CONVENTION WILL BE HELD
NEXT WEEK.

Sacramento will be represented by dele
gates to the meeting on the 21st inst. in
this city, at which a permanent organiza-
ton of the Pacific Coast Traffic Associa-
ton will be effected. The latest advices
are that in the following cities business
houses have enrolled as indicated: Sacra-
mento, 20; Los Angeles, 40; San Diego, 10;
Portland 20; Seattle, 80; Tacoma, 20. San
Francisco viii have between 200 and 250
big business houses on the roll. This is
considered very satisfactory for a start.
The concerns are all wholesalers, jobbers
or manufacturers. According to the basis
provided for representation on the execu-
tive committee, that being one delegate
for every ten business houses joining the
association, the meeting in this city will
be quite large. Rating the total roll at
400 at the time for the appointment Of
the delegates, although it will really be
larger, there will be forty delegates at
least. The amount of invested capital
that they will represent will be high in
the millions.
A president, secretary, treasurer and
executive committee and perhaps other
officers will be elected for the permanent
association. The executive committee of
the temporary association will submit
report concerning what has been accom-
business in San Francisco will probably
be represented at the st. Louis meeting
Of the Interstate Commerce Commission
about as follows: Hardware and metal
trade, w. r. Wheeler of Holbrook, Mer-
rill & Stetson; A G. Rulofson of Baker
q Hamilton; Charles F. Tay of the George
H. Tay Company; A. L. Scott of Miller,
Sloss & Scott. Probably Bruce Hayden
Of the New York house of Dunham Car
rigan & Hayden Company will also at
tend. Groceries will be represe ented by
II. D. Loveland, chairman Of the execu-
tive committee Of the temporary organi-
zation Of the Pacific Coast Traffic Asso-
ciation, and also by witnesses whom 1t
may be considered advisable to summon.
The drug trade will be represented by
either l. Guggenheim or Henry Michaels
president of the Langley & Michaes Cons
pany; the paper trade by Arthur Towne
or L. Bonestell.. The cities of Tacoma
Seattle, Portland, Los Angeles and San
Diego may also send representatives Of
their various interests to st. Louis, so
that the coast delegation will be OF fair
