CALIFORNIA CITIES
URGE EXPOSITION
Efforts to Have Congress Select
San Francisco Now Nearly
Certain of Success

California cities stand in solid
phalanx behind San Francisco in the
splendid fight being made by that city
to secure the Endorsement of congress
for an exposition in 1915 that will
astonish the world. If the united eff
forts of an entire state will have any
effect, the opening of the Panama canal
will be celebrated beside the Golden
Gate, long the gateway to the orient.
More than 100 California cities have
placed themselves upon the roll of
honor, and in many cases they repre-
sent smaller places. For instance, Red
Bluff is working over an entire county
and has called to date for 10000 post
cards. Following is a list of cities that
have formed local post card week COM
mittees:
Alameda, Anaheim, Arroyo Grande.

GREAT DEMAND FOR CARDS
Cards are being printed by three
companies in San Francisco, because
one company cannot turn out enough
to fill the demand. They are delivered
by the hundred thousand or more and
set out in consignments of 100000 or
less.
Here is "a list of the largest calls to
date illustrating we'll the tremendous
demand:
Oakland, 100000; Los Angeles. 2OO.-
900; Sacramento, $4,000; Pasadena, 50,-
600: San Jose, 50,00O Stockton, 100000;
Berkeley, 25.O0o; Santa Rosa, 10000;
Red Bluff, 80 900; Modesto, $4,000; Ala
media, $4,000; Sebastopol, 10000; Peta-
luna, 10, 1000: Palo Alto, 10000; Willows,
10, 900: Santa Cruz, 10000.
Sacramentos first call was for 10000.
| Shortly a telegram was received at
| San Francisco requesting another 90
900. Close upon the heels of this came
a wire cancelling the second order for
| 20, 900 and asking for $4,000 instead.
What happened in the case of Sacra-
mento, or something similar, may hap
Den In many other instances and any
moment from any one Of the commit
tees in the state. A telegram may be
received by the Panama officials doub-
ling, trebling or quadrupling the first
call. If the chairman of the commit
tee in the largest city in any county
finds that the county is not being
thoroughly worked he can follow the
example of Red Bluff and make his
city a central distributing point.
