Dnring the past week the California
State poultry show has been held at Peta-
luna. Officers of the Poultry Association
were elected day or two ago ana +. e.
Byce, who is an exhibitor at the Mid
winter Fair, was chosen president Emory
Smith and w. II. Murray, the officers Of
the Agricultural building, conceived the
idea of removing the poultry show to Sun
set City. After consultation with the di-
rector-general the Poultry Association was
offered the use of Festival Hall for this
purpose. A ihree-day poultry show is be-
ing arranged and if a congress of the
chicken question is desired the poulterers
can discuss their interests in the auditori-
UNI of Festival Hall.

they came to secure space in the building

Napa is noted for its wines, and Solano
County has a rising industry in the pro-
number of bottles of unfermented grape
juice from Napa vineyard, the style of
packing greatly resembling that in which
olive oil is put up. These were duly in
stalled on the top of the ridge. with the
latest ''unfermented grape juice" turned
Napaward.
Mr.. Weir forgot to prov ide himself with
any bottles of olive oil. but be had lot of
labels from Joseph Woifskill's orchard.
Those grape-jGice bottles in shape and In
color OF contents looked for all the world
like olive oil Then a happy inspiration
struck Mr.. Weir. Soano should have q
display of lis oil; paste pot was pro-
cured and the SolanO side of Napa's ex-
hlbit Of grape juice bears the legend,
pure olive OIL" etc. 1t was some days
before Mr.. Wood could understand the
queer remarks people were making to him
regarding his grape juice. Weir would
stand behind the statue of old Solano and
laugh in his sleeve. Finally light dawned

That is why the commissioners from
Napa and SolanO do not exchange their

One of the dryest places of entertain
ment on wet day is Boone's animal
arena. Not that there is anything dry or
tedious about the performance. for the
show is overlooking with interesting and
amusing features. Large audiences occu-
pied the arena both on Saturday and Sun
day.
All the Indians of the Arizona village
attended mass yesterday morning al ST.
DOmiDlc's Church. After mass they spent
considerable time in walking around the
church, inspecting the affairs and pictures
and marvellng at the size of the building
which was the largest ever seen by many
of them. Many OF the Indians were CON
vsrted by Father Williams. a Dominican
priest. who has been for years laboring
among them. The white robes of the
frlars were consequently familiar to them.
One OF them expressed desire to re-
main until he saw one of the priests. He
was married IN the little chapel in his
native village about nine years ago, but he
thought he would like to be married again
in the big church.
a suggestion comes from the Worlds

Visit could be paid in the following man

term OF the exposition on which this ''pos-

son interested is requested TO send a pos

words expressive of some worthy senti-
