raise any local question. These local
differences are due to the newneSS OF the
country, and l believe will disappear
with its development. Somewhere on
your borders there is to be a harbor. And
in answer TO Mr.. Roses question | would
say the intentions OF the Southern Pa
cihc Company seem apparent. There is
a necessity for deep-water harbor at
Santa Monica, and it will be built. Mr..
Huntington, the President of the COM
pany, owns the largest shipyard in the
world. and has put out of that yard three
OF the largest freight vessels ever con-
structed. At present there is a vast tom

the cars are many of them hauled back

and 1t is no breach of confidence to say
that the commerce of the southwest coast
OF America, and even the coffee from
Central America, may be brought to
Santa Monica harbor, and there reshipped
to the interior. Applause. When the
commercial lines have asserted them
selves upon the commercial geography of
this country, what necessity will there be

and it will naturally get this trade by rea-
son of being the western seat terminus of
the shortest line between the two oceans.
Now, as to the fruit industry, think
the time will come when each section
will raise the class of produce Tor which
it is best adapted, and that the valuable
space for citrus fruit in Southern Caliior-
MIA will not be devoted to growing decid-
uous fruits that can be more advantage
ously raised in the northern part of the
State.
There is considerable talk about over
production, and yet there arrived in
America in the year 1892 57S,S0 able
bodied immigrants from the old world.
England is offering 81 or So to ship cap
talns for every emigrant carried from
that country. And with this vast increase
in population, in addition to the natural
increase, the United States Will probably
have 100000 Inhabitants before the
orange orchards now being planted reach
full bearing. And when you consider
that of this number of Immigrants $780,
600 go to what is spoken of as the frozen
North, where there are already 10000, 600
OF people, and only $4,000 tC the southern
part of the Union, where the crops might
be similar to ours, the prospect of over
production is not alarming.
OTHER ToAsTs AND RESPONSES.
Other toasts were responded to by Cen
eral a. McD. McCook, Hon. Joseph Me-
dill of the Chicago Tribune, a. ID. Chill
dress, Hon. Marion Cannon and Hon. L.
j. Rose. The latter, in responding to the
toast, California at the Worlds Fair"
said:
Mr.. President and Gentlemen: The
Worlds Fair brings up pleasing thoughts.
California stands out with an appropria-
ton of 100000. This amount is exceeded
by only one State, Illinois, and only
equaled by two others, New York and
Pennsylvania. This fact teaches that
with only a small fraction of the popula-
ton and wealth of these States, yet, in
enterprise, in public spirit, i'll liberality,
in push and goahead, with this small
population and wealth, California is the
equal of these great commemorative, and
far in advance of all other States.
We have at times been charged with
Boosting, when relating the advantages
and the charms of California.
When We tell about the conditions of
Calitornia's climate and soil, that family
here on ten acres can make a better liv-
ing, have more comforts and enjoyments,
more prosperous and independent life,
Lndn like family can on a hundred acres
in any of the Atlantic States, then such
statements are put down to California
enthusiasm. When we speak about our
pleasant and healthful climate; that now.
diiNl al through lll6 WlIlGT almost every
day is like summers day: that our hills
and valleys for that time arc covered
with various-colored wild flowers in a bed
OF green; that the rose, in its perpetual
bloom, expands its Shell-lile petals to the
sun, while it eXhales its sweet perfume
upon the air; that the bee drones in the
open easement, the birds fit from tree to
tree in their love-making, while the mock
ing bird pOurs out his song in his varied
mimicry, these facts are put down to the
embellishments of a California imagina-
ton. Yet these we know to be true con-
ditions. We know that every day brings
with it its new charm for life, every day
brings its renewed health and vigor.
Here by reason of perfect health man
occupies higher plane with more energy
and larger ambition, which enables him
to accomplish greater results. He con-
ceives and carries out larger enterprises
to add to the general fund of pleasure and
prosperity.
The Worlds Fair is our golden oppor-
tunity, for it enables us TO show to the
world that our California enthusiasm.
too, bears fruit and other wonderful pro-
ducts OF the soil and climate. 1t makes
object lessons which speak for them
selves, for no one can look upon our
golden fruit and fail to know that it was
sunshine that made it, and no one can
see our varied and abundant succession
OF cherries, apricots, peaches, figs, pears.
apples, ETC., and not feel assured that
there must be favored conditions of eli
mate and soil to produce such varied per-
fiction.
California will advertise herself not by
descriptions or painting, but by re-
2lltles, by production, and which can be
seen, lelt and tasted. That an era of pros
perity will follow may be believed with
certainty. California will do her part by
! hill Aaf Of 4 / !
and Southern California will not have to
blush for any lack of doing her share.
As proof of this, Mr.. SamueIs, in his
letter of regret in not being able to be
here, says that four OF our southern
counties have made more application for
space in the departmental buildings than
the balance of the State. Such a fact
makes it excusable for man to feel a
pride of locality; he may feel that his
lines have been cast in pleasant places.
and, although with admiration Tor every
part of California, with a godspeed for
every locality, with no envious or Jealous
feeling about any portion, yet he NAV
love his own sunny locality the better.
and say with the poet:
BREATH there a man with soul so dead
Who never 10 himself hath said
This is my own, my native land?
