REMARKS OF Mr.. GREEN.
Gentlemen Of the Convention The sugges
ton Of the committee that | preside at thi,
| meeting took me by surprise and hence
am not prepared with any statement of the
object Of the meeting. am therefore very
glad that Mr.. Rideout prepared and reat
| such a statement. When | see so many
| gentlemen before me of eminent qualifca,
tons in this line-are 50 eminently quail
fed to serve in the capacity of presiding
Otficer-I feel my unWOrthiness for this
position.
The committee, however. perhaps dis
| cerned something in my untiring work fol
the benefit Of northern California, and
might say myself that my eXertions in that
| behalf have been untiring. | have worked
in my way not as a public speaker nor as a
| presiding officer 10 accomplish this end.
We have met here 10 organize and plan
the development of the resources OF an
| immense empire. There is no other such
country in the world as that formed by the
watershed of the Sacramento river. There
| is no other such country, and there is no
| such climate elsewhere. Its productions,
although the country has been developed
| but few years, astonish even those OF
| us who have been here since 1919 and the
! Oldest of US know nothing as yet of the
| capacity Of this district of the State.
| have met results, and have seen growths
that have astonished me. | sec upon our
! plains, that but few years ago were con
sidered arid grape vines planted, and
which, with fair cultivation. and without
irrigation, produce grapes equal to the best
in our State Fruits Ofall kinds, where in
dustry is applied to their cultivation, are
raised without the means that are consid-
cred 80 important in other sections.
We need now intelligent capital first and
intelligent labor next. All this intelligent
ly applied viii make this country of ours
the center of population of the United
States. = Westward the course Of empire
takes its way" immigration will pile up
on the Pacific coast like leaves against a
fence Emigration never goes east, and the
man who comes to this State seldom re-
turns to live in the land from whence he
came l have no doubt that in time the
Sacramento valley will be the center Of the
nations population. We have the soil and
we have the climate, and if we desire irri-
CATION we have the water 10 irrigate with
We can apply this water cheaper than in
any other portion Of this State. But, as !
said before, we can cultivate our lands
without irrigation.
We who have been here for number of
years can see the advantages Of this section,
and ii is our duty 10 act together and pro-
mitigate knowledge Of these advantages
and advance the development Of this sec
ton. We are now ready for business.
LIST OF DELEGATES.
Mr.. Filcher said it was desirable 10 have
the names Of the delegates who were pres
ent, and moved that the Secretary call a
roll of the counties embraced in the portion
of the State represented here, and as each.
county was called the delegates from that
county would rive their names to the Sec
retary. He also stated that there were a
number of persons present who were not
accredited to the Convention as delegates
but he understood that il was the sense of
the Convention that all who came from the
| section embraced in the general call should
! enter into free conference and that they
would be welcome 10 participate in the
| proceedings OF the Convention. He thought
| il would be well 10 make up list of the
| representatives of the various counties
without regard to whether the delegates
| had been regularly selected or not
| The motion was carried unanimously.
| The Secretary then called or the various
| counties, and the delegates announced
! their names. The list as thus taken is as
! follows:
