assistance. The secretary is to report on blanks to be prepared for that pur- pose any further applications for as slStance or advance of necessities or feed or seed, such applications to be considered and acted upon by the com mission.
 It was further resolved to purchase four car loads of alfalfa hay for the immediate relief of the suffering live stock in the distressed district. It was directed that this hay be distributed immediately by the secretary after con- ferring with Messrs. MeIander and Besse.
 A. B. Spreckels was requested to pur- chase the four car loads of hay and ship immediately, subject to the secretary'S $ orders, to Kings City.
 A. B. Spreckels, who recently return ed from the destitute district, explain ed that the most urgent demand was for hay for horses and cows. He re- marked that early in the season the farmers of the Pajaro Valley had sent in supplies of food for the destitute families in the vicinity of Kings City and that further supplies of bacon. flour and beans could be readily sent to the people who were in actual need of food His observations convinced him that the greatest need was sustenance for the live stock. He noted while driving through the district that the cows were so weak that they could not get out of the way of teams. Many of the far merS were dependent upon their horses to put in another crop; therefore. it was essential that the horses should be provided with hay in order to give them strength to work.
 The farmers who went to that region at the instance of Mir. Spreckels do not need hay for their live stock. as ample quantities have been supplied by A B. Spreckels from time to time. The big men in the live stock business can bor- row money from the banks to buy feed. so that vast quantity of hay will not be required. The leading merchants at Kings City have a list of the desti- tute and know the families actually in need of immediate help.
 II. E. Eppinger, president of the Pro- duce Exchange, received day before yesterday letter from A NJ Lawrence asking the exchange to contribute money to enable the Examiner to send car loads of barley and hay to the des- titute farmers. When the board con- vened yesterday morning the letter was read and the subject brought before the exchange. F. H. WheeIan. vice presi dent of the Southern Pacific Milling Company, said that the distress was not as great as reports represented it to be. He called the attention of the mem bers to the fact that the State was able to render all the assistance necessary. as Claus Spreckels had placed in the hands Of the Governor a check for s25 900. which amount was ample for all purposes of relief. The mention of Claus Spreckels' name elicited applause from the members. The soliciting let ter from MT. Lawrence did not receive further attention, as the members of the Produce Exchange considered that the subject of providing relief for the destitute was in the hands of a respon- sible commission appointed by the Governor of the State.
