Knights Shall be
Informed

Great preparation is being made all
over the State Of California for an ex-
hibit Of the best products at the time OF
the national biennial gathering Of the
Knights Of Pythias in this city in Aug
ust next. That the distinguished visit-
ore shall have the opportunity of study
ing and seeing for themselves the mar
velous advantages and the bountiful pro-
ducts of the State nearly every county
has made an appropriation. that the ex-
hibit to be- made 10 San Francisco shall
surpass all previous efforts.
Supreme Chancellor Ogden H. Feth-
ers in his address entitled "All Roads
will Lead to San Francisco Next Aug
ust," announces that all the leading
transcontinental railroads are prepared
to carry 100000 passengers each way
during the concIave, and he is confident
that the capacity OF the railroads will be
taxed to their fun limit.
The California Grand Lodge Of Pyth-
ans has appointed committee repre-
senting each county in California to take
charge of the exhibit. The lodges of the
counties have selected their own commit
tees to assist in the work Of making the
most creditable showing possible. Yolo
county furnishes a fair example Of what
is being done throughout the State.
This county has voted an appropriation
OF S400 from its funds toward the pro-
iect. The people Of Yolo are alive to
the importance Of the occasion and are
astir in installing an exhibit that will be
credit to the county. The local COM
mittees, representing Woodland, DAVIS
vile, Winters, Rumseg, Esparto and
other sections, met and arranged plan
to enlist the cooperation of all produc-
ers and growers in the county. They
are assured Of the fullest cooperation
from the Chamber OF Commerce OF
Woodland. the Davis and Capay Almond
Growers Association and Morris and
Smith, the olive growers, to make ex-
hibits. The railroad company has agreed
to furnish free transportation for aliex-
hibits and also for fruits that are to be
distributed free to the visitors, provided
the people Of San Francisco will furaish
the space for the exhibits. Exhibitors
will be- furnished by the committee with
jars, boxes and cartons for their fruits.
fresh or dried.
These exhibits will revert to the county
after having been used. while those max
ing the exhibits on their own accopnt
will have the articles returned to them,
but will also have transportation free
both ways Green fruits, both Tor ex-
hibition and for free distribution, will
be shipped daily.
The mining districts are anxious to ex.
hibit their leading industry, and will in
stall exhibits showing quartz and gravel
mining in full operation. One county
alone has asked for $500 feet OF space to
install it's exhibit, consisting of a CON-
plete mining outfit in operation.
1t is understood that in one case a
bond OF $4,000 will have to be furnished
by the committee in order to take col
lection of valuable specimens from the
county to be exhibited in San Francisco.
The grand nave OF the ferry building.
where it was intended to have most OF
the exhibits, will be occupied by the
State Floral Society with its magnificent
fora show during Pythian week. and it
is now certain that it will require the
whole length Of Van Ness avenue to ac.
commodate all the exhibits which will
be brought to San Francisco from every
part and section of California, thus maxi
ing it the grandest and most complete
street fair in the history of CALIFORNIA;
San Francisco Call.
