announcements will not be followed. While
the paper will, of course, be especially
valuable as an advertising medium. the
purpose is TO make the issue one of especiaI
interest and value to the whole public and
the distant readers, as an exposition of the
products, resources and climatology of
northern and central California, and the
desirability of those sections for the in

While these considerations will have
especial attention, the general interests and
inviting character of the whole State will
not be lost sight of, or neglected The col

statistics of the State Government nor to
literary matter, to the exclusion of more
vital immigration topics. The aim will be

Havailed OF, rs has been too frequently the
case with special editions of papers inten ded
to invite attention to this section.
The announcement of these intentions is
made at this time, that agents everywhere.
and citizens generally, may early embrace
the opportunity to make their orders and
to furnish lists to supplement those already
secured for direct mailing over a vast ex-
Panse Of the worlds territory, and to peo-
pie it is especially desirable to reach with
reliable information regarding the resour-
ces Of the State, and its disturbances for
those seeking to found homes away from
the populous centers of the East and of
Europe
The actual circulation now guaranteed
for the special edition, experimenting the
regular and general circulation of the
RECORD UNION, guarantee an enormous dis
tribution of the journal, such as has never
before been given to any interior paper.
Such paper rs is now being prepared, it

highest value to those who feel an interest
in the present welfare and the future pros
perity of this State, and are solicitous that
it shall be speedily settled and all its posi-
bilities early developed. Such citizens will
see in the scheme presented an unequalled
opportunity to reach Eastern friends and
correspondents with trustworthy and ex-
haustive information regarding California.
They should not delay in notifying this Of
flee OF the number of copies of the edition
that they viii desire us to mail on their
order.
In the treatment of the subjects indi-
Gated, the advantages of Sacramento as the
natural trade center of a vast and Develop
ing area Of the State, will not be neglected,
but will be presented in a manner that will
prove most beneficial to the city and its
business.
While the edition already assured will be
immense we again call attention that it is
especially desirable that orders stating how
many copies are wanted by agents and in
diyiduals, and how many it is desired we
shall mail to addresses to be furnished.
shall be filed at very early day, that the
edition may be made fully adequate to all
demands.
