FIFTY SUPERVISORS WILL MEET.
A Novel and Important Cham
Der of Commerce Plan.
All the Supervisors in Southern Cali
fOrnia to Come Together.
The Coming St. Louis Congross-Com
mtttee on tho Citrus Fair Ap-
pointed - Big Attendance
at the Exhibit Rooms.

The chamber of commerce has hit
upon novel and admirable plan for q
Sreater concentration of the WORK OF
making known the resources OF South.
ern California and inducing immigrs-
tion, which will shortly materialize.
For long time the need has been felt
for more unified action on the part OF
the several counties usually designated
as forming Southern California upon
matters OF general interest to all, and
the design OF the chamber of commerce
is directly toward the accomplishment
OF that purpose.
There have been frequent occasions
when representative citizens from diff
ierent counties have met 10 an unofficial
capacity. and much has been accom-.
plishsa by volunteer effort.
1t is now designed to bring together
the various boards of supervisors Of the
southern counties and have meeting in
Los Angeles, at which they can come
into closer touch with their neighbors
and work together for the common
good.
This has never been done before. and
it is believed by the cham Der of oom-
merce that much good will result from
such a meeting. --.--
There has been some preliminary con.
sultation about the matter, and the
idea has met with hearty encourage
ment.
In each county there are some hold
over supervisors and some elect. The
meeting will consist of both the old and
new boards. the plan being to bring
them all together, and reap the result
of their experience in county affairs.
This will make total Of 30 gentlemen,
who will be guests of the chamber of
commerce during their stay in the city,
and for whom pleasant programme OF
entertainment will be arranged outside
OF the business of their stay.
An invitation has been received from
the trustees OF the Whittier state school
for dinner and reception there during
one day OF the meeting.
Riverside county will have nine new
and old embsrs, San Bernardino seven,
Orange eight, Ventura six, Santa Bar
bara six, San Diego seven and Los An
geles seven, these being the counties
usually grouped together.
The visitors will be shown the ad-
mirable work of the chamber OF COM
merce in this city, and will discuss ques-
tions of i'm migration, and other topics OF
interest to their section OF the state.
At the next session of the Legislature
it is probable that an attempt will be
made to have the state increase its
county allotment of funds for immigrR-
ton purposes, and this question will be
considered.
Secretary Willard of the chamber of
commerce is now engaged in making
preparations for the meeting, and invi.
tations will soon be sent out. The date
of the meeting has not yet been defin-
itely fixed. but it will be about the hrst
week in December.

Few people in Los Angeles have any
idea OF the resources and extent OF busi-

Their store in Los Angeles is merely q

From four to six buyers are employed
continually to buy direct from the mills
and attend to fpreign importations at
their Offices, SO to 43 Leonard street,

With great foresight they are now
selling goods at prices to compete with
the tariff-that is they are selling goods
minus the duty to make room for spring
importations. Mr.. II. J. Moore is man

The evening herald. [volume] (Shenandoah, Pa.) 1891-1966, 1894-06-13

A fall of a part of a ceiling in one of
the rooms in the White street school
building almost created a panic among
the teachers and scholars shortly after
eleven o'clock this morning, and caused a
report to be spread through the town that
the building was tumbling down.
As this was the structure which caused
so much discussion over its stability a few
years ago, it did not take much thought
| to convince some people that the report
was correct, although it was simply an
other case of eXaggeration.
The plaster fell in room No. 8, in which
Miss Hattie |. Hess teaches. The teacher
| had just left her seat when q quantity of
plaster fell upon her desk and chair, leaV-
ing an exposed part of the laths in the
| ceiling about four and half feet long
and three feet wide.
The falling plaster shook the building
and made noise which was heard by
the teachers in some of the other rooms.
In the excitement that followed one or
two of the other teachers said that just
before the fall they heard noise similar
to that caused by shot in the mines,
and 1t was suggested that the plas
ter had been knocked down by the
shock from shot fired in the
mine workings under the building This,
of course, added to the excitement and the
six schools were speedily dismissed, the
scholars leaving the building in perfect
order. Many of the children ran home to
tell their parents of the occurrence and of
course their version of the affair became
more magnified according to the distance
they had to travel.
Among those who hurried to the build
ing were School Directors Conry, Mul
doom and Hanna and Superintendent
Whitaker and after an examination of
the building they concluded that there
was no cause for alarm; that the fall of
plaster was due to a defect in the making
OF the ceiling and the piece that fell hao
probably been hanging by a slender thread
from the time the building sank little a
lew years ago.
The directors examined all the rooms
and the brick and foundation walls and
did not find the slightest indication of a
shake. They secuted the version that a
shot in the mines had caused the fall or
that the building had been shaken by
anything other than the falling plaster
The dismissal of the schools was severely
criticized
All the schools in the building were re-
opened after the dinner hour and the
teachers have assurances that the build
ing is not only safe, but that they need
have no apprehensions of shocks from
blasts in the mines.
