County Progress
Is Strongly
Marked.

The newspapers of the interior cities
of California are doing their best to
have the facts known concerning the
localities wherein they are published.
These publications make up a compen-
dunn of local information of unquej-
toned value that could hardly be other
wise arrived at. Sonoma County is the
general theme of the Santa Rosa Press
Democrat in a recent issue, but much
space is also devoted especially to San
Ia Rosa. Among the more striking
statements made is one about trans
portation: Twenty trains arrive at
and depart from Santa Rosa every day,
connecting the city with all parts of
the county, the interior of the State,
San Francisco, Sacramento; the over
land trains for the East, Oregon, the
sound cities and British Columbia"
The claim is made also that Santa
Rosa is the natural capital of the
northwest coast and the railway CEN
ter for a large territory" Concerning
the growth of Santa Rosa it is said:
When the first railroad reached Santa Rosa
in 1871 the place had fewer than 1000 inhabit-
ants, which increased in the next few years to
3000 since which time il has had a rapid
growth. 1t is now surrounded by many small,
we'll cultivated farms 1t has very large out
lying hop. fruit and wine interests which CEN
in the city. Not less than 16, 600 bales of
hops and large quantities Of fresh. dried and
canned fruits. vegetables, grapes and wine
sold annually in Santa Rosa. There is rap
idly increasing industry in growing vegetables
for canning, especially asparagus tomatoes and
string beans, all of which are profitable crops.
The yield OF tomatoes per ton is astonishing;
they thrive beyond all precedent in this at

INDUSTRIAL EXHIBITS.

In a way, these suggestions indicate
something OF the scope of what San
Francisco has to exhibit. There are
many details that must necessarily be
overlooked in an article Of the pre-
scribed length on this theme. We have
the products Of mills. factories. shops
and OF a countless great variety Of in
dustrial enterprises due TO San Fran
cisco capital and existing in San Fran
cisco that are worth showing.
Many of the products are unique.
Among these may be classed mining
machinery and appliances. which are
world famous. We have a vast array
of vessels Of all descriptions at our
vvhsrves. from the small river boat OF
peculiar construction TO the ponderous
carrier Of huge bulks Of freight; trans

NUMEROUS ATTRACTIONS.

Santa Rosa is justly pictured as a
city strong in fraternal and social So
cieties; provided with excellent educa-
tional advantages and with numerous
churches; a we'll equipped and efficient
paid Fire Department; with excellent
social conditions. In the schools are
enrolled about 1000 pupils, who are
taught by thirty-three teachers. The
new high school building cost $50, 900.
The school is accredited by the Univer-
sity of California. There are manufac-
turing establishments in Santa Rosa
that are doing well. The climate is il
lustrated by the floral products of the
city, which are alluded to as follows:
Santa Rosa, 1.-The City Of Roses" has long
been noted for its gardens of ornamental
trees and flowers. 1t is the natural home of
roses, geraniums, lilies, chrysanthemums,

City Is Rich in Show Materials That

rick H. COburn secretary Exposition Committee

All California is engaged in making
its resources and its climatic and other
advantages known TO the world as
much as possible. Civic pride has
something TO do with this. We are all
proud Of California, Of course. The de-
sire TO promote the growth of our State
in material prosperity actuates US
strongly. We are not averse to having
the world know what conditions attend
us daily. We wish to have those who
would be an advantage to California
come TO dwell with US.
This is the desire of the interior
towns and cities and Of the people Of
all sections Of the State. San Fran
cisco is as much interested in having
its beauties and advantages talked
about by the world at large as is any
hamlet in California. Hence it is that
san Francisco citizens of public spirit,
appreciatiye Of the opportunity that is
afforded for publicity at worlds fair
have taken the preliminary steps 10
have a fitting show in behalf OF ana
representative Of San Francisco, in so
FAR as is possible, al St. Louis great
exposition.
The question is naturally asked as to
what San Francisco has TO exhibit and
how il is purpOsed to show what we
have. That is q plain question and de-
serves a plain answer, which 1 have
been requested TO make through the
columns Of The Call. No one IN Cali
fornia could well imagine California
as complete with San Francisco left
out. II is the metropolis Of California
the moneyed center, the seat of the
greatest manufacturing industries. The
great commercial port Of the State is
here. The great rivers Of the northern
and central counties are tributary TO
the Bay Of San Francisco. This city is
destined TO be to the Pacific coast what
New York is 10 the Atlantic coastal
once a propelling financial and indus
trial power and a beneficiary from the
vast and fruitful country which has
been linked with its destiny by nature.
San Francisco has the greatest popu-
lafion of any city west of the Missouri
River With the primacy in manu-
featuring, in population. in capital in
vested and in banks. in number OF
school children and educational advan-
tages: as the center Of musical interest
and culture for the Pacific coast; with
more Libraries, more miles Of water
front tributary 20 IT, facing the Orient
and being the chief point Of departure
by sea for all Pacific Ocean countries
and islands-these are some of the fac
tors that enter into the provision Of
worthy and interestingly numerous ex-
hibits to Justify an appearance at St.
Louis in competition with other great
American municipalities.

RESOURCES ARE VARIED.

The Free Press makes a good show
ing for Shasta County and its COM
munities in several ways. 1t says that
219, 900, 900 fish eggs have been shipped
from Shasta from the Government fish
cries In addition to the mining in
dustries the stock raising and lumber
ing industries are good sources of
wealth. There is a great water power
in the county. AS to the vegetation it
is said:
Fruit raising is carried extensively. and
the yearly output of green fruit aggregates
several hundred carloads much of which Is
shipped to the Eastern market. The famous
Happy Valley section is prolific in the pro-
duction of fruits of all kinds. Peaches, pears,
apricots, plums. prunes and all varieties OF
quality uneXcelled. The Anderson Valley.
Churn Creek bottom and the mountainous sec
tions in Eastern Shasta are all prolific pro-
ducers of fruit and berries.
Oranges, lemons and bananas grow and
thrive in Shasta, and palms, magnolias and
other tropical plants appear to be in their
The water power in the county is unsur-
passed. Here is supplied the power that gen.
crates all the electricity that Is used in Red
ding and surrounding towns and in all of the
towns of the Sacramento Valley as far south
as Willows.
Shasta County has good schools and
many churches. Redding now has a
population of more than $500. The place
contains four hotels. The third rank
In freight shipments in the State has
been won. The assessed value of the
county is s10,SSS, 900, while Redding is
assessed for $1,635, 900.
TOWNS IN THE COUNTY.
Among the new buildings are the Shasta
County High School, costing $4,000; Lorenz
Hotel. 800. 900: Jaegel block. $40, 600; Jacobson
building, $17. coo; Eaton block, ST., 600 and
business houses and residences aggregatine
$500 000 A Carnegie library, Just completed,
is a $1,000 donation from Andrew Carnegie.
Keswicl is town of about 1000 souls, the
seat of the Keswick smelters Anderson, the
center of the fruit growing section, is a pretty
place of nearly 1000 people, with beautiful
homes and fertile orchards even within its
limits.
Cottonwood, at the extreme southern end
OF the county, is the shipping point the
Southern Pacific Railroad for the great lumber
mills in Eastern Shasta. The industry is as
suming gigantic proportions, not only in East
ern but in Northern Shasta as well. The
Terry Lumber Company alone, operating al
Bella Vista, turns out 200,O feet of lumber
per day.

MINING IN SHASTA.

Shasta County is proud Of its great
increase in mineral output. Hence the
Redding Free Press, which has pub
lished a special edition devoted to the
county of Shasta, says:
Since the new furnace at the Bully Hill
smelter has been blown in, Shasta County IS
producing at least $500 coo a month in metallic
wealth. The output of 1902 and 1903 was ma
teriaIly reduced by the strike, which began in
October, 1902 and which prevented full re-
sumption until June 1903, but this unfortunate
condition no longer exists. and the present year
promises to reach the SO, 600 mark in our
output. Shasta County leads the next best
county in the State by 500 per cent in the
value of its metal output. and the present rate
Of monthly production is 1000 per cent in ad-
vance OF the monthly production of 1896.
This remarkable showing is due mainly to
the magnificent development on the base ore
belt but the quartz districts Of Shasta
County are attracting wider attention than
ever partly because of the silicious ore mar
ket supplied by the smelters, and partly be-
cause OF the advantages in metallurgical and
mechanical processes, which makes these ores
reducibe on the ground Harrison Gulch and
French GuIch continuous and profitable
producing districts of this character. Some
Shipments of ores are made from the latter
district but the greater portion of the output
is treated on the ground. In the Old Disgings
district the most extensive shippers OF the
county are located mainly because Of the close
proximity of the mines to the big keswick
oil far

WHAT SULPHUR DOES.
For the Human Body i'll Health and
Disease

The mention of sulphur will recall
to many Of us the early days when
cur mothers and guandmotherS gave
us our daily dose of sulphur and mo-
lass IS every spring anu fall.
was the universal spring and fall
OBJ BOD purifier" tonic ard cure-dll.
aisi mind you, this old-fashioned rem
el.y was not without merit
che idea was good but the remedy
Ma S crude and unpalatahle, and
lal &c quantity had 10 be taken TO get
any effect.
Nowadays we get all the beneficial
effects of sulphur in a palatable, con-
centrated form, SO that single grain
IS far more effective than a table
spoonful of the crude sulphur.
in recent years, research and eXper-
iment have proven that the best sui
phur for medicinal use is that obtain
cd from Calcium Calcium Sulrhide)
and sold in drug stores under the name
Of Stuarts Calcium Waters They are
small chocolate coated pellets and con-
tain the active medicinal principle of
fective form.
Few people are aware of the value
Of this form of sulphur in restoring
and maintaining bodily vigor and
nealth, sulphur acts directly on the
liver, ard excretory organs and purl-
fieS and enricheS the blood by the
prompt elimination of waste material.
Our grardmothers knew this VIXEN
they dosed us with sulphur and mo-
lasses every spring and fall, but the
crudity and impurity of ordinary flow
ers of sulphur were often worse than
the disease, and cannot compare with
the modern concentrated preparations
of sulphur of which StuartS Calcium
Waters is undoubtedly the best and
most widely used.
They are the natural antidote for
liver and kidney troubles and cure
constipation and purify the blood III a
way that often surprises patient and
physician alike.
Or. r. NJ. Wilkins while expert
menting with sulphur remedies soon
found that the sulphur from Calcium
was superior to any other form. He
says: For liver, kidney and blood
troubles, especially when resulting
IL ON constipation or malaria, / have
been surprised at the results obtained
from Stuart's Calcium Waters In pa
tents suffering from boils and pimples
and even deep-Seated carbuncles, |
have repeatedly seen them dry up and
disappear in four or five days, leaving
the skin clear and smooth. Although
Stuart's Calcium Waters is proprle-
tary article and sold by druggists, and
fer that reason taboCed by many rhy-
S clans, yet [ know of nothing so Safe
and reliable for constipation, liver and
kidney troubles and especially in ali
forms of skin disease as this remedy.
At any rate people who are tired OF
pills, cathartiCs and so-called blood
purifiers will find in Stuarts Cal
CUM Waters, a far safer, more paIat-
able and effective preparation.
