Following is the letter written by Secretary Treadgold "Mr. L. J. Simpson, North Bend Ore. Dear Sir I have been instucl- cd by the Bandon Commercial Clul to write you, asking what if any au thority you have for your statement that Coos county was to be given a conression for a building site at San Francisco for the Fair? Our vice president, Mr. Geisondorfer, in-vper-' sonul conversation with tho president of the Exposition and Mr. Baker, was told there would be no county ex hibits whatever, not even from Cali fornia, also the chairman of our com mittee on Panama-Pacific Exposition matters received a letter, which ic. couched in the same terms as stated by Mr. Geisondorfer, and so in the face of this what grounds have you to base your activity for a county .buijjlingj?, We think that the county should try to nrrange for a suitnblo part of the Oregon state building, as this ib going to be one of the best buildings on the ground, with a good location, etc., nnd this is the opinion of the Club after fully considering the mat ter from all points. Trusting you will see the wisdom of this course, I beg to remain, or behalf of the Commercial Club, yours very truly. M. E. Treadgold, Secretary U. S. EXPORTS OF CORN SHOW BIG FALLING OFF.
