 FOR THE PRESIDENT.
Matter Has Been Taken Up With Governor Strong On Sug-
 gestion of J. H. Sears.

President Wilson will enjoy an AL askan dinner at the San Francisco eX- position if the plans now under way find no unexpected obstacle to their fulflment. J. H. Sears of the liar riman National Bank of this city has suggested the matter and at his sug- gestion A. c. Miller of the Federal Reserve Board at Washington, D. C. has entered into communication with Governor Strong and seems to be talk ing a deep interest. In a letter to Mir. Sears, Mir.
