! EDS. RECoRD-UN MON: AT an Informal
meeting of business men of this place, l
was selected as a delegate to represent
! Nevada City in the Convention in Sacra-
mento, held on the 10th instant, to con-
| slider concert of action to induce settling up
| of Northern California. Iregret very much
that l was absolutely unable, on account of
pressing business, to attend; but l consider
the movement thus inauglrated Of prime
Importance to the prosperity of this part of
the State, constituting as it does such vast
portion of cur royal domain
THE CAPABILITIES OF NORTHERN CALIFORNIA
To support a large population cannot be
oyer-eNtima;ed, and the resources of this
portion of our State may be said, without
being unjust to the fair land constituting
! Southern California-a desert a generation
agO-to be equal if not superior thodgh

! the latter section. Southern California
! products may be termed as essentially
" horticultural such as oranges, lemons,
! olive, figs, raiSins, prunes, walnuts and
other such fruits: while those of northern
and central California are more varied and
! Include horticultural agricultural, mining
! and manufacturing, or can successfully De

| Will here illustrate my subject by citing
the Bartlett pear. | do not believe that
| there Is any green fruit that can be trans
ported across the continent with SO much
satet, as the Bartlett pear, OF any other
kinds OF pears, which grow to perfection in
this-sectlon OF the State, and which are IN
50 great demand east off Sierra Nevada !
Now. company that would be established !
with view OF mahinga speciality OF th"t
| fruit could, IN central and northern Caiifor- |
MIA, make the Bartlett season last two |
months, instead OF t},O weeks by Judi |
ciouS selection OF attitudes in which TO keep |
| its various orchards. One, for instance |
may be planted right in the Sacramento |
valley the first one too, from which to |
gather pears to ship East the second one |
would be somewhere in tho foothills and |
tT-y1Tr Il a.
later than in the valleys and the third one |
a; higher altitude. like that Of Nevada |
City, with the crop to be picked still two |
weeks later than III the foothills: and in |
this way could each orchard be used in TO- |
tation, yielding its supply OF fruit one after |
another and thus enable Us 10 keep on for |
fully two months supplying the Eastern |
market with this delicious fruit--a fit val |
for the ORANGE.
