native woods TO Chicago. which will enter
into the interior decoration of the Wash

According to Chief Samuels Of the Horti-
cultural Department at Chicago, all exhibits
from California will be placed IN bis depart
meDt in as close proximity 70 each other as

stanty supplied with fresh material during
the six months of the exposition.
