COAST COUNTIES ASSOCIATION
MEETS AT SAN MATEO.
May Decide to  Maintain  an Exhibit   at the  St. Louis
Exposition.
ALL    REPORTS.  FAVORABLE.
The California Central Coast
Counties Improvement Association
held a meeting at Sau Mateo oil
Thursday with a full representation
from each of the six counties in
the association.
President V.A.Scheller allied the
meeting to order at io o'clock and
. the matter of improving the central coast section ot thc State was
taken up  and discussed at length.
The., delegates strongly favored
the mflintttiuing of au enhihil from
the six counties at I.os Angeles
during the winter season, but of
course this is subject to the individual counties concerned.
The proposition will lie placed
before the Board of Tratle of each
county and if they approve the
plan the general organization will
proceed with the work.
They also discussed the proposed
work of the United States Arid
I,;tml Commission in this State, and
a committee was appointed to ascertain the exact intm-jois and
scope of the work to be done in the
six counties, especially in the hilly
sections of Monterey, San Luis
Obispo and Santa Barbara counties
where extensive irrigation is required.
It was thought that large exhibits in the principal cities of the Kast
and especially at the great fairs,
like the one to be held in St. Lotus,
would be of great material benefit
to California, and a committee composed of I'aul Shoup of Sau Jose.
J. F. l-arkinson of Palo Alto and
J. M. Roll of Santa Clara was
appointed to collect necessary in
formation and arrange plans lor
such exhibit. If it decides to
maintain au exhibit from the coast
counties at this exposition, the
t-onunittee will make it otic of the
chief features of the fair. It would
lie hard Xo find a more representative committe than the three named.
Mr. Shoup, of Sau Jose, is one of
the most tireless workers in the [the meeting
promotion scheme and has done
more towards bringing settlers to
Cntili-ruin-limn any oUier ten men.
Mr. Roll hits served Sim tit Clara
county a number of years as Supervisor and is a well known advocate
for the advancement of bis section, and California as well.
Mr. Parkinson; while not in a position to accomplish tbe same kind
of work done by   Mr. Shoup,   is
thc beautiful country around San
Mateo and Btirlingamc, and were
shown the many costly aud elegant residences. The next meeting
will be at Hollistcr ou thc third
Thursday of November.
The delegates from Palo Alto
were J. I;. Parkinson aiul Frank
Kasson and  both   were  present at
