work got under way.
Hogeboom said he understood that the
terms on which the notes were signed
were that If $3.50, 600 were not raised, moth
lug would be done, but Messrs. Luhrs
and LubIn both stated that the amount on
which they were to begin work was
100000.
George B. Katzenstein seconded the
motion OF Mr.. Alsip. He said the movers
OF the enterprise had given much time
ana money and held large number of
meetings In furtherance of it. They had
neglected their own business in order to
| push IL, and the time has now come when
they can do so no longer. Mr.. Howell
comes with proposition to take up the
details OF the work and carry it ahead.
he is promoter of such schemes. 1t is
his business and he is thoroughly con-
Versant with its methods. 1t is a regular
branch of business in the East and towns
are built up into cities by its means. The
association should either say to him $50
ahead" or let the whole matter drop
ACCEPT, OF COURSE.
w. Hood hoped the proposition would
De accepted it was very reasonable one.

to do something for ourselves and not

| Our situation is good, and if we will do

proposition and build up the city.
WILL QUADRUPLE.
| E. K. Alsip believed it was the turning
point OF the city's future prosperity. The
matter has been talked of tor the past ten
years. If united action is taken now it
will increase the population of Sacra-
mento $4,000 to 25,0JU in the next ten
years. fit is not taken, the city will be
set back. BE was willing to give four
times what he signed, and pay it now, to
see the work 60 on.
j. ID. Jost had read in the papers that
| smok eStacks were IDLE and business par
alyZed He had signed a note and would
pay it, bat was afraid the movement
would fail. He began speech on the
finances OF the country, but was called to
/ order.
WOULD DOUBLE UP.
| j. W. Clough said there was no use of
debating general questions; let us stick 10
i this. The matter is in the hands of a
committee composed of the cleanest and
brightest men of the community. Help
them to carry it out. He would double
his former subscription, if necessary.
John Blair was also willing to double,
if needful.
DR.. Dixon and DR.. Mealand both
! favored The mOtIOu.
! Mr.. Lubin said the directors did not
want the motion railroaded through; he
wanted every signer in the room TO ex-
press himself.
PLENTY OF SMALL FACTORIES.
Mr.. Howell stated, in answer to some
remarks made regarding lack of knowl-
| edge OF him or his reputation, that no
man ever did anything that amounted to
much without making enemies. He was
not afraid of his record. The question is
one OF carrying out the work. He be-
lieved Sacramento good place for carry
ing out this plan, and it would be a sue
cess II rightly carried out.
The time has not yet come for immense
factories here. The profitable institutions
here will be the small ones that employ a
fair number of men. Get as many as
possible. Start with one or two good
ones, and the rest will follow. If a big
one should start and fail, it would be
setback to the reputation Of this city.
Buffalo got the small factories and built
itself up amazingly. ii small plants
with tew men each are started, there
will be plenty Of local capital found to
invest in them.
EVERY ONE FAvORs ACTION.
Mr.. Barley said that Howell was lust
the man. The fact that the directors were
unanimous in accepting his proposition is
a good sign. The speaker would do all
he could to help along.
Frank Ruhstaller said he had managed
to push his own business along pretty
well and would help to push others. The
more smoke-stacks in the city, the more
wealth produced.
MAKE IT AT HOME.
Martin Halloran said he had lived here
many years and seen much stuff both
come to this city for sale and pass through
it TO other points. Very little, however,
was manufactured here to be sent away.
He believed it could be done, and advo-
Gated doing it.
CHANGED HIS VIEWS.
II. G. Smith said that when the matter
was first spoken off he was opposed to it.
but after he went to tire Worlds Fair he
changed his mind. He got his ideas
brushed up and the cobwebs out OF his
eyes. He saw what the establishments
Of the Singer Sewing Machine Company
and StudeDaker Bros. had done at South
Bend, and it had converted him. He had
never met Mr.. Howell before tonight,
but he thought he talked right-had got
the right stuff in him.
He is a heavy subscriber already. and
although he might not want to double
his note, was willing to increase it. Now
is the time This movement needs a head
He favored employing Mr. Howell, and
hoped every one else would see it in the
same light.
Scott Ingram said that at first he
thought as Mr.. Smith did, but he. too
had changed his mind. He had seen in
his own business the advantage of having
q personal solicitor to come in contact
with the public. This work takes man
of brains and experience and 500
month Is not large pay for such man.
He thought this enterprise would be a
success.
OH! WHAT A DIFFERENCE.
L. 2. Gilman said there was one great
difference between Sacramento and Los
Angeles In the latter place, when a
man comes in and makes an investment.
everyone pats him on the back and says:
We'll done, my boy, you made good
buy! Now get right in and improve it
and you will make money"
When man comes to Sacramento and
makes an investment a lot of croallers
come and say to him: II am sorry for you,
my friend. You will never get your
money back out of that investment. 1t
will fail, just as other things have failed
| here"
The speaker knew a man who started
an industry here who told him that a
dozen men came to him and condoled
with him on MS certain failure, and if he
had not known he had the necessary push
in him TO succeed he would have become
discouraged and abandoned his venture
But he has succeedei, and is doing well.
Mr.. Alslp's motion was then put and
carried unanimously, amid great ap-
| plauSe.
HOWELL TELLS SOME TRUTHS.
! Mr.. Howell then said that, now that
i they had employed him, he wished to
! tell them some truths-to speak plainly
to them, in order that they might know
