Interest in tho San Joaquin valley
railroad meeting at the chamber of com
.mercs on the 18th inst. is daily increas-
ing. Not only are the members of the
organization growing enthusias.ic over
the projsct, but Communication. re-
ceived from outside points indicate that
there will bs large sttsn lance OF dele
gates from other counties.
Fulton q. Berry. editor of the Fresno
Expositor. telegraph, that Fresno will
send three delegates. The supervisors
OF Kings county have already appointed
three delegates. and MADEIRA, Kern and
Tulsre will doubtlsss do likewise.
The question now is, will the chambsr
OF commerce lecture room bs lsrgs
enough to accom- odate the meeting !?
1t begins to LOOK as though larger hall
will have to % procured.
Colonel Holabird. who will be the
principal speaker. had expressed pref.
erencs for an evening NESTING, as he
would like to illustrate a portion of his
lecture with a stersopticon. and a fash.
light is not favorable to this plan. Tne
directors OF the chamber, however,
thought it would suit the mai ,rty of
the business men better to meet in the
afternoon. 1t has bsen suggested,
however. that both an afternoon and an
evening session be held. 1t is probable
that this will be done, so as to accom-
modate all who have desire to attend.
Colonel II )labrd will show m apps, plan,
and panoramic views at the evening
session. He will be in the city next
Tuesday to perfect arrangements.

MUSEUM EXHIBIT.
The chamber is in receipt OF a com
munication from San Francisco urging
it to make an exhibit OF Southern Cali
fornia products in the Golden Gate Park
museum, on the site of ths late mid
winter international exposition. The
cham Der ha' an exhibit Mt .hs state
board OF trade in San Francisco, but has
not yet decided whether to place one in
the museum or not, q, the expense OF
installing and maintaining credit ib.s
display is quite heavy. If one 10 at
tempted it will likely be made up, as
much as possible Of nom peris able pro-
ducts, as perishabls goods demand con-
slant replenishment, which can not be
properly attended to at this distance.
VENTURA COUNTY COMES IN.
N. Blackstock of Ventura writes that
the supervisors OF that county have de-
cided to make an appropriation for an
exhibit at the chamber during tbs year

be sent down in a few days, and will be
installed in the northeast corner of the

THE PRIZE ORANGES.
About the finest specimens of Wash
ington navel oranges ever received at
the chamber OF commerce have been
brought in by G. Winslow OF Highland.
In size. color. shape and flavor the fruit
is about as perfect Is can be produced.
Judging BY exhibits OF citrus fruits re.
oeived at the chant er OF commerce thus
far this year, the display at the coming
citrus fair will excel in quality any
thing ever before attempted in this line.
