Ramifes to every portion of the great in
tefior of California. 1t bends and sways
the isothermal lines, destroys latitudes,
ushers in with bloom and song the reign
of eternal spring, and mocking at the puny
efforts of winter, gladdens the earth with
plenty. The "orange" or "citrus belt" of
California extends from Shasta on the
north to the dominions of old Mexico on
the south.
Willows is now acknowledged to be the
great halfway house of the Sacramento
valley. In the awakening of the latent
industries of the 'sgreat north" she is the
first to move forward Heretofore, con-
tent with modicum of prosperity, while
LEADING ALL HER RIVALS,
She now rises to the grandeur and impor-
tance of the occasion. From an uninhab-
tied grain-feld in 1877, the close of 1887
found her with population of 800 souls.
Her present population is nearly 1000.
Costly brick blocks, stone sidewalks, ma
cadamized streets, excellent school build
ings, and churches and fine residences, all
attest thrift and general prosperity. One

furthering the best interests of the city
