Santa Barbara. California.

A pamphlet of about 35 pages, entitled, "A Business Mans Estimate of Santa Bar bara County, California; Its, Climate Soils and Products" has recently been written and published by Joseph J. Perkins, of Santa Barbara. This pamphlet is intended for the large number of eastern people who, desir- ous of knowing something of Southern Cali fornia, and particularly of the great county of Santa Barbara, are constantly sending floods of letters to the people of that region, soliciting the information desired. The average Santa Barbaran has not always the leisure, nor can it be expected that he shall always have the inclination, to respond fully to the inquiries thus addressed to him. The avowed aim of the pamphlet in question is to give full and accurate information on the subjects named in it's title, and thus to super sede the present practice of burdensome correspondence. The work is written with clearness, and apparently with candor and determination and we think it will be sought and welcomed by those in quest of in- formation on the subject of which it treats Address the author, Santa Barbara, Cal :, and incloss twenty-five cents.
