the town lots one quarter of the purchase
price is to be paid down, one quarter in
six months, one quarter in twelve months,
and the balance in eighteen months. The |
acreage lots will be sold at from S25 to !
$3.50 per acre, 20 per cent. of the pur-

purchaser so per cent. of the purchase
money for five years at per cent. per
annum. The company has already issued
notice to all religious denominations that
sites for churches will be assigned them
upon application. 1t will thus be seen
that the company proposes to proceed upon
the most liberal policy and to have the val
ley quickly settled, without paying any
attention to profit on the lands, but look
ing forward to its reward in transporting
to market the products of the soil.
THE CHIEF LOCAL EMPORIUM.
The position of Esperanza will make it
the chief local emporium of the entire
valley. Its prosperity will be based upon
the great extent and fertility of its sup
porting territory, while its railroad facili-
ties will be unsurpassed. The railroad
runs along the west line of the town site,
and the rate of transportation on grain
will be the same as from Blacks or Wood
land. 1t will be one of the greatest fruit
centers of the Pacific coast, and in the
near future carloads of fruit will go direct
from this point to all the great markets of
the East.
A company is now being formed for the
purpose of pumping water into a reservoir,
to be located on the hill Just back of the
town of Capay, to supply Esperanza with
water for domestic purposes and for irriga-
ton. Trees. shrubs and flowers of every
description grow luxuriantly in the deep,
rich soil, and within brief period the
| place will blossom as the rose"
CADANAsso
The second town, is located five and a half
miles west of Esperanza, on beautiful
tract of land containing $50 acres, with
other tracts of land belonging to the COM
pany close by, among which is a splendid
piece containing 265 acres and located on
the Lower Lake stage road. The town
will have an excellent country surround
ing it, and is in the valley proper. 1t is
located on one of the most fertile pieces of
land to be found in the State of Califor-
MIA. There is now growing upon it fine
orchard and thrifty vineyard of eighteen
acres, which give tho best evidence of the
capabilities of the SOL. The orchard
scene presented with this article, "Oranges
at Cadanasso," is from photograph taken
upon this tract, showing the orange trees
in bearing. Here almost every variety of
citrus and deciduous fruits may be seen
growing in perfection. The trees present

! their age as trees in many other portions
of the State, have never been injured in
the slightest degree by frost and bear an
excellent quality of fruit.

RUMsEY
The last town, situated at the head OF
the valley and the present terminus of the
railroad, has been named Rumsey. It will
probably remain the terminus for the next
three or four years, when the road will be
extended into the Clear Lake country.
! Rumsev is located in one of the most pie
turesque spots in California. We present
with this article two views from photo
graphs taken in the immediate vicinity Of
the town site. One is view loo!in.

subdivided into small tracts and sod to
actual settlers. Hotels will be built for
the accommodation Of tourists who will
seek the place for the beauty OF its scenery
and the splendid hunting in the neighbor-

ers' paradise" for game is abundant and
the surface of the country is the
finest to shoot over that can be imagined.
