Land and immigration.

To the President and Members of the
Sacramento Chamber Of Commerce--Gen--
tlemen: Your Committee on Land and
immigration beg leave to make the fol-
lowing report:
The great depression that has prevailed
in business circles not here alone, but
throughout the continent for the last four
or five years, has had a very demoranz-
ing effect upon values. and particularly
and yet, Notwithstanding the hard
times and adversities with which We
have had to contend. land values in Call
iforna have been better maintained and
are higher as rule than in any other
State in the Union. This result is due
to the wonderful diversity of Californias
resources.
The most recent example of the ability
of California to adapt itself to new con-
ditons was shown in the development of
foreign market for our fruits and thus
in measure counteracting overproduc-
ton. California from
A HORTICULTURAL STANDPOINT.
Is rapidly becoming world renowned. The
superior quality of its fruit is being rec
ognized in all parts of the world.
Within the last two years great prog
ress has been made in developing foreign
markets for our fruit. When it was first
suggested that this could be done the
idea was scoffed at by those who assumed
to know. 1t was regarded as an idiotic
proposition and kindred to that of
CARRYING COAL TO NEWCASTLE"
In fact, it was claimed that the only
countries would come through the levy
ing of high protective tariff upon their
fruit and fruit product importations. The
reasons given for this belief were that
many of those countries were fruit pro-
ducing and that their fruit was of SUI
perior quality and grown in sufficient
quantity to supply all home demands and
leave a very large surplus for export.
That from this surplus not only all de-
mands from non-fruit growing countries
but also our home markets could and
would be supplied. That the cost of labor
in those countries was nominal, a mere
trifle as compared with ours. That the
cost of transportation was also nominal,
it costing only about IS per ton to land
the foreign grown fruit in our Atlantic
seaports, while it cost our growers for
transportation to the same markets about
$25 per ton: therefore, it was claimed that
heavy custom duty should be levied
upon all imports of this character In or
der to protect our home markets for the
benefit of our own people. That even
with such tariff no great good could
be expected to accrue for the reason that
the orchards already set out in California
would produce more than could or would
be consumed in this country. In support
of this claim the fact was cited that in

Committee ON Commerce.
Sacramento. Feb. 8. 1ss

Sacramento, FEB. 3, 1879.
To the President and Members OF the
Sacramento Chamber of Commerce: Your
Committee on Commerce during last year
had a number of very important matters
brought before it, all of which received
careful consideration and attention at its
hands. We have not always been able
to carry out our views and wishes to
successful conclusion but in many cases
we have accomplished some good work.
Early in the year our attention was at
tracted to the advantages that would re-
suit to our commercial and manufacturing
interests by the creation OF national De-
partment of Commerce and Industry. Res-
olutions were prepared and submitted ana
passed by this chamber advocating the
creation of such a department and our
Representatives in Congress We're urged
to favor Senate bill GA, introduced for the
purpose in view.
This committee has also urged our Rep
resentatives in Congress to take some ac-
ton on Senate bill 1916, as amended II. X.
bill $780, approving of what is known as
the anti-Scalping bill.
The serious and unjust competition OF
the Canadian Pacific Railroad as against
our American railroad systems, and its
effect on the manufacturing and CONNER
cial interests of the Pacific Coast states,
has received careful consideration at our
hands We regard this competition as OF
such a serious and hurtful nature that
we passed resolutions petitioning our Rep
resentat tives in Congress to favor such
legislation as will afford relief
The much needed improvements in the
Sacramento River have been thoroughly
appreciated by this committee, and every
thing in their power has been done to
hasten the necessary work. We have
urged our Representatives in Congress to
use persistent efforts to inaugurate and
continue the improvements our increasing
business on the Sacramento River re-
quires and demands.
Resolutions were introduced and passed
commencing the Commission OF Pubic
Works. the Auditing Board and Engineer
to the Commissioner for the excellent and
economical work they are doing. We
have drawn this boards attention to the
immediate necessity of some work being
done to remove the sandbar forming on
our river front, and we have their prom
ise that such steps as may be in their
power will be taken as soon as circum-
stances will permit. Yours truly,
(Signed) VIM. Schaw, P. c. Drescher,

tee on Commerce.

An American Railroad in China

Moneyed men from the United States
have secured franchise for building a
railroad from Hongkong to Han Kow,
China, distance of nearly 700 miles.
While railroads are necessary to ma
tion's prosperity, health is still more nee
essary. A sick man can't make money
if there are thousand railroads. One
of the reasons why America is so pro-
gressive is the fact that in every drug
store is sold Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
that celebrated tonic for the weak, ap-
petizer for the dyspeptic and sedative for
the nervous. 1t is taken with great sue
cess by thousands of men and women
who are run down, pale and weak. 1t
increases the weight, and the gain is
permanent and substantial
