city is credited with $31 ,099, ,977 ,52l, and
all the rest of the thirty-seven cities
given with only $1s.093, ,74O,67O. In
New York the figures show a falling of
of IL per cent. as compared with 1887.
Cincinnati fell beyond the record of the
previous year by 11.8 per cent, ST.
Paul fell away A. per cent. st. Joseph
53 per cent, Baltimore 5.S per

place where business was literally para
lyzed, the falling off being 81 per cent.
In all the other cities business showed an
improvement according to the clearances.
The average improvement outside of New
York city was 23 per cent. The first
portion of last years business was gen.
orally slow in the country as rule; but
the latter part of the year there was
great improvement, and this betterment
of business has been carried over into

CheAp Land.

A few days ago in an article on real
estate the San Francisco Alta, among
other things. had this:
W. H. Mills, the Land Agent of the
Central Pacific Railroad Company said
yesterday that the company has now
6,00o, 600 acres Of "granted" land, OF
which 5000 acres were sold during the
past year. This land is located in the
Capay Valley, and prices ranging from
$500 to $265 an acre were paid for it.
There has been very good inquiry for
timber land, and good inquiry for good
land generally, but there has been very
little inquiry for grazing land. When we
have secured a market in London for our
fruit We shall then more speedily sell our
mountain land, where good fruit can be
raised.
We have sold better quality of land
this year and have got better prices for
it. When we sell cheap grazing land
that takes down from the average, but as
we have not sold much of that this year
the average has been better. The lowest
sale, for instance, in the Capay Valley
was forty acres for 81 600.
Forty acres for 81, 900 is 500 per acre.
This is for unimproved land. Above Mr..
Mills Gays the land sold for 5000 to $265
per acre. That probably means the av-
erage range of prices. The lowest price
paid was 500 per acre.
Yet our Eastern friends are going
north to look for cheap land The other
day one Of these, genuine home-seeker
went down to Artesia and viewed small
farm OF sixty to eighty acres. 1t has i'm
provements to the value of say, 81 500 on
it. There are two flowing wells, and
every acre Of the land is the best alfalfa
land in this section. 1t was offered 10
him for $l00 per acre; but he declined to
buy, saying he would 90 up
north, as he heard lands were
much cheaper in that section. He will
find his mistake when he comes to in
vestigate. The railroad always sells at a
much lower price than private parties.
Yet Mr.. Mills reports the lowest sale at
500. and the average prices at from
5000 to $265 per acre.
Around Perris, and in many other
localities a little removed from the
the vicinity of Los Angeles city, lands
are to be had much cheaper. As good
lands as the Capay valley lands are sold
At Perris for from $l7 to $40 per acre. At
Cucamonga, irrigated foothill land, the
best orange land in the State, is to be
had for $65 per acre. 1t is an utter mis-
take that lands are dear in this section.
Some of cur property is held high; but if
It is, it is because of some fancy uses to
which it may be put.

lights. After l had done this stood
looking, about for about 10 minutes.
Suddenly l heard a loud rush.
ing noise which l thought
was a cyclone. The building then
shook. was standing in the southern
end OF the room and before l could look
out OF the window l felt the building
sink. Quick as lightning the portion Of
the room was in went down. The girls
rushed about me crying and screaming
and calling for help. They did not real.
ize whst was taking place. 1t seemed to
me as IT the center of the building was
struck first. l cannot describe the
scene; it was awful. l could not
do anything and could not think
of what l should do. Our end of the
building went down first, and while the
floor was sinking it seemed to me az if
the girls in the other part of the room
wore on top of hill that was the way it
impressed me. While we were going
down l saw the other portions of the
fioor fall. In minute all was over; tho
screaming of the girls were heartrending.
l was knocked down under some heavy
timbers and held fast by my foot. l could
move every other part Of my body exec pt
my leg. l reached down with nv knife
and cut the shoe off my foot this way I
became loosened and managed to arise.
