the proposed exhibit will be more COM
plete and with larger and bette. repre-
sentatlon from all sections of the state
than ever before exhibited.
There is another matter that the Board
OF Trade will be interested in. When Mr..
F!lcher and Frank Virgins, Superintend-
OF the Los Angeles Cham Der OF Commerce,
were at Atlanta, they met several gentle
men connected with the Pure Food exhibit
IN Boston. The latter were very deslrous
OF obtaining an exhibit from this State,
particularly in the dried and preserved
fruit line. One OF the gentlemen, Mr..
Bond, said that now there are more beans
OF California growth consumed IN Boston
than are grown in the entire Bay State
ana the demand is increasing.
Mr.. Bond has recently written to Mr..
Virgins asking what arrangements nave
been or can be made for California ex-
hlblt In the Hub. He offers space OF 40x
oo feet 20 feet in height. AS the represent
atlves of Northern and Southern Callfor-
MIA worked together and with such good
results at the Atlanta fair it IS urged that
the two bodies take up the Boston .propo-
sltlon and send East fine exhibit from
TINS State. Mr.. Virgins declares himself
IN favor OF the proposition, and belleyes
that such display will excite large and
healthy demand in the East for California
products. This matter will be taken up at
the next meeting of the Board of Trade.
During the past few weeks a large
amount OF literature has been sent all over
the State announcing that there would be
a California State exhibit held in Madison
square, New York. in May. Mr.. Virgins,
In recent letter to Mr.. Filcher upon this
matter, writes:
am in receipt of letter from Mr.. Bond of
Boston, wherein he incloSes a slip from q New
York paper, the same l incloSe. You will note
that it treats of California State exhibit to be
held in New York in May. He wishes to know
If 1t is a legitimate affair and whether we will
be in charge.
l pronounced it fake and an imposition, as
l know your board has nothing to do with 1T.
think the matter should be taken up at your
next meeting and thoroughly Investigated, and
the parties interested be compelled TO with
draw the name Estate of California" we have
had enough experience with private individ-
uals using the States name to further their own
interests. think our friend Budd can take q
hand IN the matter and put q stop to 1t. This
end OF the country is flooded with the New
York advertisements, and am beset daily with
people wishing to know who Is representing
the State and whether the parties are respon-
sible.
The advertisements mentioned by the
Los Angeles promoter are also distribute
freely in this City and the northern end of
the State. The principal ad is about the
size of magazine. The front page is
covered by cheap wood cut in dark green
colors. The most striking feature is
half-dressed scrawny female, and another
fer ale dumping a horn of plenty at the
thin females feet. The heading is Cali
fornia State Exposition"
In the list of executive officers is the
name "Charles H.Wood, California agent"
Who Mr.. Wood is and what he represents
as California agent Mr.. Filcher does not
know. The subject will be taken up at
the next meeting of the Board of Trade,
and there is no doubt but what Mr.. Wig
gins suggestion will be acted upon.
