Claus Spreckels was requested to give his
reasons for identifying himself with the
present railroad movement. He said: 'T
was induced to identify myself with the
present movement for railroad in the San
Joaquin Valley first, because / am con.
WINGED it is splendid business investment
for capital, and, secondly, because its con-
struction will benefit every man, woman
and child in California, besides yielding
good returns on the capital laid out.
"The new railroad will not only be
powerful stimulant to our native indus
tries, but it will be instrumental in enhanc-
ing our business interests in every direction.
California has been for years a third
rate State in the Union, and for no other
reason in my opinion, than because of the
lack of railroad facilities. The San Joaquin
Valley will provide homes for millions of
people, and yet when we try to induce
settlers to come to the finest valley the sun
ever shone upon they decline, because, with
only one railroad traversing it, they are
convinced that their interests would suffer.
We want to build railroad there so that
we may be enabled to assure settlers that
every facility will be afforded them to
market their products speedily and cheaply.
''The Southern Pacific Railroad Company
will not be the sufferer because of a Con-
struction of a competing road through the
San Joaquin Valley, for with the increase
in population in this State its business will
be proportionately greater. We have taken
up this project purely as matter of bust
ness, and as business men we will carry it
through. In benefting the stockholders,
as / believe it will, the new railroad will
benefit the business people of California
more than any. That glorious day cannot
come too soon.
SIT is in this spirit that misunderstanding
will be carried out. We are not starting in
to injure any one, but in helping ourselves
and the people will actually enhance the
prosperity of those who will be generally
regarded as our rivals in business"
The morning call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1878-1895, 1895-01-31

resolution was adopted heartily approving the
proposed new line of railroad.
Should it be our good fortune to have the
new line pass through this city, the citizens
stand ready and willing to donate the ground
for depot, and we have been assured that
some of our substantial citizens will subscribe
for stock as soon as the route is decided upon
FIJI. WANDER,
President Board of Trustees of the city of
Modesto.
The work of systematizing the taking of
subscriptions will begin to-day, when there
will be nine lists in the hands of members
of the committee for the convenience of
citizens. 1t has been the desire of Chair
man Spreckels that as many men as posi-
BILE be seen who had large means and from
whom proportionately large subscriptions
were expected, before the lists were pre-
sented to the general public.
This was not because small subscriptions
are not wanted or that any man who feels
disposed to invest his money in the project
shall be deprived OF an opportunity to do
so, but it was because the committee de-
sired to secure the larger amounts first, so
that when the books were opened to the
public the showing thus made would give
a feeling of confidence.
The interest in the new road is not con-
fined to any class the millionaire, the
merchant and the man of moderate means
being equally confident of success.
81 want to put my name on that list"
said Henry Oppenheimer yesterday after
noon, as he entered the room adjoining
that in which the committee was at work.
"All right, Mr.. Oppenheimer," said Mr..
Weeks, the Office manager, "I'll get you
the list"
ment was forthcoming, Mr.. Oppenheimer
rlaced his name thereon and put the fig
Tres $4,000" opposite, at the same time
saving that he had written a letter to Mr..
Sp,eckels regarding the matter. The letter
was as follows:

| through their county. He believes tina
many men of capital there will subscribe
literally to the stock of the company when
given an opportunity to do so.
Som ethlng has already been said of the
great interest which is being taken in the
road by the wholesale merchants. Their
gatherings in the past have to large ex-
tent been indignation meetings on account
of hampering conditions hitherto existing.
Their formal and informal assemblies are
now as joyful as those in the past were
gloomy. One of their number, Frederick
Tillmann Jr., President of the Tillmann &
Bendel Company, makes no secret of his
delight.
"Prior to the formation of the Traffic AS
ISOLATION, of which l am member" he
said yesterday, ga very high rate of freight
on all classes of merchandise from the
East, both by sea and rail, to this city, was
exacted by the various corporations con-
trolling the traffic. These high and arbi-
trary rates prevented our merchants from
securing business in their own territory
in fact valuable trade that was once en-
joyed by them was entirely cut off, This
state of affairs necessitated the organiza-
ton of the Traffic Association, which af-
forded relief at once. 1t caused the trans
continental lines to reduce their tariff on all
classes of freight to this city from the East,
which then enabled the merchants, to some
extent, to retain the trade they had lost.
"They are still handicapped and unable
to extend trade on account of the local
freights to interior points being too high.
This trade can be secured by building the
San Francisco and San Joaquin Railroad
and branch lines to other points, because
lower rates will be made than now OBJ
tanned. 1t will enable the farmer to mar
ket his product at much cheaper rates. It
will enable him Il buy all his goods and
lay them down for half the rate he has now
to pay.

Another document of like Importance
was received from the office of S. Solomon,
the meat-dealer, who believes that San
Francisco future destiny is in the hands
of its citizens.
When Mr.. Solomon reached his place of
business yesterday morning his mind was
already full of the developments of the
day before. He had read the morning
papers and was enthusiastic in the prospect
of a competing line to the San Joaquin
Valley-a project which he realizes is fully
as important to the meat-dealers of the city
as to almost any other class.
Mr. Solomon called in his secretary and
in few minutes the following missive was
on its way to the Office of Mr.. Spreckels:
Mr. Claus Spreckels-DEAR SIR: s. Solomon,
the meat-dealer in the Grand Central market,
desires to subscribe $4,000 to the new railroad.
Yours, W. FORD THOMAS.
There is one fact which the committee
now desires to impress upon the minds of
the people throughout the State, and that
is that every man who desires to subscribe
for stock to the road will be made welcome
at the meetings held in future. These
preliminary sessions of the committee
have necessarily been of an executive
nature, as the plan of operations had to be
decided upon. Now that all the details
have been completed and the work of rails
ing the necessary amount of money is fully
under way a cordial invitation is extended
to all men to subscribe such amounts as
they may feel inclined to invest. The man
who has but 500 which he thinks he can
enarn from his huSineSc oan raSt accurad
that he will receive a welcome. This is the
peoples road.
Those who desire to subscribe will find
list at the office of Chairman Spreckels or
in the hands of any member of the COM
mittee.

the contents of one in his possession Which
gives an mixing as to the feeling IN the
interior.
1t was from Carey Cox, who resides in
the San Joaquin Valley and who writes
that he is heart and soul with the enter
prise. He calls attention to the great dis
advantage that section of the State has
labored under with regard to transporta-
ton facilities, and says that for all practical
purposes, so far as the matter of freights
are concerned, they are just as far removed
from the metropolis as Sydney in New
South Wales. He cites an instance of pay
ing $25 freight on piano, which weighs
less than 1000 pounds, for its transporta-
ton from this city to the valley, and sends
words of greeting and good cheer to the
men who will afford a means for escaping
these evils.
The people all through the valley are
alive to the Importance of the new road,
and they not only approve of the move
ment but stand willing to give it their
substantial assistance.
The latter part of last week member of
the Board of Trustees of Modesto was in
this city and called upon member of the
committee, expressing a desire to obtain,
if possible, some information as to the
probable route the road would follow. He
said that the residents of Modesto and all
the surrounding country were very much
interested in the proposition, and that they
were naturally quite anxious to know if
their town would be on the line of the road.
Notwithstanding the fact that no assur-
ances would be given him as to what route
the road would follow, the following COM
munication received yesterday indicates
the fact that the people of Modesto will be
hearty workers in the cause of the new
road:

"The benefit resulting from the building
of this road to San Francisco and the State
will be incalculable. 1t will do more to
develop commerce and stimulate indus
tries of every character in my Judgment
than any other known enterprise that
could be attempted at this time. 1t means
prosperity to the State and the employ
ment of large number of men, of which
there are so many out of work, and dis
tribution to them of several million dol
lars.
"For these reasons all who can ought to
subscribe to this movement with which I
am in full accord and I shall do my part.
J. A. Drinkhouse of the firm of J. A..

selfish in our desire, for we cannot prosper
as we would unless the country at large is
prosperous"

perience the significance of the command,

clared, because it will give us lower

penses OF our travelling statesmen will not

County, is one man who has practical
proof, he thinks, of the great benefit which
is to follow the construction of the road.
Mr.. Scott was in the city yesterday, and
while here sold piece of property, and
this transaction was what opened his eyes.
~ had little piece of land down there"
said he, (which l have been trying to sell
for some weeks. Ten days ago I would
have disposed of it for $500, but to-day
sold it for 500 above that amount, and it
was not my proposition, either. The offer
came from the person who bought it, and I
attribute its increase in value entirely to
the influence of the new road project"
E. f. Preston, secretary of the COM
mittee, had few words to say regarding
the possibility of the road being
built beyond Bakersfield to a connec-
ton with the Atlantic and Pacific, SO as to
form practically, another transcontinen-
tai line.
''There has been no discussion on that
line as yet, said he. Personally, think
that the immediate necessities of the State
will be best subserved by local transporta-
ton facilities, so that the farmer can get
his products to tidewater, and the mer-
chant his goods to the interior at cheap
rates. This, 1 think, is far better plan
than to involve the question of overload
transportation. What the future necessi-
ties of California may be will not be con-
sidered at present, and the general impress
sion is that local line into the heart of
the greatest valley in the State will meet
all immediate requirements"
S. N. Grifiths, the gentleman from
Fresno who made a plea for the new road
at the Chamber of Commerce meeting and
who was present during the interview with
Mr.. Preston, mentioned the obstacles which

read with great pleasure in all the daily papers
of the grand step and the noble manner in
which you have taken hold to rehabilitate the
business prospects of our city and State, and
feel satisfied that when such men enter upon
an enterprise such as this its success is assured
I desire in my small way, as far as my resources
will permit, to show my faith in substantial
way, and therefore beg herewith to tender my
subscription OF $1,000, which is at your dis
posal at any time you may chance to call for it.
Yours respectfully, HENRY 0PPENHEIMER.

that can support many times the number
of people it has now.
E"There is room enough in that valley for
half dozen roads. The new road will
help not only the valley but every county
in the State. There has been no railroad
building lately, and up in Mendocino
