CALIFORNIA LETTER.
(CONTINUED.D

in travelling over the Southern |
Pacific, after dark has fallen over
beautiful California, one is attracted |
by the bright Examinations around |
every little station, no matter how
small, showing well-kept lawns and
parking and a distant glimpse of
paved streets with beautiful trees. |
over the station will be a huge sign
in electric lights, telling the name
of the town Signs in the railroad
stations direct strangers to the local
Chamber Of Commerce; in fact there
is always at each station an employee
of the Chamber of Commerce in
uniform, wearing cap, marked
Chamber of Commerce." 1t is his
business to meet all strangers and
show them around. He has charge
of the information booth at the sta
ton. Prospective investors or even
tourists, who merely want to look AT
the town or ranches, ard given free
automobile rides to view the indus
tries, homes and surrounding couu-
try Attractive, illustrated printed
matter is always given them when
leaving, and an invitation to come
again. When q stranger takes his
departure from one of these Califor-
MIA towns, no stone has been left un-
turned by the Chamber of Commerce
10 induce him to settle there. He
has complete information as to the
resources, the industries, and what
can be most profitably grown on the
ranches. He has been given oppor-
unity TO talk personally with the
successful ranChmen and inspect the
work going ON at the ranches He
knows the cost Of production down to
every detail, including irrigation.

unusually finely-equipped public

It transpired later than this man
was to appear in celebrated murder
case as the principal witness for the
prosecution. An army officer had shot
down civilian. The suicide had
read every detail Of the murder as
published in local newspapers, which
he procured from long distance. and
had worked himself up to such state
