Concerning CalIfornia-Some Errors
Critical, Cosby, Statistical and
other Accounts.

represented in the late edltOrlal eAcuT-
sion to California, the REcoRD-UNIoN
presents the following:
The Sandwich (Ill.) Argus gives excel
lent accounts of the country traverSed,
points out what immense Dement'S nave
flowed to the coast by railroad building
in advance of the warrant Tor 1t, and
speaks most flatteringly Of the climate,
soil productions and probable future or
California. There is no eXaggeratlon nor
no mere praise, but Intelligent criticism.
The Revere (Mass.) Journal gives
rapid running account OF the VISITATION,
saw things clearly and very frankly eX-
presses its satisfaction with the State.
The Republican salem, 1nd.) Leader
gives a rapid, fair account OF what was
seen ell route, commends the productive
SOIL admits error of view relative To the
Chinese evil. 1t says of Sacramento that
it appears to be thriving city, and Sac
ramento has done more than any other
city to make the editorial heart glad"
The Columbia Mo- Herald says seal
ifornia presents a picture to the stranger
never to be forgotten 1t treats intelli-
gently of soil and yield. of cost OF Guilt
walton, cost of orchard care, prices OF
land, etc.
The Centerville (Md.) Observer writes
lucidIy of what was seen, and noticeably
of the fruit culture. The weather did
not please the Observer; it was too hot or
too cool-it was not understood.
The Abilene (Tex.) Reporter found IN
California very many things that
astonished and pleased, but IL makes
every object-lesson a text for Abilene
people, and upon which it lectures. To
show them that by irrigation and follow
ing California examples they can have
just as great results in Texas and make
their lands as valuable and productive,
except in citrus lines. The heat at Los
&c,
planned of, but the wonders of irrigation
lauded. Stockton is pronounced the most
busy city seen, and sacramento, like all
capitals" is wanting in business enter
prise in comparison.
The Monroe County (Afo.) appeal gives
gossipy account, thinks San Francisco
overgrown, likes the interior, praises the
miners, and commends California gener
ally.
The Hudson wis., Star and Times is
intelligent, full. fair and vigorous in it's
criticism. The heat is complained Of but
excused. Sacramento Is spoken well OF,
but this criticism appears: The Chi
nese element has encroached very closely
upon the commercial centers-the city is
not inviting in its business departments.
Still it is place of great wealth and in
fluence," etc. The account then goes on
to speak of Sacramento'S trade interests,
its fine location, schools, manufacturing,
1TulI SDlpul6HIS, JOUDlllS DuSlHtSS, 0tC.s
and commends its street railway service,
its fine highways, handsome homes, etc.
1t returns thanks to j. Z. Wiseman, of
the RECORD UNION business department,
for escort about the city. OF the Sacra-
mento Valley the Star and Times formed
just judgment and makes excellent eX-
preston. 1t cOmmendS Stockton, Lodi,
and the San Joaquin Valley also.
The Brazil Duly Qnd.) Democrat has
little to say except Of the Chinese evil,
which it finds to be a curse to the State.
1t commends Californians for pushing
the State upon public notice. 1t insists
that no State is better for home than In
diana. Its account of Sacramento is very
pleasant, complimentary, and thanks are
returned to DIR. and Mrs. Mealand and
Mrs. j. b. Fortune for entertainment and
escort.
The Norwalk (O.) Reflector gives run
ming and correct and statistical and de-
scriptive account of the State, up to the
points reached in issues thus far received,
and these do not yet touch Central and
Northern California.
The Shelby County (O.) Democrat gives
an elaborate, critical review of the State,
production, irrigation, yield, etc., and
finds mosC to commend and little to OBJ
ject to. The accounts have not reached
the center and north sections. So far as
given they are very full and critical.
The Republic City (Kan.) NeaoS gives
rapid, correct statement of what was
seen, and notably of fruit culture in the
Sacramento Valley, and production in
SOnOma County.
The Marshalltown 1a.) Statesman gives
pleasant account of the trip, complains
of the heat but excuses it, is astonished
at our wheat growing, vineyard and or
chard culture; makes strong plea for
subdivision of big ranches, declares
large land holding to be California's
10 81,
for cereal agriculture in the world. Sac
ramento is commended for the informal
lty and care and comfort of its reception
OF the visitors.
The Seymour Conn., Record gives
gossipy, pleasant accounts of the trip,
neither critical nor statistical in any
notable degree, but still the correspond
ent saw good clearly, and but little that
met with his distavor. The Record, how
ever, enlargeS somewhat upon raisin-
growing and vineyard culture.
The Huntsville (Texas) Item has very
rapid, gossipy review of the trip, and
makes no adverse criticisms
The Pawtucket (R. H. Gazette and
Chronicle accounts have not vet reached
North and Central California, but so far
as written are Intelligent, critical and
statistical.
The Traer Iowa Star Clipper has very
exhaustive reviews of grape-growing,
N1hG-OlOSSlDS lIuIl IN Cali
fornia and of soil growth generally. IT
treats intellgently of all seen in Califor-
mia, and is deeply impressed with the
claims of the State, the fertility of the soil
and the hospitality of the people.
The Rocks County (kas.) Record pre-
sents excellent reviews of the trip, that
show comprehension of the California
system of culture of soil growth, the
mineral wealth, the climate and the gen
eral capacity of the State to maintain a
large population.
The Lewiston (Pa.) Free Press, in
very pleasant account of Sacramento.
says: 1--WE thought we had experienced
California hospitality before, but our re-
ception here was beyond all our former
experience" Its accounts of California
are intelligent and fair and to consider
able extent statistical.
The Waukesha wis., Freeman is
greatly pleased with the State and con-
cludes tiattering general notice as fol-
lows: What mighty commonwealth is
California. How vast its resources, how
diversified its climate, its products and
its beauties. An empire within itself.
Its people need ask for nothing from for
eign lands and yet live in luxury beyond
that ordinarily enjoyed"
The Fairbault (Minn.) Republican saws
of the trip: 1T was an educational ex.1e
rience that cannot but be highly benefi-
cial to all who participated in il. since il
conveyed by object lessons information
and ideas concerning the territory Wis
tied, its geography, resources and charac-
teristics OF its population, that no amount
OF coming of books and the current liter
AZURE of the age could have imparted.n
The Critic Providence. r. Il says at
the conclusion of its brief but freanent
notes of the trip: ''These Californians are
undoubtedly the most hospitable of any
people in the world. They give away
their fruits and wines by wholesale.
