the building up of splendid trade. MIR.
Trout has always endeavored to make

where III this city can better bargains in

Novel and Unique.

One of the most novel and unique ex-
hibits in the Pavilion is that made by f..
Kaiser of 806 l street. Mr.. Kaiser deals
extensively in wood, coal, gasoline, coal
oil and hay and grain, and he has CON
trlved to make one OF the most ingenious
exhibits at the exposition. His space is
on the main floor in the west wing. and
the exhibit consists of a reproduction in
lOg-cabin style OF Suffers Fort The
fort is built of pine logs, and the dimen-
sions are about ten by twenty feet. The
wall surrounding is made Of large blocks
or chunks Of Wellington, Seattle, New
castle and other Goals, and the effect is
altogether very pleasing and calls for un-
stinted praise and commentator from
visitors. The work on the roof of the
building represents tiling as nearly as
possible and the approaches to the doors
on either side are real Sutler staircases.
a sign above one Of the dOorways in
vites visitors to "come in and look outD
and everyone takes advantage Of the in
VitatiOn. Mr.. Kaiser has built up quite
an extensive business in Sacramento and
vicinity and is constantly branching out.
In his yard are to be found all kinds of
coal, from the lowest TO the highest priced
grades, and on account of the facilities he
has he is enabled to sell as cheaply as
anyone else in the business. Wood. gas-

Henry Cornell Il Co., through their

new and important exhibit on the main
floor in the Pavilion. In this exhibit we
find a fine display Of terra Gotta chimney
tops ana drain tile, also English and Ger
man Portland cement, Golden Gate
plaster and Marble Valley and Cave Val
ley lime.
There are specimens Of the lime rock
just as it came from the quarries before
being burned. Back of the rock is the
lime in alr-tght glass jars, showing it as
1t looks when fresh from the lilns. one
would hardly believe that fire could
change hard blue rock into a substance
so dazzling white and of such a beautiful
grain. one jar shows the lime partially
air Stacked. Another shows it as Stacked
by pIasterers ready iof the finishing coat.
There is also a jar of Portland cement.
This is a very timely exhibit, as there il
a large and growing demand for Portland
cement for foundations, sidewalks, curb
ing wells. reservoirs, water-trOughs, ETC.,
and many people throughout the State do
not know where to send to get it.
The firm carry eight different brands of
Portland cement in stock at their store at
500 and oil l street, but have only four
brands on exhibition: J. B. White Il
Bros and Scott's of England and Fewer
and Eagle OF Germany.
The plaster is from the celebrated

teal plasterers to be far better than anv
other made on this coast, and equal to the
