We append few extracts showing the
summing UP by other OF our Eastern
| contemporaries, and illustrating the inn
| pressions made by the visitation:
! FARMERS Friend AID Grange Advocate, Me
cnanicsburg, Pa.
We have imagined and dreamed Of the
Pacific Coast. We have read varied de-
scriptions from the brightest and keenest
Of pens. We have heard from the silver
IDDkueu lecturer Oh us DGdutlcS anu re-
| sources, its grandeur and mdgniiicence
its yield and profit. Our Imagination has
| tumbled all this information about in
wonderment. The reality of California
very decidedly dwarfs Imagination and
outlaws the old copy-bool sentence OF
anticipation and realization.
[Norwalk (O.) Daily Rehector.l
The open-handed hospitality of the peo-
pie Of California has long been proverbial
nd ~
occasion during our visit To that great
and glorious state. Everything possible
was done for our comfort, every want
was anticipated and supplied. and all
California seemed intent on finding out
what else could be done to enhance the
pleasure OF our trip-aud then doing it.
dover tDel.) Index.l
Before we set out upon this journey We
thought we had n fairly accurate idea O
our country. We had read books anC
magazines containing clear and detailed
descriptions OF it, but the ideas and i'm
pressions thus formed dwindled into IN
significance when compared with those
produced by the actual contact of the eye
with the beauties, the greatness and til,
wonders that met US on every side.
North st. Paul (hIinn.) Sentinel
The trip was fortunate for the editors
as they thereby secured long and enjoy
able trip, full OF interest and instruction
through new lands and new scenes
gaining enlarged views as to the magni
tcent resources of our common country
and correct ideas as to the region alon:
the Pacific Coast, OF which they had hear(
so much, but really knew so little. l
was fortunate for California since sh,
will get an amount of valuable advertis
ing rs to her climate, products and at
, fractions, which she could have secured
in no other way.
Media (Pa.) Americana
Concluding handsome reference t.
Sacramento: These enterprising people
invariably take the best which is offered
and do not wait like clans for some slimy
tide to cover them. Progress means tn
acceptance of the best offered, and thu
mental dudes who oppose ought in con
! sistency to go naked lest the fashions
should be improved next year. This il
the year the Caliiornians are after, and i
+ the next offers better they will take bu
will not wait for il. -
[Newtown Qnd.) Journal
What do we think of California? It i
nation in and of itself-enbracing al
chimes, producing all cereals, all fruits
rich in ores and minerals, having within
! itself every element for all conditions anC
desires of mankind. IL is q State that n,
tourist can afford 10 fail to visit and thor
oughly explore if he desires TO inform
Hli1lSSll vi tHS WOuuNGS, capacity dn(
great resources OF the United States. ii
California man can find any climate b.
desires-Irom the frigid to the torrid zone
1t Is land OF flowers, the tendereS
plants OF our cline requiring but littl
5 more care than our dogfennel. In fruit
its products are simply astonishing. w
sat beneath one Zig tree the branches o
, which covered a circle sixty-two feet il
!; diameter. With the water of the mount
aims properly taken care of and used
there is nothing that can be produces
from the ground that cannot be produces
in California. In the precious metals, il
minerals Of all kinds and coal, the devel
opment in California has only been com
menced. 1t is a wonderful State, tina
must be seen and extensively visited t
l be thoroughly understood.
