PREPARING FOR THE WORLDS
FAIR EXHIBIT.
Meeting Yesterday of the Executive
Committee of the Association = The
Business Transacted.

The regular meeting of the executive
committee of the Southern California
Worlds Fair association met at the
chamber of commerce rooms yesterday
morning. Chairman Bard being absent
Vice-Chairman @. M. Wells occupied
the chair and Frank Wiggins acted as
secretary.
The members present were j. P. Jones,
San Diego; Phillip Stein, Pomona ;
Charles Forester, L. E. Mosher, E. F.
C. Klokke, G. M. Wells. Los Angeles.
Mr.. Jones of San Diego moved that
the committee on raisins and dried
fruits be instructed to issue circular
letter calling on each raisin grower of
this southern country to prepare a GER
tain portion OF his vineyard for the
special purpose of giving the vines an
extra cultivation, thin the punches of
grapes and select the best and largest
in order to make this industry one of
the finest attractions of the exhibit
Considerable discussion arose relative
to preparing trees, palms and shrubs
for the exhibit, and Mr.. G. f. Eaton of
Santa Barbara being present, gave his
idea of cribbing and transporting trees
with their own soil without disturbing
the roots, showing at the same time his
patent devise for the work, which the
committee considered favorably. Mr..
Eaton said he had just transplanted two
gigantic palms, the combined weight of
palm and dirt being fifteen tons each,
without the least detriment to plant or
root.
The committee on trees was then in
structed to ascertain the most feasible
plan for handling, caring for and trans
porting the trees and shrubs TO Chicago.
Hon. L. j, Rose appeared before the
committee and stated he would meet
with the state board of worlds fair com
missioners in San francisco the 18th oi
this month and would like instructions
from this body. He was told to secure
all the space possible for the display oi
this associations exhibits and also to
look after Southern California's interests
in the state.

pundit, philosopher and politician--by
name Col. Blanton Duncan, who can be
heard at reasonable distance whenever
the name Of Allen is heard in the land.
If eloquence, energy, fiery zeal, an ex
tended acquaintance and most pro-
nounced oppugnancy, can accomplish
anything with degenerate American
senate, then let Allen look out. Mean
while the statesman is not above ladling
out oysters to the more distinguished of
his male acquaintances; while, like
gallant Kentuckian, he is always at the
service of the ladies. With his studied
negligt, Col. Blanton Duncan, in his

work is in progress, and not only is the
scheme perfectly practicable, but the
trunk must be pared down little to
bring it to the right size for passenger
cars.
1t is of the famous Sequoia gigantea
species, is one of the big trees Of Tulare
county, and the originators and man
ayers of the scheme are Messrs. Doyle,
Meyers and Bachman, Of that county.
The tree is to be bored and sawed down,
according to the method in use, precau-
lions being taken to have it fall SO as not
to splinter; then out of the best part of
the trunk sections are to be sawed of
the length of passenger cars. The work
is then 70 proceed by making one side
fat for the bottom, cutting in the doors
and windows, then boring, saving and

THE uses of electricity are becoming
more expanded every day, and the
scientific discussion of the possibilities
of this wonderful agent is multiplying
apace. 1t is certainly not easy to say
what may not be done as the eager
inventor pursues his ardent way. A
few years ago we were treated to discus
sions about the feasibility of storing
electricity for the propulsion of street
cars, thus doing away with the unsightly
poles and dangerous wires. Thus far,
however, the latter have been found pre-
ferable in the active management of
street roads. We are informed, how
ever, on what we deem reliable author
ity, that, within two months, the world
is to be startled by the spectacle of car
lines running without wires, poles, sta
tions, or any of the paraphernalia now
supposed to be essential to an electric
road. There is said to be nothing alb
stract or speculative in this. but the
statement is positively made that cars
will actually be running by an unseen
electrical agency within that time. Ger
tainly, the world "do" move.

The rapidity with which conscience
can get in its work upon man is shown
in the case of DR.. Graves, the poisoner
of Mrs. Barnaby. This man made a
most determined defense, maintaining
his innocence on high plane; and,
when he broke down, he lost self-control
utterly, and confessed his guilt like a
whipped school-boy. 1t is the ten
thousandth verifcation of the poets
aphorism, Conscience doth make cow
ards of US ALL" 1t is to be hoped that
the tribe of poisoners will make slow
growth in the United States.

IT is astonishing what agonies our Re-
publican contemporaries endure now
that the Democratic party has obtained
it's rightful ascendancy in the state of
New York, and shows disposition to
redress Republican outrages of over
thirty year, duration. They ascribe to
the Democratic leaders of the Empire
state all sorts of absurd schem es, and
all on the authority of Matthew Stanley
Quay and other Republican tricksters.
Having accepted lot Of telegraphic
twaddle as true, they proceed to berate
the energetic and capable Democratic
leaders OF state which has been the
victim of Republican chicane for 80 long
. time that the memory Of man runneth
not to the contrary. All this bathos is
wasted. The constitution of the state OF
New York provides for an enumeration

state ofliciale. The Republicans

TIE extremity .of political virtue
which has lately struck the Republican
party is something to marvel at and
sympathize with. The Democrats
actually seem to have borrowed a leaf
from their opponents; and in New York,
at least, appear to be willing to look
alive and reach out for things, under
the mastery lead of Gov. David Bennett
Hill. Meanwhile, the grief of the Re-
publican press is elegiac and pitiful.

cadences could do justice to the situa-

THE TRUE PRINCIPLE.

The Southern Pacific railway has at
length concluded to accept the situation
as respects the meteorological conditions
of Southern California. When its track
was laid down the Soledad caf1on it's
work was grounded on the easy as
sumption that there were never anv se-
rious rains in Southern California.
This section was assumed to be
dry country beyond recall. 1t
is true that the confguration of the
section, its large water sheds and the
short course of its streams confuted
this idea to any engineer who should
pause to think. They all spoke elo-
quently of streams gathering quickly in
to impetuous torrents which would
sweep everything before them in their
mad onset. AS a consequence of not
having taken note of these things. the
Southern Pacific railway lost mint of
money in repairing their roadbed in the
Soledad canon, and they finally con-
cluded to reconstruct it in conformity
with the topography of the country.
They took it out OF the wash OF the
streams, and located it high and dry on
the mountains side, replacing their
former frail structures by substan-
tial iron bridges. The Los Angeles river,
also, has required much more respectful
treatment than it was formerly supposed
to need. That stream looks so gentle at
most seasons of the year that it was
never dreamed that it could be rebel
lious. 1t could, all the same, and its
fashion for making miching malicho of
bridges has long been known in railway
circles. The way it could sweep away
bridges, when so 'dispoged," to employ
an expression Of Mrs. Sairev Camp, of
happy memory, was something out of
the common. The Southern Pacific COM
pany have also latterly shown apprecia-
tion of this fact. They have just COM
pleted their upper bridge over the Los
Angeles river, and it is four feet above
the high water of that stream. They
are now at work on the Yuma bridge,
and it will also be four feet above high
water. The best, in bridge building as
in other things, is always the cheapest.

LET THEM COME, BY ALL MEANS.

The arrival OF General Palmer in Los
Angeles makes the first of a very dis
tinguished concourse of railway nota-
bilities who will shortly be here. The
General, short time ago, was the
moving spirit in the construction depart
ment of the Union Pacific railway. He
is now the president of the Denver and
Rio Grande road. 1t is an open secret
that that road is seeking Pacific coast
terminus, and the logic of the situation
points to Los Angeles as such terminus.
ANY road built from Utah to this coast
points straight as die to this city as
its objective point. In the old days,
before the Central and Union Pacific
railways had been built, the Mormons
obtained their supplies from Los An
geles, and not from San Francisco. This
city was far better known under the
shadow of the Wahsatch than any other
on the continent. Shortened distance
and easy grades explained this prefer
,ence over SaE Francisco. 1t will govern
railway magnates just as it did the Nor
mon trader of Salt Lake. AS the HER
AID has heretofore announced General
Palmer will not be the only high rail-
way official that will honor Los Angeles
with his presence before January has
grown very old. Noted gentlemen
representing the Union Pacific railway
will be here shortly. Then our Terminal
friends will he on hand
Gentlemen, look us over 1t is true
that the rainfall has been little de-
layed this year, but we have not had 8

that time we have had trifing wind
