CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
The Central American Display All
Right-NeW Exhibits

Secretary Virgins is in receipt of
letter from Henry S. burden, secretary
of the board Of trustees Of the state min
ing bureau, San Francisco, asking that
the good people of this city and vicinity
be Informed through the press Of the fact
that the said mining bureau is loca led in
San Francisco and not in Sacramento.
Mr.. burden explains that letters, print
ed matter and packages are forwarded
every day from Sacramento, and that for
the two latter varieties the expense of
extra postage is incurred. Hence the
request made in the letter which con-
cludes with the statement that even the
postOffice authorities make the same
mistake, (which seems odd" 1t might
seem less odd to the mining bureau but
more odd to Uncle Sam il his gallant
henchmen were to substitute the words
San Francisco for Sacramento on mail
matter that passes through their hands.
Charles Bundscher, president of the
California Central American exposition.
writes that the complaints are erroneous
which state that the California exhibit
in Guatemala has been damaged by
water or otherwise Commissioner
Clarke's letters from there not only do
not coincide with such reports, but dis
tinctly say that everything is going well
with the placing of the display and that
all the packages from this part of the
state were especially well packed and
have arrived there in prime condition.
AS soon as the usual and necessary de-.
lays, that are attendant on all such ex-
positions, are over, and the display is
finished, 1t will be photographed and
copy sent.
New exhibits received at the chamber
are: tomato vine eighteen feet long.

CALIFORNIA OPINION
Helping Uncle Co1lis

Secretary of War Alger is evidently
growing too large for his official pants
and needs taking down peg. He has
undertaken to help out Uncle Coils"
to the extent of blocking, as far as pos
sible, the work of improving the deep
water harbor at San Pedro, and doesnot
take kindly to the exposure of his little
game by Senator e.-Watsonville

When I was still living man,
And ere the years of life were spent,
My fearful fancy often ran
On what would be my punishment.

In human form have sinned as yet;
And though suspicion slept l knew
That God would wait, and not forget.

and there are some good arguments in

coming more certain that If the railroads
are TO carry bicycles in any NUMBER,
whether as baggage or as frelBht, some
better means Of storing them must De
found than exist in the ordinary baggage

them waste a great deal or room, but
renders them peculiarly liable TO acct

this is not altogether satisfactory, Tor
