The Midwinter Fair Commissioners for
Humboldt County have reconciled the
differences of opinion among the citizens
of that county in regard to their exhibit
and have secured funds necessary for
erecting suitable building and making a
satisfactory display. When the committee
started out they were told that contribu-
tions would depeD largely on whether or
not the county building was bOna-fide
Humb boldt product, constructed of Hum
boldt redwood and by Humboldt wOrkmen
as far as possible. The committee was
thoroughly in favor of such an arrange
ment. and the contribution of days labor
by Humboldt workmen was asked with
that understanding.
The first proposition was that Humboldt
from mammoth redwood logs, but this
proposition did not become popular. for
the ieople of the county desired to attract
attention, not only to their forests and big
trees, but TO the great advancement they
have made in lumber manufacturing.
humboldt County. with her numerous saw
mills. planning and finishing mills, and
shingling mills, proposes to erec; build
Ing which will, In the best ana most con-
yincing manner. show visitors the beauty
and merits of redwood as a lumber for
construction and finish. This idea was
adopted and plans for such structure are
now in the the city and in the hands Of
contractors. 1t will be erected in suitable
location and will be the redwood build

work on all the county buildings and
their exhibits ls rapidly progressing. The
indications point to q very complete and
comprehensive exhibit not alone of the
natural resources but the intellectual as
well. Santa Cruz County has already
taken the lead in the matter of county
educational exhibits. The children of the
schools of Santa Cruz will exhibit their
handlwork In very interesting and we'll
arranged display in the county building.
In addition TO the regular school work the
children have prepared souvenirs of Santa
Cruz to be given away to Eastern visitors.
These consist of dainty little booklets Of
four pages, to which are attached sea-
weeds. ferns. wild flowers, grains, bits Of
native wood or other things rowing
native growths in Santa Cruz County. The
booklets are properly inscribed, owing
whence they come, and daintily tied with
ribbons. These souvenirs include also
cards Of fine native woods. such as oak,
madrone, laurel. willow and redwood.
others consist of redwood bark, star fish
and sea urchinS, one Of the latter being
labeled: IAN urchin from the Santa Cruz
schools"
