I has been rery rapid, within 10 years,
the Southern Pacific company's business in
the valley having Increased five fold during
that period by steady growth. Yet the
growth has not been according to the opnort
mites of nature, being retarded by several
causes since the early settlement of the state:
First the gold excitement, which almost
completely preoccupied the people until the
first transcontinen al railway line was COM
pleted.
Second. through the old Mexican grants
recognized by the United States government,
and through the railway land grants to the
Central Pacific and Southern Pacific compa-
nies, immense acres passed into single estates,
not only thousands of acres, but in some
cases, hundreds thousands.
The value firrigati~n for making the lands
OF this valley highly fertile, was not generally
recognized until some seven years ago
The policytf the Southern Pacific company
has been to base its freight rates, SO far as
practicable, on the margin OF profit between
the production and the destination market

sorbing much OF his profit as to cut off ef
fectually the natural freedom of trade and COM

tustons imposed be the railway comnany from
time to time without dread OF competition or
interference. The Southern Pacific company
has, no doubt, been unju,tly ass il d. and, like
other railway corporations especially ii alone
in large field has had many unreasonable ac-
cusatious and denunciations hurled g inst it;
but the truth remains that its policy however
fruitful hitherto, has not been either liberal or
sagacious. Railway competition, despite the
Irregularities when it commonly breeds will
place the railway shippers Of Middle California
in far stronger and mere assured position
than they occupy now.
TONNAGE
The total wheat crop OF California will aver
age 25 600 90 bushels OF which 15,Du0,ooO to
20, 100000 bushels is produced in the san
Joaquin Valley. The Southern Pacific com
pany's warehouse capacity in the san joaquin
valley is reported at 327 coo ions.
Orchards and vineyards both directly and
indirectly afford to railway transport ton far
larger revenues than any ordinary farming.
The actual tonnage per acre, whether in fruit
or wine is three OF four fold the resulting
freight is for the most part not sh rt local

higher than lower grade products could bear

The second is the San Fernando pass, as oc-

is deemed i'm practicable.
The third, the zion pass, through which the
Santa Fe line has Been built,
To any one who has studied this Sierra

will be conf rmed that the above mentioned
passes constitute the only outlets from Los An

Then comes the elevated plateau some $500

pass, three ways are open-Piru canon, Castac

Southern Pacific company. (After enormous
loss in trying to maintain line in the bottom
of the valley, they have been forced to take to
the hills, nut in the sense many of us would
like to see them--but you all know tho situa-
tion from personal observation.)
Piru and Castac cahons do not offer an at

Unanimously Indorssd.
When the meeting was called to order
after rscess, Rsv. Haskins presented the
report of the committee on resolutions.
The following resolution, presented
by ex.Mayor Hazard, was unanimously
adopted:
Resolved, By this convention that the con-
gress of the United States be urged to provide
fer the construction OF deep harbor at
San Pedro, as already determined by the sew
eral acts of congress, ana in accordance with
the several recommends ions OF the boards OF
United States army engineers. as shown by
executive documents 80 and al OF the Fifty
second congress, first and second sessions, and
that the further improvement OF the interior
| harbor at San Pedro be earnestly recon-
mended.
Mr.. Haskns thsn read the following
resolution:
Resolved. That it is the sense of this me t.
ing that line of railway be constructed from
Los Angeles into the San joaquin valley, and
for the speedy accomplishment OF this, we
would recommend the means provide by the
Mathew bill, now pending before the legisla
ture of the state of California, and that each
| county interested in h line OF railway be
and is hereby requested TO send strong COM
mittee to Sacramento to ge the passage of
the said Mathews bill.
In case the Matthew'S bill shculd OF
pass, Mr. Hsskina vas in favor Of pass
ing the following resolution
Resolved, That it is the sense of this meeting
that organization shall be effected at once for
the purpose OF forming company and issuing
the necessary stocks and bonds to enable such
4 company to build line of aiwsy with view
| OF connecting the Antelope and San joaquin
valleys with existing lines OF railway east OF
! the mountains surrounding Los Angeles, and
effectng necessary traffic arrangements with
hese lines to enable them to reach the sea-
board and exchange business to and from Los
| Angeles.
Second That we would recomme nd issuing
bonds at the rate not exceeding $aO,0oo p er
mile for such purpose; that one-half of said
| Issue, or $4,000 per mile, should be provided
/ with guarantee which would insure the pay
| ment OF the interest for period OF 10 years
at the rate of per cent per annum so that
/ such securities would have bona fde market
] value, the same as county and city bonds;
J such guaran Zee to be secured BIZ the pledge of
| real estate or other substantial collateral
| which would be readily accepted in financial
! circles as proper security. Guarantee fund
| not to be called for in road earns enough
| TO pay interest.
| Third-That the stock which controls the
| policy and operation OF such line should be
! held in trust in such manner that this road
! would always be maintained as q sep arate and
| independent line and to secure the guarantors
| OF the interest.
