REPORTS ON PROTEST. The Bureau of Engineering filed a report on the protest of the Sutro estate against granting permission to the United Rallroads to electrize the California-street stegm road on the ground that it passes through property belonging to the estate, and it is in- tended to construct a single track road instead of a double track as provided in an agreement. The report states that under the franchise the portions (of the road crossing private property are to cross with the consent of the owners, and it is optional with the | owners whether a single or double | track shall be bullt, as any such agree- | ment has not been incorporated in the franchise | in Seventh street between Hubbell and 1 South. ‘ The cost of paving Broadway be- tween Front and Davis was reported | as being $3100.

Ayres was chosen toastmaster and handled the situation creditably, introducing the speakers of the evening tactfully and entertaingly. A GREAT SUBJECT. After coffee and cigars the toast- master said: “Gentlemen, we are here the interests of a great sub- ject—a subject involving yearly In the United States the vast expenditure of $650,000,000. Few people realize that advertising grown so great. The annual wheat crop in the United States is but $320,000,000, the cotton crop $483,- 000,000, the gold production $210,000,000, the lumber production $567,000,000. Ad- vertising involves more money than any of these great industries. “Advertising is woven in one way or another into every business under the sun. Its dynamic force can hardly be measured. It builde business, develops commerce and makes nations. It is the greatest subject of the day in the commercial world.” The first toast was responded to by C. H. House of the Call, on the sub- , “The Benefits to Be Derived From Organization.’ M. Barrus was the next speaker. His subject was “Club Organization.” Having been an active member of a similar organization in Denver he made many valuable suggestions. J. D. Barnhill responded to the toast, What the East Expects From Califor- nia.” Coming recently from New York and being closely in touch with the ideas of Eastern publishers, his re- marks were listened to with intense interest. Replying to the toa t of Mr. Barn- hill, E. M. Swasey told “What Califor- nia Can Give the East.” His speech was the feature of the evening. His familiarity with the State's condition and products enabled him to ably and exhaust ly treat his subject. NEED OF ADVERTISING. said in part: He California to-day is one of the world’s attractions. No other State ! has been spoken of in such glowing words, vet there remains more ad- vertising to be done than has ever been done, for with our millions of | acres yet untenanted we can easily | take care of a population of millions, | whereas we now have only thousands. “Jingles, doggerels and cartoons required to bolster up the merit of California canned goods. | statements, tersely told and 1 in the right media would start sale of these goods and their own merit would keep it up. Yet who is advertising California canned goods | in the East? “You can find the popular adver- tised brands of beer in every cafe, | bar and grill in America. But tell me one brand of California wine that | is sold in 10 per cent of the places in | which it should be the leader through- out the United States. There is no question about the quality of good California wines, but our wine in- dustry needs a campaign of advertis- ing. “The same may be said of our splendid olive oil, our excellent rai- sins and our delicious prunes. The first big advertising of a California product must be done properly. Let us have one big success and we will have no difficulty in securing many others.” F. J. Cooper gave a technical talk on “Agency Work in Developing Adver- tising.” R. P.
