THE LATEST.
THE NORTHERN AND CENTRAL
CALIFORNIA CONVENTION.
Action Being Taken-Expressions of
OpiniOn-The Opening OF
the Meeting.

coming Northern and Central California
Its purposes are now well
and the cordial reception
with which the call for the meeting has
met, is a warrant for belief in its success.
The sentiment is pronounced that the Con-
venfon should not let this new movement
be absorbed by any established immigra
ton organization. Its purposes are
IN HARMONY
With all immigration and development
efforts now on foot in the State and it can
have no antagonisms with any. But the
- new movement - is a local one, to broaden
public intelligence regarding Northern and
Central California, and the resources and
claims of that and no other section. The
new effort, it is held, should relate solely
10 our own section, and that this is wise
policy cannot be doubted, in the light Of
the successes that have been recorded in
other sections as the result of similar eff
forts. If Northern and Central California,
the interests and claims of which are iden-
teal, act together and preserve the identity
of the region in that effort, the result will
begin to be apparent in less than year.
Yesterday LOCO circulars giving the
place and hour Of meeting were distrib-
uted and posted, inviting strangers in the
city interested in the section, landowners,
capitalists, farmers, manufacturers, traders
merchants, and all Others who feel that the
effort being made is commendable, TO at
tend the Convention.
