WOODLAND, YoIo Co., July 9TH.
EDIToB GAzErTE:-Ihs is the day of small boys
and fire crackers and should say this place had Its
full share tby the noise they are making. / have
only been heie o few days, but have been much
IMPRESSED with the 6n6 buildings, well laid out
streets, and in fact with the general beauty OF the
place. WoOdlawn is situated about % miles north
west from Sacramento city. II has population of
three thousand. and the country for miles is as
level rs Punahou plains | have travelled in the
last two years as far as Sacramento TO Los Angeles
and back but thank Inc Jaw prettier place The
only drawback is the heat but they say, that don't
last long, the thermometer has been running from
70 up TO no in the shade, SO If did feel little
homesick sometimes, and long for a puff of your
NE. trades, you won't wonder at H.
! went out the other day TO look at some land
about three miles west from here it consists of
over ZOO acres that is being cut up into T. 10, -
and 50 aCre-lots, the idea is TO encourage actual
sotters-a good idea and it ought TO be the rHls,
instead of the ctccptioH IN this State.
They ask $40 per acre, with trees standing, or
they will sell for $50 and take the trees them
selves the wood ! am satisfied will pay for the
land man sold ono tree the other day for $50,
the timber is large, say from two to three feet IN
diameter, and as u is the nearest wood 10 this
market it will always sell The timber is mostly
oak and no man viii cut 1t unless he wants money,
for the trees stand so far apart that person can
plant large pieces without the trees interfering.
There is n fine CROP of wheat growing on the land
now, in fact IL has been rented for farming pur
poses,
