Rio Vista Ne7rS: Some of the leading
San Francisco dailies have recently dis
covered that there are several navigable
rivers in California. But we fail to see
where the rivers are in any way bene-
fitted by this discovery The san + ram
cisco dailies are by far too exclusively
for san Francisco and competing rail-

realize it?''
Arbuckle Autocr1t. "The effort to
move the State Capital to San Jose has
been good thing Tor Sacramento. 1t has
aroused the tagging energies Of her peo-
pie and they are now Offering extra III
ducements to manufacturers to locate
factories there. This is a sensible move
on their part. y manufacturing estab-
llSnnent employing 4 hundred hands the
year round would be of far more benefit
TO the city than the State Capital. Be
side, the manifestation of Il little enter
prise will go great way toward keeping
the Capital where it now is"
Colusa Sun: Talk of moving the State
Capital has spurred sacramento City into
doing something, and men are signing
Obligations to pay one-half of one per
cent on their assessable property towards
the establishment of manufactures.
Manufactures brings wage earners, and
wage earners build up q town or Il city.
What can Colusa do? We can hardly
compete III the line of manufactures, but
we can bring in wage earners. A
thousand acres of orchard puts
many people to work. Can't we
raise enough money on the Sacramento
plan to have 1000 acres of orchard planted
in this vicinity next year. Can't we
bring in fifty families ?"
Oakland Times: ''If the spirit of en-
terprise now animating the people of
Sacramento persists, that city is destined
to stand pre-eminent among the cities of
the Pacific Coast If other cities of
greater population and more Advantage

and are raising money for their. encour-
agement. Notes are being signed bv
property-owners at a rate of half a cent
on the dollar OF taxable property per year
for four years. It is expected that some
where toward $1,000 will thus be raised
and used as bonuses. With the right
kind of management Sacramento will he
made a manufacturing city of import
ance.''
san Diego Union: "As a means of
momentary relaxation from business
cares this agitation of the Capital removal
question is serving proper purpose, but
when it comes TO submitting the matter
TO popular decision, the voters of Callfor-
mia will have too good sense to shoulder
the expense of changing the location of
the State Capital San Jose will have the
amusement of two years canvass and
before the time has expired Sacramento
will have been thoroughly aroused froul
its slumber. 1t is 3 dispensation of
Providence on account OF which both
should be glad.'
Woodland Democrat: "As rule. where
capital and industry grow rapidly there
is constant cooperation. Sacramento
business men are awakening to the neces-
sity for concert of action among her bank
ers. merchants, capitalists and laborers.
1t needed little prodding to stir them
up. and If the results accomplished meet
the sanguine expectations OF the leaders
of the reawakeuiug, the lesson of the at
tempt to remove the State Capital will not
have been in vain.''
