that an unusual number Of my former ac-

Mexican families were noted for their
longevity, and perhaps the American child
rem born there may develops constitution
in harmony with the climate, for in appear
ance they are wonderfully fresh and heal

more than climate, in all parts of our cOun-
try. To me, the climate of the San Jose

Superiority of the Northern
Counties

1t is notable that the northern interior is
less liable to drouth than the southern coun-
ties, being nearer to the Oregon zone of
moisture aud the point where the two great
mountain ranges. with their rain attracting
forests come together. While the climate is
moister, the land is higher, and escapes the
floods which are sometimes so destructive in
the lower parts Of the, valley The plain
rises gently toward the north, and finally
becomes rolling gravelly upland. which
swells into the foothills of the Trinity ard
Siskiyou mountains
As the railroad advances into this great
region, equal in extent TO all New England
the results that have hitherto marked in
progress will be repeated. But. in antici-
patton of them, it is to be hoped that the
large land holders in the northern counties
will evince a disposition to divide their enor-
nous possessions and sell small tracts at
fair prices to the new. corners, who will be
sure to want them. Years ago the Bulletin
urged this policy on the part of grant holders
in the southern counties, and it has been
sufficiently followed to set a stream of emf
grafton flowing in that direction, to the
great profit of both the Ssate and land own
ers. In Butte, Colusa, Tehama and Shasta
counties there are grants many leagues in
extent, which have so far been held unbrok
en,i and to great exteat uncultivated. If
all the grantowners would do like John
Bidwell-improve their property, put in
crops, organize extensive industries upon it,
and contribute to the building of roads and
