age by steamers north and south, oi converted into canned goods by Sar Diego establishments and shipped tc the oriental trade.
 Twill these be surplus products? No they will merely supply the place oi other goods to the value of millions now brought from Kansas and Texas and from the packing housos of Omaha Kansas City and Chicago. Vast quan titles of such commodities which nov reach their market through the Colder Gate will, in obedience to the law which demands the cheapest and near est outlet, choose the Silver Gate in stead. The market already exists but has been compelled to draw upor the east for supplies that will now bt forthcoming from the resources oi San Diego county and its neighbor hood.
 Aside from the products of the az ricultural and live stock industries the reclamation of these rich lands oi the Colorado delta means much to tn, railroad in passenger and freight traf fic. The cultivation of the lands mus inevitably create one large town anC several smaller ones. Great quantitie, of building material and other supple, must be constantly brought in from outside. To realize the meaning o1 these facts we have but to refer tc other communities and their surround ing agricultural prosperity brought forth from the desert by irrigation.
 "The Salt River valley of Arizona and the Kern river district of California have each in cultivation an area about equal to that which will be in crops or the Colorado delta as soon as the rail road can be built. On the Colorado delta the conditions of water supply and soil are even more favorable while the climate is equally as good.
 "The Salt River valley sustains the fine city of Phoenix, one of the most prosperous communities in the west It has a population of more than eight thovsan nd, while across the river in the same valley are Tempe and Mesa City, with population of about l,5OO each. These irrigated lands and the three communities support two railroads with a total length of nearly 300 miles One of these roads draws its annual earnings of some S5,O00 per mile, ex. clusively from the Salt River valley. The other and longer road, with an nual earnings of over S5,000 per mile, is largely sustained from the same source.
 Bakersfield furnishes another in- stance of the same kind. Here the town population and cultivated land are practically similar to those in the Salt River valley. A few years ago, five years previous to the oil discov- cries, the public-spirited citizens of Bakersfield undertook to demonstrate that the business available at that point would alone justify the construc' tion of railroal 300 miles to San Francisco, at cost of S20,OOO per mile. Their demonstration proved So convincing that capital was quickly

, mittee has been holding daily ses' sions lately. A finance committee has been named. This committee consists of forty of the most prominent citizens of the bay city. and their duty will be to collect the S5O,OOO to be used by the executive committee to carry out the preliminary work of surveying. secur' ing rights of way, franchises, subsi- dies, and general data with which to interest capital.
 The committee has completed and presented to the public a preliminary report of its plans. In this report the committee treats the project as busi- ness proposition, and says:
 After the most careful considera- ton, the committee feels that the rail road is a feasible enterprise. Measur- ed solely upon its merits as financial and commercial undertaking, it must make the strongest appeal to capital. Knowing that the people of this city and county are ready to do we'll their part, it is safe to say that the under taking can surely be accomplished.
 Ut can be shown that the railroad is justified by the actual demands of ex' isting traffic and by the possibilities of future growth in the region traversed by and tributary to ii. Having con vinced ourselves, ii is necessary to con vince outside capital that il is justified not only as the true short line to the orient but by the local business to be commanded and made immediately available as earnings. Fortunately, we are able to meet these severe con- ditions in the most complete and un- answerable manner.
 Already water for 100000 acres is flowing through the canals of the Inn perial system. Within one year from the present time at least 5000 acres will be in actual cultivation. By the time railroad could be completed and placed in operation it is reasonable to suppose NIldN VIII OS iil cultivation, while water will be avail able for 30O, 900 acres. What is the significance of these facts from the standpoint of the railroad project? It is reasonable to suppose that 7S,OOO acres of this area will be planted to alfalfa. This would produce at least 6sO, 1000 tons of hay annually, sufficient to fatten lS0, 900 head of steers. Ii is fair to presume that 7S,O00 acres more will be variously planted to wheat, barley, oats, corn, other cereals, vege- tables and root crops, for which there is a large market on the Pacific coast. Where will these products be con- sumed? The major portion of the al- falfa will be fed to cattle on the ground, but large quantities will be shipped here to supply the local market or be distributed along the Pacific coast, north and south from San Diego. Grain will be brought here and loaded onto ships for Liverpool, or ground in- 10 -four for our oriental trade. Cattle, hogs, and sheep will be moved in large and ever increasing numbers to be slaughtered and shipped in cold stor-
