Messrs. NEaslin and White Talking Cali
fornia in Minnesota.
The st. Paxl DAILY Globe of December
Goth has the following to say about the
agents of the Sacramento Valley Excursion
Company: "a large audience was present
at Garfield Hall last evening to hear the
lecture delivered by Messrs. Masin and
White on Central California. Mr.. Maslin
gave an Interesting talk on the ample re-
sources of that secuon, and illustrated rural
life in California with a number OF stereop-
ucon views. Much interest was shown.
and several of those present announced
their intention to attend the lecture to be
delivered by these gentlemen at Acker
Post Hall tomorrow evening On The same
subject"
Mr.. Masin said: THE tide OF immigra-
ton hitherto has tended to Southern Cali
fornia, and Central California has been
heretofore almost unknown. Nothing can
be said to detract frOm the merits of the
southern part of the State, but we claim
that in some respects the central part is
superior TO it.
10 place before the public the claims Of
Central California, and more particularly
that portion which embraces Sacramento.
Placer, and FL Dorado counties, is the pur-
pose of these lectures. Certain citizens of
Sacramento, Placer, and 81 Dorado coun-
ties united themselves in an association,
formed not for the purpose of money-mak-
ing, but simply to set forth the value of
the country named, with the honest pur-
pose of inducing immigration to what they
believe TO be the best part of the State OF
California. The association has no land to
sell. 1t hopes 10 induce you to come, well
knowing that once you come you will stay
and help build up State that offers you a
climate unsurpassed, rich soil, long life,
competency without exhausting toll,
schools, churches homes, and ease in your
declining yeaIs.
1t may be stated that yoa are not COM
ing to a land that you Will have to subdue,
as pioneers, but to one.where the prelimi-
nary hard work has already been done It
is not TO be supposed that in d country
where schools and churches abound and
which has been settled for forty years, that
much Government lnnd osn be had There
Is Government land to.be had but il IS re-
mole from railroads. Ii is cheaper and
better for you 20 settle 81 once in a SUBJ
stanual community and take advantage of
the experience of your nsighbor. Land is
cheap enough. For mary years the valley
lands have been held in large tracts de-
voted to grain raising. bat along the rail-
roads and rivers Horticulture and viticult-
ure have gradually been adopted. One
acre in truit is worth twenty in grain. AS
these pursuits are entered upon, the owner
OF quarter section finds hat twenty or.
forty acres int trees aud vines is "a. that he
reeds or can care. for, hence he will sell
the remainder. There ere no boam prices
sat the price Of LAID is based uEon its pro-
ductive 3aDabilty.
The extent OF the fruit interest may be-
INFERRED by The. fact that thers was trans.
}ported by rail- 10 points east OF the Sierra
