the estimation of our people at the East
must result in practical gain to every
home interest.
California wants more people; it has
capacity to support millions: it needs
Eastern capital, energy. pluck and spirit
TO reinforce our own. In the south part

Boom literature and immigration pam

whose papers address people upon whom

speaking TO a clientage of ten millions of
people from Maine to Texas.

mining, being the first excursion of
Eastern people ever taken into repre-

entertainment, to take large portion OF
