The San Francisco Call
BUILDING IS GOING ON STEADILY IN ALL PARTS OF THE CITY
BIG CAMPAIGN
OF PUBLICITY
IS CARRIED ON
Literature and Lecturers Draw
ing Farmers Here to Fill
Up Great Valleys
Colonization Agents Carry Cali
fornia's Name to Every
Nook and Corner
This state Is at present receiving the
broadest kind of advertising in all
parts of the cast and middle west, as
well as In Europe, through various
rnear.s. TChile the Panama-Pacific ex
position Is to bring San Francisco par
ticularly to the fore, the agricultural
. possibilities of California as set forth
by the various large colony companies
doing businesp also will do much to
bring people to this coast, who will
buy and sell through the local market.
Probably as extensive campaigns as
\u25a0 any colony companies have even hi-
Ktituted in some time are being waged
by concerns doing bu&iness in the Sac
ra-mento and San Joaquin valleys.
The Sacramento valley irrigation
corr.pauy Is printing and sending broad
cast some of the most attractive liter
ature that has ever been issued about
thla magic str.to. Their booklet. ''Cal
ifornia Now or Never," embellished
with man:* color plates, is valua-ble as
a souvenir as well as exceedingly in
teresting and instructive to home
se^kers.
The Madeline Meadows irrigation
company is doing a splendid work in
telling how the elevated dry valleys
of eastern California can be made pro
ductive and profitable. Some of the
lowest priced irrigation land in the
wept is located there and settlers .are
being attracted from the* interior,
.northwest and from the older irrigated
districts of Utah and Colorado.
Another of these companies, the Cres-
F<?y colony company, with offices in Palo
Alto. I.os Angeles and interior towns,
as well as San Francisco, is active.
During: (he last week the force of ex
perts sent throughout the east has
w-fn strengthened by the addition of
representatives to Nebraska and Mis
souri, while during the next week it
is stated by Secretary J.lanaton of the
Gressey company fhat the anticipated j
movement among the New Kngland
farmers may be instituted.
• The various companies operating in
th«> vicinity of Merced have been active
during the last week. Numerous sales
are reported all along the line from
Turlock to Merced. This country is
being taken up largely by farmers of
the locality, who realize the value of
the land for such staple crops as sweet
potatoes and alfalfa and Egyptian corn.
The special publicity work carried
on ir> the east and middle west by the
<"al:forr.:a development board is meet
ing- with hearty approval of all parties
Interested in the development of Cali
fornia.
There is no lack of interest shown ,
by the people there. Their letters of .
inquiry opens up a field of work to the ,
development board and each person is
.supplied literature on any section" that
may be referred to or that is. t especlally
* 'ilted to the kinds of crops mentioned.
This is hut one of several public*ty
enterprises that the board is now
maintaining:
L. ]£. Rankin has been detailed by
the board to do special work at tha
TTnit<=d States land and irrigation expo
piiior. In Chicago. The essential feature
of his work will consist of a series of
daily lectures on the state of ' Califo
rnia, beautifully illustrated by colored
Ffreopticon views.
This system has met with large suc
cess at similar expositions in various
rarts of the country. After each lec
ture the interested hearers can talk
personally with the lecturer and thus a
good connection is made.
In Chicago Robert Newton Lynch,
vice president and manager of the de
velopment board, is arranging for a
curpaign ot extensive advertising.
Each county of the state having a spe
i rial exhibit will be given special pub-
on certain days. Mr. Lynch has
V^en Invited to address merchants* or
ganizations, press clubs, boards and
chambers of commerce in many of the
eastern cities, and It is his intention
