CALL BUREAU, WORLDS FAIR.
ST. LOUIS, June "a direct campaign
to secure customers and good prices for
what they already produce, as well as
new settlers, is to be made by two of
California's most important counties,
Santa Clara and Fresno. These coun-
ties viii not rest satisfied with showing
their products as lure to prospective
their prosperity through the palates of
Worlds Fair visitors. Charles f. Myer,
who represents Fresno, and Mr.. Childs,
who acts in a like capacity for Santa
Clara, are turning their strongest ef-
forts toward increasing the demand for
products. AS yet the counties they rep
resent are not prepared to carry on
operations in manner fully in conson-
ance with their plans, but in a few
days visitors to the California section
Will be sampling Santa Clara prunes.
freshly cooked, and Fresno raisins, and
the other products of tree and vine in
these two counties.
PRACTICAL COMMISSIONERS.
Myer and Childs are practical men
and are fully posted on all matters per-
tanning to the task intrusted to them.
They believe that the development of
markets is the most important work TO
be done-that settlers will come wher-
ever crops are profitable. They say
that all California needs is to get her
products well before the world to teach
the worlds people their excellence, and
when the demand is great and prices
assured population will come fast.
Arizona Territory, which up to a few
years ago was noted principally for her
horned toads and bad men, is wiping
out every slander attached to her name
by tenderfeet by her representation at
the fair. With her Territorial univer-
sity, two normal schools and many
grammar schools showing in the edu-
cational section the most advanced
work. with agricultural and horticui-
tural displays that bring compliments
from Eastern visitors and a mineral
exhibit that is one of the meccas Of
practical mining men at the exposition,
Arizona has no fear that the money
and labor expended by her will not
bring manifold returns, or that a full
share of plaudits will not be hers.
ENERGY OF ARIZONA.
The Territory's plan of representa-
tion is by a commission composed of
A ]. Doran of -rescott, president; B.
A. Packard, Bisbee, treasurer; H. B.
st. Clair, Phoenix, secretary, and r.
N. Leatherwood, Tucson, superlntend-
ent of exhibits. Ernest E. Ford of
Phoenix is custodian of the mineral
exhibit, N. c. Bernard of Tucson of the
agricultural, Monte Mansfield Of the
horticultural and Mrs. Ernest E. Ford
Of the educational exhibits. Mrs. John
A. Black of Tucson and Miss Jessie l..
Drace cf Prescott will be the ladies at
the Territorial buildil g
Mr.. Leatherwood is to be the resident
commissioner. He is here now and has
been for some time, experimenting the
installation of exhibits. Leatherwood
is a happy representative Of a COM
munity that has just undergone the
transition from a state of semi-law-
lessness to that Of UP to date civiliza-
ton. He bears about him the flavor Of
the old days of wild freedom and yet
is possessed of that intelligence and
energy which keeps men at the front
in the movement toward the higher
state 1t is safe bet tnat he doesn't
feel comfortable in a dress suit and
odds that he never had one on, but he
represents the root and fiber OF his
home land and it is likely her interests
are in good hands. He perhaps has
never led a german and doesn't care
to try, but he is heart and soul for
the progress of Arizona and knows her
every resource, her rich minerals, her
fruits and her grains and can tell the
inquirer all he may desire to know
about them.
STURDY REPRESENTATIVES,
Leatherwood has been honored by
Pimo County, which contains Tucson,
with nearly every Office in her gift, in
cluding that delicate and dangerous
one of Sheriff. Leatherwood is not
large of stature, but he is sure of his
words, as he probably was of his aim
when Sheriff, and he holds the atten-
