even in the interior OF California, and
Stockton herself is not insensibe to this
fact The prosperity of the whole State is
bound up together in bonds that cannot
be severed, SO that what is said of Stockton
must rebound not alone to the glory OF
Stockton, but to the State as whole.
However, the present theme is Stockton
her present thrift and greatness. Where
shall the beginning be made2
The water front is as good a place as
any. Two lines of river steamers land you
from San Francisco-land you in the very
heart of the city, one block from the
Courthouse and City Hall. Passing up the
channel 10 the stone and concrete quav.
you see first and most conspicuous of all
the great houring-mills-the Union, the
Crown and the Sperry. These have at
present an aggregate capacity for 5000
barrels day, which will soon be increased
by the installment of 700-horsepower
engine in the Crown mill, to 5000 barrels.
The change increases the capacity of the
one mill from 1900 to 100 barrels. In all
there is over 81 100000 invested in milling
at Stockton.
Walking one block to the south from

that Mr.. Buell. is president of the Stockton
Commercial Association, an organization
whose prime object is to make Stockton
still greater financially, commercially, as
a railroad and as manufacturing center.
Orin S. Henderson is its secretary, and
the entire State is pretty well familiar
with the long line OF prominent business
men that make up its membership. The
list is too long to quote here, for there is
yet much to be said of Stockton and time
and space are short and fleeting.
In the matter of hotels Stockton is by
no means lacking. There are the Yo-
semitic, the Commercial and the Grand
Central-these are the biggest in the city,
we'll appointed and run on modern sys-
tenn. And another hotel is being built by
D. and Fred w. Rothenbush, proprietors
of Steckton's brewery. 1t IS going to be a
fine affair and modern throughout. Two
stories in brick are up now, and two more
stories are being piled atop of them.
There is also a new church in the course
of construction, and business block and
some residences are being contracted for.
Stockton S not standing still.

macadamized, and laid out at right angles.
1t Is modern city-you see that at a
glance. You see that there are many,
very many, handsome and imposing busi-
ness blocks, so many in fact that it would
be folly to undertake to mention even a
few of them.
The streets are crowded. people jostle
each other; men and women hurry here
and there; bicycles are numerous several
systems of electric streetcars run here and
there and seemingly everywhere, and wide
though the streets be there is no more
room than is needed for the countless
vehicles through which the pedestrian
must pick his way carefully in crossing.
Here is focused not alone the retail
trade for rapidly growing city of 10000
inhabitants, but here are gathered men
from all parts of the county of San
Joaquin, besides many visitors and strang-

ness properties and residences. The real
estate market is strong and steady. 1t
never did boom and Jump to extravagant
values, but 1t has steadily grown and
grown, and keeps growing month by
month. When you buy lot or house
or store or acre property from Stockton
real estate man today you may be sure
you are paying just about what the prop
erty is worth-no more and no less. And
this time next year it will be worth still
more.
What will make it valuable? The
steady, the rapid growth of Stockton.
What will make the rapid growth? MANY
things. The energy and enterprise of her
business men and the local pride and
patriotism of her citizens, for one thing.
The growth OF her present manufactures
for another. Take the wooden mills for
ple-those that turn out the best
blankets in the world. They make other
things as well-"Scotch tweed" suitings,
Tor instance, or at least what good many
fancy priced tailors sell for that famous
line of goods. These make enormous
profits on it, and the dandy thinks he is
wearing an imported suit or trousers He
Is wearing one just as good, only he is
paying more money than he need. Every
year this plant is being added to and the
number of employees increased.
There's the Pacific tannery for another
thlng-employing sixty men and capital
stock of $500, ,000-turning out some of the
best harness leather in the world and ship
ping largely to Boston. New York, st.
Louis. Chicago, Japan and elsewhere.
California bark has no equal for tanning.
There's the big shipyard, where barges,
schooners and steamers are built and re-
paired. Its scope is constantly increasing.
There's Shaw's plow works, manufactur-
Ing patent ploW of its own that has big
sale and employing large capital and many
The San Francisco call., 1896-02-28

men. There's the Holt Manufacturin g
Company, selling between 100000 and
$1,000 worth of combined harvesters
each year, and making them all at their
big works in Stockton. This is one of the
largest concerns in the State, but not the
only manufacturers of agricultural imple-
ments in this city. The Haines-Houser
harvester is manufactured here and in
large quantities. The firm is putting a
patent side-hill machine on the market
now, and the orders are coming in. The
Holt company, by the way, is also famous
for the quantity of wagon and carriage
wheels it turns out in year. The Matte
son & Williamson house manufactures
plow castings and other hardware. These
are few OF the manufacturing enterprises
OF Stockton-iust few by way of sample.
All of them could not be told about in
single newspaper article, and the few

partment stores of the metropolis, and
there are other stores of the same kind,
though OF lesser extent, of which the same
is true.
For few blocks on Main street, on
either side OF the Courthouse, and indeed ali
the thoroughfares immediately surround
ing the big public square, one might
easily imagine himself to be in the midst
of city of 100000 or more population
And this is very largely due to the ad-
mlrable business methods OF the retail
merchants of Stockton. They take care
not to hide the light of their wares under
bushel, and you have only to keep both
eyes open to appreciate the exten OF their
activities, the desirability, the cheapness,
the quality, the profusion and the di-
yerslty of their commodities.

funds OF Stockton merchants, SO to say

circumstance that ought not to be left
unstated here Is that vacant houses are
scarce articles in the CITY of Stockton, and
desirable vacant houses are almost an un-
known quantity. This fact in itself
speaks volumes for the real estate market,
and Mr.. Wilhoit who is one of the best
known of a score or more of enterprising
and yet conservative real estate brokers in
Stockton, adds the further information
that there is very good inquiry for busi-

almost completed to the coal mines. The
people OF this region take good deal of
honest pride in both these big enterprises.
The Corral Hollow road promises to bring
good coal for the manufacturers at the
rate OF So ton, delivered in Stockton.
That's big thing for the manufacturers :
bigger still for Stockton.

broad open square, across. which there
faces you the Courthouse, handsome
pile surmounted with a tall dome and
tower, built with blending of classic and
modern architecture that is very pleasing
to the eye. The great open space in front
of and on all four sides of the imposing
structure give it dignity and beauty that
is shared by no other public building in
