that it will he built under Americanauspices, despite the peculiar provisionsof the antiquated and lapsed Clayton-Bulwer treaty. There is not an acre ofland iv California that will not be there-by enhanced in value, and not a propertyholder in the state who will not be bene-fited."

The following is a partial statement oftho products of California for the year1804, as compiled by Senator White:

The in-dustrial element of the state is not suffi-ciently developed. You need more oppor-tunities to furnish, employment to thelaborer. And ia order to stimulate man-ufacturing enterprises you must solve thequestion of cheap fuel.

Hon.. O. Z. llubbell. st;\te senator ,of

?Elkhart, Ind.. was next on tlie pro-gramme. He spoke as follows:

"I am asikcil to give a lloosier's im-pressions df California. It might bo aswell to sfcsto tbat an Indiana man nolonger objects to the term Hoosier.' itcan certainly be no reproach, when Cali-fornia goes" to Indiana to procure thepresident lor her largest institution oflearning. , ,

"But whartJjer a Hoosier's impressions

of California are either interesting or in-structive to assy one.othea- than himself isan open question. My lirst impression,of California M7as a preconceived idea ofthe state and ctf her institutions gatheredfrem that magarilioent display of her in-dustry in the California building at,theworld's fair. I said to myself, those ex-hibits are the exceptions, but yet it must

!be a great state in agriculture, in fhorti-culture, in mining, and in the variousindustrial activists which can producesuch exhibits as tS.ese, even as except ions.

"In the latter part of March of thisyear

Ipassed through a, snowstorm in Nevadaand retired in the Pullman car while wewere traversing tho snow-clad summitsof the Sierra.*. Iwont to sleep with thispicture of cortd and barren desolation im-pressed upon my lurind. in the morningwhen I arose and looJced out of the carwindow i saw around me the magnificent

,Ban Joaquin valley. The air was nsLbalmy and tiie grass as green as in our?beautiful June time. The deciduous treeswere iv full foliage, tbe fruit trees Inolosaom, and the sky was cloudless andthe evergreens were gently swaying in themorning breezes and here and there werocottages'emboweTed in the riotous growthof roses. What a contrast! slt seemedtbat in an instant I nu-d made a transla-tion from the Atctic regions to a countryof sub-tropical luxuriance. Tins was myfirst real impression of your wonderfulstate and it made my mind receptive for'the still move wonderful things which I'was to see ana learn on ihe Pacific coast.

"I think one ot tho lirst impressions

made upon the traveler in California isthe vast extent of your territory. Youhave a domain imperial in extent, won-derful in its productions and magnilicentin its prospects."The next thing wnich f note is tlie

enthusiasm and loyalty of yourcitiezns toyour state. Wo became somewhat ac-customed to this in our acquaintance withyour rspresentatives at the world's fair.To me it is a good indication of tluworth of a country, when those who knowit best love it best.

"The next, feature whicli has impressed

itself upon my mind is your courtesy andsponuneous hospitality. The travelerwho comes to California, however, hasheard so much of this feature that heexpects something in this line, but be isnot prepared for tho lavish scale in whichit is .nanifested.

"The .next impression winch I havereceived of your state is its wonderfulproductiveness. I think nowhere elseare such returns received by the agricul-turist and the horticulturist as in the fer-tile valleys of California. Many people inwriting of Southern Calitotrnia fiave

called it the Italy of America. There areindeed some resemblances in climate,products and the topography of thecountry, but not even tho far-famed fer-lile plains of Lombardy approach theproductiveness of California."

"The next thing which has; made anImpression upon me is the colonial lifefeund in tlie fruit belts of your state.Perhaps nowhere else on earth is theresuch an ideal life, so perfect in all that iselevating, so broad iv its culture, so in-telligent, as in sucn communities as Riv-erside. Ontario, Redlands and the variousother colonies in Southern California.They have none of tiie vice of the cityand they have not the lonesomeness andisolation of farm life, and these peopleare as a rule all from the higher walksof life.. "Of course. I could not be here anylength of timo without being impressedby your wonderful climate. I have not.however, been ill youi state long enoughto speak with any degree of intelligenceupon tbis subject, but. I can say that dur-ing the time 1 have spent wit/i you theClimate certainly has been all that couldbe desired.."Tbe next characteristic which has leftan impression upon my mind is the en-ergy of the inhabitants of California.Usually in snb tropical countries there isa sort of lethargy, the peoplo arc dreamy*>nd somewhat indolent, but it is not sohere. I notice hero everywhere a.i activ-ity and.energy that have surprised me.Putting aside the element of size I knowof no place with whicli I.os Angeles canbe adequately compare I in this respect,except Cuicago. And let me pay that inmy opinion there is a glorious destiny tobe achieved by your city. Tho logic ofthe situation points to I.os Angeles becoming the largest and most importantcity on the Pacilic const. My best wishespo with her. and I trust that sue may be-come tho proud queen of the soutli andthe west.

"To one who is accustomed to think ofCalifornia historically, and who remem-bers that some of tlie earnest settlementsif) the United States were made vi.on this

be prohibited. In your plans for the fu-ture let. me suggest' that you keen thisquestion in mind.

"Another thing which it seems to methat the stato needs is a more systematicand organized effort to widen and divers-ify your eastern market. Wo find thispeculiar condition exsting, tbat in somelocalities in the esat the supply of yourcitrus products exceeds the consumption,while in other localities these productsfrom your stato are not on sale at all.The remcdv for this. It seem to me, isreadily found in a more systematic meth-od of introducing your various fruit:- inthe can by agents from your own statoinstead of leaving it in the hands of east-ern commission men and jobbers

"It also seems to me that more of thearid lands may be brought under cultiva-tion by improvements in the methods of.rrigation. In many cases the same waterwhich is now used to irrigate the landcould be tirst used to delevop powerwhich could be transmitted by wire toand parts of your territory, and thereused to pump water for the" purposes ofirrigation. lam aware that this is donesomewhat, but it seems to me that theapplication of electricity to irrigation isyet in its infancy.

"The next thing that impresses one isthe question, What willjiethe futute ofCalifornia? To what extent will she growin commercial and industrial activities?When we look over her history in the pastwe draw encouragement therefrom. In1853 in all this imperial domain of Cali-fornia there were less than 100.000 people.In 1890 there were more than 1,300 noo, sothat in tlie growtli of population tliero iscertainly nothing to discourage you. In1880 the assessed value of taxable proper-ty was $606,000,000; in 1,-192 this had in-creased to $1,275.000,000. ori:n increase ofmore than $50,000,000 annually. Certainly,then, there is no discouraging outlook asto material development. The state ofCalifornia in extent of territory is greaterthan the eight eastern states of Maine,New Hampshire, Vermont. Connecticut.Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New Yorkand Pennsylvania, and yet these stateseasily today support a population of near-ly 10,000,000 people, while California,greater un extent, has only 1.200,000. sothat the question of over-population isnot a present question. California hasmore resources in every way than thekingdom of Japan, and yet the latter,with 70UO square miles less of territory ,Supports a population of .'17.000,000 peo-ple, lint we can form no adequate conoer ?

tion of the future grandeur and magnifi-cence oi this empire state of tho west. Itsresources are so varied, its possibilitiessu great, that its future transcends thepossibility of our human conception."

The Glorious Climate was tlie subjectof the address delivered by Dr. NormanBridge, the next speaker "being Congress-man MoLacblan, wiiose subject was TheState of California and Its Relation lothe Federal Government. Mr. McLaugl)lin's addres. which was not delivered Inits entirety, because of tbe late hour, isgiven herewith In full owing to the val-uable views expressed.

Chamber of Commerce, and I'Vllow t'itizens:?l have been requested to respondto tbe sentiment: Southern Cnlifforniaand its Relations to the Federal Govern-ment.

"If I. could have selected ray own sub-jc tonight I think 1 would have chancedis slightly so as to make it read . TheState of California and Tts Relations tothe Federal Government. The recent visitof the Half Million club of San Francisc ?and the representatives of the press ofNorthern California to this section.dtrrteaour Fif-sta. and the unstinted praise anddeclarations of appreciation rhat theyheaped upon us and the enterprises of ourpeople upon their return north, whilethey have in no way teaselled our loveftnd affection for tuis msr"elous south-land, yet tiie good fellowship tlioyengen-dered, somehow broadened us all'and un-consciously united us in solemn compact,to stand together henceforth for the" up-buildingand advancement ot the whol 1state, knowinir no north, no south, i oeast, no west, hut the matchless, imlivisibis empire of the state of California.I'rior to that visit many of our norther,friends had not yet lorgott?n the tr ?

ditiuns of the post, had not yet censedrefer to tms section as tlie 'cow countiesof the South'?they still associated outsection with the jackrabbit and the sagebrush, but when they came to visit us?some of them for the tirst time in year.-,They were amazed, paralyzed, dplfghtciat the transformation they beheld onevery side. Instead of the little sleepyadobe pueblo or a few short years ago theyfound a live, hustling city of HO.UOO peo-ple: instead of tlie cow pastures, jackrab-bits and the sage bra su ihey found ourbeautiful valleys and foot-hills dotte.iwith thousands of happy homes, sur-rounded with orange, lemon and decidu-ous groves, and here and thero thriv-ing towns whicli hail Sprung up as if bymagic, and they returned home surprisingeven us with the generosity of thrupraises. Thus a new era has dawned upo'our history in whicli we have all join ahands to assist in attain ng that high position in the sisterhood of states to which

a manifest destiny has surely assigned us.\u25a0 "'And so 1 confess, Mr. Chairmau, thatI have been touched to such a degree witbthat help ul spirit of generosity and goodwill that they engendered toward everypan of our state, that 1 would hive pre-term! tonight to have spoken of the Siatuof California instead of Southern Califor-nia.

"lint what has brought about thischange? Why i.as Southern Californiatinally been awarded her just place in thebuilding up of this great commonwealth?Because the Almighty has given us v soilund climate unsurpassed by any and aresupi rior to that of the greater portion ofthe known world; because in these lateryears there have gathered here the wealth,culture, energy and pcr-erverance whicliunite 1 go to the building up of a greatempire: because this chamber of com-merce, with its membership of nearly loon?representing every commercial interestin our midst, and among whom are to befound the conservative men from Boston,

of Nebraska, and many member.* of thenext houso of representatives, have re-cently Ttilted this coast, ftßd they, too,htood amazed at our wonderful growthand advancement without any mateiialaid or assistance from tlie federal govern-ment. As t reviewed with them tbe mea-ger history of federal legislation withreference to .Southern California andfooted up all the appropriation which wehave received from that source, pointedout, as nest I could, the great advantagesof our geographical position?excellingin some respects that of any other pOfltion on the Pacific Coast?the vast andrich country, directly tributary to us,extending huudieds ot miles in the north,east and south; our railroad facilities,surpassing those of fany other point inCalifornia, with better grades and lessmiles to tho great interior cities and tbeAtlantic seaboard aud our nearer proxim-ity to the great nations of the orient.Without exception they promised theirco-operation and assistance in securing

the commercial men from New YorkCity, and the progressive, energetic busi-n(S< men from Chicago?has fostered andencouraged every legitimate enterprise inour midst: hecauso you have encouragedour people to ut once go to work forthemselves and not rely upon outside as-sistance; because you have encouragedevery man in our midst to make twoblades of grass grow where but one grewbefore; because you havo not been afraidto declare that every man who engages ina legitimate business hero and employeslabor at fair wages is a public benefactor,though perchance ne has succeededin accumulating wealth to himself,for you have declared the funda-mental principle?that his successunder such conditions redounds to thebenetit of the whole community, becausewe have not been afraid to proclaim and

that which we so justly deserve in tlienext congress.

"When I consider tlie full scope andsignificance of the stibejcfc assigned to metonight and the far-reaching importanceof favorable legislation for Southern Cali-fornia and the difficulties of such legisla-tion in the pa.st. Iam led to pause at thethreshold of my term of otlice and askall our people, irrespective of politics,and especially this chamber of commerce,to give the assistance and support so essen-tial to the success of your representativein congress in his efforts to obtain thebest results for his constituents.

Congressman Barham's Speech.Hon. John A. Barham, member of con-

gress from Santa Roea, was the nextspeaker, his subject being The State ofCalifornia. Mr. Barham spoke us fol-lows :

"It is well that you have i iven me to-night the subject Tho State of California,for tho reason that California alwaysspeaks for herself. I am nut v nativeson, hut I got here as quick as 1 could.(Applause.) 1 arrived in the state of Cali-fornia in 1819. I remembei well the earlydays of California, and the struggles oftbe pioneers of this state. I lind thegreat difficulty that surrounds nationallegislation wfth regard io the state olCalifornia conies from the fact that ourmembers of the southland cast anil northdo not understand us. They don't be-lieve we tell tlie truth. ( Laughter.) Notlong ago I was traveling on the NorthernPacilic railroad irom Yellowstone Parkto Portland. Four young men were onthe train who said they W2ro coming tothe stato ot California. Unfortunatelyfor me 1 said. 'You must see our bigtrees.' You understand, my fellow citi-zens, that Ilive in the far north. I rep-resent the First district of California,which borders upon Oregon and Nevada.They said, 'We have intended to vifclt tiiebig trees.' Unfortunately I said again,'We have a church in Santa liosa. myhome, built out of ono redwood tree'They looked at me in perfect astonish-ment, wondering that 1 still lived aftermaking such a statement. One of themwas an attist, and after we had gone ashort distance I got out upon tlie plat-form. He approacbod and took a snapshot at me, saying, 'I have got you.''Well,' I said, 'whut of it?' He replied,'1 have got tho boss liar of tho world.'(Laughter.)

"Now my friends California' needssome things. She needs appropriationsfor her rivers and harbors, (Applause.)1 came from tho far north to see your

rivers and your harbors, and to conferwith your representative*. We want aidup north. Wo have only about eighthundred miles of coast line to attend to.The miner in tbe Siena Nevadas needsappropriations and relief. Those untoldmillions of gold which lie hidden iv thehills should be released, and he shouldhave appropriations that he may take outthe gold without injury to tho farmer, orthe navigable streams of this state. 1might just as well get down to businesswith you, as I came here to confer withthe people of this section as to what theywant from congress. t havo been toldthat a distinct issue was mnde as towhere your appropriations should hespent in this county. I understand thatyour people and your representatives favorone location. I understand that thegoverment officials have reported in favorof that location. And 1 say to you now.if it is agreeable to you peoplo, and Iunderstand itto bo so, that my vote incongress will bo for an appropriation forSan I'edro hatbor. (Loud applause andcheers.) Now, as I aaid, wo need appro-priations in the northern section OI thisstate, and I hopo that when your repre-sentatives como to vote in congress theywill see that our needs are supplied. Weshould go back thero united upon thissubject of appropriations. (Applause.)I didn't como down hero to make aspeech, but to look after the question ofyour harbors. I camo by tho ocean andI sailed into San Pedro, "landing there to-day for tho first time. I have heretoforeexamined other points in your county andother portions of our coast, and I expectto make a thorough investigation intothis matter before returning to my home. "(Applause.)

Dr. Bridge's Speech

"The next speakers willrespond to thetoast The Glorious Climate,'' said Mr.Sluuson on introducing Dr. NormanBridge of Chicago. "Dr. Biidge is oneof the best friends that Southern Califor-nia ever had. Ho with some thirty othersof the moot prominent physicians of Chi-cago are in partnership to send to us all oftneir most weathy patients, for our ben-efit and for the benefit of the city ofChicago."

Dr. Bridge's address was a dissertationtilled with scientific data and sprinkledpromiscusously with humorous allusions.The speaker contended that the dwellinghouses in this locality should be betterbuilt, and th 3 fogs should be removed.Ho was generously applauded throughout.

The speaker hoped to see at once

I a real l.os Angoies harbor, which subjectwas deemed or more importune© to thojpeople of tliis section than tlft tariff, tho{coinage quesion or even the election of aIpresident. Professor Keyes eulogised theiAmerican press, especially Ihe papers ofIthis vicinity, ami no city ever prospered)whioh contained a trammeled press.

The speaker also referred to thu build-! ing of tlie Nicaragua canal us a public,iwork of inestimable value to this portion-| la" section, 'ijiic.-c elements, witli more. railroads, will within tho next ten yearsi

Superintendent Aiken consideratelypostponed tho timo of tho departure ofthe last cars of the Los Angeles Consoli-dated Electric road to the end of the ban-quet.

Congressman McLachlan, who was tohave responded to the toast, SouthernCalifornia and Its Relations to the Gen-eral Government, became indisposed al-most as soon as he had gotten well into

jhis subject.The most interesting incident in tho

proceedings of the night was when Con-gressman Barham declared himself un-equivocally in favor of San Pedro as tiieharbor for Southern California. Thecheers and upphtuso were simply deafen-ing and lasted several minutes. Menshouted, yelled and stamped thoir feetuntil they wero tired. It was the greatfeature of tho banquet.

Mr. Graff's address, the sentiment TheChamber of Commerce, was drunk stand-ing. Then there were three cheers forSuperintendent Wiggins and SecretaryWillurd of the chamber, and tbo banquetwas at an end.

A True Work of ArtThe menu cards were in every sense of

tho term a true work of art. The designwas by E. Waehtcl, well known in thelocal art world, the tirst page cover re-presenting the banquet tables at th6bot-tom, With waves of grain, fruits andflowers surrounding the banquet board.The inside page had for its top centerpiece well known business blocks. In theleft hand corner was a miniature map ofthe two American continents. Under thisappeared a soup tureen label*1 "Soun;Citrus Fail Guarantee Fund," directlybeneath being an imaginary air line ofrailroad from Los Angeles to St. Louis,direct, with spurs to Glendule and Pasa-dena, San i'edro being the ocean terminusof the system. The next miniatureshowed a section of track bearing thelegend "Sunset Itoiite." under this was aseparate picture showing the beach aCatalina [aland. In the light hand cornerothe card was the "loon" of the SouthernPacific's San FranoiSCO route. Port LosAngeles and tho long wharf stood out inbold relief just above, a car of the newI'asadena electric line being undorneath.Chicago was represented distantly and sodim as to be in tho picture beyond recog-nition. Helow this was the La Grandestation With tho kite-shaped track of theSanta Fe to the right. The boom of 1887hung suspended in mid-air m a balloonjustabove the steamer Falcon of tho Wil-mington Transportation company. Or-anges boxed and In orchard completedthe right lnuid sido of tlie card. To theleft of the right bund corner in the insidepage of tho monu was the Salt Lake undLos Angeles railroad, both cities beingshown to be connected by interroga-tion points in assorted sizes. Above thiswas the latest improved printing press inoperation. There were also pictures ofall sorts of semi-tropical fruits and foli-age, manufacturing buildings, typical LosAngeles residences, und un illustration ofthe Chamber of Commerce fioat whichwas such a striking purt of the parades ofLa Fiesta. The menu card also showed vtiny volume labeled "Los Angeles Di-rectory, 1880." lying beside a volumemore than live times its sizo. bearing theimprint, "Lns Angele3 City Directory,lew." Upon the rear cov;r of the cardwero typical scenes of the Chamber ofCommerce halls, assembly rooms andgullerios.
