San Francisco has at last begun to realize
that to prosper herself the balance of the State
must prosper. In order for her to reach the
half-million mark in population other localities
must increase also. The recent visit of her
Half-million Club to Los Angeles and other
southern cities has had a good effect, and
we hope to see it extended. To increase our
population and extend our prosperity the
whole State must work Observation-Disclosures (Cal.)

1t is important that the people own all the
stock of the San Francisco and San Joaquin
Valley Railroad. If the stock has to be placed
outside of the State then the earnings of the
road will also go from us. With the stock held
In California the earnings will be left here to

No single thing within the hope of accom-
plishment will be fraught with such far-reach-
ing and.generally good effects as the capture OF
one or both of the great conventions for San
Francisco Every part of the West will partici-
pate in the resultant benefits, and every part
should contribute the weight of its influence
to the movement to bring the conventions to
the Pacific shores. With unity of action and
earnestness of purpose we can win the prize

1t would be impossible to arouse the San Joa-
quin Valley to new vigor without also awaken
ing and benefting the entire State. The bond
between US all is close, and an absolutely selfish
interest would be an impoSsibility. Give this
central valley adequate and just transportation
facilities and the impulse to new life would be
felt from Siskiyou to San Diego. New, united
and progressive California is fact; it remains
with her citizens to see to it that the spirit of
enterprise is not ephemeraL-Fresno Repub-

In this vicinity our people take q greater
pride in owning . big wheatfield, off which
they can make fair living, than they do in
owning q beautiful home and small tract of
land on which they might make just as much
money. We must encourage the small farmer
and fruit-grower, for he is the man we must
look to to make the changes in the community
which are desired. Unity of purpose and con-
cert of action have wrought wonderful changes
in Southern California, and they will do like

An effort is being made to secure the next
Republican National Convention at San Fran
cisco. 1t is time the Pacific Coast was recog-
nized with the location OF great political con-
vention, and the citizens of Oregon should use
every effort to assist in the consummation of
the plan. While, of course, San Francisco and
California would reap the great advertising
results from the location of great National
convention, Oregon is sure to catch some of
the crumbs that fall. Whatever benefits San
Francisco and California also inures to the
benefit of OREGON. For their interests are in a
great measure identical. The press and politi-
cal leaders of Oregon should use every pressure
to secure the convention next year for this
