La PORTE TO M REPRESENTED
An Exhibit VIII DC sent to the r..
r. md v. Festival.


La Porte, Texas, October GA special
meeting Of the Fruit and Vegetable Grow
ers' association was held at the Loinax
school house this evening. In addition to
the regular members there were a number
of visitors present both from the country
and town.
Vice President A. II. Carver called the
meeting to order and stated the object to

necessary arrangements.
d. A. Morris became eloquent in prals-
ing the success OF last years festival. He
said that this event was for an exhibit of
what the coast country could produce, and
that at time when many other sections
were locked in snow and ice. The exhibit
last year was a surprise 10 every one. Fa
voi'able commsnt was heard on all sides.
Strangers from the North were astongshed
AMI formed q most favorable opinion OF
south Texas. Our own people were
agreeably surprised that so creditable a
display could b. provided in an unfavora-
Bile season. 1t was unfortunate that a heavy
frost the night before the exhibition should
have prevented the anticipated display Of
the brief time for preparation, the citizens
of la Porte and vicinity sent gcoi eX-
hibit to Houston and took second prize.
That success should net as an incentive for
more vigorous work this year. This ex-
hibits at Houston were actual facts of what
can be accomplished in the coast coun~
try. For the coming exhibition speciality
was 10 be made of hay. and 1t is proposed
to prove that some Of our farmers may
truly be called hay seeds Tobacco Is

the real estats men are to be given cor

BY unanimous vote it. was decided that
La Porte should have an exhibit. A COM

Fletcher Wilson, was appointed to ascer-
tain from farmers and gardeners what ar

STRIKE OF PRESSMEN.
San Francisco May BE without News
papers for "a Few Days.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 4.-The press
mer employed in the newspaper offices
here struck to-day for an increase of
wages. The increase would amount to
about $4,000 year to the newspapers.
About seventy-five men are employed in
the newspaper pressrooms of the city. The
stereotypers in the Report office also struck
and walked out. The employees of the Post
and Bulletin remained in their places all
afternoon, but these papers waited for the
Report. 1t was $50 before the Reports
plates could be made at the Bulletin office
and sent down to the Examiner office to
be printed. At that hour all three afternoon
papers appeared and there was a wild
scramble for them by the newsboys.
The men in the morning paper press
rooms have been ordered out by the union,
but it is not certain that they will all go.
The pressmen count on the sympathy of
the stereOtypers to help them win their
fight and may try to involve all the me-
chanical departments of the papers. The
various unions held meetings tonight to
decide what is to be done. The members of
the Publishers Association declare that
they will stand by their agreement not to
publish their papers unless all the others
can publish, and it is very probable that
the people of San Francisco will have to go
without news during election time.
