neither be bored with long speeches, sur

! things that they do not wish to see. They
| Will not be impressed with the idea that
/ they are being used to advertise the State
nor Will there be concealment of the fact
! that we Wish them 10 better understand
this section of their common country
and thereby become prouder that they
are citizens Of the nation.

California immigration literature, but
they will be given the unadorned facts
and statistics Of soil production, COM
merce, mining and climate of each section
! they visit, in compact FORM for the pur-
| poses OF intelligent Information.
| These visitors will neither be worn out
! by receptions nor confined to cities or
/ towns, or rushed in hot haste through
/ the country. There will be no ostenta-
tious display, but no lack of bounteous
hospitality.
There will be no fancy balls and
! parade banquets for them, but rational
entertainment, bountiful and managed
! by men having at heart the good of the
State and not moved by vanity. They
will be cordially welcomed by the pro-
| prietors, editors and press people of San
/ Francisco and by the business and lead
| ing men Of the metropolis. In the country
| they will meet and be received and es-
corted by citizens of discretion, repre-
! sentative and having California as d
/ whole and her best interests at heart.
