hospitality, and of congratulating them
upon their many advantages of location.
SOIL ana climate. He had visited many
lands, but never one so wonderful in fer
unity and resource as California is. and
sacramento was one of its most favored
spots.
Most, or best of all, the State is Young
and fresh and of the present, facing what
Is surely great future. He likened Cali
lorna TO being at the present bound like
Samson, but she needed only to shake
| herself to be free.
California has been largely noted for
Individual effort, but he thought the peo-
PIE need TO learn to work together in har-
lnonlous and united effort. 1t went with
out saying that California needs factories.
FOR one Thing, good leather was produced
mere, and quantities of it, but 80 per cent.
OF her shoes were imported. This was en-
tlrely wrong. a State remains poor with
out factories. Woolen goods should be
| made here, and there was no good reason
! why that should not be one of the great
industries of the State Although a
stranger, he was glad to be here and see
the spirit of enterprise and energy
awakenlng-glad to see Samson shaking
| himself
| FELIX TRACY,
Being called by the Chair, said he had
known the Chairman for years to be a
success as presiding officer, but he had

| TO know that Sacramento was shaking
! herself, and said she was to be congratu-
lated IN the work she had done upon
levees when danger threatened until now
she was high and dry, while Hoods have
created havoc elsewhere.
he spoke of the results to Rochester,
n. y, in having manufacturers of boots
and shoes there, and saw no reason why
Sacramento should not take advantage of
her resources. He was much encouraged
by the enterprising spirit lately shown
mere, and IN that manifested at these
meetings. He believed our citizens were
on the right road to success, and were
| aroused to the necessity of being pro-
gressive.
\. G. BINGHAM
Said he had signed the note without hesi-

number of instances which had come
under his observation in towns having
proceeded upon the plan proposed here.
II. w. PARKER
Also Endorsed the work in brief speech,
stating that he was ready to stand up for

and advantages.

that by getting the enterprises and manu-
facturers storted here it would bring the

and proposed to be in the swim. He had
thought the subject over before signing

cities which got factories had to buv

the committee already had applications
from enough enterprises to take up all the
amount that would be payable in four the
years. Many would have to be rejected.
and it was matter of selecting the best
from among the applications coming con-
stantly.
