fitably attract the attention or the
world by celebration of the fiftieth an
niversary of the discovery of gold. The
event is not merely historical or sent1-
mental. 1t is a practical proposition

manufacturing, dairying and fruit trade
of the State. Every man who visits
San Francisco for the purpose of at

the golden fleece on the Yukon, VIII be
a buyer of California products. We of
