The San Francisco call., 1904-02-29

is an average rate of ten day, or more than
5000 a year. During the year 1903, 1900
pieces of literature were circulated among the
people Of the East; agricultursts from the
German empire and other eminent men from
county and told of it's wonderful agricultural
wealth. An elaborate display of county prod
ucts has been prepared for st. Louis. great
pains having been taken to select typical sam
pies of the things grown around Stockton, and
to display them in attractive manner.
The chamber has invited and encouraged
new people and new enterprises and at the
present time Stockton is of the most fav
orably talked of cities on the Pacific coast.
While all this was being done the chamber
paid all running expenses debt of $11O5, and
wound up the year with good cash balance
ahead.
At the same banquet Director Clary
said: e
Already two great transcontinentaI railway
systems afford outlet for the enormous
products Of fields and factories. A third
is assured to us that Will open to the activity
of our merchants and producers new markets
FOR their commodities Ihls IS an era IN
which there is but one market and that a
to the millers of Chicago and Liverpool Our
millstuffs compete with those of England,
China and the Orient. Our fruit and grapes
grace the banquet tables in the most distant
cities in the United States. The marketing
of our produce resolves itself then into ques-
ton of transportation. Stockton. with its two
railways and the promised third, as a distrib-
uting point must take second place TO no city
in the State
Another Potent force in the growth of Stock
ton is the advent into town Of the long
distance transmission of electrical power. The
ever-howing streams of the high Sierras have
been harnessed by the ingenuity of the human
mind and power is being furnished to the fac
tories of Stockton at rates that render them
competitors with the most favored localities IN
the State.
We have then the natural and artificial ele
ments necessary TO the building up of great
community. But these two factors, strong in
themselves, must be united with third in
order that the most fruitful results may be
olf I'd ar,d all INN Orf Mt
ment lies with yourselves United action by
the citizens of Stockton in the forwarding OF
this great work will hasten the desired end.
When consider that the bleak and barren
New England, teeming with thousands, is
from her surplus population colonizins the new
countries OF the world, what possibilities have
not who live in a country that compared
to hers is a veritabIe Eden.
Having then a fertile soil, covered by n
balmy climate that will produce all the fruits
of the temperate zone: the natural metropolis
of valley rich in those products that are
capable Of sustaining a population of thirty
times its present number; situated at the
head OF navigation, aided by cheap power and
carry out to a beautiful fulfllment the prom
ises Of her municipal greatness?
