Jo tfuhi H inir iintirefWHon of t ipso ' rcsultfl, one intiht tukn a viewnoint Hint permits a broad perspective of the' exposition ns a whole. Viewed thus, one ennnot fall to sco that the general impression carried away I13 the 10,000,000 visitors was ono of uniiualificd amirnvnl ami nrniap. Tln flint, irivnu llui inilirMnnl fft i.l.

It is hard to over ehtiiualo this xitit in judging of the results to ucerne from n participa tion in tho work there. Tho average lisitor was doubtless impreshed most strongly by somo ono or few features, varying wiiii Ins interests nnd tem perament, but the value of any im pression that ho carried away with Mm was projKirtiountcly high or low s tho general impression of tho fair ns a whole was pleasing or otherwise. AJI Well ncn-sod I believe the assertion enn bo fairly made that practically all tho visitora wcru wen pleased with what thuy cniiio to see; left with n sense of be ing well treated and given their mon ey'" worth. This fact is of fiit im. portnneo. It is duo to many causes -among which might be mentioned the open-hcartedness of the people of San Francisco and California; their well-known ability to entertain which comes largely from tin appro elation of the economio ndvantagc of imiting the stranger within their gales and seeing that he i well treat ed when he comes; the great pains giwn to the more oMhetie side of tho I'Ajiobition'w structure (which includes uie exiiiihito sculpture, architecture, lighting effects and landscape gar lciiing), and last, but not least, tho largo place that strictly entertaining features placed in tliu exposition ac tivities. So, firstly, let us clearly nijireci uto the fticl that tho isitora went borne with the certainty that for ninny v...n i cunio nicy would look back linn uie nays spent at the cnehanting jewel city, as mnoiig (he ha)piest nnd most entertaining of their lives, lingo .VHciuliMiru Tho Second inmoi-liiit r.in...n !.. Hint tho exposition was very well at tended nnd that tho attendunco was nlnioMt limited to Americans, u very largo proportion of whom came from ho eastern and middle western Mutes, from which tho const must look for its newcomers. The total at tendance was n little under 10,000, 000. That is n nation of people. It s snfo to say, I bcliou-, that no sco tion of the United Slates failed to W'Mjl such 11 quoin or that total that it did not riven a decided impulse ", "' "ni goon impression oncerning H, Ieir,0 fmhi bll(oN J know tlllS from IHn.mml .. .. tion with Usitorb from every bection oi tho Union.

"It appreciably reduces the amount of the household budget for tho mouth."

Undor fair conditions and good mnnagoment n public market should succeed where the city population Is sufficient to exact a domnnd equal to the Hunt.lr of tho rural districts. Tho fact that tho Mcdford public mnr- ket has succeeded Is duo to tho in tercut generally taken by producers to supply n flrst-clnss qunllty of truck- nnd nients nnd to the modern methods employed by Sunorlntondont K.

This prevents tho abnormally high prices that obtain In many places among rctnllcrs In tho stores In which fresh produce is merely nn Incident of tho business.
