counties with far greater resources, an IN
comparable climate, a greater supply OF
timber for fencing and building, rainfall

with far better means of transportation, re-

SOME STRIKING RESULTS.
The wonderful growth in the southern
counties is more fully illustrated by the fol-
lowing figures relating to Los Angeles
county In 1878 there were in that county
$3.50 acres of vines; in 1888 there were
10000 acres. The wine product had in
creased in the same years from 1880
gallons to 100000 gallons; the brandy
product from SO, 600 gallons to 10000 gal
! Ions; orange trees from 103, 800 to 526, 900
| the production of barley from $50, 600 bush
els to 100000 bushels; and wheat from
| z, 900 bushels to 100000 bushels. In 1881
the green fruit shipped from southern Cali
fornia was Ill, 100 pounds; III 1883 1t was
| 5,91S, 500 pounds. The city of Los Angeles
increased in population from l 1000 in 1880
to 80, 600 in 1884. In two years time fifteen

colleges to the value of $4,000; factories
aggregating in cost S225, 900; 100 stores at a
cost of.S1 800 900, and 1000 residences ag-
gregating So, SOC, 900, were all built IN that
city 1t would seem that it is impossible
to add to the above as
Lesson FOR THE NORTHERN COUNTIES
| OF the State Colusa county has 1872, 900
acres of land OF this, in 1884, by the As
| H., IN
under the pillow, leaving .23S,0 acres yet
untitled. Tehama county has 1000, 900
acres of land. OF this there are $50, $50
acres TILED, leaving 1,719,750 acres of I'M
titled land. Yuba county has $4,000 acres
of land, only 200 acres of which are I'M
der the plow. Out of $500, 900 acres Shasta
has only $1,000 acres under tillage The
whole of these northern counties
will show like amounts of untitled
lands. There is room in northern Califor-
MIA for several hundred thousand addi-
tional farmers, and there is no country in
the world that presents greater possibilities
for them. There are great numbers of peo-
pie in every county, State, and Territory
east of the Rocky Mountains, who are
anxious to find a country where they can
build homes, beyond the reach of ice
snow, Billiards and cyclones All that is
req uffeu 10 DTlllg tneSe people 10 the north
ern part of the State is to let them know
| the exact truth about its resources This
will require advertising. The cost will not
| exceed $4,000 per year.
NOW Is THE GOLDEN TINE.
The great transcontinental companies
are anxious to assist in the work. Several
| excursion companies stand ready to gather
| the immigrants together, and bring them
| here by the train load. An issue of a
$4,000 edition pamphlet, and its distlibu-
ton III the East, would start the tide OF
immigration in this direction. and three
years would see the same marvellous devcl-
| epmentS, from Sacramento to the Oregon
| line, that have enriched the southern coun-
| ties. The same great results are attainable
! here. The Northern California Immigra-
| ton Association, composed of the best men
i'll the northern part of the State, has a full
and complete description of this region
nearly ready for the press. What is re-
| quired to print and issue it is that the diff
| ferent counties composing that organization
shall raise the sum Of 500, each, asked for
| by the Executive Committee This is q
sum so paltry and insignificant in compar-
ison to the results to be attained in return
| that it does not seem possible that there
can be any hesitation. We appeal to the
business community of the northern part
of the State to fully organize at once and
| carry on this greatWork.
