time" just for the accommodation of per-
sons who desire to visit California and
learn something about the climate and the
varied resources of the State.
This is not simply San Francisco propo-
sition. While the Half-Million Club is at
present San Francisco organization and
is taking deep interest in the proposed ex-
curslons it is not the old-styled take-every-
thing-in-sight representation of the city.
In less than three weeks over half the
executive committee of the Half-Million
Club will be composed of representatives
from interior sections of the State, and
thus prove to the doubling Thomases the
statement that San Francisco is working
for the advancement of the entire State and
the new. progressive California.
That the club is doing so now could be
no more clearly demonstrated than by the
perusaI of the following list of names added
to the club during the past few days:

The Citizens Committee got together
Yesterday after noon in the assembly-room
of the Mills building and disposed of
numerous questions. Several kilograms
were received yesterday from Sacramento
(this being the third LOTT, requesting that
some one be sent to address the meeting
called for that evening. Every member of
the various comm ittees was too busy with
a arrangements for the excursion to go, so
that Sacramento was compelled to take its
information from local representatives.
HIP. Sonntag, as chairman of the finance
committee, read the letter published in
Yesterdays CALL from the Butchers Board
of Trade, and exhibited the check for $3.50
which accompanied the communication.
Mr.. Sonntag further stated there had been
$3.50 in cash collected so far and that the
prospects for securing the $4,000 desired
were excellent.
A vote of thanks to the Butchers Board
of Trade was ordered sent to that organiza-
ton.
A communication from L. B. Woodruff
of the Los Gatos Chronicle was read. Mr..
Woodruff requested that Los Gatos be
added to the itinerary. This had already
been done.
e. B. Pomeroy, secretary of the Fabiola |
May Fete Association OF Oakland sent the |
following communication, which was re-
ferred to the committee on entertainment: |
It has been reported to US that the organiza- |
ton of which you are the secretary will make |
an effort to attract the people resident in and |
visiting the southern part OF the state to this |
vicinity after the festivities connected with the
Los Angeles Fiesta are concluded. Ii such is
the case it would appear that you would want
to present to them many attractions as
possible. In that connection l would like to
call your attention to the fact that the people |
of Oakland propose to give an all-day eut-of- |
door entertainment on the first day OF May. 1t
will consist of professions OF school ch1ldren, |
decorated floats and fower-decked carriages,
drags, carts, etc. horse parade, horse races, !
steepIechase. fancy driving and riding, burro |
riding, games and festivities. There Will be
lunch and possibly ball in the evening. The |
night preceding there win be bicycle lantern
parade, in which many of the prominent clubs
will participate.
So many people have signifed their in
tention of taking in the excursion that it
has been decided to open register IN room |
%, second floor, Mills building, for the |
names of those who intend to make the |
trip. Information regarding the details OF |
the excursion can be procured there, ana |
all persons seeking facts will be accommo- /
dated and have their names registered !
from 10 A NJ. to 5 P. NJ, on and after Sat |
urday, until the 18th prox., as the excur- |
sion will leave April Is.
Every interior town is to be requested TO |
SEND delegates, to assemble IN Los An j
geles, to assist in the success of the trip. /
No town or city will be allowed more than |
hive delegates, but as many persons as may I
desire to take the trip can do SO:
The object in calling for the delegates to |
assemble in Los Angeles is to practically |
establish bureau of information" re- |
gardlng every section of the State. This
bureau will prevent the drawing of sec
tlonai lines, and will thus be enabled to |
carry out the grand movement now on I
foot Tor new progressive California.
Arthur Briggs, as representative OF
Fresno, said that his city had prepared a
float, which would be shipped to Los An
geles and Santa Barbara. i'll order that the
people who could not visit the valley |
would have some idea Of its resources.
d. M. Carman was authorized to go to
Los Angeles and make advance arrange
ments for the excursion. He will leave to-
night.
The committee on local entertainment,
of which al Bowler is chairman, will
