ther appropriations as required.

question of making preliminary appro-
priation of 81 500 for exhibits.
The total expense connected with the
exposition buildings and grounds at Chi
cago is now averaging trifle over 81 ,O00,-
600 a month, or about $4,000 for every
working day.

square feet of ground space. Including
the gallery, there will be about 100 900
square feet of floor space.
Under the law passed by the last Legis-

pirate $4,000 for Worlds Fair purposes;
Alameda, Los Angeles and Santa Clara
each $4,000, and each of the other coun-
ties 81 800, making in all S545,000.
The exposition buildings at Chicago
will be dedicated with appropriate cere-

The Board of Trade of Humboldt
County has petitioned the Board of Super
visors for an appropriation of 5000, for
the purpose of making creditable ex-
hibit at the Worlds Fair. 1t is under
stood that almost the entire amount. if
granted, will be used in making display
of native woods and timber.
In the matter of collections for an ex-
hibit Santa Clara County is farther adj
vanced than any county north OF Tehach-
api. unless it is Alameda County At a
meeting of the California Worlds Fair
Commission, held in San Francisco
March I'D, Professor c. w. Childs. a
member of the local board of Santa Clara
County, stated that his county would,
without doubt, appropriate $40 900 if nee
essary, being the full limit provided for
by the Legislature.
The counties of Los Angeles, San Ber-
| nardino, San Diego, Orange, Santa Bar
bara and Ventura, composing the South
ern California Worlds Fair Association.
are decidedly farther advanced in the
| matter of collecting exhibits than any
equal number of counties in the State.
Each county will appropriate the full
limit authorized by law, which will give
a total OF ST. 800. The headquarters of the
association are in Los Angeles. A thor
ough canvass of each county is being
made and large number of exhibits
have already been secured. Thrifty
orange trees have been transplanted into
boxes. These trees will be taken to Chi
| cago, the purpose being to show an
orange grove in full bearing.
