San Francisco was one Of the big
gcst advertisements that Cal;for1' a
ever had. Each county took &c
casion to make the most Of it, Ev-
erywhere the Grand Army boys
went they found royal welcome
in the shape Of huge piles of the
produce Of varions localities.
Piatt's Hall looked more like a
big county Fair than anything
else. The wa.ermelons, grapes,
pears, apples, peaches, figs and or
anges were in lavish profusion on
all sides. aud all to be had free by
anybody.
Some of the counties had grain.
corn and vegetable exhibits. ard if
any Of the visitors wanted informa
ton about the price Of land where
these things grew, printed pamph-
! let was handed gu. to then con
tanning everything Of interest they
| wanted to know about. The re-
suit is that thousands of people
who came to the Encampment are
preparing TO take up lands and
make permanent homes. In this
way California viii become settled
up, and millions will be added To
its taxable property.
What was Nevada doing al this
time? Nothing! The only product
that Nevada had to exhibit at its
headquarters was IA bunch of sage
brush. This was all very well as
an emblem Of the State, and adopt
cd by the G. A. L. boys to show
that they were not ashamed Of the
sagebrush State. Every Ncyadan
who called was glad to get sprig
of the green sage5rush and wear it
prominently. Still there is good !
deal to be considered in connection
with this country besides sage !
brush.
What we want IS less sagebrush |
and more grain, fruit and vege-
tables. The APPEAL hopes to sec
tho time VIXEN Nevada will cease
10 be called the Sagebrush State.
It has better climate than Cali
fornia, and everything grown here
has a tirmer, harder texture,
The Southern California fruits
will not stand transportation, be
cause they grow very rapidly in al
almost tropical sun, California
land is not to be compared with
Nevada land, yet it sells fov about
a hundred times as much, because
It is being constantly beonied.
People who come here can get no
whatever about Nevada
and or Nevada products. They
inquire, set no answer, ana pass on
o California, where they are re-
;eiyed with open arms.
The next Legislature should ap
,rorriate $iG,000 for building 10
,e erected in this city where it can
,e near the State Land Office, and .
n this structure there should De a
onstant exhibition of Nevada ores
rains, grasses, fruit aud vegc- {
ables. There should be immcdi- {
tely available all the printed In I
ormation possible about the differ '
Mt localities of the State, and if !
his plan was inteliigentiy pursued, /
e.o:c long this State would pay +
or that building By the increase in t
aZa5le property. II
