PRODUCTION OF new blood and enterprise,
and many nrms have been compelled
to erect new structures and additions in
order to accommodate their growing in
terests. Notably is this the fact IN the case
of Welnstock d Lubin, one of the largest
and most enterprising firms on the coast
But few short years since they erected a
magnificent three-story building and now
find themselves so crowded that they have
been compelled to build as an addition a
four-story building to accommodate their
monthly increasing trade. In fact, iii all
the main business portion of the CITY
there have been erected either some
magnificent new structure or some SUBJ
stantial addition which will long prove
monuments to the enterprise and push of
Sacramento's solid business men.
The business fraternity of Sacramento
to-day are men OF brains and intellect;
men who fully appreciate the unparalleled
advantages possessed by this city; men
ready to seize every advantage which may
arise that will prove advantageous to this
locality and who are always willing to
contribute substantially in financial wav
to everything beneficial to the community
at large.
During The past year a Chamber of Com
merce has been organized, the object of
which is to foster trade, commerce and the
economic interest of the city and county
of Sacramento; to assist and encourage
home industries and manufactures; to in
duce immigration and the subdivision and
settlement of lands, and generally to pro-

SACRAMENTO, CAL, Feb. 13. In
early days Sacramento, being the CEN
trail point of departure for the mining dis
tricts throughout the Sierra foothills,
proved a greater attraction for the invest
ment of mercantile capital than any other
point on the coast, and for a few brief
years her growth was phenomenal and
the wealth of her merchants in
creased without parallel. Then came a
period of dull times when the mines
became exhausted, when thousands,
rich beyond their widest expectations,
forsook the hurly-ourly of California life
for their peaceful homes in Eastern States.
Then many of the larger and wealthier
firms deserted for the greater advantages
OF the Pacific metropolis, and then for a
period came almost utter stagnation in
business circles. But not for any great
length of time could this continue. Situated
at the outlet of one of the richest farming
and fruit-producing valleys on the coast,
Sacramento soon became the shipping
center of these industries which sprang
into life like magic, on the decline of the
mining industries
Possessing six lines of railroad which ra-
date in all directions. and direct river COM
munication with the metropolis and all
foreign countries. the city can but be-
come the leading commercial city of the
interior, and that suchis becoming a recog-
nized fact is evinced by the wonderful
growth and prosperity of the business in
terests of the city and the rapid erection
of magnificent residences in all portions
of this municipality.
Even the downtown precincts are rap

studying drawing and painting in all its
branches, as we'll as the technical details
of art.
This school is under the management OF
the California Museum Association. an in
corporated society for scientific, literary
and artistic pursuits. 1t is not conducted
for profit and the entire income is devoted
to the school. 1t is located in the Crocker
Art Gallery, a beautiful building on spa
cious grounds. filed with works OF both
modern and ancient masters, besides thou
sands of studies. It's art school and class
rooms are the finest in the country; it's
collection of casts and school appliances
is complete and modern. This is also fa-
vor1te place of resort for citizens.
One of the handsomest business houses
which has been erected during the past
year is the Joseph building, erected by
Architect James Seadler, who for years
past has ranked as leading architect OF
Sacramento, and has many evidences of his
skill scattered through various counties OF
Northern California. This building is SIT.
uated on the northeast corner of Sixth
ana X streets, and is three stories in
height, with a basement. The structure
is of brick, faced with Redding stone. On
the first floor there are three stores. The
second floor has sixteen office-rooms, and
the third is arranged for three apartm ents
of five rooms each, with baths, ETC. This
building was erected by Silas Carle, a
contractor who is well known through
out Northern and Central Callfor-
MIA, and who has constructed the ma
jority of the handsomest buildings in
the city of Sacramento. He has also
been identified with large building inter-
ests of various kinds fumes, bridges,
etc.-and probably gives employment to
as many skilled artisans as any man in
Sacramento County.
The building in question has a very COM
plete system of ventilation and plum bing,
this work having been performed by
George Stack, who is considered one of the
leading men in the plumbing line in this
city.

ing and the Weinstock & Lubin annex.

S225, 900 gold coin, and its president, Will
liam Beckman, is strongly identified with
the city's best interests.
The Sacramento Bank possesses a guar
anteed capital of $500,00O, and is the
oldest institution of it's kind in Sacramento.
Its enterprising president, w. P. Coleman,
is quietly in accord with every progressive
plan presented and is unsurpassed in en-
terprise and advancement.
The real estate firms of Sacramento have
done and are doing much to forward the
material interests of this city and its
immediate locality, and no class of citi-
zens in the city are more prominent in
receiving and entertaining strangers and
affordlng them opportunities of closely
examining the many advantages offered
by the locality for settlement; nor is it
essential that the visitor should be pros
pect1ve purchaser. The mere fact that he
is stranger calls forth all their hospitality,
as 1t did with their forefathers in the days
of old. Among the foremost firms in this
line are <. i. Hawk and Edwin X. Alsip,
The latter firm at the present time is
handling the interests of the Sunset
Colony. There are others of great worth
and prominence.
The tax rate on city property is not now
as low as in some few other cities on the
coast, but with the steady income derived
from the water works, which more than
suffices to defray all the current expenses,
it is an assured fact that within two years
the city's debt will be wiped out and the
tax rate will be reduced to a minimum.
Such is a brief list of the manifold ad-
vantages offered by this locality to those
of our Eastern brethren who, weary of the
constant struggle with frosts and droughts,
seek openings for the establishment of a
home in this favored cline.
Such is Sacramento, city with the

tribes hold counsel and smoke the pipe oil
peace. The Grand Army of the Republic is
represented by six posts, circles and corps.
The United Order OF Druids. Native Daugh-
ters, Good .Templars, United Workmen,
all have representation in the city. while
the energy and push of the Native Sons OF
the Golden West of Sacramento have been
fully exemplifed and are appreciated from
one end of the State to the other.
Ii there is any one attribute of the city
in which the citizens take deserved pride
it is the magnificent educationa system
which has been fostered and promoted by
their enterprise and devotion to the en-
couragement of learning. From the kim
dergarten to the high school the system
is absolutely complete, and the latter in
stitution, under the able management of
Professor Pond, is becoming known all
over the State for its thorough course of ed
ucational advantages.
At the beginning of the present term 1t
was found to be an impossibility to ac-
commodate ali the applicants for admis-
sion, many of whom came from other
cities. The system at the present time
embodies ten primary schools. four free
kindergartens. four grammar schools and
the high schools. Besides these there are
several private institutions of learning
and business colleges The School of De-
sign, under the management of w. f.
Jackson, has attained Statewide popu-
larity. 1t was organized for the purpose
of teaching designing and the pictorial
art. and has facilities for all desirous of

cost came from other localities: It's pro.
ductions will in the main benefit this To-
cality.
The frut-canning industry is largely
represented in this city and affords in sea-
son employment to hundreds of women
and children, but there is alwaysNroom in
this field for the Introduction of capital
with certainty of abundance OF material
at reasonable rates which will yield a fair
return on investments.
On the outskirts of the city there is an
industry which is more than an important
factor in the furtherance Of the city's
growth and an added incentive to the
establishment of manufacturing interests
at this point, as it insures an abundance cf
building material at rates as low. if not
lower. than can be procured elsewhere
the brick making industry. III one ward
alone are produced nearly 10000, 900 brick
annually, and all the modern appliances
are possessed by the owners of the plant to
manufacture any grade of this building
material desired and in any quantity.
Without doubt what will eventually be
an important factor In promoting the
growth of trade in this city is the contem-
plated electric line of railroad which is
shortly to be built for distance of over
twenty miles into one of the richest farm
ing and fruit producing districts of the
this road would be built In the near future
has resultediin the establishment of large
colonization scheme few miles from the
city, which has already a substantial
nucleus of bright, energetic Eastern men,
The San Francisco call., 1896-02-14

whose brains and Drawn will add materi-
ally to the welfare of the city, and whose
glowing accounts of soil and climate sent
to home friends IN the East are rapidly re-
sulting in inducing others to abandon
their homes and settle in this favored
locality.
This electric line taps a fruit-producing
area second to none in the State, where
not only all the ordinary fruits can be pro-
duced, but where the orange and lemon
grow and mature with but little if any
danger OF blighting frosts. Vegeta bles
can also be grown with but little irriga-
ton, and the rapid facilities of transporta-
ton to central market can but prove
a source of immediate revenue to any who
may engage in their production. This
will also afford an added incentive to
the establishment of canning and fruit
drying establishments at this place. This
city is probably the best equipped on the
coast in point of local telephonic COM
munication.
The recent incorporation of the Capital
Telephone and Telegraph Company, which
has been organized by number of pro-
gresSlVe citizens and business men of this
locality, and is in successful operation, has
raised spirit of competition between it
and the Bell Telephone Company, which
has resulted in such reduction of rates as
to place the instruments within the reach
ofall and they are being rapidly introduced
into the residences in all portions of the
city,
In point of social, religious and educa-
tional advantages Sacramento ranks in the
foreground in comparison with any city of
Northern California. Over twenty-five
churches and religious societies, of almost
every denomination, own handsome edi-
fees within its limits, and the newly erected
Catholic cathedral is famed throughout the
State for the beauty of its architecture and
the completeness of interior arrangements.
The secret and benevolent societies of
the city are legion. The Masonic frater-
nifty is represented by ten lodges, chap
ters and communicates. The Odd Fellows
have thirteen lodges, encampments and
can;ons. The Knights of Pythias possess
eight departments OF the order. The I'M
proved Order of Red Men of four separate

Although the Electric Power and Light
Company has an immense surplus of I'M
used power at their disposal at the present
tune, yet they have positive assurance
that within few brief months nearly the
entire amount will be proftably en-
ployed, and they are already making
preparations to double the capacity of
their plant, which can easily be done by
using their second fall at the original

sacramento is essentially a city of
homes, the tenement system of the East
never having been introduced In this To-
ca1ty, and from the wealthy business
man and capitalist whose magnificent
residence is surrounded by extensive and
handsomely adorned grounds, to the more
unpretentious cottage of the sturdy artisan
with its miniature lawn, Towering shrubs
and semi-tropical plants, each vie with
the other in adding to the beauty of the
city. 1t is apparently the ambition OF
every mechanic and laborer to own his
own residence and to beautify its sur
roundings as far as his time and means
allow. In point of costly mansions and
elegant cottages of the wealthy Sacra-
mento excels any city of the same popula-
ton on the coast.
Nor are these latter edifices grouped in
any one locality; on The contrary, they are
scattered throughout the city and are con-
