SUCCESS OR FAILURE !?
Tine Industrial Movement Reaching
Its Turning Point.
A Public Meeting to Be Held on
Thursday to Consider the
Present situation.

a IHSeLlHB Oh SlSu0rS 10 In0 1nuuStrlal
improvement Associations notes will be
held at the Clunie Opera-house on Thurs
day evening, and the directors are desir-
Gus that every one interested shall be
present. Even women and children will
be welcome, as it is intended to make the
affair thoroughly popular one.
The idea of the meeting is to give every
person who has signed a note all the in
formation possible concerning the aims
and purposes Of the association, and it is
desired that every one who may have any
questions to ask will not hesitate to cate
chise the directors, who will respond to
all questions propounded.
1t is expected that the meeting will be
a very interesting one, and those who
have not as yet signed notes for their
share OF the factory fund Will be just as
welcome as others, as they Will b. apt TO
learn great deal more about the indus
trial movement than they have yet
dreamed Of
one of the features will be a tableau-
but not of the inanimate kind-that is
now being gotten up by j. IL. Todd,
manager Of the Clunie Opera-house, w.
f. jackson, the artist, George Boyne, the
decorator, w. b. Oldfield and other MEM
bers Of the Railroad Shops Committee,
who Will personally participate therein.
The use of the Opera-house has been
generously rendered by Manager TODD
free of charge. j. NJ. Morrison, Chair
man OF the Open-air Concert Committee,
has secured the services OF one of the
local bands without expense 10 the In
dustrlal Association, and Mayor Stein
man has provided for the free lighting Of
the Opera-house. Ushers will be pro-
vided by Manager Todd.
The movement that is to make or mar
the city's prosperity has now reached
point that calls tor the wisest Judgment
on the part of the industrial Association,
the directors of which have charge of the
matter, and they naturally desire the
personal cooperation OF every person
who desires to see it carried To success.
The sum already subscribed has passed
the halfway point, and signers are COM
ing slowly. 1t will never do TO allow the
movement to fail after so much has been
accomplished, for failure now would put
the city back many years.
BY carrying the industrial movement
forward to that degree Of accomplishment
aimed at in the beginning, however, will
insure the future prosperity OF the city
and give her such standing that even
her worst enemies will not dare assail
her.
Sacramento has thrown down the
| gauntlet, as it were, and must now de-
fend herself. There is but one effective
way OF doing this, and that is by forever
silencing the mud-batleries that have
| been trained upon her, IL now remains
to be seen whether she has enemies at
! home who will give aid ana succor to
| those without.
On Saturday the Gallatin- Livermore
| Company, which is to succeed the pres
ent ownership of the Central Electric
Railway Company, signed one of the
lid Il =,
notes. Just now there is some very ef-
fective missionary work in progress
among resident property owners who
have been holding back.
Joseph Gray of 40 n street, we'll
known capitalist OF this city and a large
property owner, Saturday informed a
RECORD-U MON representative that for
his full share of the Industrial Improve
ment fund he would, by proper means
other than note, place the sum at the
disposal of the association as a trust to be
used according to its laws and purposes,
| along with the other subsidy money be-
ing raised.
