Chenn Lnnl I'm California

A correspondent says: There has been
much we~ll-grounded complaint on the sub
iect OF the buying up Of the greater portion
the most desirable government lands in the
great valleys Of our State by spectators,
who hold them at largely advanced figures,
and thereby retard the settlement of the
country very materially. The evil Is I'M
q~uestionably, but II will in some measure
work It's own cure. Tho counties in which
theseland are located, vii as rule, adopt
the system OF taxing them TO II full extent
allowed by law, rating their value at the
the asking price. This will make IL too ex-
pensive for the spectators to hold such
large bodies Of land for any | Myth of time,
and sales will be forced as fast as possible.
The want Of the interior counties Of the
State is a population which would enable
them TO raise sufficient taxes 10 meet the
interest on their own debts and carry on
the machinery of government. A heavy
tax, levied on unimproyed lands held for
speculative purposes by non-residents, will
serve q double purpose realizing an imme-
diate income, and compelling sales which
will ensure future prosperity. This point
is well understood, and / think that it will
have due weight with tho interior county
officers.
But the immigrant need not wait for q
change in this respect. There are millions
upon millions Of acres Of unoccupied lands
in California which can be had for prices
so low as to leave nothing TO complain of.
From the Oregon line TO San Diego, there
stretches n wide belt of country along the
western slope of the Sierra Nevada, which
is peculiarly adapted to the growth of all
the fruits of the temperate zones, and the
semi-tropical. The vine thrives here bet
ter than anywhere else in the world, and
most kinds Of grain can be grown to adj
vantage for home consumption and in many
localities with profit for expectation. From
Sl.5O to 5000 per acre will buy vast
tracts and small improved farms
which will yield a good support for
n large family, can be had for 81, 900 to
SO, 900 each. The old "Forty Miners"
when they took up n rancho, did it with
the expectation Of making q fortune ont Of
itin q couple of years at most, and, if they
did not succeed, cursed the business out
and out al once. They still cling to the
ideas of 40, and are seldom, if ever, con-
tent with what your Eastern farmers would
call n good years work" This il why
such farms are cheap and nearly all for
sale. If a family will be content to make
n good living and have something over at
the end Of each year, they can easily do il
on such n farm, and wealth will surely
come in time; but our old population will
not wait, and unless q place will bring
them great and sudden wealth, they do not
consider 1t worth owning at any price. A
new class of farmers, and new and less ex-
%travagant ideas, must come in place Of all
this, before the country can be truly pros
perous.
