mentO to Folsom and return will be 81.
Tickets to be purchased on the train
on presentation of this card
Ladies are not expected"
The Sacramento Chamber Of Com
merce is going to lend its influence to
make the affair a success, as much de-
pends on the impressions received by
visitors from other counties whether
the next Legislature will continue the
plant and the bureau, there being
tremendous fight made against it by
the big San Francisco contractors and
others, with whose immense profits the
cheap rock viii very materially inter
fere, as it will cost the people much less
TO build their roads than in the past.
The success Of the plant means also
more for Sacramento than any other
one part Of the State.
The explanation of why ladies are
not expected is that the convicts will
necessarily be at work on the plant, and
ladies are not admitted to the prison
grounds when the cOnvicts are at work.
The invitations have been necessarily
limited, as only accommodations have
been provided for those specially in
terested, and invitation cards must be
presented before getting on the train.
The lunch is provided at the expense
cf the Bureau Of Highway Commission
ers, but the expense of the train will be
met by the sale Of tickets to the in
Yited guests.
