 and what 1t proposes 10 accomplish:
 To us the year has been one of unusual pros perlty Our journal bas strengthened its rela. uons with the business community as ia seen In our columns crowded with advertisemcnts Tn has become widely known and popnlarly appreci. aied, as Is indicated by is largely increased and rapidly increasing circulation We uoint with something Of pride tO our news department and claim that for enterprise and reliability it Is equaled by none of our contemporaries and in this respect exceiled by but few American iourn. als. Our commercial articles are faithful state. ments Of our domestic and foreign trade and may always be depended upon as reliable To our edi. torial department we point and claim that for range Of topics and for abe and fearless discus. sion Of all questions, local and general. we have no superior; and yet the Chronicle has not at iained that point of excellence which we hope to reach as VIC gain experience and age natures our Judgment. We shall make this TIE paper Of tbe Pacific. We shall not weary in our effort till the Chronicle stands cOnfcssedly aI the head of the Pacific press and without rival upon the coast.
