More Than Twenty Thou
sand Fasteners Came
Here During Month

Never before has there been so much
interest in the East in California as is
being manifested at present. The
Eastern bureau of the California Pro-
motion Committee, in New York City
is receiving a constant stream of in
quiries and personal visits from per-
sons in every walk in life. A special
effort has been made during the winter
to secure the attention of Eastern
workmen to the opportunities awaiting
them in this State. To this end many
illustrated lectures have been given in
New York and neighboring cities
Colvin B. Brown, manager of the
Eastern bureau, lately addressed a
gathering of magazine editors at a
banquet given by the American Instf-
tute of Social Service. His subject was
California and It's Opportunities >,
Brown has enlisted the active interest
of many of the Eastern journalists and
newspaper men, and the results are
being shown in an Increasing number
of visits to the Eastern bureau.
Since the beginning of March more
than twenty thousand colonfsts have
come to the State, as result of the
special railroad rates from all points
East, and the systematized pubIicitv
which has been given to CALIFORNIA;
advantages throughout the winter. The
great bulk of these immigrants are of
two classes; workmen who have crossed
the mountains TO avail themselves Of
the high wages prevailing here. and
sturdy agriculturists. who bring with
them experience in farming and a limit
ed capital. with the intention of Joining
the movement for intensive farming
which is now changing the whole agri

There must be carried out a general CEN

The principal exports from the United
States to Uruguay, are lumber, petroleum
and agricultural implements The prin-
cpal exports from Uruguay are hides and
skins. Mr.. O'Hara says that there is not
single American mercantile house In the
country. There is one American citizen in
business at Montevideo, but he is con-
nected with an English establishment.
There Is not single American article
sold in this market that could be replaced
by a similar product from any other coun-
try: In other words, American articles sell
themselves" he writes. "American-made
articles are sold here in comparatively large
quantities. but they are not pushed If ar
ticleS manufactured in the Salesmans own
country can take their place. Mercantile
business in this country has been and still
is very profitable. and there is no good
reason why the American merchant should
not have some share of the proht. The
merchant and manufacturer of every other
nation bring their products, supervise their
sales manage their business study the
wants and conditions and accede TO them.
We send products to foreign mer-
chant to sell in competit on with the prod
ucts of his own country. and yet We are
not satisfied with the results. Well-suppled
retail department stores. conducted on
American lines with American equipments,
would not only be sufficiently profitable, but
at the same time would serve us an ad-
vertisement of American goods and meth

Public Improvements.
The government of Uruguay is about to
expend $3,OO0,0OO for public improvements.
chiefly roads and bridges, and Mr.. OHara
says that these projects offer an Cppor-
tunity to American manufacturers to sell
q large quantity of roadmaking machinery,
such as graders stone crushers and roll
ers, as well as material for steel bridges"
One American firm has already obtained
a contract for steel bridge.
In explaining the lack of trade Mr.
O'Hara gives the same old reasons that are
reneara6 after year by everybody
who discusses the question-namely, no
steamship communication no personal rep
resentatives of our manufacturing inter
ests in the country. and the neslect Oh o.
