the left of the entrance is the recep-
tion buoth in charge of the w. @. L. U.,
with "All are Welcome" over the en-
trance beautifully draped in white, and
adorned with flowers; it is the prettiest
booth on the main floor. Dried
and preserved fruits are seen in
large quantities, jellies and jams quite
tempt the appetite, and immense veg
etables and melons continue to Southern
California's reputation. Much time is
spent by visitors in the vast prairie
schooner, which the Pioneers have
erected to contain their display. One
forgets the p esent while admiring these
relics. In this booth is found the handi-
work of the Indian pupils at ST. Boni-
face school, Banning. 1t equals any
thing wrought by white fingers of simi-
lar age and greater opportunities. The
art gallery does credit to the artists OF
this country, and receives high praise.
Westover & Son, of Santa Monica, are
the only ones who have entered sea
shells and moses, and adjoining their
booth is fine display of art work from
Ontario-beautiful designs, worked by
pencils, brush and needle.

Educational interests are not forgot

election booths, where all adults are in
vited to take a lesson in balloting by
the Australian system.
A ballot box for the ladies was pre-
pared Friday, (adies' day., and 113 la
eies availed themselves of the privilege,

ticket-the result showing 40 Prohibi-

ty.four babies were exhibited, and OF
that number there were three pairs of
twins. Annie Eckel Lyon, aged 10
months is the daughter of the Pioneers,
having been adopted by that society.

ber of the ladies' votes were Joseph @.

There was no uncertain sound in the
temperance resolution passed by the
Baptist association. 1t was for prohibit
ton, straight.
The double reception at the First M.
4. church on Thursday evening, at
which time formal farewell was said
to the retired pastor, Rev. g. w.
White. and a welcome given Rev. Mr..
Vestenburg, the new pastor. was a
pleasing affair, with but the one cloud
of parting.
More paving of streets is being con-
sidered by the city trustees.
