R s AR ] HOUSED IN PRUNE Some of the county commissioners concéived the idea that, as representa- tives' of California, all of them should ride in the opening day procession. They wished to do this as an advey- tisement for the State, the only one represented by counties. They were turned down and the World's Fair au- thorities apd the California State Com- missioners are trying to shift the blame for this each upon the other. The for- mer declare the State Commissioners placed the petition before them, but sald they preferred it be not granted; the latter declare they made the strong- BUILT STRUCTURE Santa Clara County Is Making a Mag- nificent Display of Her Resources. Santa Clara County, whose miles of fruit trees blend into a seemingly boundless ocean of bloom in the early spring, and her chief city, San Jose, are making a magnificent display, The central structure is of ambitious ar- chitectural design.

This structure is seemingly built of prunes, for every inch of it, save the base, the Lick Observatory at the top and some spaces occupied by fancy figures done in dried apricots and peaches and arched recesses where immense jars of fruit stand, is covered with this frauit. It took six men nearly a week to put this veneer of prunes on the pine ex- terior of the building. ‘When Santa Clara prepared to ex- hibit at the World’s Fair she decided to make use of the world fame of the Lick Observatory that greater attention might be attracted to her display. On the top of the mission temple stands a large model of the observatory. Visitors seeing this at once identify Santa Clara with it and know. before they read the names “Santa Clara County” and “San Jose” over the arches at which exhibit they are gaz- ing. Exposition rules made one change in Santa Clara’s booth necessary and it will appear a little different from what the Santa Clarans will expect to see it when they visit the fair. The low mission doors have been broadened into high and broad arches, too much inclosure being forbidden. Quaint mission bells hang in the low windows at the top. Electric lights glisten under the | arches and others are arranged to il- luminate many of the jars of fruit. Santa Clara exhibits almost every fruit grown in California, including lemons and oranges. She has the largest seed farms in the world and makes a com- plete display in this line. Around the base of the booth car- tons of dried fruits with fancy designs |are shown. A magnificent display of | scenic photographs, some of them 10x 13 feet in size, adds to the general beauty of Santa Clara’s show. Some space is given up to a display Maraschino, or cocktall, cherries, h glow rich and red in their pol- jars™\'This display i{s made by an lern firm that buys nearly all Santa Clara’s crop of this cherry. Prune coffee is dispensed free. Loyd Childs is in charge of the dis- ’filfly. The booth was erected under di- rection of William Binder, the archi- tect, who came here about April 1 from San Jose.

Silk will be shown *“from the egg to the weaving,” but the weaving will come later. Cocoons and worms are displayed in a big glass case. The vis- itor, when the weaving process is in- troduced, will see the evolution of the beautiful material that flattens purses in the purchase. The visitor to the San Diego exhibit, which is in charge of Frank A. Kim- ball, knows when he reaches it, for the exhibit {s graced with a picture five by thirteen feet in diameter showing the city of San Diego and the bay. This picture cost $1500 and is one of the most elaborate things of the sort ever un- dertaken: Photograph albums showing scenes of the beauty spots in the county and rellef maps are also dis- played. The big picture referred to rests: over an' arch at the main en- trance to the exhibit, and at once ar- rests attention of the passer-by. The raisin industry is well illustrated by San Diego. The process of packing is demonstrated to the throngs. A citric acid exhibit is also made, and, of course, there are lemons and limes in abundance, and also oranges. The lapidolite from which the column in California’s mining exhibit is made was ‘supplied by San Diego, in which fact the county also takes pride. okt b LARGEST CRAYFISH AS A SIDESHOW Beautiful Santa Barbara Makes Fea- ture of Her Beans and Olive Ofl. Beautiful Santa Barbara, where the great mission grape vine that cov- ers land enough almost to make a farm grows, is here with the product of her fleld and hill and the sea that murmurs ever at her feet. C. N. Merritt is in charge of her exhibit. Olive oil and beans seem to be the mean features of her elaborate show, which is arranged with a taste that brings much admiration. True, she displays the largest crayfish ever taken in the toils on the Pacific Coast, but this {s merely a side show, a pike diversion from the main enter- tainment. In the center of this county’s space, also 18x20 feet, rises a stately olive oll tower, which seems to almost plerce the roof. On it are bottles of oil of many varieties. Luscious honey is shown In glass cases and all the va- rious fruits, drfed and preserved, are displayed. There is also grain in sheaves, showing the productiveness of her cereal lands. Beans, the great prod- uct of Santa Barbara, are honored by being used for decorative purposes. The crayfish exhibited is forty-eight inches long and is in a glass case. Some of the rival County Commission- ers insist on calling it a lobster, but Mr., Merritt says he will not have his county known as possessing the big- gest lobster in the world. el SAN LUIS OBISPO JOINS MONTEREY This Exhibit Needs More Display Ma- terial, but Waits Upon the Season. San Luis Obispo County keeps apace of Santa Barbara and her crayfish by exhibiting the largest clam ever taken alive. She does not look to this clam, however, for her prosperity, and only displays it to show that even the sea yields bountifully on her borders. San Luis Obispo exhibits jointly with Mon- terey, Santa Clara being next to them, but not joined. R. L. Janney is In charge of the exhibit of the two coun- tles, and it is of a unique nature, though not ‘appearing to as fine ad- vantage now as it will later on, when needed material can be obtained. The scheme of the joint display is a grape arbor with open sides and ends. At present this arbor is covered with sheaves of wheat and natural grasses, but as soon as the grapevines have grown their leaves genuine vines will be used. The exhibit has the length desired, Mr. Janney relinquishing some space 8o as to get a section best fitted to his design. The space is now 17%x31 feet, with a height in the clear of twelve feet, which slopes to ten. There is a rail. composed of alternate displays of scenic photographs and seeds. The en- trance is .on the *main aisle, and at front and back are shelves on which rest processed and dried fruits and the various other products of these two fer- tile counties, including oranges, lemons and highly developed cereals. Around the rail is a unique decoration of aba- lone shells, which are brilliantly celored and make a handsome show. The big clami weighs five pounds and is kept in a glass jar. San Luis Obispo has the world's rec- ord for pumpkins, having produced one that weighed 380 pounds. Another weighing 302 pounds has been kept in cold storage since last January, and if it is in condition will be brought on and given a place beside the clam. SR SAN JOAQUIN HAS A GOOD LOCATION Is First Booth Seen When Entering the Agricultural Building on the East Side. San Joaquin County's booth lies di- rectly in front of the main entrance on ‘the east side of the agricultural building and is the first booth seen by all who enter at that side. As this east entrance promises from its loca- tion to be more used than any other of the entrances, San Joaquin has an excellent location. The space occupied by this county is 30x35 feet and it lies in the southeast corner of the California space, being bounded on the south by Missouri, on the north by a State honey exhibit and on the east and west by main aisles. The booth proper is fifteen feet high and is built with a view to showing the exhibit material on the outside. Inside of the structure is a neatly fur- nished room, 10x12 feet. The walls of this interior room are covered with dark red burlap upon which are hung sepia enlargements of farm scenes typical of San Joaquin County. The smallest of these pictures is 2x3 feet and the largest is 4x7 feet. The pic- tures are framed in redwood and have brass name plates, on which are print- ed descriptions of the scenes depicted. There are eight of these pictures in this room and they form a very inter- esting part of the San Joaquin exhibit. Against the north and south walls of the booth are Flemish oak tables with chairs to match. On these tables are albums of scenes taken in and around the city of Stockton. There are six of these albums. On the outside of the booth, ar- ranged in tiers in front of plate glass mirrors, are jars of processed fruits and vegetables and pyramids of olive oil, wine, beer, preserves and aspara- gus. The base of the booth is sur- rounded with glass-covered boxes dis- playing beans, cereals and grain prod- ucts, such as flour, germea and so forth; seeds, dried fruit, nuts, maca- roni, and, in fact, samples of every- thing produced in the county. Between Missouri and San Joaquin County is a flat wall fifteen feet high. San Jvaquin has covered its side of this with dark red burlap and decorated it with pictdres, framed to correspond with those in the inside of the booth, maps and burned wood signs. The color scheme of the booth is dark green, dark red and ivory white. The frdnt and rear entrances are inclesed with arched columns ris- ing twenty-five feet above the floor level. The columns and arches are neatly decorated with staff. The booth is one of the handsomest in the California section and this, to- gether with {its excellent location, makes it one of the prominent booths in the building. The San Joaquin County display is completed. The San Joaquin exhibit is being conducted by the Stockton Chamber of Commerce and is in charge of Col- vin B..Brown, secretary of the cham- ber. He is one of the hustlers in the California section and has been very successful in getting his display ready. A feature connected with the Stock- ton booth that is sure to be much ap- preciated by San Joaquin County visi- tors is the fact that chairs and lockers have been provided for the use and convenience of Stocktonians and San Joaquinites who may visit St. Louis this summer. As free seats will be hard to find, and there are to be no free checking bureaus, the arrange- ment at the Stockton booth promises to be a boon to the home people. —_— A FEATURE AT THE FRESNO BOOTH RAISINS Display Is One of the Most Credit- able in the California Exhibit. Ralisins, the great product of Fresno County, are prominent in her display, which is one of the most creditable in the California exhibit and shows well for the committee that arranged it. The Laguna de Tache Grant exhibits alongside this county, as its 68,000 acres lie both in Fresno and Kings counties. Charles F. Weyer is in charge here for Fresno. The county is represented also in the Educa- tional and Forestry buildings, her dis- play in the latter being a fine one. The exhibit in the Agricultural bulld- ing is on one of the main aisles, just at the right of the main entrance to the. bullding. The chief exhibit occu- pies a space 45x17% feet. In addition to this Fresno is making the raisin exhibit for the State. The plan of the central structure is Egyptian in design and very suitable to the whole arrangement, considering the vast amount of material to be dis- played in a given space. There are many pyramids and arches, cleverly arranged to display the county’s prod- ucts to advantage. Quite a departure is made in the color scheme. Wood colors and gold predominate, while green and red seem to be the colors adhered to by the other coupties. The display made by Fresno is a rich one and it will set the people from less favored climes agape when they gaze on it. She shows wonder- ful raisins in great clusters, put up in commercial packages and fancy boxes for display; Calimyrna figs that rival the famous ones of Smyrna, Adriatlc figs, honey, cereals' of many sorts, nuts, olive oil, olives, lemons, oranges, canned and dried fruits and marmalade. The Fresno Chamber of Commerce makes a special display, in- cluding fruits in solution and raisins. e A U SHOWS FRUITS OF IRRIGATED LANDS Kings County Joins With Laguna de Tache in a Most Striking Exhibit. Kings County has joined with the Laguna de Tache grant in its exhibit, which is typical of the irrigated sec- tions of Central Californiag The main central section is Egyptian in design, the color scheme being brown and gold. The decoration is worked out in many varieties of corn, including Indian, Egyptian, kaffir and broom corn. Some cornstalks from fifteen to eighteen feet in height are displayed. Wheat, barley and other grains in sheaves form an attractive feature in | the decorations. Like all the exhibits from California, Kings County and the Laguna de Tache will attract at- tention by the ggeat variety of prod- ucts shown. Besides the excellent | showing of corn and cereals there are | many varieties of garden vegetables exhibited In glass—peanuts, almonds, castor beans, several varieties of edible beans, seeds of various kinds, cotton and tobacco. Alfalfa will be shown as the greatest and best feed for stock and dairy cattle. The exhibit con-} tains also a fine selection of fruits in solution—dried fruits of many vari- eties and raisins.’ The exhibit is em- bellished with many large photo- graphs illustrative of agricultural con- ditions in the irrigated portions of | Fresno and Kings counties. One of| the features of the exhibit is a model forty-acre irrigated farm, showing the canals, ditches and gates and alfalfa and cqrn flelds, orchards and vineyards | in approved propoftions. The exhibit is in the same block as that of Fresno County and some of the features are installed jointly with Fresno. A har- monious design and color scheme has been observed throughout both ex- hibits. The whole forms one of the creditable units of California’s great display. The exhibit is under the di- rection of W. N. Harris of Laton, Cali- fornia. 1 ey ALASEA TERRITORY SHOWS ITS WEALTH Fence of Totem Poles Protects the Northland Exhibit From Evil Spells. ST. LOUIS, April 30.—Inside a for- est of totem poles, charm ngflnat any | evil that might come from the Igor-/ rotes or the bolo men not far away, Alaska sits with her wares displayed | waiting for the world to see. The | novel sight of the grotesque polos | drew a great throng to the building | to-day and alt were warmly welcomed | by Governor Brady of the Territory | and Mrs. Mary E. Hart, manager of | the exhibit and hostess. Alaska has one of the most unique and instructive exhibits on the grounds and great interest is going to be awakened in the Territory through it. San Francisco is interested in the advance of Alaska, as she derives much trade from the northern Terri- | tory. 5 | The building is quite a pretentious one. The main structure is 50x100 feet and there is an addition at each end in the shape of an Esquimau hut. There are now six Esquimaux here, who are native artists and have been employed in decorative work. They will be sent back soon and in their stead will come five basket weavers | and ivory carvers. Alaska day will be October 16, and it is hoped to have the Metlakatla native band of fifteen pleces here on that date. Minerals, furs, fish and curios fromr| the principal exhibit in the Alaska building. On the way are moose heads, deer heads, native eagle shields, nuggets and many other articles. The inside finish of the building is of native cedar, which has a fine grain and takes a splendid polish. | In the summer the micultunl} products of Southeastern Alaska.,i which are said to be of excellent | quality, will be shown. | Mrs. Hart is especially proud of the | educational display and that of women's work in Alaska. She gath-| ered the curios, photographs and spe- | cimens of native art, J. Davies col-| lected the minerals, D. Fales, Forestry Commissioner, supplied the cedar, and | Governor Brady secured the totem | poles. These poles are about thlrlyi feet high and represent bears, ravens, frogs, or whatever may be the em-| blem of the tribe to which their owner | belongs. They are set in Alaska in front of the houses of the aristocracy and compartments cut in them held | the charred bones of the dead mem- bers of the family. Fantastically, and in some cases hideously ornamented, they present a sight that quickly at- tracts the curious. ADVERTISEMENTS.
