Southern California is rapidly coming
to the front and her advantages of eli
mate and other interests are becoming
year by year better understood. There
is no spot on the American continent, or
in anv other country in Christendom, 80
enjoyable to reside or sojourn in, in
winter or in summer, as is the valley Of
the San Gabriel Thie L
say without fear of successful contradic-
ton, and with the experience of extern
sive travel throughout the old world.
From George R. Davis, director-gen-
eral of the worlds fair: One of
my most pleasant memories is that of q
trip through your state dozen yeare
ago. l was greatly charmed
with your state, and especially with
that portion of it known as Souther n
California.
From four counties of that section
have come more applications for pomo-
logical exhibits than from all the rest of
the state, and the space has been as
signed.
Nearly half an acre in the building has
been set apart for bearing orange or
chard. Space has also been set apart
for all varieties of semi-tropicsl and de-
ciduous fruits, fresh, canned. dried,
crystallized; wines and brandies; al
monds, English walnuts, pecans and
peanuts olive oil, olives, etc.
From ]. NJ. Samuels, chief of depart
ment of horticulture, worlds fair: l
regret exceedingly that my duties in
connection with the department of hor-
ticulture of the Worlds Columbian ex-
position ut this time, 10 weeks before
the fair opens, prevent me from &C.
cepting your kind invitation to attend
your banquet.
As write there is raging one of the
iercest billiards. of the winter, which
naturally makes one yearn for the
balmy breezes of your sunny cline.
Having spent several delightful winters
in Southern California, I learned to ad-
mire the energy and enterprise which
her citizens possess to remarkable de-
gree. They were the first people on the
face of the earth to effectually refute the
opinion generally entertained that cold
climates alone are conducive to quick
action, physically and mentally. {.
From E. B. Pond. president chamber
of commerce of San Francisco: :.
am in receipt of your kind invitation
requesting my presence at the annual
banquet of your chamber on the 25th
instant, and regret that 1 am unable to
accept the honor by attending on that
occasion. You invite me to banquet
of California products and when con-
slider the luxurious productions of your
soil-the live, bright and energetic men
your members are made up from, feel
that am great loser in missing 30 en-
joyable an evening.
From Governor Murphy of Arizona: {:
1 regret exceedingly my inabil-
ity to attend, because of urgent official
duties requiring my presence here. :.
Arizona extends greeting and cordial
good will, however, and in a spirit of
friendly rivalry declares that it is her
purpose to very soon equal in quality
and quantity the agricultural and horti-
