HE WILL FIND NEW CONDITIONS.

New demands upon his energy, and calling
for all his vigor, Notwithstanding the COM
forts of life are more abundant, and the
struggle with nature far less severe than at
the East Il has no reason TO expect to
get land for song that possesses capabih-
ties and advantages, that, if attaching to
lands at the East, would quadruple their
value. He must expect those already here
to be loyal to the claims they make for the
State, by declining to yacate improved
places in his favor at nominal cost. He
must not expect to find colony in every
section ready for his entry, or to find Gov
eminent land in every way desirable, wait
ing for him to claim it at the Governments
nominal price He must expect to find
that CalifOrnians have been forehanded,
and have not left diamonds lying in the
highway. He will find that there have
been exaggerated stories told OF many
things but that of much else not half the
truth has been related to him. There is
land, and in plenty, in California and as
good as there is on earth, and it is to be
had At reasonable prices, remarkably rea-
sonable figures when all the possibilities of
II are taken into consideration. More colo
MES are being formed big ranches are be-
ing divided up and sold for small farming;
there are railroad lands for sale, and ac-
ready to give reliable information regard
ing them, and who Will fairly and truth
fully represent the character and capacity
OF the lands Indeed, the stranger cannot
80 amiss unless he purpOsely chooses to do
so, for the people have established, as we
have said, immigration bureaus, where,
free Of cost or charge, all Information re-
garding lands can be obtained AbstraCtly
there is no land monopoly here, for the
disposition is now all toward the encour-
agement of the small farmer. The cost Of
living is no greater here than at the East,
and the ruling rates of money are not so
much higher as 10 make material differ
ence to the energetic investor.
IT WOULD BE INTERESTING
To dwell, for the information of the in
quiring stranger, upon manufacturing in
terests in CALIFORNIA; but only brief refer
ence can be made. Possibly q supplemental
paper on that topic may be presented,
Generally. however. it may be said that the
full round of ordinary manufacturing in
dustries Is prosecuted. Woodenware
manufacturing Is growing industry Of
great Importance, fOstered as it is by the
nnequalled supply of resinouS woods of
the coast. Boots, shoes and clothing are
extensively made, bus hat manufacturing
common, and the wooden mill product of
the State is of the highest character. Some
cotton has been grown, but no extensive
manufacture Of it attempted Tobacco has
been grown to some extent, but manu-
facture from that product has been very
small while manufacture from the i'm
ported stock is a very large industry. Iron
working on a large scale IS of great import
ance in California, and the State is now
bidding for the building of iron ships for
Government purposes. The proof that We
can build such vessels here has been given
in a fine seagoing steamer constructed at
San Francisco. All manufactures of straw
are prosecuted, sugar refining engages large
capital, and beet sugar making is growing
in importance. The raising and packing Of
medicinal herbs is coming into prominence.
The manufacture of
AGRICULTURAL TOOLS
And the building of agricultural machinery
are largely engaged in, and extensive works
al Benicia are especially prominent. Pow
der is made of all kinds by number of
mills. Nails are largely manufactured.
