ulation to an even half million by the
| year 1900. Later and upon full consid-
! Grafton of the methods by which this
might be attained we discovered that
this could only be done by building up
tIe entire state. That is, it was worse
than folly to boom San Francisco from
the inside; that it must be doEe from the
| outside. and that our city could only
grow as did the country of which, or
rather for which. it is a receiving and
distributing center.
W. Nj. Bunker, who is som ewhere on
b ard, and who is the proprietor of the
Report, tells a story of a goat that was
| being shipped by express, and the thing
ate up the tag which was attached to its
i body. bearing, of course, the shipping di-
rrections. Well. as Mr.. Bunker tells it,
San Francisco is very like that goat it
has been eating the tag of silurianism.
1t didn't know where it was headed and
no one could help it any. either,
But all Of This old fogyism is relegated
to the rear. The citizens committee
recognizes that good may come to San
| Francisco only AS good may come to the
upon pulling, not for the city upon the
bay. but for the state. Possessing as it
does every needful thing in soil and
| climate. it must go forward; it must pro-
| gress, and as believe, rapidly from now
! ON. The people of the United States are
| California is bound to receive it's full
| quota of reawakening that is now go
! ing on.
| In this general prosperity which even
now is at our doors. not only San Fran
! cisco but Los Angeles and every well sit
lated city will share. These are the
views that are held by us of the Half
Million Club and it is our purpose to
work for the state in it's entirety first,
last and all the time.
Among the arrivals on the special in
| addition to the members of the Half
| Million Club were many representative
! citizens from many towns in the northern
| part of the state. 1t was impossible to
