Sacramento daily record-union. [volume] (Sacramento [Calif.]) 1875-1891, 1886-12-04
OUR FORTHCOMING SPECIAL EDITION.

The RECoRD-UNIoN has, as one Of its
chief aims, the building up and full de-
velopment of Central and Northern Cali
fornia, but all the work it does in this
direction does not appear Immediately
upon its pages As a single instance, we
cite that in October this journal sent out
to selected representative citizens Of the
central and northern sections ten thousand
carefully-prepared letters, pointing out
the pressing necessity for union of effort
and vigorous individual exertion in dis
seminating correct information at the East
concerning the region, and the certain ben
efts that must result.
These letters presented the columns of
the REcoRD-UNIoN freely to the people
for the publication of important facts and
thoughts bearing upon the one great end
in view, and advised those addressed to
engage in active and immediate mission
airy effort in their respective communities
to awaken the people to the great possible
tiles of Northern and Central California
Some weeks ago we editorially stated
that our advices indicated decided awak-
ening on the subject through all the sec
ton named We have knowledge that the
appeal was well received, and proves an
important aid to the efforts of the Immi-
grafton Associations. We have received,
as an immediate result, great deal of
valuable information and statistical data
from citizens thus addressed, and the assur-
ance that the sentiment of the people is
intensifying upon the question. We are
utilizing for publication, also, all useful
matter on the general subject sent to US
by these correspondents, and shall con-
tinue in this good work until the fruits of
the labor accomplish what we know can be
attained
The RECORD UNION in this holiday
season will vary somewhat from its long
custom of issuing a special number devoted
to local statistics and expository of local
affairs. 1t will devote the forthcoming
special issue for 1867 exclusively to
Northern and Central California immigra-
ton work, and to papers, illustrations sta
tistics, and proofs of all kinds of the
capacity of the soil and climate of the re-
gion. 1t will thus be the most valuable
issue of the paper ever put to press, and
will be especially adapted to circulation
abroad It's wide and discreet distribution
in the East is assured and was a part of
our plan from the outset, but it can be
greatly augmented by the personal efforts
of the people of Northern and Central
California They should file their orders
for copies desired at once that our edition
may be made adequate for all demands
The holding of the Citrus Fair in De
cember is opportune for our special edition,
and will enable US to embody the imme-
date results of that exposition in the
special issue. The Citrus Fair Association,
approaching, as it did that of last year
which it aided in widely circulating, the |
immense value of such publication by the
REcoRD-UNIoN, has contracted for a very
large number of copies of the forthcoming
edition, which it will use for circulation at
the East. The beneficial results of the
wide distribution of our Citrus Fair edi-
tion in 1885, and of our Grand Army |
edition in August last, has convinced US of
the effectiveness Of the policy here indi-
Gated, and that it is far more beneficial to
the community than labors purely local in
character.
