CALL BUREAU, WORLDS FAIR
June 13-This has been another Cal
ifornia week. The regular arrivals of
people from the Golden State were
greater than at any previous time and
the influx was augmented by the ex-
cursiou from Alameda. under the aus
pices of the commissioners from that
county. As on the days the Califor-
mia Press Association and the excur-
sionists who came under care of the
State Board OF Trade were here, there
have been Californians everywhere on
the grounds
Except for two days heavy rain,
when the skies seemed to be getting
rid at once OF all the water they had
left over from winter, the visitors
from the West have been treated 20
the finest of weather. The hot spell
has been delayed and many think st.
Louis is going 10 be favored with an
other cool summer. After the "un-
usual" winter she has struggled
through she certainly is entitled to
something of g better sort. The ST
Louisians are an honest people,
though, and even the most loyal ones
will not make any predictions Of
pleasant July and August days.
Many little parties are being made
and all who come seem to thoroughly
enjoy the exposition and the city of
ST. Louis. which, while very different
from San Francisco In the matters OF
color and gayety. has many quaint
and interesting features and does a
tremendous volume of business that
impresses all commercial men. Among
the visitors who have arrived during
the week are Charles Adams, the San
Jose capitalist. who is president of the
Murphys Slough Water Company in
mother, Mrs. Burrel, and his three
haIf-sisters, Miss Vera Burrel, Miss
May Burrel and Miss Lulu Burrel.
They are doing the fair together and
are having a good time.
Frank Dexter, a prominent farmer
of Saratoga, and DR.. Davies, member
Of the board Of control of the San Jose
Chamber OF Commerce, are also here.
They, and all Santa CIarans, are de-
lighted with the showy house Of
prunes' erected by their county and
visitors from every part of the State
take pride in it, for it is an elaborate
and novel exhibit.
Miss Pearl Hart, daughter Of a well
known fruit grower of West Park,
Fresno County. is enjoying the sights
of the fair as the winner of one of
ing Democrat. Miss Hart is accom-
panied by Miss Alma Norton of Fres-
no and nothing of interest is escaping
them. They came with a number of
other visitors from Fresno. Miss Hart's
grandmother and aunt reside in Van
dalia, Mo, and hsr trip will be doubly
pleasant, as she VIII visit them before
returning home.

some Missouri friends Of mine in San
Francisco for any eontumely 1 may

MIA IS the greatest State in the Union
