The regular meeting OF the Southern
California Worlds Fair association was
held at the rooms of the Chamber of
Commerce yesterday afternoon. w. @.
Kimball occupied the chair and Frank
Virgins acted as secretary. The other
members present were Messrs. Bundy,
Crafts, Jones, Fish, Wells. Mosher.
The committee on Worlds Fair litera-
ture, through Mr.. Fish, read com
munication from Mr.. Holt relative to
publishing one issue of the "Orange
Belt" on the resources of Southern Cal
| ifornia, to be prepared under the direc-
tion of the association, the same to be
distributed at the Worlds Fair in
quantities to suit the association. This
was referred to the committee on liter
ature.
Communications were also read from
San Diego, Orange, Los Angeles and
Ventura counties advocating the pub
fishing of pamphlet embracing the in
terests of the six southern counties by
! the Southern California Worlds Fair
association.
The committee on citrus trees report
ed the addition of twenty -four orange
trees to the list since the last meeting,
! and stated that all trees in boxes were
doing we'll.
| A communication was read from Mr..
! Samuels, stating that one acre of ground
in the horticultural department was in
tended exclusively for an orange grove
and that he desired that 200 large bear
ing orange trees be prepared for this one
feature. The committee stated that
thus far 234 orange, lemon, lime and
citrus trees, varying in aize from to IL
feet, had been boxed, but to comply
with Mr.. Samuels request and make a
uniform orchard. it would require at least
100 more citrus trees. The committee
also reported that the probabilities were
that Southern California would have to
furnish all the citrus trees for the court
display, as no report had been received
that the northern part of the state was
doing anything in this line. San Ber-
nardino county was instructed to take
up ten more large orange trees at High
lands. 1t was the sense of the citrus
tree committee that it would be unsafe
to ship citrus trees to Chicago this fall.
The committee on dried and canned
goods reported all the glassware filled
with display fruit, and also report
the collection of quantities of dried
fruit.
Upon motion of Mr.. Wells the secre-
tary was instructed to notify the differ
ent county organizations that it was de-
sired that an increased number of Jars
of display fruit be put up, and that the
jars used be the museum pattern.
The balance of the committees report
ed progress in the work. Mr.. Wells
reported that the trip taken by himself
and Mr.. Forester last month to San
Francisco, had resulted in much good !;
that the commission had agreed to pay
all expenses Of the exhibit made in the
state building. and also pay freight on
the trees to Chicago.
The secretary was instructed to apply
for 5000 square feet of space in the state
classified exhibit for the Southern Cali
fornia Worlds Fair association.
A committee consisting of Messrs.
Fish, Jones and Forester, was ap-
pointed to formulate plan for the hor-
ticultural court display, as it was under
stood the former plan could not be car.
ried out.
The committee adjourned to meet the
first Wednesday in October.
