8 TWO WONDERFUL STATES. Each One Is a Vast Empire In Itself. j California is -indeed a wouderful State. iNext to Texas it is the largest, not only of the Trans-Mississippi re gion, but of all those represented on Uncle Saui's flajr in the galaxy of stars. It is aa far from the northern bounda ry of California to the southern as it is from Madrid to Brussels, and the coast line of the State, without any considerable indentations, 850 miles long, a distance almost equal to the combined coast line of Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Khode Is. land, New Jersey and Connecticut. In the north, California's climate is temperate; in the south it is almost tropical, and there are regions par ticularly that of famous Death Val ley," where the heat is constantly as intense, probably as anywhere on the globe. The wonderful range of temperate, combined with, a truly marvelous fer tility of soil and abundance of water for irrigation, where the rainfall is slight, enabies Californians to grow all the products of the temperate and semi-tropic climates. Everyone knows California as the "Golden State," but her production of cereals is one of the most important elements ;n her pros perity, and this will be better under stood when it is stated that Califor nia's annual output of wheat is more than 30,500,000 bushels; of barley, more than 17, 500, 000; of con more than 5,000,000; of oats, almost - 2,5000,000, and of rye, nearly 2,5000,000. California is famous as a fruit-growing State, and yet few people under stand how large is the area devoted to oranges, apricots, lemons, olives and other semi-tropic fruits and nuts, the total being more than 78,500,000 acres. . j Although her wines are famous her vineyards do not cover nearly so large jin area, the total being about 200,000 acres. Texas, the largest, is also a wonder ful State. Its area "is 225.780 square miles of land and 3,480 square miles o.f water; and if its surface were to be scooped out so as to make an enor mous reservoir, and it were filled with water, the Kefmblic of France could float about in. the pond very comforta bly, for the total area of France is 00,000 squaremiles less than that of j Texas. This is now a new comparison, but it may be sufficiently striking to ex cuse its borrowed phase here. The population of Texas is almost twice as large as that of California, although its area is not more than one-third larger. The State has an extreme breadth of 825 miles, considerably in excess of the length of California, but its coast line is only -400 miles. The products of Texas are enormous, but not nparly so diversified as those of California. Texas leads in the cat tle industry, and is near the top in the production of cotton. Corn and wheat grow well there, too, and peaches, grapes and apples, though it is unusual for tluse things to flourish in sections where the semi tropical crops of sugar and cotton are grown to advantage. Louisville Times. A Resolution of Recognition. Senator Sigmon, of Catawba, yester day introduced into the Senate a reso lution, the spirit of which ought to hi spire the State to some aggressive ac tion along the line suggested. The resolution embodies a general state ment of facts ' vith which our home people are acquainted; but it is a pre sentation of facts which ought to be made known all over the country. It may be that some North Carolinians know what a good thing they have in the climate, soil and society of Xorth Carolina, and are selfish enough to want to keep all of these advantages for theihselves; but this is too contract ed a policy for a people that may be desirous of enjoying the greatest possi bilities of the resources which surround them. , The adoption of Mr. Sigmon's reso lution would put the- representatives of the State on record as officially re cognizing its great general advantages over other States and localities. This recognition should exist, and then there should be some State policy and provision looking to the development and use of the advantages existing. The resolution refers to the great in ducements offered for immigration and investment of capital; the climate,-fer-tility, range of production, mineral re sources, woods and timbers, vrater supply and water powers, health, so cial status, etc., and closes with an in vitation to investors and home-seekers to visit North Carolina, with an assur ance that they will be cordially wel comed, and that our laws will give them full protection in the eujoyment of life, liberty and the pun-uit of happiness.- Caucasian 18th. rir nflni 9 l in ,n ki s Lf 1.
