The con figuration of the country makes
the utilization cheap aud the TRANSMISSION
easy, and power can be generated to sup
ply all the lights, run all the street cars
and locomotives and drive all the ma

needed in the State, and the waters which
generate this force will have still more
beneficent use, which utilization for OBJ

which drive the wheels of distant cars

There are two reasons why The Eastern
manufacturers Will not Tor long time
lose control of the bulk of the trade of this
coast. The first IS that California needs
the Eastern markets and looks 10 them to
dispose OF her products. This State is n
no condition to declare a boycott' on
Eastern products, and the idea OF doing
so was never seriously entertained. The
other reason why Eastern manufacturers
viii hold their Pacific Coast trade is that
they believe III advertising their wares.
Their goods sell here because they are
known, and the daily and weekly press of

LlBERATrs BAND.
A Grand Musical Feature with Ringling
Bros. Big Circus.

A Grand Musical Feature with Ringing
Bros. Big Circus.
High class music has ALWAYS been
an important feature of Ringling
Bros. Worlds Greatest Shows.
Those who have attended the exhibit
tions of this great amusement enter
prise in the past have always &C.
corded to it the leading place among
all others in this respect. In study
ing the popular taste Ringing Bros.
have always been quick to appre-
ciate the effect of melody upon great
audiences. and they have never
failed to meet public expectation in
this regard. This season they con-
ceived the idea of combining with
their vast exhibition, a musical fea-
ture SO grand, SO greatly above any,
thing of the kind ever before at
tempted. as to mark a distinct era
in the annals of amusement. To do
this it was necessary to secure the
greatest band master and the great
est band in the world. They have
succeeded. and now, for the first
time. the famous Liberati band is
offered to the public as a gratuitous
feature in connection with an already
stupendous amusement institution.
This superb musical organization
embraces 60 well known musicians,
every one of whom is a capable
soloist. 1t is under the personal
direction of the greatest of all band
masters and virtuosos, Sig A. Liber-
att. This famous director is a native
of Italy, and won many of his signal
triumphs in that land of art and
poesy. In recent years he has estab-
lished a reputation in the great cities
of the United States such as no other
maestro has ever succeeded in doing.
Under his magic baton almost every
great soloist now in this country, and
many in Europe, have been proud to
appear. No musical festival in
America during the past decade has
been complete without the great
Liberati. His remarkable power in
blending together large numbers of
in homogeneous organi-
cation. and his rare good judgment
in selecting class of music most
pleasing to his audiences. have made
him and his superb band the leading
at every imT ortant EXPOSE
tion in recent years. The interest in
the Liberati band is enhanced by the
addition of many especially en-
gagged instrumental soloists who
will appear in connection with the
big musical organization. 1t is
hardly necessary to say that the as
ISOLATION of Liberati's band with
Ringing Bros. circus. menagerie
and hippodrome involves an enor-
nous expense, but, notwithstanding
this fact, there is no extra charge for
the musical festival. 1t is also in
teresting to note that it does not in
any sense conflict with or abridge
the regular performance. The grand
band concert begins one hour before
the commencement of the show, and
is n separate and distinct entertain
ment. rendered by the management
to all who visit the great exhibition
at Davenport. Monday, May 1. The
doors will be open in ample time to
permit all visitors to inspect the i'm
