LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE [We would be much pleased to insert every week communications regarding subjects which are of general interest to our readers. Personal communications will be invariably rejected. THE SANTA ANA VALLEY Woolen Mills and Cotton Factories—(to be). BY J. M. GUINN. "The history of California," says a recent writer, "may be divided into two periods: 1st. That of gold and experiment; 2d. That of grain and growth." He might have added that we have now reached the beginning of a third period—the era of manufactories and prosperity. All over the State there is a general awakening to the necessity and importance of building up manufacturing enterprises. Until the opening of the Pacific Railroad, California was comparatively isolated from the rest of the world. Measuring ourselves by ourselves, we had arrived at the conclusion that a genuine Californian was the personification of shrewdness, smartness intelligence and enterprise. With the opening of the railroad and the consequent influx and egress, came the opportunity to compare ourselves with the people beyond our limits. We lost not a little in the comparison. Indeed, we have had a fraction of our superabundant self conceit eliminated by the contrast. The shrewd, keen business man of Chicago, with his motto of "small profits and quick sales," took the trade of our Territories from us, and, on the line of the railroad in our own State, supplied the country customer of the San Francisco merchant with his stock of goods—even hawked his wares in the streets of our chief metropolis. The shrewd old Californian, "the smartest people on the footstool," with his water, they obtain a fall-of sixty-two feet. This, on a turbine water-wheel, they calculate will give sufficient power to propel eight looms, with an average capacity of forty yards each, per day, and afford besides, power to run the necessary picking, carding and spinning machinery, to supply the looms with yarn. The volume of water in the Santa Ana river, at the point (the bed-rock crossing) where it is contemplated to begin the ditch or canal, is at its lowest stages, after deducting for the quantity taken out by the farmers on the eastern side, about two hundred thousand cubic inches. By constructing a ditch with an incline of six feet to the mile and seven miles in length, a fall of seventy feet could be obtained—measuring from the present water level at the crossing. The construction of a dam across the river would heighten this fall, and it could be further increased by deepening the millrace for the escape of the water. Allowing two hundred inches, with a fall of sixty-two feet, to give sufficient power to propel eight looms of forty yards capacity each, then two hundred thousand inches, with a fall of eighty to ninety feet, would afford power to propel at least fifteen hundred looms of the same capacity, with their attendant picking, carding and spinning machinery. These would afford employment, directly to four thousand operatives, and indirectly, to as many more. Their yearly consumption of wool would be between four and five millions of pounds, or about the amount now produced by the counties of Los Angeles and Santa Barbara. These looms would turn off about sixty thousand yards or thirty-five miles of cloth daily. The value of these manufactured fabrics would amount to, at a rough estimate, five millions of dollars annually. As to a market for our goods, we have all of the Pacific States and Territories, and upon the completion of the Texas-Pacific railroad and its branches, New Mexico, P.

Indeed, we have had a fraction of our superabundant self conceit eliminated by the contrast. The shrewd, keen business man of Chicago, with his motto of "small profits and quick sales," took the trade of our Territories from us, and, on the line of the railroad in our own State, supplied the country customer of the San Francisco merchant with his stock of goods—even hawked his wares in the streets of our chief metropolis. The shrewd old Californian, "the smartest people on the footstool," with his antiquated style of business, found himself outwitted and undersold by the really shrewd Chicagoan. Beaten, but as conceived and as obtuse as ever, the shrewd old California sat himself down to grumble over hard times and to retail his threadbare stories of the good old days "in the fall of '49 and spring of '50." But grumbling don't pay, and at last, these Californian Bip-Van-Winkles have awakened from their long nap, and are just beginning to get it through their drowsy brains, that this isn't the "fall of '49 or spring of '50;" that the times have changed, and that the ways and means of doing business have changed with them; that something must be done, and that soon, or they are "dead sure" to go to the "demnition bow-wows." Whether they will profit by the hard lessons they have been learning for the past four years, remains to be seen. But to those of us who are ready and willing to profit by them, it is evident that the course we have been pursuing in the past is radically wrong. It is evident to us that two or three branches of industry, pursued to the exclusion of all others, cannot build up and assure a permanent prosperity to a great State like ours. It is evident, too, that to continue to buy every implement of industry, and every article of wear, ready-made in the Eastern markets, is impoverishing our State, checking the development of her natural resources and keeping out population. It becomes then, a vital necessity to us to divide our labor to utilize our natural advantages, and to build up manufactories. Of the many branches of industry that we of Southern California, particularly ought to develop, there is none for which there is so urgent a need, and which promises so large returns for the outlay as the establishment of woolen factories. And, indeed, there is none considering our needs and facilities, that we have so much neglected. Producing as we do, two-thirds of the wool clip of the state, possessing the most ample facilities, if utilized, for building manufactures, consuming a large amount of woolen fabrics each year, with men of wealth and means at command long resident among us, yet with all these in our favor, it was left for two gentlemen of Illinois to inaugurate the pioneer wool- sumption of wool would be between four and five millions of pounds, or about one amount now produced by the counties of Los Angeles and Santa Barbara. These looms would turn off about sixty thousand yards or thirty-five miles of cloth daily. The value of these manufactured fabrics would amount to, at a rough estimate, five millions of dollars annually. As to a market for our goods, we have all of the Pacific States and Territories, and upon the completion of the Texas-Pacific railroad and its branches, New Mexico, Colorado, Arkansas, Texas, and the northern States of Mexico. Besides, we ought to supply the Pacific States of South America, Central America and Mexico. Geographically their trade belongs to us and it is our fault if we do not secure it. But we need not expend all of our motor power, and invest all of our capital in the manufacture of one class of goods. By combining the manufacture of cotton and silk fabrics with that of our woolen, we could greatly increase the varieties and enhance the value of our staple commodities. The products of a large manufacturing center gain a reputation and command a price in the marts of the world that cannot be obtained for the goods of small and isolated manufactories. With the nucleus of a great manufacturing center established in our valley, it is hard to tell the number and extent of the manufacturing industries that would cluster around it in a short time. Even if the capacity of our water power was employed to its full extent, we have inexhaustible coal beds in the mountains near at hand, by which we can multiply our motory power indefinitely. It is within the range of possibility for us, within ten years from the inauguration of the enterprises I have here outlined, to have in this valley a manufacturing city with a population of fifteen to twenty thousand. Such a thing has happened in bleak and sterile New England; why is it impossible in fertile and salubrious California, Lawrence, Mass., within seven years from the time the first house was built in it, had a population of fifteen thousand inhabitants.
