MEANS PROFIT TO THE COAST.

SANTA ROSA, Feb, IA think great
exposition in 1901 would be a most ex-,
eellent thing for. the Pacific Coast, as
well as for the city of San Francisco. 1t
would bring thousands of people from
the East who would take advantage of
the reduced railroad rates which would
undoubtedly be offered. People with cap
ital. would find profitable Investments
here, and while immediate returns from
the undertaking might not be forthcom-
ing, the final result would, no. doubt,
favor of an exposition and big one.
