RAYMOND PARTY COMING,

The excursion managers Anticipated
that their parties leaving the East for
California after the election would be
good ones, and their fondest hopes have
been realized. From inquiries made at
the different excursion agencies in this
city it is found that over GOO people are
now speeding across the continent in this
direction and will arrive here dnring the
coming week. A few are destined for
points in the northern part of the State,
but the majority are for Southern Cali
fornia and by far the greatest proportion
for Los Angeles county. The advices
state that although quite a number are
making the trip for the first time, at
tracted here by the glowing accounts
they have heard of the Golden State,
there is yet goodly number who are
coming to settle, and whose household
appendages are following them by
freight. The ratio of agriculturists among
these intending settlers is a very fair
one, and acre property which is not held
at too high figure will soon be in de-
mand as these hosts pour in. The fol-
lowing are the statements made as to
the numbers of their patrons by the ex-
cursion men.
