SUBSIDY FOR A LANDLORD.
Approaching the need of good hotel ac-
commodations, the business people of
Traver have subscribed and hold ready for
donation the sum OF $500 to any hotel
man who will come to Traver and erect a
$4,000 brick hotel. This being the first
public announcement of this fact, who
speaks?
EDUCATION AND RELIGION,
Nothing serves better for an index TO
the general enterprise and character of a
community than Its schools and churches.
A magnificent two-story school house, built
by direct tax at 4 cost of $4,000, answers
every requirement for the former, and
three church buildings, commodious and
well furnished, testify to the general APP
probation Of the latter.
Last, but by no means least, as a general
and moral instructor, stands the Traver
Adrocdte, of which f. Y. Dewey is editor
and proprietor, and which paper is devoted
to the best interests of Trayer and the sur
rounding country.
CLAIMS TO THE ATTENTION OF HOME
SEEKERS.
Last season witnessed an immigration
| to California many times in excess of
that of any previous year in the his
tory of the State. If the signs
of the times are to be considered, the
influx the coming season will be treble
that Of the past. With such inducements
as are here offered, it is not strange that
people, as they continue to learn, should
more and more desire to come.
People with capital of from $1,000 to
$1,000 can do better with it in California
than in any section of the known world,
and at the same time enjoy the most
equable and healthful of climates
CLIMATE
When the rains begin to iall in October
and November, the grain which has al
ready been sown and narrowed in dry at
once springs up, and the natural grass
comes forth in the pastures. One might
call it spring-time rather than winter, for
such it really is, though the grain and
grass do not attain to much hight until
along in February, when they put forth a
marvellous growth.
There is never any stopping of farm
work on account of cold, and in the towns
carpenters and brick masons work as well
in winter as in summer.
THE RAINY SEASON
Ends with light showers in May, when Q
season most emphatically dry begins. The
Eastern reader will scarcely, however be
able to understand the nature of our eli
mate if he judges by the thermometer
} There is peculiar dryness in the air anC
a constant passage of currents which rem
ders the day comparatively pleasant wher
the thermometer marks degree which or
the Atlantic seabord would indicate sun
stroke and cause universal suspension from
labor. There is never = day here wher
labor in the fields must be stopped on ac
count of heat. The mercury marks high
but the dryness of the air takes off per
spiration, the delightful breezes fan the
laborers while they work, and the labor OF
haying and harvest goes on month after
month under cloudless sky. So our Eastern
; friends may be assured that in the peculiar
conditions which favoring nature ha.
placed in the climate in California, the,
, will not suffer from heat in summer MOI
cold i'll winter. The former is warm bu
not oppressive; the latter is never severe
IN CONCLUSION.
No matter what the richness of the sol
and the accompanying advantages o
climate, one need not and must not expec
to come to California and gain home and
f wealth without necessary effort. Do no
let your imagination carry you away. You
may possess such homes, orchards vine
yards and farms as you see others have, but
only by such steady and patient effor: a.
they have expended. Nature has her,
laid noble foundation for mans home
the home must be built by man himself.
But those who come with willingness
and determination to labor here as the,
have in the East will find unlimited op
portunity for success, and in no section a
more inviting prospect than that afforded
; in the 76 country.
