An important matter connected with
the Sacrameto Food Exposition, which
opens next Saturday evening at Ar
mory Hail, to continue all through
next week, is the liberal action Of the
Southern Pacific Company in making
excursion rates for out-of- town visitors
to the exposition. General Passenger

to your Food Exposition possible and
