 ed greater potential wealth than at the present.
 Our oil fields are yearly furnishing millions barrels of oil and immense electric power is being generated by the streams of the Sierra. Each of these industries has solved the prob lem of cheap power for California and yet neither has passed the first stage of development. Add to these our winters of gentle spring and our sum- mers without eneTvating heat. making possible a maximum production per employee, and one may read the future of California among manufacturing States.
 The great harbor of San Francisco world, and this connecting link be- tween America an dthe expanding in- terests Of the Orient, Alaska and the islands of the Pacofic has no less value than before the day of the dis aster. The great steamship wharves of San Francisco are intact and so are the two great transcontinental railways. the Southern Pacific and the Santa Fe. The three lines of the Southern Pacific report no diminution in freight or passenger business. not even around the Bay of San Francisco, and equally cheripg are the adyices from the Santa FC The third trans continental line to San Francisco, now building, the Western Pacific, is un- affected by the recent trouble and is going steadily on with it's work.
 California'S s markets are all the con- tinents and islands of the earth. Our thirty-fiVe thousand cars of apples, peaches, prunes, pears. plums, Wdlnuts, olives, grapes, raisins and wines; our thirty thousand carloads of lumber, shipped by land and sea, our train loads of sugar, vegetables and all the multitude of products of our favored soil command that same worldwide market that they have in the past years.
 Our universities at Berkeley and PalO Alto are not crippled; our schools from primary schools to high schools. in their buildings. their equipment and the high class of instructors the sal aries paid cOmand, vsfIer now as here toforc, the greatest possible induce ment to homeseekers desiring the freeSt avenues for their children to- wards highest citizenship. Caiifor- nia remains, as California always has been. The Land of Opportunity
 While in our disaster the sympathy and material aid of all the world has been showered upon us, yet there have been those who by their lurid and wild accounts of the events of April 18th and subsequent days have added to our misfOrtuneS, unwittingly or otherwise, and endeaYOred to prejudice us in the minds of those who will lis ten. The wild accounts, totally with out reason. of thousands of dead and dying in the streets; half the city shaken down by earthquakes; the tales of wantOn murder and ,plunder by the California National Guard: stories of stretches of the waterfront engulfed in the sea and of deep sub sidences of valleys and sea-shore; of buildings topling over into the ocean and of yawning chlSms swallowing cOuntrysides,-such untrue yarns as these have addoI to our burden. Un- der ordinary circumstances the people of California Smile at the stories re- lated of the State, out this is not an une which should not be painted black hour of ease, but one of dark miSfort. CT. Let me again say the city of San Francisco is burned but no1 shaken down by the earthquake shock. Above all other misfortIles, this story Of San Francisco destroyed by earth quake is the one most deeply resent cd by our people and the one most apt to injure us.
 Permit inc to convey to the people Of your State through you the heart felt thanks of San Franeisco's stricken people and of all California for the prompt and generous aid extended to us, and to this I wish to add my of iicial and personal thanks. Should occasion occur, which God forbid, Cal ifornia will show in actions far better than any one may in words, its i'm measurable appreciation of the gener- ous gifts your citizens, unasked, have showered upon us.
 GEORGE c. PARDEE,
 Governor of California
