absence of coal and the great distance from any 

 of the large coal fields for a long time retarded 

 factory growth. The mountain streams fur- 

 nished water power, though this was not every- 

 where available, but with the discovery of the 

 rich oil fields manufacturing entered on a 

 period of development. Chief of the indus- 

 tries are the cutting of timber and the making 

 of lumber products, in which California ranks 

 sixth among the states. Almost half of the 

 lumber output is California redwood, and be- 

 cause this is particularly well adapted to the 

 making of shingles this has become a branch 

 industry of considerable size. In all, the lum- 

 ber and timber products for a single year are 

 valued at about $45,000,000. 

 Other industries, in the order of their ap- 



proximate value, are meat packing, centered 

 chiefly at San Francisco and Los Angeles; the 

 canning of fruits and vegetables, peaches and 

 asparagus ranking first in value ; the making of 

 flour, and the printing and publishing indus- 

 tries. San Francisco has one of the largest iron 

 works in America. California leads all the 

 states in the making of vinous liquors and of 

 olive oil, but these industries cannot rank 

 in the value of their products with those listed 

 above. Sugar refining is becoming increasingly 

 important, the total output of beet sugar being 

 about 317,500,000 pounds a year. 



Commerce and Transportation. San Fran- 

 cisco has one of the finest harbors in the world, 

 and within its great bay of about 450 square 

 miles are to be found ships from all countries
