Mr.. McLachIan's Speech

declarations of appreciation rhat they
heaped upon us and the enterprises of our

oar history in which we have all join, q
hands to assist in attain ng that high pv-
sition in the sisterhood of states TO which
The herald., 1895-05-16

be prohibited. In your plans for the fu-
ture let me suggest that you keep this
question in mind
Another thing which it seems to me
that the state needs is more systematic
and organized effort to widen and divers
lfy your eastern market. We find this
peculiar condition existing, that in some
localities in the esat the supply of your
citrus products exceeds the consumption
while in other localities these products
from your state are not on sale at all.
The remedy for this. it seem to me, is
readily found in more systematic meth
od OF introducing your various fruits in
the east by agents from your own state
, instead OF leaving it in the hands of east
ern commission men and obbers
1t also seems to me that more of the
arid lands may be brought under cultiva-
tion by improvements in the methods of
irrigation. In many cases the same water
could be first used to delevop power
which could be transmitted by wire to
ard parts of your territory, and there
used to pump water for the purposes of
irrigation. l am aware that this is done
somewhat, but 1t seems to me that the
application OF electricity to irrigation is
yet IN it's infancy.
The next thing that impresses one is
the question, What will he the future of
California? To what extent will she grow,
in comm ercial and industrial activities?
When we look over her history in the ps st
we draw encouragement therefrom. In
1857 in all this imperial domain of Cali
fornia there were less than 100. 600 people.
In 1880 there we're more than !. 200 900, so
that in the growth of population there is
certainly nothing to discourage YOU. In
1880 the assessed value of taxable proper
ty was $685. 600, ,000 in 1899 this had in
creased to 81. 2I5, 000, 900. or an increase O
more than $50, 600, 900 annually. Certainly.
then. there is 10 discouraging outlook as
to material development. The state of
California in extent of territory Is greater
than the eight eastern states of Maine,
New Hampshire, Vermont. Connecticut
Massachusetts, Rhode Island. New York
and Pennsylvania. and yet these states
easily today support a population of near
ly l6.OOO,Oo0 people, while California,
greater IN extent. has only 1.200, 600. so
that the question of over population is
| not present question. California has
more resources in every way than the
| kingdom Of Japan, and yet the latter,
with 1000 square miles less of TERRITORY.
| supports population of $1,000, 600 peo.
! pie. But we can form no adequate conceI
| ton OF the future grandeur and magnii-
cence OF this empire state of the west. Its
resources are so varied its possibilities
so great. that its future transcends the
possibility OF our human conception"

1t will not be until the completion of

will begin to fully realize the possibilities
of her future greatness.
