JAPANESE RAIL WAY MEN,
Vice President ]. Y. Mori of the
Nippon Company at the
Palace.
A Journey of Rest and Observation
Will Be Extended to New
Yo.k and London.

party of distinguished railway men
of Japan registered at the Palace Hotel
yesterday. They arrived at Vancouver on
the steamship Empress OF China some
time ago. but were detained severa! days
in quarantine. The leading representa-
tive of the party is ]. Y. Mori of Toxic,
vice president OF the Nippon Railroad
Company. line running eight hun
dred miles northeast of Toxic and passing
through many large and prosperous
towns of Japan.
Mr.. Mori reports that considerable work
in the way of railroad extension is pro-
crossing in that country. The railway
managers still cling to the English style
of compartment passenger-cars, but
American locomotives are in demand.
Mr.. Mori was in San Francisco twenty
years ago, returning from the Polytechnic
Institute in Troy, N. Y, whore he was q
student for three years His present trip
was designed for lest and observation. He
will remain III San Francisco a few days
and then proceed by rail to Washington
and New York. He will extend his jour.
ney to London and will probably be there
during the Queens jubilee. He will not,
he says, attend the jubilee in a re presen Ia
tive capacity. but will simply happen to
be there during the season OF ceremonial
festivity. He is not sure that Japan Will
be officially represented.

already:thev can walk alone. They are
likely to be better fairs than have been
held in the same places for many years,
in view of the accentuated value which an
attempted abolition of them has caused
them to assume. Local pride, reaching
clear to the pockets of the patriots pro-
Tossing it, will havs an added effect. Peo.
pie take more interest in the quality of
things which they buy themselves.
The county fairs held in California in
1897 will undoubtedly be splendid sue
cesses, and the circumstance that the Gus
tom Is to be carried on, despite the loss OF
State appropriations, argues that the
country people have all the time been sim
cere in their en- joy mont OF its advantages,
and that they have the right kind of ap-
prec iation of it when they are willing to
pursue it on their own hook and at their
own expense.

COUNTY FAIRS.

Since Governor Budd went to the pains
OF denying the proposed appropria tion
for county fairs in 1897, which was to be
paid out Of the State treasury according
to long established annual custom, there
has arisen IN certain counties a conviction
deep and abiding that an omission of the
district fairs this particular year would be
in the nature of a national calamity. 1t
may never before have occurred to them
how absolutely indispensable those insti-
tutions are. but the gubernatorial edict
against them Immediately made prom
inent the fact that district fairs are as
necessary as the very air We breathe.
Nothing can deter these certain coun-
ties from holding fairs this season. They
will hold them even though they have to
defray the expenses out of their own
pockets or by county appropriations.
Movements are afoot in several districts
throughout the State to this end, and
