RICH TEHAMA.
A Magnificent Domain-Examples of
Tracts of Land to be Had.

Now that deserved attention is being
given by the incoming immigration to Cen
trail and northern California, the home
seeker should examine the claims of Te-
hama county. No other section offers
greater inducement for investment or surer
the navigable Sacramento river. Its county
seat, Red Bluff, is one of the largest, most
furnishing and substantial of interior
cities. The resources of the county are al
most unlimited; its soil of the best; its
rainfall certain and abundant; the produc-
tive capacity of its lands for all cereals,
fruits, vines and vegetables without irriga-
ton uneaualled; its climate warm, health
giving, and not surpassed for desirableness
upon the entire coast The section
produces the orange, lemon, olive, almond,
and all semi-tropical as well as deciduous
fruits abundantly, and, as to quality, equal
to the best. Its grape, grain and fruit lands,
in fact, are of the finest, most certain of
yield, and most prolific. The largest vine
yard in the world, that of Senator Leland
Stanford, is in Tehama county. The lum-
Der of the county is unsurpassed in quality
and variety. The great railway line from
Sacramento to Oregon gives the county
rare market advantages. There are fine
schools, and the society is thor
oughly good. 1t is great wool
growing and stock raising section.
The prices of its splendid lands, owing to
the broad area of the country, and the i'm
mense acreage of the great Sacramento
boom" standard. There is nothing of
initiation in them. Instead of buying in
the southern section at exorbitant and fan
| ciful figures. the home seeker can in this
| county procure land of richest, deepest
soil, topped by the best of warm and genial
| climates, where irrigation is not necessity
and all manner of earth produce grows
| luxuriantly, for from SIS to $50 per acre
The home-seeker in visiting the section
ought to have advice locally. H. S. De
Rochemont, proprietor of the chief local
real estate circular, and a widely known
and Observation-Disclosures real estate
agent, is reliable person with
nishes newcomers with information.
His location is at Red Bluff. In his Office
lands are listed for sale to the amount of
100000 acres or more. As simply lllustra-
tive of what we have said we refer to his
paper regarding representative tracts for
sale. For instance there are 757 acres of
river bottom, moist but well drained, only
three miles from Red Bluff, and offered for
$4,000, two-thirds cash. In 40-acre tracts
it will support twenty families and yield
handsome incomes. 1t grows all manner
of feed, grains, fruits and vegetables, and
has three good houses, with barns and out
buildings, etc. Another tract is fruit, grain
and stock land. of 1000 acres, $50 fenced,
100 cleared, and the balance wild, is Of
fered at from 81 to $40 per acre. 1t is well
watered, the wells needing to be sunk only
twenty to thirty feet. There is wood enough
on it to pay for it, selling to the railroad at
81 81 per cord, the cost of cutting and de-
livery being but 81 25 The land is on the
railroad, near to a station it has a
small house, good barn and small or
chard and vineyard. Another lot of !, 200
acres, two miles from Red Bluff, has 100
acres in three-year- old orchard and vine
yard; has 400 acres of rich bottom land,
and the rest fine red grazing and grain land.
For semi-tropical fruits it is rare piece, yet
it can be had on easy terms for $400 o0, or
in small tracts at from $15 to $3.50 an acre.
For colony it is unsurpassed. Another
one we note is 615 acres, one of the best
ranches in the county. 1t is river and
creek bottom, half mile from railroad
station, and on the navigable river 1t is
splendidly adapted to citrus and deciduous
fruits and to vines. On it is fine hollow
walled brick residence that cost $1,000, two
fine barns and other buildings. Yet $685.
600, half-cash, will buy it, though it has
5000 cords of oak wood ready for the ak,
that will alone pay for it.
