The probabilities are that the Los An
geles Evening News will join in the
undertaking thus increasing the party
and extending the advertising. we
forwarded all the information desired
by the Sierra and feel convinced that
the plan will be carried out.
Mr.. c. B. Yandell, secretary of the
Portland Chamber of Commerce, writes

"The excursion, though yet in en-
bryo, is coming along in good shape,

the Long Beach papers giving an in
