The Great Land Sale.
At the time of the organization of the
Northern California immigration effort in
this city in September last, the question
was asked, :" But will large land-hold-
ings be subdivided and offered for sale in
small lots?" Although not three months
have elapsed, several large tracts are
already being subdivided. The very first
of these is that about to be noticed. Of all
things in the world man should possess a
portion of Gods footstool. 1t gives one
something to live for, some sense OF re-
sponsibility, some idea of the possibilities
of the command, Conquer the soil"
Now of all times is the time to secure land.
With every month the value of all desra-
bic land enhances. On Saturday next a
great credit sale of lands by auction is to be
made, the locality at the lap of the richest
part of the State. On these lanus all the
cereals, the grape, all fruit trees, grow
without irrigation and in luxuriance The
lands are in the heart of Colusa county,
as choice valley land as there is on the
coast, are on the line of the Northern Kali
way and near the thriving town of VIII
lows. The soil grades from gravelly to
richest alIuvial. Its fertility is matter of
common notoriety. The water for domes
tic uses is taken from wells at from ten to
twenty feet in depth the rates of taxation
are low; the means of transportation I'M
surpassed. The county is prosperous, well
governed with the minimum of debt, and
its people are perhaps more than those of
any other interior county, well to do. The

two and three years credit, one-third cash
on delivery of deed, with 10 per cent. on
fall of hammer balance at u per cent, and
