Good Words Come From Bakersfield Tulare,
Auburn and Newcastle.
Chairman w. NJ. Bunker of the promo
ton committee yesterday received from s.
w. Ferguson, manager of the Kern County
Land Company of Bakersfield, the an
nouncement that Charles F. Wilson and
George F. Weeks would represent Bakers
field as delegates, and that S. c. Smith and
G. n. Beal would be the alternates.
Mr.. Ferguson stated that he had taken
steps to get an expression from his fellow
citizens of Bakersfield in regard to the ex-
eursion and hoped to be able to report
favorably from them.
From ]. f. Madden, chairman of the
Newcastle citizens committee, an interest
ing communication was received. He said
IN part:
Meetings OF Newcastle citizens have been
held, and much interest is shown in the ex-
cursion movement. A Los Angeles Fiesta COM
mlttee has been appointed, as follows: DR.. Mar
tin Schnabel, T. H. Mitchell, William B. Gester,
f. ]. Mason and J. F. Madden. A committee OF
two-Messrs. Schnabel and Mitchell-wil pro-
coed to Los Angeles. The other three members
OF the committee will, as soon the north
bound excursion leaves Los Angeles, proceed
to meet IL and assist in entertaining theex-
cursionists, and to extend any required infor-
faces are again turned toward San Francisco.
Sightseeing and earriage-riding Will probably
consume all the time the strangers viii be with
us. 1t is quite probable that we will be bic to
distribute strawberries, and possibly cherries,
to the people. In fact, our part OF the pro-
gramme will be properly taken care of, and l
think we Will send away pleased lot OF people
when the visitors leave us.
DIR. Schnabel and J. F, Madden will rep
resent Newcastle on the permanent execu-
tive committee, which is being formed in
this city for the purpose of continuing the
present movement of advertising the re-
sources of California.
Continuing, in his communication, Mr..
Madden calls attention to the fact that
one-fourth of all the green and deeiduous
fruits shipped from California to the East
in 1894 was from Placer County, and that
the greater part of it came from within a
radius of ten miles from Newcastle
B. M. Berry of the Auburn committee
instructed Chairman Bunker that ]. w.
Morgan and ]. NJ. Fulweier would be the
Auburn delegates to the Half-million Club
excursion.
The people of Auburn will furnish con-
veyances TO the excursionists, who will
leave Immediately upon the arrival of the
train, and driven through mining and
agricultural country to Penryn, where the
train will be retaken.
A ]. Pillsbury of the Tulare committee
wrote that his people were at loss to
know when the excursion train would
reach that place. AS the train is an
nounced to leave San Francisco at P. M.
and arrive in Los Angeles at s A. NJ. he
Judged it to be Special and ''flier,''
and he wanted to obtain a sufficient delay
at Tulare to give the citizens ian equal
chance with Fresno and PorteIville to show
their good country off.

William Beckman, L. w. Pratt and R. J.
Cohen, and Porteryille will be represented
