Sacramento daily record-union. [volume] (Sacramento [Calif.]) 1875-1891, 1884-08-30

hensive, continuous and untiring presenta-
ton in truth, and without
particle of concealment or exaggeration,
Of the advantages and disadvantages OF
central and northern California. This
should not be done by independent action
of communities, but by Joint effort. We
need to work together-to pool our claims
and take what comes; we must build up
title valuation in the words central and
northern California" as has been done in
southern California" The communities
from Siskiyou to Calaveras, and from the
Sonoma line to FL Dorado, should covenant
together. raise the necessary means, and
push this work. In five years time they
can put 100000 more of desirable people
into the counties of this section, give new
impetus to trade. advance the value of the
whole section, and lessen the burdens of
taxation. They have basis for action
that no other section can rival, and claims
that are undeniable and need but to be pre-
scented.
In another part of this journal some pre-
pared statements of general character are
presented, concerning some of the counties
of the central and northern section. 1t is
but single effort, indicating what may be
done if u more elaborate and detailed treat
ment is entered upon. So far as it could,
this journal has for many years been per-
sistent in these presentations of the claims
of this section. 1t has not lost an oppor-
tunity to advance the interests of the
northern and central divisions, without, at
the same time, disparaging the commend
able efforts made by our brethren at the
south. Nor will we cease in this
work. We shall aim to do our
full duty as public journal
in this regard, just as we have in the past.
OF the matter presented this morning, and
which may be accepted as reliable in every
respect, we shall make wise circulation,
dispatching to many Eastern and European
sections a very large special edition of the
paper containing it, and giving it as broad
circulation as we can, in addition to the
reading ii will have by reason Of our wide
general circulation abroad and at home.
But we submit that something more is
needed. and that the merchants, traders,
agriculturists, bankers and manufacturers
of the central and northern counties could
give nothing more valuable to their COM
munities than some days of undivided at
tention to tho question of ways and means
of advertising the two sections jointly, and
by union of forces, for. say the next three
years. To that end there should be raised
a fund, and it should be placed under the
direction of a competent commission and
expended with discretion. a convention
of representative citizens of northern and
central California, and especially of the
towns of Woodland, Marysyille, Jackson,
Chico, Red Bluff, Suisun, Placervillc, Co.
lusa, Shasta, Yreka, Yuba City, Nevada,
Grass Valley, Folsom, Gait, Sacramento
City, Auburn. Willows, Dixon and lone
might well be held in this city during the
coming State Fair to consider this subject.
To that end we suggest TO citizens of those
places, and of the counties generally inter-
ested, to appoint representatives to such a
convention to be held at Sacramento on the
second Tuesday of the State Fair
