ll great distances and the use of
turbines are important features of such plants. One on the North Yuba
river at Colgate, where there is a 700 ft. fall, serves Oakland, San
Jose and San Francisco, at high pressure yielding in San Francisco
(220 m. away) 75% of its power. Other plants are one at Electra (154
m. from San Francisco), and one on the San Joaquin, which delivers to
Fresno 62 m. distant.

[5] The 1905 census of manufactures deals only with establishments
under the factory system; its figures for 1905 and the figures for
1900 reduced to the same limits are as follows:--total value of
products, 1905, $367,218,494; 1900, $257,385,521, an increase of
42.7%; leading industries, with value of product in millions of
dollars--canning and preserving, first in 1905 with 23.8 millions,
third in 1900 with 13.4 millions; slaughtering and meat-packing,
second in 1905 with 21.79 millions, first in 1900 with 15.71
millions; flour and grist mill products, third in 1905 with 20.2
millions, fourth in 1900 with 13.04 millions; lumber and timber,
fourth in 1905 with 18.27 millions, second in 1900 with 13.71
millions; printing and publishing, fifth in 1905 with 17.4 millions,
sixth in 1900 with 9.6 millions; foundry and machine shop products,

[6] As months and even years often elapsed between the date when
early governors were appointed and the beginning of their actual
service, the date of commission is disregarded, and the date of
service given. Sometimes this is to be regarded as beginning at
Monterey, sometimes elsewhere in California, sometimes at Loreto in
Lower California. All the Spanish and Mexican governors were
appointed by the national government, except in the case of the
semi-revolutionary rulers of 1831-1832 and 1836 (Alvarado), whose
title rested on revolution, or on local choice under a national
statute regarding gubernatorial vacancies.

[7] Acting political chief, revolutionary title.

[8] Briefly recognized in South.

[9] Revolutionary title, 1836-1838.

[10] Appointed 1837, never recognized in the North.
