SHORTRIDGE HE following paragraphs are ex-tracts froir. the annual publication ofthe San Francisco Press Club: No man in California is better knownthan Samuel M. Shortridge, charter mem-ber of the San Francisco Press Club. Shortridge was a good miner in Ne-vada County. He was a good school teacherin Napa County, when he was principal ofthe public school at St. Helena. He is agood lawyer, as the records of litigation inCalifornia for the past twenty-five yearsabundantly an orator he lias few peers. In politics he has always been a Republican ; no man in Cali-fornia has rendered his party greater service. If there is one thing more than another that distinguishes is his lovaltv to his California has a land area of 155,980 square miles and a jjopulationof only about 2,500,000. With a temperate climate in the northerncounties and almost tropical conditions in the south, she can boast ofa diversity of products not equaled in any other part of the earth. Sheexcels in dairying, cattle, and wheat growing, agriculture, horticultureand viticulture. One county produces more raisins than the whole ofSpain : one. more artichokes than the south of France; while yet an-other county produces more French prunes than the mother country,and the orange and lemon crop of California is greater than that ofEurope. Everything produced in the Torrid or Temperate zones isgrown—and grown to perfection-—in California. The products of allthe other States in the Cnion are duplicated here, together with manyothers, not grown elsewhere, but peculiar to the rich soil and kindlyclimate of California.
