Dear Sir-Your letter OF the 7th 10
slant reached me 10 due season. As
matter OF right | do not believe
that the Northern Pacific Railroad
Company is entitled to patent for a
single acre in any portion of Wash.
ington Territory. They have forfeit.
ed any right they ever had TO any of
the public lands 10 Washington Fer.
ritory by their noncompliance with
the provisions Of the grant Just
what action Congress may take rels-
tive TO the unearned lands of the
Northern Pacific Railroad Company
is OF course . matter OF conjecture.
l have prepared ana shall intro
duee, NJ the very first opportunity. 4
bill providing for the forfeiture of
every acre If the Northern Pacific
land grant along that portion OF the
road which Was not construct d prior
to the 4th day of July. 1877. This
bill ! believe to be based upon the
Law, and | SHALL make every possible
exertton to secure its favorable coa.
sideratiun.
Il IL very difficult for me to advise
you IS 10 what course 10 pursue upon
the mesger details of your letter. As
to = matter of detail I would advise
you to consult some lawyer, who Is
competcnt to advise you, and be gov.
erned by his suggestions. | will,
however. say TO you that | myself
would not. nader any circumstances.
pay the Nor,heru Pacific hai road
Company dollar for an acre Of land
10 Washington Territory. for the rea
san that do not believe that. al this
time, they could give me even the
semhlanca of title With great re
spect, ! am, truly yours,

ADVERTISING THE STATE.

Numerous excursion parties are now
coming into California from the East coun
try, and the fact has caused the San Jose
Mercury to call attention to the advisable
ity of steps being taken with view of
inviting these visitors to go to those parts
OF the Santa Clara valley that are fairly
representative of the productive capacity
of that section. Thus far, it alleges. moth
ing has been done by the people of that
region to invite attention to the fertile
spot. The same suggestion will apply to
all sections. 1t costs very little to reach
these people while en- route, by circular
letter giving them authoritative informa-
ton concerning those portions of the State
where the productiveness of the coast is
best exemplifed We assume that the
immigration societies have done a good
deal OF this kind of work already, but there
Is room for more of it. The class of people
making winter excursions to the coast is
OF the very best. 1t is an inquiring class
class that seeks information, and needs
1t, and it is the duty of this people to see
that the demand is met.

Citrus Frn;ts in shasta Count,

EDS. REcORD-UNIoN | listened to the
remarks of the several speakers at the
citrus fair on the evening Of the 18th with
much pleasure; but was surprised that not
one referred to the productions, extent OF
advantages of Shasta county, although
there is on exhibition here from Shasta
county oranges, almonds, walnuts, peanuts
apples, raisins, beautiful flowers grown in
the open air, gold and tellurium and pre-
served peaches. The extent of Shasta
county is 100000 acres, and its mean tenn
perature is much warmer than counties
farther south. Citrus fruits have been
grown within its boundaries for the past
five years. 1t is truly the home of the grape.
There are thousands of acres of the same
kind of land upon which these productions
were grown that can be had by settling
upon or purchase from 81 30 to $40 per
acre. Four years ago, when the oranges
froze on the trees at Riverside, and there
was scarcely lemon or lime tree not
frozen to the ground throughout Los An
geles and San Bernardino counties, there
was no greater damage done to the same
kind of trees in Shasta county, if as much.
The county is well supplied with schools
and churches. The California and Oregon
Railroad is built sixty miles within its
boundaries, and will be extended through
to the Siskiyou and Oregon line The
capabilities of the soil and climate is es-
tablished beyond question. The need is
now more settlers willing to labor, with
intelligence and practical economy and
Shasta county in few years will be one
OF the most desirable counties in the State
for homes. Respectfully,
C. G. Rrsu
