One of the main reasons, perhaps, for the great increage in the exports from Puget Sound is the fact that large quan- of unmanufactured cotton are shipped from that sectlon. .In 1903 over 49 a 480 pounds were shipped from Puset § and from Ban Francifco but 16,608,471 pounds.

There is mucbh about it which can | nowhere be equaled. It has been sul generis | along lines determined by | tsclated location, the distinctiye result of our | own natural resources. Sbul off from - the great markets of the country by trans- continental distances, largely dependent upon ourselves for supplies, paying higher wages than are paid anywhere else! handicapped by the excessive cost of fuel until the past year or two, habdicapped aiso by a lack of many important raw materials, we have pushed steadily forward until we have made ourselves more nearly self-sustaining, more completely independent of other people, than any country in the world. Nature has done much for us, but we have done quite as much for ourselves. With an invested capital of $206,395,025, we produced in the year 1900 a manufactured product of the value of $302,874,761. Hut, tifying as this may be, there are much hter prospects for the devel of our menufsctures in the future. As I said before, we have been .handicapped in the past by the excessive cost of fuel, but with the discovery. | of fuel oll and the remarkable long distance transmission of electrical emergy, we bid far, | before long, to take first rank as a manu- | facturing Siate. When 1 say'to you to-night | that three and a half barrels of fuel oil are equivalent to a ton of the best Welch anthra- coal, you can readily understand, taking to consideration the present market valus of this ofl, what this means from a manu- facturing standpoint. During the year 1902, according to bulletin No. 9 of the Department of Commerce and Labor, we produced in the State of California 13,984,268 barrels of oll, containing forty-two gallons to the barrel. But, owing to the discovery of new flelds and the sinking of many new wells, the output for the year 1904 will more than double that of 1002, thus placing us ahead of Indlana and making us ihe fourth State in the production | of petroleum. | VARTED PRODUCTS. . We stand first in the manufacture of beet | sugar and, oW to Our nearness to the Hewalian Jslands and their supply of raw ma- terial, we have pushed ourselves to the fifth rank in cane sugar refining. We produced In the State of California in 1900 lumber and | timber of the value of $13,764,647, and of this ; amount the sixty-six mills of Humboldt and Mendocino counties produced redwood lumber and shingles of the value of $4,865,536.

Following these ceremonies there were responses to toasts. United States | Senator George C.

Congress- | man Needham spoke to the toast of | “Central California.” He also highly | complimented the services of Mr. Met- calf when he was a Representative on the floor of Congress. The final re- sponse was made by Fairfax H. Whee- lan to the toast “Commerce and Labor.” In this part of the exercises Toast- master Newhall proposed that the health of President Roosevelt, who appointed Secretary Metcalf, should be drunk standing. The greetings were concluded by three cheers for the Sec- retary of the Department of Commerce and Labor. The event was entirely successful from beginning to end.
