THE WORLDS FAIR.
CALIFORNIA WILL BE WELL REP
RESENTED.
The Committee will Make Demand for
Space at Once-Localities Which
Will Exhibit.

California will be represented in the
department buildings at the worlds
fair, reports from Chicago to the con-
trary Notwithstanding. The committee
appointed by the Los Angeles county
worlds fair committee to select space
in the several department buildings
have calculated about the number of
feet that they will probably need, and at
the meeting of the general committee
Monday, will make out formal applica-
ton and forward the same to the state
commission, where they will be inspect
ed and forwarded on to Chicago. Most
of the other counties have made esti-
mates on the amount of space they will
want, and the probabilities are that
when our demands get in there will be
considerable cutting down of space, in
stead of no space being allotted at all.
for space ct once. July 1st is the last
day for filing applications.
The Santa Anita ranch has sent in
applications for space for exhibits in the
department buildings that will en-
brace over fifty classes, wherein
nearly every product OF Southern
California will be represented. They
make one entry of eight varieties of
corn, two varieties of wheat, three varie-
ties of potatoes, three varieties of beets,
etc., throughout the whole list. As this
ranch carried off the majority of the
medals in the several departments at
the New Orleans exposition, it is more
than likely that they will return from
the worlds fair with similar honors.
Besides making these competitive ex--
hibits they will make collective dis
play of the products of the whole ranch,
illustrating the diversified industries
that are carried on within the confines
of typical Southern California ranch,
Besides showing their productions they
will exhibit full line of live stock,
forestry displays, etc.
San Fernando sends word that she
will exhibit raisins, prunes, dried
peaches, apricots, figs, oranges, lemons
and grain, and in season send fresh sup
plies of deciduous fruits. Every locality
within this county could make SINH
lar exhibit if proper enthusiasm was
exhibited. Now is the time to select
certain sections of your vineyard
wherein your best grapes are produced;
thin out the punches and select the
most thrifty and we'll filled bunches to
be either dried for raisins or exhibited
in their natural state in prepared pre-
servative fluids. Fruits of all kinds
should be thinned out and properly
cared for until ready for picking; then
they should be gathered with the great
est of care, not even touched by the
hands, but picked with tissue paper and
packed in cotton or sawdust and sent to
the proper one selected to either can or
place in exhibit jars, or the jars pro-
cured and the packing done right under
the trees. This is the only way to se-
cure a representative exhibit of the
fruits of this country. Parties knowing
of any particular feature or product
that is worthy Of being exhibited should
report the same to the proper commit
tees within their district, where proper
attention will be given to the collection
and preservation of the same.
Where there are no worlds fair organ
izations for med, the matter should be
attended to at once, and representative
citizens placed on committees and q
thorough canvass made of every district
within the county, and people thorough
ly worked up to the necessity of doing
something toward having our southern
country properly represented. The
Southern California Worlds fair asso-
citation will issue their certificate of
membership about the first of the
month, which will contain thereon dis
tinctive features representing the six
southern counties. which will be sold
by local organizations for the purpose of
raising funds for carrying on the work.
This certificate, as a memorial of the
worlds fair in 1893, will in itself be a
feature worthy of the purchase of all
patriotic citizens.
Mr.. @. M. Wells will visit the citizens
of Glendora Tuesday evening, and Po-
mona Thursday evening, in the interest
of the worlds fair work.
