The record-union., 1894-10-24

that Calaveras County had withdrawn
from this board. and l would like to ask
captain Messenger what truth there is in
that?
captain Messenger-I have been very
busy and have paid very little attention
10 the actions of the board. One OF the
members OF our Board OF Supervisors
happened TO bein the city while you were
moving and came down TO see the ex-
mott tie inquired of the first man he
met where the Calaveras exhibit was to
be placed. He was told that Calaveras
had no exhibit: this he thought was a
Snane, but no one seemed to know any
ihlhg about 1t. He reported this To the
board OF Supervisors, who were put out
( 10 IND that, after ali they had put into the
concern, they should have no place in the
exhibit rooms, but they paid up TO July.
Mf. Ielong-Calaveras County occu-
pies the best exhibit space in these rooms,
ana II there Is any misunderstanding OF
this by the Board of Supervisors they
should be informed.
captain Messenger-W I went to
see the board this man. who had been
here, told Inc about it. They paid Sl35
the last time, and to these old moss back
counties SI35 IS d pretty big bill. | went
around anu saw several mem berS OF the
board and wanted Ia know what | should

amount than large one. There mas been
no resolution passed to withdraw from

l.lr, A a.
tn come 10 tAIS meeting, as my time is
greatly taken up. l am interested in the
C'win mines, and devote most OF my time
thereto.
Colonel Irish-I come here two or three
times week and find three things that
attract great attention-the wheel, the
electric appliances and the mining eX-
hIbIt. The people are interested in min
Ing and notice this exhibit. | have a high
opinion OF Calaveras myself | put in
$1,000 there and have a great respect for
the county. l see that this board is con-
tlnually abused because of its connection
with the Southern Pacific Company. The
newspapers have taken up the subject,
and the relations of the board with tho
southern Paclhc Company are freely dis
cussed. In consideration of this | think
the company should give US some passes.
MIR. Lelong-A gentleman is hers who
would like to speak TO this board about
the international exposition to be held i'll
Mexico next year, and | would like to
have the board give him few minutes To
talk on the subject. Gentlemen, l intro
duce to you Mr.. Quarre.
Emile guarre-l have received some
letters from gentleman who is now in
Mexico working for an international
exposition to be held in the City OF
Mexico in 1895. WI nile in Mexico he
noticed that California fruits and wines
10 III a
very strange that California, being so
near, should have none OF her products
there. The wines are imported from
France and Germany, and the fruits
raiSInS and other dried fruIts-come from
Spain. He wanted me to see the State
Board of Trade to get them to induce the
people TO send some fruits over there as
they do to London and New York. |
have this proposition TO make: 1t might
be good thing TO rent room on one of
the principal streets OF Mexico and have
permanent exhibit there, something
like this one on a smaller scale. / hope,
also, that California will send a few car
loads of fruit to Mexico for this eXuo-
sition.
MIR. Mills wished to know if there was
any duty 10 be paid on California fruits
shipped into Mexico, and the Secretary
promised 70 look the matter up and Sc
cure the desired information.
Colonel IrIsh-The special interest
would be our wines; we are specially in
terested in securing a market for our
wines. I am told that the people further
south are particularly fond of our wine,
that it pieases the palates Of the people OF
Guatemala ana Central America, and [
should think the same taste would mani
fest itself in Mexico. We desire to find
wider market for our wines. Your sug-
gestion is Of very great Importance TO our
wine men, and am OF the opinion that
it will secure trade
Mr.. Mills-I move that the subject of
the International Exposition be taken
up with the State Board OF Horticulture
the State Board of Agriculture and the
State Board of Niticulture, and that the
Secretary be instructed to invite the Off
GERS of these organizations 10 meet with
us at our next meeting to consider this
subject. l think we ought to ask the
State for an appropriation TO make an eX-
