WIRED THE GOVERNOR
TO SIGN THE BILL
CITY BUSINESS MEN WANT THE
EXPOSITION.
New Board of Directors of the Manu-
facturers' and Producers
Association.

Yesterday at the annual meeting Of the
Manufacturers and Producers Associa-
ton in the Mills building, it was decided
to ask the Governor by telegraph TO sign
the Pacific Ocean Exposition bill, now
hung up in the executives outer office
with a number of it's unfortunate fellows.
Messrs. Kerr and Mckee objected to the
exposition on the ground that it would
bring foreign-made goods in competition
with the products of the home factories.
However, the practical benefits TO be de-
rived from such an exposition in this
city, the great port of the Pacific, front
ing the Orient with its markets. was too
apparent to a majority of the members
present and the motion to Immediately
wire the Governor to sign the bill won its
way
President Sbarboro said that with the
three-quarters of a million appropriated
by the city, one-quarter by the Legisla-
ture and probable half-million from the
Federal Government the coming exposi-
ton would not fail to be a practical and
splendid success.
The Federal Government gave Omaha
and other places 100000 apiece for their
fairs and would certainly do as well by
San Francisco. If this city would be the
great port on the nations western sea-
board she must make herself known.
The following members, to compose the
new board of directors for the ensuing
year. were selected and elected unani-

President Sbarboro, in reviewing the
work accomplished by the association
during the past year in fostering protect
ing and up-building the manufacturing
and producing interests or the State, re-
ferred to the part taken by the associa-
ton in May last when the Government
ring send n the Phil
ippines. The task of convincing the Gov
ernment of the advantages afforded by
San Francisco as purchasing and dis
tributing point for clothing and supplies
in general for the use by the army was
inaugurated by the Manufacturers and
Producers Association and resulted in the
recognition by the Government of that
fact to the extent that, according to the
statement of the depot quartermaster.
there have been disbursed during the year
by this department alone between eleven
Work in this direction was not confined
to this department of the Government for
the efforts of the association were di-
rected to others. A representative was
sent to Washington who obtained con-
cessfons of additional territory to be fur
nished with goods and supplies from this
CITY, for the Indian agencies and schools
located this side of the Rockies worth in
the neighborhood of fifty thousand dollars
annually.
The Navy Department was likewise pc
titioned to enlarge the present scope OF
the Mare Island Navy Yard as distrib-
uting point for supplies for the navy, in
view of the increase of the naval eStab-
ushment on this coast.

AN EXCELLENT COMBINATION.
Successful Enterprise Based on Merit.

The few remedies which have attained to
worldwide fame, as truly beneficial in effect
and giving satisfaction to millions of people
everywhere are the products Of the knowledge
of the most eminent physicians and presented
in the form most acceptable 10 the human sys-
tenn by the skill of the worlds great CHEMISTS
and one of the most successful examples is the
Syrup of Figs manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Company. Unlike a host of imita-
tions and cheap substitutes, Syrup of Figs is
permanently beneficial in It's effects and there
fore lives and promotes good health while in
ferior preparations are being cast aside and
forgotten.
In the process of manufacturing the pleasant
family laxative made by the California Fig
Syrup Company. and named Syrup Of Figs, figs
are used. as they are pleasant to the taste but
the medicinal properties of the remedy are OBJ
tanned from an excellent combination of plants
known to be incidentally laxative and TO act
most benefcally. AS the true and original
remedy, named Syrup of Figs, is manufactured
by the California Fig Syrup Company only a
knowledge of that fact will assist in avoiding
the worthless limitations manufactured by other
parties.

mel called Port Channel as far as the
point of the continent where It strikes the
96th degree of north latitude. From this
aforementioned point the line of demark-
alton shall follow the summit of the
mountains situated parallel to the coast
as far as the point of intersection of the
I4lst degree of west longitude OF the same same
meridian, and finally from the said point
Of intersection the said meridian OF the
l41st degree in its prolongation TO the
frozen ocean,
intersections of the line with the 56th de-
gree of latitude and the 14lst meridian 1t
is TO follow the summit of the mountains
running parallel to the coast, where they
do not exceed ten marine leagues there
from-where they do so exceed that dis
tance the line is to stand at ten marine
leagues from the coast This IS the only
part of the line about which there could
be any dispute.
In the treaty of 1867, by which Russia sold
her American possessions to the United
States, the boundaries were described as
laid down in the treaty OF 1873 between
Russia and Great Britain, as quoted
above In 1892 the United States and
Great Britain agreed by treaty on 4 joint
survey and delimitation of the boundary
along the ''panhandlev that IS oudheast asas
ment as to the continental part or the
line from that point north to the Arctc
Ocean for the simple reason that there
was no necessity for any. From the in
tersection of the line with the l4lst mef-
idian which cuts the side OF Mount 81:
the line is fixed. All that needs to be
done is to determine points along its
length by astronomicaI observations at On and and
mark its actual position. This was
lev four or five years ago, and shows the
line TO be some forty miles VEST of P3w 2;T
line" and as far as the two Govern
ments interested are concerned, there it
viii surely remain. So the excited Daw- ly

OF all the silly and baseless stories ever

now, of course, to the United States in
