The San Francisco call., 1904-06-04
BY PAUL EDWARDS,
STAR Of The Vall at the worids F,r

tion of visitors from the centers of
population who wish to learn some
thing about the Territory.
Arizonas building was opened last
Monday (May 3D. 1t is not large and
looks like a baby among the bigger
State buildings that rise about it, but
it is pretty and handsomely furnished.
1t is of the Spanish style of architec-
ture. The most noticeable thing it con-
tains is a large cabinet of Spanish and
Indian curios loaned by Mrs. NJ B.
Aguirre of Tucson. Some of the arti-
cles are of great value. There are un-
wieldy spurs and stirrups used by the
soldiers of Cortez's army in the men,
orable march upon the City of Mexico,
fragments of pottery made by the Az
tees before Cortez came, pestles, NOR
tars and arrow heads Some of these
curios were found 200 feet underground
by miners.
In agriculture and horticulture Ari-
zona shows wheat, barley. corn and al
falfa, oranges, lemons, olives, olive oil,
dates and many other varieties OF
fruits.
SPLENDID MINING DISPLAY.
The Territory makes mining her
principal display. 1t is to the rich
ness of her minerals that she looks
mainly for her future advance, Com
missioner Leatherwood says. A min
eral exhibit calculated to attract capi-
tai is made. Its principal features are
gold. silver, copper and lead ores.
September % will be Arizona day
and 1t is thought great many citizens
of the Territory, including Governor
Brady, will visit the fair on that date.
Arizona's display will cost $50, 1000.
The fact that the bonds issued to Sc
cure this sum brought $4,000 premium
speaks well for the credit of the Ter
ritory.
B. C. Samuels, the San Francisco
wine man, is here consulting Ferdi-
nand Haber concerning the California
wine display. This exhibit will be
ready in few days and will fulfill all
expectations as to its beauty.
Professor C. w. Childs Of San Jose
is here, accompanied by his wife.
They are the parents of the commits
sioner from Santa Clara County.
Among other Californians at the
fair are William L. Tupper, vice presi-
dent of the Conservative Life Insur-
ance Company of Los Angeles; A. H.
Vail, the picture dealer of San Fran
cisco; E. L. Doheny, the millionaire
oil man of Los Angeles; c. A. Garfield
and wife of Los Angeles and E. C.
Southworth, Southern Pacific agent at
Sanger, Fresno County.
VISITORS ARE INQUISITIVE.
Commissioners Filcher and Virgins
are greatly bothered by visitors, many
from California, who insist that there
are exhibits In the State building.
There>are no exhibits In that building.
The misconception is caused by an
erroneous statement in the first guide
book issued by the exposition COM
pany to the effect that an exhibit was
made in the State structure. The error
will be corrected in the new guide
book.
The Woman's Club of Alaska has
sent to the building of that Territory
an exhibit of all the berries grown
within its borders. There are fifteen
varieties, some of them new and all
luscious. Cereals and feed grasses
have also arrived. Red clover, four
feet high, and timothy. six feet high,
is shown. Many varieties of wheat,
oats, barley and rye are displayed;
also hemp.
