REMARKS OF n. D. IIDEoUT.
Loud calls were here made for n. D.
Rideout. as President of the Northern Cali
fornia immigration Association, and he
arose and said: [ have nothing to say, gen
tlemen, about the editors. except to thank
them for what they have done and are do
|
migration for long time, and | may be
pardoned few remarks upon that topic
The development of the northern and CEN
trail portions of our State is of the utmost
| Importance; but it is an enterprise Of great
| magnitude. These regions constitute an
empire in extent, and in their advantages
and resources are unequaled throughout
| the world. Their area is equal to that of
New York and Pennsylvania combined,
| great, popalous and wealthy States, and,
| with our climate those regions can support
as many people as those two States
| To awaken a spirit favorable to immi-
| grafton among our own people is a labor
that those who have not actively engaged
] in it can family appreciate Outside of the
| large cities, northern and central California
| has only four people to the square mile
| while in the New England States, with
| resources less than ours, there is a
population of 12l to the square
mile. If we had the dense popu-
lation that old barren New England
has, we would have ten million people
! north of the southern line of San Joaquin
county; and this means for the Queen CITY
of the Golden Gate million people and
over, and for the Capital City hundred
thousand 1t means marvellous growth in
all the towns and villages il the northern
part of the State. Itmeans new towns in
ell the valleys and foothills. II means an !
increase in trade, commerce, manufactures
and wealth. To bring all this about re-
quires united effort on the part of |
all Our people. The State Immi- |
grafton Association at San Fran |
cisco, and our Society here, aided by |
Sacramento ard some other counties, are |
endeavoring to bring about this great de |
slderatum; and in this connection we have |
tl,n al,
the press of northern and central Califor- |
mia, for which, on this occasion, we desire |
to render our Acknowledgements. We ask |
their assistance in the future We feel |
that the people, in their own interest |
should aid and assist us in this great |
wok. In the short time that we have |
been engaged in the undertaking, we have |
issued a pamphlet concerning our resources,
of an edition of 10000 copies and it is being |
circulated among the people of the Eastern
States and Europe.
We have nearly ready monthly issue, |
descriptive of the locality, which will be |
placed in the hands of every one of the
large number now arriving. We are con-
fident that our part Of the State within the
next 80 days will feel the beneficial effects
ofour work, and that within the next twelve
months it will feel such q stimulus as has
been experienced in Southern California
for the last four or five years.
We must develop our resources to the
fullest extent. In the past we enjoyed the
trade of Oregon, Idaho Washington and
Montana. That trade has all been taken
away to judge of the extent of the loss. it
Is only necessary to refer to the figures
From 1862 to 1888 the trade Of Idaho with
California amounted to one hundred mil
lions Of dollars; to-day, Chcag go has it all.
We must apply all our energy to the build
ing up of our State, develop our bountiful
advantages and make the most of them.
and eventually make our State what Provi-
dence destined it to bc--the richest, most
productive and grandest commonwealth in
the world. tApplause.l
REMARKS OF NJ. D. BoRuCK.
Mr. Boruck said 1t is not my purpose.
sir to make a speech. The language of
flowers is exhausted in the brilliancy of the
day, and the language of rhetoric has been
exhausted here tonight by gentlemen
much more capable to address you than l.
If what has taken place to-day does nothing
more, it elucidates what principle may be
Involved in woman rights 1t has placed
upon pedestal so high that it may be seen
by the people of the whole world. We have
placed upon a pedestal of honor, and of
glory, and of renown, the woman who by
her goodness has been entitled to all the
respect that has been paid to her. Ny
object i'll rising is to say to
the invited guests here, and trust
they will not think me presuming
IN speaking for them all, that we return
our earnest and sincere thanks for the J
kindness and courtesy shown us all by the |
Board of Trade and the citizens of Sacra- !
mento, and ask you, gentlemen of the S
press and invited guests, 20 join with me
ii giving three hearty cheers for the Board c
Of Trade of Sacramento. I
tfhe cheers were given with a Will {

Board of Trade of the City OF Sacramento" f

Mr.. Joseph Steffens, to respond. 1t
Mr. Stcffens We noticed, gentlemen,
hat on to-day's programme as designed
0me days ago, there was a vacancy be- e
wecn the afternoon and the evening cXer- +
Uses and it occurred TO some of us that
here was . class in this State to whom we q
WED great deal, and we thought we 7
might entertain them somewhat by giving {;
hem kind of a twilight reunion, and
hereby IN some degree show our apprcci-
ton of their kind efforts in our behalf |
"a lew years ago We merchants of Sacra-
nento barely understood one another: in
act we hardly communicated with each y
ther; we very seldom met except at tu- 81
eral, and then the pall-bearers were the
My ones that were brought into close con- b
act and funeral is not exactly the occa- 81
ion to discuss business interests. -
The result was that every little while "a
ONE merchant would go up the country to
nd attach some man who was trading
nth all or many of us, and between the u'
Merchant, the debtor. the lawyers and the n,
curt, the man was cleaned out" so TO III
