fessor Galen Howard. architect of the
greater university, and ]. Marshall
Steel, who will be custodian of the ex-

1t is apparent from the material sent

progress of the furthest Pacific State

in the field of letters and science.
Every department of the university.
on both sides of the bay. will be repre-
sented. Perhaps the most notable ex-
hibit will be that of the Lick Observ-
atory. This is a complete exposition of
the advanced astronomical work of this
celebrated institution, and doubtless
will be a magnet to scientists from all
over the world and the many others
who wish to gaze into the opened book
of the heavens. Mr.. Hedger thinks no
finer astronomical display has ever
been made than that prepared by the
Lick Observatory
Redwood is used in the framework of
the university exhibit. The skeleton
was constructed in Oakland and un-
loaded, ready made, in the space al
lotted, which Will save great deal of
time.
WITHIN THE PAVILION.
On two sides of the pavilion cabinets
thirteen feet in height will be con-
structed against the wall These will
contain Photographic views and other
interesting material. On another side

the university grounds and buildings

ment plans are carried out. The map

KINGS COUNTY CEREALS.
The Kings County display has been
enriched by the receipt or a large in
voice of cereals in the stalk, part of
this years crop. There is wheat six
and a quarter feet high, barley four
feet ten inches high and oats five feet
high, all bearing fine, large heads, just
ripening. Alfalfa, four and half feet
high, is among the lot. These pro-
ducts stood in large sheaves in front
of the booth and artistically arranged
on its sides, are attracting the atten-
ton of many Eastern farmers, who
are thus given good demonstration
of what California grain fields will
produce. The willy Kings County peo-
pie know that If an Eastern home |
seeker is lured there by the display of
wheat and barley he will soon go to
raising more profitable crops of fruit
and grapes. Cereals always look good |
to an Eastern farmer. They mean
wealth in his region.
The Kings County people have also /
sent on an exhibit of silk worms and
cocoons These are not on mulberry, |
but on oak branches and are attract |
Ing great attention. If the oak leaf /
proves a sufficient food for the worms
the industry in California will receive |
a great impetus.
Kings County also shows a good |
quality of cotton. and many Southern
ers inspect 1t with interest
FILCHER NEEDS BUTTER.
State Commissioner Filcher is going
to California to have it out with the |
butter men, who, he says, have thrown |
down" the commission in the matter
of supplying that substance. He inti-
mates that failure to get jobs at the
fair under the commission caused the
throw down." There Is a chance here
for another lively scrap.
A space In the refrigerator section,
where the worlds butter display Is to
be made, has been secured by the COM
mission, but only enough butter has
been sent to model the figure repre-
senting California. Consequently Cali
