The record-union., 1897-12-28

Of the committee. Much has been ac-
complished by a somewhat similar
method followed in another State. The
plan will present in a form which will
suit the convenience of the publisher,
the conditions in the Sacramento VAL
ley which it is believed justify the ex-
pectatiop that it will secure in the
coming decade the population its eli
mate and fertility Of soil should at
tract
If the ideas embodied in the recon-
mendation of the convention be carried
out, the Only Sacramento Valley will
in the course of a year become known
to nearly half a million readers of the
League papers. That the attractive
ness of particular counties can be pre-
sented to large number of new read
ers il is not necessary to urge upon
your attention. The present is an
opportune time, just as the Sacramento
Valley seems to be entering upon its
new life, to begin to do our share to
carry on the good work. We rely upon
every member of the League to earnest
ly and conscientiously do his part. Fol-
lowing is the plan adopted by the last
convention, and to which we desire to
particularly call your attention:
"First-We urge that the different
papers forming the League, whether
week!ies or dailies, shall publish at least
as often as once week an article Civ
ing the advantages, facilities and op-
portunities offered by the different To-
calities covered by the papers forming
the League to homeseekers.
"Second-We urge that every week.
whether daily or weekly be published,
that each paper of the League publish
an article portraying the advantages,
resources and business opportunities of
California, with particular reference to
it's desirahility as place for the invest
ment Of capital.
"Tkird-We urge that from time to
time, as it suits the convenience of the
publisher, general articles descriptive
of the Sacramento Valley, the county
and the particular locality where the
paper is published, be run. We rec
ommend that the general article on the
Sacramento Valley. the county article
and the local article be stereotyped, so
that they may be run conveniently as
occasion offers, and believe that if all
the articles are prepared in such
manner as to be divisable into inde-
pendent parts it will prove advantage
Gus and permit a more frequent use
of the matter.
"Fourth-We urge that at least once
a month all, or at least a portion OF
such standing article be run, accord
ing to the convenience of the publisher,
and recommend that on occasions OF
this kind a special rate of - per copy,
addressed in wrappers, be made to
parties who desire to make use of
them, and that each member of the
League send a copy of his publication
to the State Board of Trade.
'F'ifth-We believe that it would be
advantageous to request the publica-
ton by the papers of the League of ar
ticles on the Sacramento Valley, not
to exceed LOO words in length, and
that from these articles the Executive
Committee select one to be stereotyped
and fu, ,nished to the members at cost.
"Sixth-We believe that 1t is desir-
able that supplementary to such as
can be secured from local sources, that
lists of names registered at the State
Board of Trade, or lists of people Sc
cured from other sources, be sent by
the League from time to time to its
members, and that copies Of papers
containing matter suitable for use
among possible homeseekerS be sent
TO such addresses. We urge that mem
bers secure from local sources lists of
names of Eastern people to whom pa
pers, in such quantity as suits the
ideas of publishers, may be sent gra-
tuitously We recommend that from
time to time the lists of names secured
from local sources be exchanged
through the Executive Committee, or
otherwise. We urge that all members
of the League make an effort to secure
from their local subscribers subscrip-
tions to be sent East, and urge. rnar a
specially low rate be made on such sub
scriptions.
'Seventh-We urge that constant at
tention be paid to local conditions, such
as climate, crops and illustrations of
profits made in agriculture, not that it
has 50 much value locally, as it does
to the Eastern reader, who may be in
terested in California through this in
strunentality.
The Executive Committee believe
that there is much to be gained by
League in the work of advertising the
Only Sacramento Valley on the above
plan. 1t is hoped that each member
Of the League will do his part of the
labor invited, as all will be sharers in
the benefits seemingly assured by a
faithful adherence to the plan recon-
mended."

mento Valley Press League will be
