Editorial 



THE second Counties Number of FOR CALIFORNIA is a continuation 

 of the series began last month, by which it is intended to give a 

 complete resume of conditions and advantages in California, through 

 articles on the various counties, written by experts well acquainted 

 with their especial localities. In the present number nine more coun- 

 ties are shown. Ail the counties in the State have been invited to par- 

 ticipate in this series. 



The city and county of San Francisco puts forth its advantages through 

 an article by Clarence E. Edwords, Chief of Publicity of The California 

 Promotion Committee. What the city and county has to offer is told 

 in concise and specific form. 



Sacramento's claims to notice are ably set forth in an article by 

 Lieutenant-Governor Alden Anderson, President of the Sacramento Cham- 

 ber of Commerce. He tells of the great future which must necessarily 

 come to the capital of the Commonwealth. 



James A. Jasper, Secretary of the San Diego Chamber of Commerce, 

 tells what San Diego County has, and he makes a splendid showing for 

 the county that lies on the border-line of Old Mexico. The advantages 

 offered are such as appeal to the capitalist and homeseeker. 



Alameda County makes a strong bid for both manufacturer and home- 

 seeker. The advantages offered are numerous and convincing, and are 

 told of modestly by Wilber Walker, Secretary of Oakland's Merchants' 

 Exchange. His arguments are clear and convincing. 



Riverside County is one of the counties to which Californians point 

 with pride, and Edward W. Holmes has written an article which tells why 

 this is so. The advantages of the county are most entertainingly set forth 

 and the invitation is an alluring one. 



J. A. Willson scarcely refrains from poetry in his description of what 

 Orange County holds out to the prospective settler. The advantages of 

 that county are truly wonderful, and they are told of in a manner that 

 will cause many an eye to turn in that direction. 



Shasta County has much more than scenery to interest the traveler, 

 and F. F. Dustin has a strong article telling just what there is there to make 

 the homeseeker want to transfer his belongings to the land under the 

 shadow of the mighty mountain. 



Tehama County is one of fine promise, and has a great future when 

 it shall have been developed as it deserves. A. J. Hammans tells what the 

 county has to induce homeseekers and investors, and his statements are 

 most convincing. 



John H. Hartog, who is Secretary of the Colusa County Chamber of 

 Commerce, tells what that wonderful county has in the way of advantages 

 to the settler and capitalist. He shows clearly that Colusa County is one 

 of the great counties of the State. 



Taken as a whole, the present number of FOR CALIFORNIA ranks 

 high as an epitome of information on California industries, and all who 

 have inquiring friends throughout the world should secure copies to send 

 out in answer to the many questions that are constantly coming from those 

 who are interested and who desire a change to a more congenial clime.
