Speclal Staft Correspondent of The Call. CALL BUREAU, PRESS BUILDING, WORLD'S FAIR, ST. LOUIS, Sept.3. Santa Barbara County is showing some of the finest lemons displayed here. They come from the Crocker-Sperry ranch. They have not been entered for prizes, though no lemons have been dis- played up to date that can surpass them. Something California lemon growers should look into is a complaint that lemons sent East by them do not keep as well as those sent from other lo- calities. Whether this is due to faulty “curing” or the variety of the fruit is not known, but growers could probably find the cause and remedy it if they in- vestigated. C. W. Merritt, the commissioner from Santa Barbara, failed to get his daily temperature reports by telegraph from that county for one or two days, and was wondering what caused the omis- sion. A Los Angeles man told him there had probably been a hot wave, and he quit wondering and awaited his home papers. Commissioner Merritt is having great difficulty with the crayfish he brought here from Santa Barbara. It is in a tank of preserving fluid and he wants to get it in a jar so as to show it better, but It is of such great length, its whiskers alone being the longest in Missouri, that no jar in St. Louis will ‘The public s overlooking the fact every day that Santa Barbara has the biggest grapevind and the biggest crayfish in the world, and with two such wonders known to the world prog- ress should be certain. INTEREST IN DISPLAY. Much interest is manifested in the pretty display made by Santa Barbara. This is one of the world-famous Cali- fornia resorts. There are few tourists who have ever visited the Golden State who have not spent some of their time at this place, where the climate is of | the sort that makes one wish dreams | could produce bank accounts or that bank accounts were not a prerequisite of dreams. Santa Barbara's fame brings as many people to her exhibit as it will bring to Santa Barbara. Before the World's Fair opened some enterprising citizens of Santa Barbara conceived the idea of exhibiting at the exposition 500 live California quail. There was a game law that prevented the capture of the birds and so they went to Merritt, who had been to the Legislature, where he got some game laws passed himself. and asked him his advice. He econsulted the Fish and Game Commission and got permission to capture the birds. The promoters were happy until they heard the condi- tions. These were that one man only catch the entire 500 quail and that he make affidavit for what purpose they were going to be used. Some of them, it was unds 0od, were to be sent to public parks in Europe after the fair. None was to be killed. CONDITIONS TOO HARD. The conditions ‘aid down knocked the scheme, as one man couldn’t have caught ten quail in the time left. It was intended to invite everybody in the county to trap them at 50 cents a bird. The California -county commissioners have decided that each one shall give the lecture on his particular locality at the stereopticon exhibits at the Califor- nia building inaugurated through the enterprise of Captain Harris, the County commissioner. These lectures are being given regularly now at 5 o'clock each evening and are a by crowds that fill the little hall'at the California building. San Joaquin Coun- ty pictures were displayed the first evening, with Calvin Brown as lee- turer. Sacramento followed, with Roy Brooke as the orator in its behalf. Fresno County’s pictures were ex- plained by Charles Wyer, and Kings County’s by Captain Harris. The other county representatives will appear in turn, Th! ‘World's Falr may develop some spellbinders in California—some mute, lnglorlou: “Vebnm ‘who, start- ing humbly with pig n‘m gation scenes, will be u‘n. audiences with discourses on the prob- lems of the day. —_————— CALIFORNIANS AT FAIR.
