A,PlfEMA found the internal ar
rangements so intricate
that be couldn't find anything-eyen the
wav ont again. But fair heroine named
Ariadne took pity on Perseus and placed
magic elew in his hand, by means Of which
he found the marvellous MinOtaur and re-
turned home in safety and with profit.
The application Of this little alegory to
the magnificent fair of country and local
exhibits now being held in this city is not
far TO seek.
The Mechanics Pavilion is the Labyrinth
and the public is Perseus. The public on
entering the Pavilion IS contuseu 0y lHe
very variety of the attractions, win the re-
suit that little or no benefit Is derived from
the visit. But THE CALL proposes TO place
a cleW Ia the hand OF the pubic, whereby
not vague general idea of the EXPOSITION
may be attained. but particular lnloIma-
ton on each or any exhibit as desired.
As already intimated In yesterdays issue,
a special night will be set apart Tor each
county.
Yesterday the idea was fully canvassed
among the managers of the different ex-
hibits and they were unanimous in its
praise.
They said it would prove an inealculable
benefit not only TO the counties selected, put
TO the public.
1.-The peOple." they said, don't know
what we nave here or what we represent
For months we have been arranging
these exhibits. with view of furnishing
UNIQUE object-lesson of the northern part
of the State and what 1t can do.
strangers and even many Californians
have notion that Northern California is a
cold, unpr0duetive section, where some
mining and some ranching is done, but
which is chiefly notable for wild scenery
and game.
The idea that it can produce fruit in any
quantity, that its lauds fairly TEEN with
fertility, and that they can procure such
land at reasonable rates for homes or an
investment, never enters the mind Of most
people.
I'VE want to let the people know the
truth about the counties We represent, and
now THE CALL is giving US and the people
grand opportunity
|Hitherto. although we cannot complain
of our treatment at the hands of the city
press, our best points have been summar-
ICED and We have been left TO the mercy Of
chance.
''The general aspect of our exhibits has
been considerably written up. but the SUBJ
stantial facts, such as every home-seeker or
man inteiligently interested in his own
State wishes to know, these have been ig
nored or lost in general description"
Monday Will be Butte County night"
and the managers of that cOunty's exhibit
are already taking special steps for giving
extra attractions on that evening.
E. W. FOgg, one of the managers, was
very emphatic yesterday IN his cOmmenda-
tion of The CALLS focalizlng movement.
Butte County," said he, occupies
unique section Of the country and offers
peculiar attractions for the settler and frui--
grower. That is the position. too, / have
no doubt, of almost every county. Each
presents a particular focus Of interest and
the only way to do 1t justice is to eoneen-

ION Monday night The people will find Us
fully ready to welcome all inquirers re-
garding the rich sections of country which
we represent. | may add that we are max
ing special arrangements for entertaining
as well as informing our guests Of the

So 1t WAS with all the managers.
The days already allotted are as follows:
Monday night-Butte County.
Tuesday night-Yuba County.
Wednesday night-Placer County.
Thursday nigbf-HumboldI County.
Friday night-Alameda County.
Saturday nIght-Sacramento County.
Secretary Culver when informed OF the
Intention of THE CALL to concentrate at
teBtion upon the counties singly approved
highly of the idea.
This is by all odds the most elaborate

eral inspection.

rate things, are particularly elaborate and
substantial in character, and / am Of the
opinion that they will all repay close exam

Casassa's fine military band will discourse
special music in honor of Butte County on
Monday night. and it seems that Butte
County night is likely to be full of interest.
Butte County people will be proud of her,
and other county people will take pride in
recognizing that such an euterprising county
is part OF the common Golden State.
Quite perceDtible advance toward CON-
pletien was noted yesterday in the Pavilion.
TIE exhibits are rapidly getting into
shape, and the space available is becoming
artisticaliy filed up.
Moreover. the people are becoming aware
of it.
Yesterday afternoon there was larger
attendance than On any previous afternoon,
and In the evening the hall presented
very packed appearance. All the special
tickets on sale were early exhausted, and
new supply had 10 be provided.
a number of novelties were on view, and
IL was curious how soon the visitors found
them out.
Among the centers of throngs was the
model of the new battleship Oregon, now
being constructed at the Union Iron Works.

The music was unusually excellent and
people were hunming accomplishments all
over the building. The intermingling of a

Norton Bush's arduous task is nearly done.
Altogether the fair is shaping itself
rapidly, and next week will probably see
large atteDdances daily.
