were appr cached and the consequence is
that there is $4,000 already subscribed or
IN sight, and the committee expects to
raise the amount to $4,000 before 1T is done.
That sum, with which to buy displays,
| in addition to the sic, 900 or $l5. 900 worth
of exhibits that we're already in the cham
Der, will make a display from this section
in the state building of twice the value
of the money subscribed. and California
people may be justly proud OF their ex-
hibit. The transportation both ways has
been given. and as so many people, north
erners as well as southerners. want to
go, the railroad companies are figuring
to make round-trip rate for the regular
fare one way.
The affable. reliable and most efficient
superintendent of the cham Der, Mr.. Franz
Virgins. who proved his mettle so con-
clusiveiy at the Colum ban exposition in
Chicago, and again at'the midwinter far
in San Francisco, will go to atlanta to
take care of the display there. He will
have the entire charge OF the county ex-
hibit and the general oversight of all the
other exhibits in the California building
as well. Mr.. Virgins will leave this even
ing via the Santa Fe route, accom- npanied
by Mrs. Virgins, who will aid her hus-
band as ably now as she has done in
the past.
Mr.. Charles D. Wilson also goes today
to help Mr.. Virgins in placing the dis
play as he did those in Chicago and San
Francisco.
There will be four carloads of stuff al
together; two OF miscellaneous exhibits
and two of fruits-principally ORANGES
and they will be hauled by the Southern
Pacific company. One of the miscellane
Gus carloads starts today the first of the
fruit cars will be sent later in the week.
and the other two cars will pull out to
reach there little nearer the time for
opening, September 18th.
The exterior of the state building will
be, as has been stated. after the Mission
style OF architecture. In the interior the
color scheme will be that of the chamber,
white and gold. and besides the materials |
to be found there for use in decorating, |
Mr.. Virgins is taking with him 800 cat |
tails and Spanish moss and date palm
branches galore. J. Anthony German. |
whose wonderful success in transforming
Hazards pavilion into u thing of beauty
for the citrus fair last spring, will have
entiIe charge of decorating the state
building at Atlanta. of which he is part
owner.
The Los Angeles county display will
occupy between two and three thousand
feet III the middle of the building, and
the present plan is to have repetition
of the electric tower that was used so
effectively at the citrus fair, with
ground work of oranges in the center.
Around that there will he the large fig
ure pieces taken from the bamber-the
dried fruit kiosk or obelisk, thirteen feet
high, the Rowland (Pomona) olive tow
or, the model irrigatlng farm. two revolv-
ing albums and q pyramid of fruit in
< lass (San Bernardino), deciduous and
citrus fruits preserved in glass. on table
m ade in three tiers. with a thirty-five-
foot pyramid in the center; an octagonal
pyramid displaying wine that has boen
by the local wine merchants;

to twenty feet high, Egyptian corn in
husk, and new corn in tho ear: cry stall
lized fruits from the Bishop L. Barnard
and Densmore factories; vegetables, wal

men and Mrs. Eansing'i, silk culture;
an exhibit of ornamental wood, in which
slabs of highly polished orange. lemon.
pepper and eucalyptus will be shown;
small educational exhibit of drawings
taken from the best of the school work,
together with photographs of the ormal

large display of every kind of fresh
fruit especially oranges. which will prob
ably strike the southerners as unique at
this season OF the year, especially in
view of their own late lamentsd freezs
last season.

laneous printed matter about Southern
