WEEKLY GAZETTE SATURDAY...MARCH 27, 1896 SUBSCRIPTION, per year, $2. EDITORIAL CORRESPONDENCE [NO. II.] March 15th. I am writing this screed on the cars as they traverse Iowa, a State whose chief interest to me consists in its being a Prohibition State. The six beer kegs which I saw, evidently empty, at a station past which we were whisked a moment ago, is evidence that the law is either rigidly enforced by the destruction or consumption of liquor. Which? As seen from a car window, the country through which I have been, and am now being transported, is not one calculated to inspire a writer to eloquent efforts. It is in the main, literally and figuratively, stale, flat and uninteresting, and after crossing the Sierra Nevada mountains, the journey overland is without incident. There is, it is true, a Devil's slide, a Devil's pulpit, a Devil's punchbowl, and so many other freaks of nature with the Devil in the possessive case, that one is led naturally to remark that it is a hell of a country. And the greatest disappointment to the amateur traveler is the ascent of the Rocky Mountains. He is apt to have regarded that alleged formidable barrier as a precipitous range, with sides as perpendicular as an inverted A, to get over which involved devious windings of the road around and above yawning chasms, and all that sort of thing. What is his surprise, therefore, when after many hours' travel over what appeared to be ordinary mesa country, he sees a board by the side of the track, on which is painted: "Summit of the Mountain," and finds upon consulting his guide book that he is at an altitude of 8247 feet above sea level—considerably up in the world, ah it were. If he leaves the comfortable car at Sherman, as numerous character is the make-up of most of these towns. Large signs, calling attention to the cheapness of the land, are prominently displayed, and that the "boom" is beginning to work is evidenced by the fact that at several of these places immigrants were camped on the snow beside the wagon in which they had traveled, and a partly finished house adjoining showed that they had "located." I am told that these lands are selling at $10 per acre. The soil seems to be rich enough, and the price is not exorbitant, as no charge is made for climate or locality. If one never realized what a big world this is, the fact would be solemnly impressed upon him in crossing this boundless prairie. When the author wrote that phrase in the Episcopal prayer book, "World without end," he must have had in his mind this noble expause of country, which the eye cannot bound. It must not be inferred that there are not older and more pretentious towns along the great highway than those referred to. The rule holds good here as elsewhere, that railroads pass along and through the poorest parts of towns, and hence the traveler's remembrance of some really elegant cities is a confused panorama of backyards, outhouses, clothelines and slatternly women, with arms akimbo looking at the passing train. But a glimpse is also caught of stately brick and stone buildings, many of them of pretentious architecture. In fact some of these cities of the plains are doubtless worthy of a visit by the sight-seer. I crossed "the mighty Missouri" a half hour ago. It looked like the Santa Ana river in the month of May. Fully two-thirds of it was hid under a cover of snow and ice, and there was no indication that under this was a river which in the summer months bears upon its bosom large steamships. Across the water visibly flowing one could toss a pebble, and the majesty of the great river was only in imagination.

Friday What is a citrus we now hear daily leged formidable barrier as a precipitous range, with sides as perpendicular as an inverted A, to get over which involved devious windings of the road around and above yawning chasms, and all that sort of thing. What is his surprise, therefore, when after many hours' travel over what appeared to be ordinary mesa country, he sees a board by the side of the track, on which is painted: "Summit of the Mountain," and finds upon consulting his guide book that he is at an altitude of 8247 feet above sea level—considerably up in the world, as it were. If he leaves the comfortable car at Sherman, as the station is called, he gets back right quickly to its warmth and shelter, for the biting wind is too cold for his semi-tropical blood, and the whirling snow blinds him to the beauties of the scene. The height has still another curious effect, observable in ladies who rush to the rear of the car with alarm in their faces and handkerchiefs to their noses. The altitude, says Dr. Crane, causes in some persons a rush of blood to the head, which finds vent through the usual outlet. Arriving at Cheyenne on Sunday, I found that charming city of the plains undergoing repairs. A blizzard had been blizzing on the previous day, and had stopped quite inopportunely a few hours before the arrival of this distinguished party. I say "inopportunity" because I would like to have experienced one of these wild western tempests. This one was all wool and a yard wide, and one of the oldest inhabitants told me that it was quite exceptional—a remark that caused me to look inquiringly at him to see whether there was a hidden, sarcastic meaning in his apparently innocent observation. It sounded very much like a phrase one sometimes hears in Southern California after an "exceptional" spell of whether. I quote the following from the Cheyenne Leader to show what a blizzard can do when it tries real hard, and I have reason to believe the account is not exaggerated—on the contrary, quite the reverse: The force of the wind was so great that new substantial brick blocks in all parts of the city shook and trembled, and in some instances fairly rocked. Although no buildings were blown down, at least here in the city, there was considerable damage done. The tin roofing on the Catholic convent began to give way early in the morning, and although as many as twenty men were set to work on the roof—they being enabled to remain there by the most strenuous efforts only—the roof was almost entirely torn off before night. A lady passenger on the eastern express train was blown from the platform of the car and one of her ankles dislocated. The injury, though not dangerous, was a very painful one, and medical aid had to be summoned. The name of the unfortunate passenger was not ascertained, as she continued her journey East notwithstanding her injury. A fence around the parsonage of the Congregational church was blown down, and at one time it was expected by those who watched it, that the tower or steeple of the church would go also. The high fence used for bill posting around the vacant lots on the southwest corner of Sixteenth and Eldd street streets, was located near Missouri's half hour ago. It looked like the Santa Ana river in the month of May. Fully twelfths of it was hid under a cover of snow and ice, and there was no indication that under this was a river which in the summer months bears upon its bosom large steamships. Across the water visibly flowing one could toss a pebble, and the majesty of the great river was only in imagination. [NO. III.] CHICAGO, March 18th. Enterprises of such a magnitude as the Chicago Citrus Fair are almost certain to be accompanied by annoying and vexatious hitches; and as this enterprise was conceived in haste and brought forth in a hurry, it is quite possible that some of the snags would have been avoided had greater time been given for more careful preparation. The proposition to hold the fair in the Exposition building had to be abandoned for presumably good and sufficient reasons, and the Armory of Battery D₁ adjoining, was secured. But it had been previously engaged for a ball to be given to-morrow night, and therefore possession of the hall can not be had until Saturday morning. It is expected, however, that the fair will open on Monday evening, as much of the preliminary work is being done, such as making the tables, etc. The Armory is well suited for a fair. It is a one-story brick building, 160x140 feet, well heated and lighted, and is a popular and respectable building. The failure to secure the Exposition building is possibly a stroke of good fortune. Mayor Harrison will deliver an address of welcome on the opening night, and invitations have been sent to hundreds of the most prominent citizens of the city, and it is understood that many of them have announced their intention of being present. I have no doubt that the fair will make a fine beginning, and am assured by those who profess to know that it will be one of the most popular "shows" given in Chicago for a long time. The managers are using energy and tact in forwarding the scheme, and it is receiving a thorough advertising in all the city papers. One of the advertising schemes now in preparation is a supplement to the Chicago Inter-Ocean. It is to be a lithograph in eight colors. The main space in the center of the picture will be a view of the fair. Across the top will be shown the railroad connections between Chicago and the various towns in Southern California, and at the bottom will be views of Anaheim, Riverside, Santa Ana, Orange and Los Angeles. It will be a valuable and pretty souvenir of the fair. The Anaheim, Santa Ana and Orange cars arrived here yesterday afternoon, and were followed later in the day by the Riverside, Los Angeles and San Gabriel cars. One of the Riverside cars containing trees was opened, and it was found that all were in good condition except the Mediterranean Sweet. Trees of the latter variety were dead enough to be quite useless for exhibi- Friday.

The injury, though not dangerous, was a very painful one, and medical aid had to be summoned. The name of the unfortunate passenger was not ascertained, as she continued her journey East notwithstanding her injury. A fence around the parsonage of the Congregational church was blown down, and at one time it was expected by those who watched it, that the tower or steeple of the church would go also. The high fence used for bill posting around the vacant lots on the southwest corner of Sixteenth and Eddy streets, was blown down, but although several persons were passing along the sidewalk at the time, none of them were injured. In one instance a pork barrel was taken up by the wind and carried a distance of nearly thirty feet, where it sailed around for some time before it fell to the ground. The rods and decorations on the tower of D. D. Dare's residence were bent and twisted, and in many cases signs were blown down and carried some distance away. In all parts of the city the wind raged with a violence it was never known to possess before, but fortunately no alarming results followed from this unprecedented and fierce visitation of the elements. A month ago, the train on which I am traveling was blocked by snow for over a day; now, but a thin coating of snow covers the face of the country. The rich, black soil is beginning to show through the white covering, and occasionally a patch is seen where the plowman has been at work, in a vain endeavor to force the season. But soon the husbandman's time for solid work will come, and the cold and bleak desolation the country now presents will give place to a more pleasing aspect. Carlyle's remark, that America had a population of fifty millions of people, mostly fools, is not far wide of the mark, when we consider that people live in this bleak region. Not only that, but they are settling in great numbers on the plains. Along the line of the railroad through Wyoming and Nebraska, at a distance of from 20 to 40 miles apart, towns have been platted and are being built, and the contiguous land is being sold by the railroad corporations. These towns are nearly all the growth of less than a year and the cluster of shanties which in the main compose them add to the forlornness of the prairies, instead of dispelling it. A railroad station, a saloon, a general merchandise store and three or four land offices with from ten to twenty buildings of a miscellaneous nature between Chicago and the various towns in Southern California, and at the bottom will be views of Anaheim, Riverside, Santa Ana, Orange and Los Angeles. It will be a valuable and pretty souvenir of the fair. The Anaheim, Santa Ana and Orange cars arrived here yesterday afternoon, and were followed later in the day by the Riverside, Los Angeles and San Gabriel cars. One of the Riverside cars containing trees was opened, and it was found that all were in good condition except the Mediterranean Sweet. Trees of the latter variety were dead enough to be quite useless for exhibition purposes. The programme now is to allow the exhibits to remain in the cars until next Saturday, when they can be transferred direct to the exhibition hall. I thought this morning that this was the most proper thing to do, but at this writing (4 o'clock in the afternoon) my views have changed somewhat. I have seen few more charming ferreous in Southern California than was this forenoon in Chicago. The sun shone brightly, there was not a breath of air, and, in fact, there was nothing more to be desired, climatically. This elysian condition of affairs continued until about two o'clock when a breeze sprung up which gradually grew so cold as to cause discomfort even to the acclimated. If it keeps on this way, the freezing point will be reached before morning with possibly disastrous results to the exhibits. But the cars are so hedged in among a wilderness of other cars that it is impossible to unload them, even if we had a better place for the storage of the fruit. This is a risk we must run. I find Chicago weather to be quite capricious; and the natives to whom I have spoken on the subject not only concur in my view but boast of that feature of the lake city as if it were one of its chief attractions. As a result of its capriciousness, however, all the delegation have bad colds, stiff joints and a general feeling of physical decrepitude. With these exceptions, we are quite well, thank you. When Senator Stanford was elected U.S. Senator by the Legislature, George Hearst was the unanimous choice of the Democratic branch of that body. In deference no doubt to that expression, Governor Stoneman has appointed Mr. Hearst to fill the unexpired term of the late Senator Miller. The appointment gives great satisfaction to the Democracy, and next to a good Republican will be accepted with the hearty endorsement of Republicans. George Hearst will, with his ability, broad views and practical experience, ably represent California in the United States Senate. Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday THE GREAT FAIR. That the Citrus Fair at Chicago is making a stir in that city is quite plain. The following extracts from the Chicago Inter-Ocean will no doubt interest the readers of the Gazette: Wednesday, March 30th. Arrangements are on foot to make an exhibition of the products of Southern California in this city during the month of April. It will include oranges, bananas, lemona, raisins, etc., all inclosed in bowers of real orange blossoms and roses. The pavilion which it is hoped will be erected in the Exposition building, will be further adorned with photographs and paintings of California scenery. It is right that the leading commission men and fruit-dealers of Chicago should take an active interest in furthering the progress of this work, which must result in so materially strengthening the position this city already holds as a great market for California products. The term "citrus fair" is a new one to many of our citizens, but as a generic title for this class of exhibition no better could be chosen. Thursday, March 11th. The citrus fair or exhibition of the fruits of Southern California, is rapidly materializing. The noble display of oranges, lemona and other fruits, with a setting of the live trees that bear them, in the annex of the Exposition building, must thrill Chicago people with a strange longing to fly to the land where such luxuriant beauties thrive in the open air. L. M. Holt, the manager, now at the Palmer House, states that several carloads of the fruit started yesterday on their long journey, and will arrive here next Tuesday or Wednesday. The fair will open just as soon thereafter as the great mass of material can be arranged in suitable shape. It is safe to say that no such delightful exhibition as this will prove to be has ever before been held in any American city. In fact, we have it upon excellent authority that this "Citrus Fair" will be the most extensive and varied ever held in the world, and the fruit shown will be the finest ever nurtured into golden beauty by Apollo's life-giving rays. It will prove a charming and invaluable education also to many of our people, who have heretofore exercised too little choice in their dealings at the fruit markets. The Inter-Ocean hails the coming of these sons of California, laden with the juicy products of their generous soil and heavenly climate. Friday, March 12th. What is a citrus fair? This is a question we now hear daily asked in Chicago. Well, fruit will be ruled to a great extent out of the market, and replaced by that of Southern California. The latter region possesses the ideal climate and soil of the continent, and us deservedly supereding all its quan-dom rivals. The brilliant assemblage of Chicago's leading citizens who will gather together on the opening evening to listen to Mayor Harrison's address of welcome will form a fitting preliminary to the great throngs that will thereafter visit the charm-ing exhibit. It was, indeed, a wise move on the part of the California gentlemen when they selected Chicago as the place in which to hold this greatest of all citrus fairs. The number of Southern Californians sojourning in this city was augmented yesterday by the arrival of several more of the promoters of the Citrus Fair. These were T. E. Langley, J. T. Kelley, L. C. Waite, E. W. Holmes, George W. Garcalon and wife and J. H. Roe and wife, of Riverside; Richard Melrose, editor of the Anaheim Gazette; J. H. Frederick and J. P. Boling, of Orange; the Hon. J. E. Clarke, Commissioner of Immigration, Los Angeles, and Dr. J. A. Crane of Santa Ana. Opening of the Fair. Chicago, March 23.-A summer-like, starry night and columns of description in the newspapers had the effect of crowding Battery D Armory this evening to witness the opening of the Southern California Citrus Fair. The fact of an admission fee being charged to defray the expenses of the exhibition and the proverbial unsatisfactoriness of a first night had no apparent effect upon the attendance. The bulk of the crowd was made up of family groups, mainly prosperous-looking citizens, accompanied by members of their households. Another prominent element was composed of persons who evidently had either visited California or been residents there. There were probably two thousand people in the hall when Mayor Harrison mounted the stage, and waving silence to the thirty musicians alongside him, began his address of welcome. He cordially indorsed the object of the exhibition, which, as he stated was to afford the people of Chicago an opportunity of seeing what the counties of Southern California are capable of producing, and to lay the foundation for trade between Chicago and that section of the Golden State. The Mayor spoke at considerable length on the mutual advantages to be derived from such trade, and closed by wishing the entire success which he declared the enterprise deserved. Commissioner Holt responded briefly. Wanted A SITUATION ON A RANCH BY A RELIABLE middle-aged man Is a good cook and capable taking charge during the owner's absence. Address P.M.

The Inter-Ocean hails the coming of these sons of California, laden with the juicy products of their generous soil and heavenly climate. Friday, March 12th. What is a citrus fair? This is a question we now hear daily asked in Chicago. Well, "citrus" is the generic name of that family of rich and inexpensive fruits which owe their refreshing sourness to citric acid, and among which oranges and lemons are the most popular varieties. It is highly appropriate, then, that the coming exhibition of oranges, lemons, and other California fruits should be called a "citrus fair." The exhibit, which will be ready for public inspection in a very few days, will be characterized by the presence of live and growing orange and lemon trees, just as they have been taken from their home in the rich soil of Southern California. The citrus fairs which have been held in San Francisco and other cities, although delightful to the public and quite successful in their way, were mere baby shows as compared with this one to be held in Chicago. Whereas all former exhibits have consisted of but a single carload of fruit, the forthcoming one, we are credibly informed, will include twenty carloads and will derive an inestimable benefit from the experience gained by its promoters in previous displays made on the Pacific coast. This is the way, however, in which Chicago does everything, and the enterprising gentlemen who are now here from California, seem to be thoroughly imbued with the spirit they find prevalent in this city. The idea of injecting a little semi-tropical balm into the rude blasts of March, is in the first place, a most charming and humane one; and there is no doubt that the plan will be carried out on the most liberal and intelligent scale. Saturday, March 13th. Already the greatest interest and curiosity is being manifested in the approaching Citrus Fair. As was published in the dispatches of yesterday, a train of twenty-four carloads of orange trees bearing fruit, and every describable fruit product of California, had left for Chicago. This will be here in a few days. The exhibit will be perfectly unique in its way, and will be a source of infinite knowledge and interest to the Chicago public. Monday, March 15th. It seems very desirable that the school children of the city, or such of them as can be accommodated, should visit the Citrus Fair, which will be opened at Battery D in a few days. There is a lamentable ignorance among both children and grown people in regard to the products of other climes than ours; how they are grown or produced and by what sort of people. Nothing gives a broader or more liberal training than a knowledge of these very things. An exposition, for this purpose, is almost as valuable as an extended tour of observation. Children are peculiarly sensitive to outward impressions, which seem to sink into their immost natures, and form part of their growth and development. Scenes of beauty and instructiveness therefore should, in all cases where possible, be set before them. What could be more desirable in this sense than an orchard of orange and lemon trees, shading a beautiful collection of the fruit they bear, and a variety of well-selected GreetingThe following dispatch was sent to Mayor Harrison of Chicago on Wednesday, and will bring good cheer to the managers of the Chicago Citrus Fair.
