Sutter county, with its 100000 acres of
themost fertile cultivated land in the world,
has been county with only a few small
towns, one Of which, containing the Court
house and county property, could scarcely
be called its own. Yuba City is nothing
more nor less than little suburb of
Marysville, and practically belongs to that
city. The Judge, jury, witnesses and liti-
gants all eat, sleep and spend their money
ia the adjoining county. An aggregate of
100000 of Sutter county money is an
nually expended in Marysville, the profits
arising therefrom serving to benefit the
industries of another county, rather than
TO foster and have them for its own. Yuba
City, the county seat, is situated at the
extreme eastern edge Of the county, and
the people Of the county eventually be-
came alive to the fact that city near TIE
center of the county, convenient to all,
was an absolute necessity, and they deter
mined to have it.
TIE NEW CITY.
The liveliest town in the State of Cali
fornia to-day, north of Fresno, and the
one which can show the most rapid
growth, general development and public
improvement is Sutter City. Where only
fourteen months ago the stubble from the
crop of 1887 was the sole occupant of the
landscape surface, there stands at this time
the largest city in Sutter county. A visit
to the locality was such veritable sur
prise that review of what has been, and
is being done is Of more than usual inter
est. Southern enterprise laid out sand
plains into boom towns, sold lots TO the
music Of brass bands, there was iizz, bang,
boom, explosion, the thud o: the rocket
stick and the story complete. Here, with
out ostentation or parade, is town spring
ing up as by the fabled magic of the Genii,
supplying necessity which the natural
resources of the immediate section war
rants, and it has come 10 stay.
THE LOCATION.
Sutter CITY is ten miles west of Marys-
vile, on a line drawn north and south
through the center of Sutter county. 1t
is two miles from, and at the southeastern
foot of the Marysville Buttes, and the
general landscape is exceptionally grand.
The site selected for the town has the ap-
pearance of being level, but slopes about
fifty feet to the mile, and is covered with
the oak growth so peculiarly Californian.
where the stately trees stand singly, as
sentinels, free from undergrowth--a vast
and beautiful natural park.
The town site consists of 100 acres, Sc
lected on account of its exceptional adj
vantages, by what is known as the Suffer
County Land Improvement and Reclama-
tion Company, corporation with a capital
stock of million dollars, formed for the
purposes indicated by the title.
Early development was the programme,
and was set about with signal ability. In
the PLOTTING, the two main streets. Nelson
and Califo mia. were made each 100 feet
wide; Barrows, Mulberry and Walnut,
each s. ees vide, and all the other streets
