CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA-
MENTO, Feb. 15.-Mayor Phelan, Charles
l.. Patton, Henry Crocker, John Lackmann
and j. A. Filcher appeared tonight be-
fore the Committee on Ways and Means
they have matured for the big Pacific
Coast and International Exposition, to
take place in San Francisco in the spring,
summer and autumn of 1901 The expo
sition of their plans was simply eXplana-
tory of. and secondary to the bill which
they had had introduced in both Senate
and Assembly, which binds the State to
donate $500 900 toward the success of the
big undertaking.
The bill was introduced by Assembly
man Cobb of San Francisco early in the
week, and it has. since been hurried
through the State Printing Office and
placed early on the file of the committee.
When the San. Francisco delegation ar
rived at the Capitol tonight they were
prepared to make every argument and
defend every point that might be brought
up, but they found no use for either
course. The committee was already en-
Unused over the plan and thoroughly con-
WINGED of its feasibility and of the i'm
nense profit that would come out of it to
the State. The only question was on the
form of the bill and upon the best in
stallments in which to pay the large
amount of money that is asked for.

OAKLAND is SOLID.

OAKLAND, Feb. 15.-Mayor Thomas
There cannot surely be two opinions as
to the duty of Californians to have
great exposition on this coast. The value
of such an exhibition of the possibilities
of the coast as it is proposed to make
cannot be overestimated. California needs
nothing so much as advertising. If people
will only come here there will be no
trouble in building up a great population,
for the natural resources of the State Will
do the rest. 1t is duty to bring all the
money and people to California that we
possibly can. l cannot see single valid
objection that can be raised against the
proposed exposition Of 1901.
George W. Arper, president. Merchants
Exchanged greatest necessity
at this time is a great exposition. we go
East and tell people of this State and
they Will not believe US. The only way to
convince Eastern folk of the truth OF the
claims we make for California is to get
them out here and let them see for them-
