HUNTING RELICS.


The Mission Here of Mr.. Lubin and
Senior de la Guerra.
DIR. Lubin, of Sacramento, and Senior
Don Carlos de la Guerra, of Santa Bar
bara, are at the Nadeau hotel. Mr..
Lubin is committee of one represent
ing the historic exhibit which is to be
made at the state fair building, at Sac
,ramento, next month. The principal
part of this exhibit will also be sent on
to the worlds fair at Chicago, conse-
quently it behooves Los Angeles, so rich
in relics of the early history of Califor-
mia, to be well represented. Every
county in the state will have an exhibit.
Excellent displays of the Indian, Mexi-
can, Spanish and American regimes
should be procured in this city. Mr..
Lubin has been very successful in his
mission. Monterey and Santa Barbara
will make grand and unique exhibits.
and the gentleman from Sacramento
hopes that Los Angeles will also come
to the front. He has been careful to
select nothing but what relates to the
history of the state. The municipali-
ties throughout the state are lending
valuable aid to the movement.
Yesterday Mr.. Lubin and Senior de la
Guerra called upon Bishop Mora and
secured quite an interesting ecclesiastic
exhibit, which includes the bell of the
San Fernando mission, which was cast
in 1902. There is every reason to believe
that it was cast in California, as it is
very roughly made. Fourteen paintings
by Indians, representing the passion of
Jesus Christ, will also be sent from this
~safxz Al u Lodi
of ethnology which is quite revelation,
especially when it is remembered that
the paintings were done by uncultured
and other plants.
The manuscript books written by the
early fathers have been secured, as well
as the paintings by Henry Chapman
Fold of all the early missions, many of
which are now in ruins, The history of
the drama will have place. Hand
bills, photographs and pictures are re-
quired. The transportation companies
will show the car of pioneer days, and
San Jose will send the archives of the
time of the alcaldes.
The United States army will be rep
resented by old flags and pictures, as
well as the flag staff on which was dis
pldy6u Iu6 uIbG AmcIlCah nag az 1uOu-
terey. There will also be press
display of the files of old papers. 1t
will be remembered that about eighteen
months since Don Pepe de la Rosa
died at Ventura at the age of ITO years.
He was the Oldest printer of the state,
and Seffor Don Carlos de la Guerra in
tends to make thorough search Of
Southern California for the first print
ing press used by him. He is deter
mined to get piece of this press as it
was the first one used in this state.
The exhibit that Mr.. Lubin is looking
after, will occupy the main arch of the
pavilion, which is the best in the pavil-
ion. People in Los Angeles should con-
suit Mr.. Lubin today, as he leaves for
San Diego tomorrow. All the space
will be assigned in the next four days,
so there is no time to be lost. The
state pays the transportation and the
exhibitor bears no expense.
Santa Barbara will show how bread
was made in the early days. Indian
girls will be sent up to make tortillas.
and altogether the historical exhibit
will be most attractive. Sefior de Ia
Guerra will also look after Ventura, as
well as Santa Barbara.
