Expositions are still getting into line.
and Atlanta's is to be the next. If report
says truly it is to be second only to that
held at Chicago two years ago, and of
course they want California, and espe-
cially Southern California, to be repre-
scented there. Associated Press dispatches
from San Francisco yesterday referred to
the California state building its dimen-
sions and location as if it were an assured
fact, and mentioned one Mrs. A. c.
Dooley,'a lazy residing in Los Angeles "
rs the Originator OF the undertaking.
A little investigation developed the fact
that there is Mrs. Dooley, but she does
not reside in Los Angeles, at least not at
present. She is q property owner in At
lanta, and is naturally interested in the
exposition; she seems, moreover, to be
almost energetic and enterprising enough
to come under the head of the new wo.
man, and when she was in Los Angeles
short time ago she interviewed both the
board OF trade and the cham Der of COM
merce on the subject of sending an ex-
hibit TO the exposition. The officials OF
the former organization say that il took no
action, further than TO instruct the lady
to make out her proposition in writing
and submit II. Nothing further has been
heard of the matter by them. At the
chamber OF commerce Superintendent
Virgins stated that when Mrs. Dooley
applied there she informed the board that
two-thlIds of the space in the California
state building would be devoted to con-
cessions. and one-thlrd o the California
public exhibits. Under those circum-
stances the chamber of commerce did not
desire to commit itself, nor feel willing
to help aiong any private enterprise.
Since that time, however, the state
board of trade. which has been offered
5000 feet II space In a prominent place,
has asked the cham Der of commerce, at
Governor Budd's suggestion, to replenish
its exhibit in the San Francisco exchange
which now occupies space ten by fifteen
feet. that it may be removed entire to
Atlanta. The matter has not vet been
acted npon definitely by the board here.
They are waiting for the state board
to perfect arrangements as to space. rates
OF transportation, ETC., and the result
will probably be known next Saturday.
M. Virgins said thaG several features
could be taken out of tie chamber here
without hurting the local display, and
the expense would be nominal. He fur
Their states that Santa Barbara has already
expressed her willingness to be repre-
scented at Atlanta. and the principal
feature will be Elwood Cooper's olive oil
tower that was at Chicago. Moreover, if
anything is to be done it would be better
be done soon, as now is the time to get
the best of green and dried fruits, nuts,
grains, etc. 1t seems that when Cover
nor Budd made the suggestion of sending
the Southern California exhibit to At
Ianta, he made reference in the way of
helping ont expenses to the $500 surplus
that was turned in to the general fund by
the World 8 fair comm lssion. There is
also $1,000 that was turned into the gen.
eeral fund by the Los Angeles county
Worlds fair committee that might be
used for the same purpose providing
there is any way of re-accumulating
such surplus after it has once been turned
into general fund.
