Do you know the hop fields of Wheat
land? The great pottery works of Lin
coin? The possibilities Tor fruit and sugar
beets at Colusa? Do you know what a
wide prospect opens before Willows when
her great plains come under the magic
touch OF the irrigation canal? Do you
know what Corning has done IN the way
! Of orchard planting and land subdivision?
DO you know Winters and wonderful
Nacavilie? Have yon inspected the garden
spot OF the Sacramento Valley, Chico,
we'll named the City OF Roses? Chico
where lie the richest lands, the clearest
streams, the most bountiful soil? The
| iron hand of land monopoly has long held
| her in check, but If this league does it's
| duty the despotic power and might of that
| gigantic curse shall be broken not only
there, but throughout the whole of this
great valley.
Lave you ever visited Oroville, the
Gem OF the Foothills? A gem only in
the rough, but one that Will some day
sparkle and shine and glisten and CLEAN
with the glow of its golden oranges, its
luscious figs, its glossy olives, its ruddy
grapes, until all the world shall know
such a spot is in existence. We hope
some day TO welcome you to our golden
mines in our golden groves, to show you
our mountain and foothills, our river and
valley, and send you home glad that you
came among us.
Do you realize that we have great pos
session here which it is oar duty to help
develop? A valley the like of which is
not found elsewhere beneath the sun.
Take every product of sunny Spain, pile
high her fruits, heap up her treasures,
exhibit her olives, raisins and wine, yet
in this single valley can we surpass them
ALL Mark that wonderful variety of
Italy's products. SugaTcane and cotton,
mulberries and silk. oranges and lemons,
figs and chestnuts. Search every dell and
dale and valley, hunt DER mountain and
along the seacoast of that rich and prolific
country, yet we can match the boundless
wealth of cereal and fruit and vegetable
products OF all Italy within the province
OF our league.
To accomplish our objects we must
mbine our efforts, for as application
and perseverance are the secrets of sue
cess among individuals, so combination
and thorough organization will enable
the most discordant forces to win victory
over ali opposition.
1t was organization that won indie
pendence for the American colonies. 1t
was organization that made Richelieu
master of France. It was organization
that enabled Loyola to give such ire
mendous power to the efforts of the
Jesuits.
1t was organization between the allies
that crushed Napoleon. 1t was orgaDi2a-
ton by William LII. and Marlborough
that beat the Spanish and freed the
Netherlands. 1t was his superior powers
of organization that enabled General
Grant To wrest victory where other Gem
erals had failed. It Is will power, force
OF purpose. and conception of energy
that carries the day among individuals,
aud with us 1t must be combination of
our forces. the welding together of our
efforts for single purpose until we WIN
success.
In life the man who wins concentrates
his efforts upon single purpose. The
man who fails soatters his efforts over
wide field.
TO secure our end we must select some
abuse, aim at some mark and bring our
whole forces to bear upon the weak spot
until we batter down all opposition. Is
it land monopoly, is it the abandonment
OF wheat growing, the establishment of
manufactures or the navigation of our
rivers. Let us select some definite line
of action and then if we follow that out
we will succeed IN the objects that caused
the formation of the Sacramento Valley
League.
