Daily Los Angeles herald., 1884-01-05

An Eastern man, now IN san Francis
co, writes to one Of our daily contempo-
rarics that the era Of wheat will come to
an end like those Of gold, of hides and
tallow. and of Indian hunting for furs of
wild beasts. "In the near future we
can see in its stead land of fruit trees
and vines, q new France in our republic,
greater than France, republic by itself.
| There is scarcely any difference in acre
age. California has lS9, 900 square miles,
and France less than 200,0 900. IN eli
mate and soil California Is superior. It
could support 10000, 900 Frenchmen, il
we had them here with their economical
habits, as well as it now supports 900,
600 extravagant soi-disant Americans. :"
