your endorsement. We understand
that it is the intention of your honor
able body to send such statements and
information as the HERALD Pamphlet
contains to different parts of the
United States, and for this purpose we
offer you the HERALD Pamphlet in
quantities and at prices as per memo
randum enclosed. Your early action
upon this will oblige,

The communication was referred to
the Committee on Newspapers and
Publications.
A communication from G.. V. Hall
was read, proposing to furnish 5000
copies of the next issue of HATS Land
Journal for the use of the Chamber for
the sum of $3.50. Referred to the same
committee.
The following communication was
also presented and took the same
course:
To the President and Directors of
| the Chamber of Commerce.:
GENTLEMEN.-Asi it is almost self
evident that the most favored county
in the State cannot be fully represent
ed during the great opening fair at
Philadelphia, except, perhaps, in one
of its productions, viz: wines; would
it not he well to prepare small vol
ume of statistics that would accurately
present y perfect picture of all that
which cannot be otherwise presented,
to that vast representative and inquir-
ing body? Say ten thousand copies in
phamphlet form, rigidly and exactly
gotten up, and to be entitled as fol-
lows: "An Epitome of the Great
California, Presented TO the Visitors of
delphia, 1876, by the Authority of the
Chamber of Commerce and the Mayor
and Common Council Of the City of
| Los Angeles.n
The very best gotten up newspapers,
and we think the press of this city Is
about equal to the best in the State,
will be merely volatile in that mighty
surging mass, still they will be caught
up and do great good; but if you en-
body what the county and city is in
book form, people will put in their
pockets if they have not time to read
it during the eXcitement-put it in
their trunks and carry it home with
them to be read and digested months
after the exhibition is over. You can
not meet people this way with news
paper. Such an advertisement is a
thousand fold more permanent than
in any other mode or manner of pre-
sentation. Doubtless the Common
Council would readily appoint COM
mittee to confer with similar COM
mittee appointed by your body in ref
erence to the matter, provided the
same shonld be deemed advisable. In
that event the two committees could
act as a joint executive committee,
fully empowered to carry out the sug-
gestions of the respective bodies.
Very respectfully yours,
VIM. MCPHERSON.
Los Angeles, CAL, Jan. 18th, 1876.

be granted to either of the Texas and

was participated in by Judge Widney,

tion in accordance With the spirit of

of Southern Trans Continental Road
on or near the 32d parallel, give to the
Company that will first build said
