subscriptions to the capital stock of $3.50, 900,
which was subsequently reduced to 100000,
Claus Spreckels in open meeting declaring that
that amount would be sufficient.
This proposition of the directors varied
but in few particulars from that made
by Mr.. Buell.. When the directors pre-
sented it to the merchants assembled it
was carried through with a hurrah, and
SO Stockton became the initial point for
the new road
William Inglis made the motion for the
association to accept the terms of the
valley road directors, which was adopted
without dissenting voice.
1t was perhaps because he realized that
the terms would be accepted that Director
Thomas Magee, when in the dome of the
courthouse this afternoon, asked to have
| the directions of Modesto and Oakdale,
! the thriving towns of the San Joaquin
! plains, pointed out.
When the association had voted to grant
| the requests of the directorate, and after
the cheering for the San Joaquin road and
| for Stockton had subsided, the speech
making began.
Claus Spreckels in short but neatly
turned speech, which was frequently bro
that he knew nothing yet as to what would
be done in other places and with other
lines, but that the San Joaquin road would
begin to build from Stockton. He had pre-
viously declared that 100000 would be all
the directors would ask Stockton to SUBJ
scribe.
The question as to whether Stockton
would ultimately be on the main line to
San Francisco was not considered. Stock
ton gets trunk line through the San
Joaquin Valley and that is all the city is
asking, since there is water communication
with San Francisco.
The speeches continued until a late hour
P. a. Buell. spoke for the Commercial AS
sociation and for Stockton. Other Stock
tonians who spoke were John j. Corcoran,
Mayor Mccall, r. Reibenstein, president
of the Council; H. C. Keyes, one of the
Councilmen; William Inglis and Orrin S.
Henderson, a member of the Board of SUI
peryisors, who promised that the Super
visors in behalf of the county would do all
the law would permit them todo to aid the
railroad. ff
Governor Budd had been wired an invi-
tation by Mr.. Buell. to be present He
sent in reply the following message:
Regret it is impossible to attend the recep-
ton to directors of the valley road. Must re-
main here to complete, the work delayed
through time occupied in the consideration of
bills during the last ten days.
Speeches were made by all the directors,
Robert Watt and Thomas Magee speaking
| at some length. The usual fluctuations
were exchanged.
The Yosemite Theater was lighted up
for the inspection of the visitors, and an
adjournment followed.
Stockton's contribution to the valley
road is a big one. 1t is equivalent to
100000 in cash, besides the most invalu-
