agricultural and mineral products of
Phoenix, but also the cultivation of large
area of country, almost valueless hitherto
by reason Of its isolation. Another impOr-
tant advantage of the proposed Pn9nX
route will be shorter outlet from Calfor-
mia to the Eastern territory than can be had
at present, saving about $50 miles on the
through route.
Money for the grading of the first fifty
miles has already been subscribed, and the
remaining necessary funds are pledged by
heavy Eastern capitalists.
A MARKED DECREASE SHOWN.
Land sales OF the Central Pacific Railroad
for this year will show q marked decrease
as compared with those of 1890 For the
first eighteen days of the Gu trent month 2223
acres were disposed of for the sum Of
So. 3S7 81. against S26, 1913 80, the price OF
35O5 3O-lOO acres sold during the same period
in 1890
For the month of August, 1890, 7426 $500
acres were sold for S55,972 81, while for
August of this year only 1913 S7-100 acres
could be disposed Of the price paid having
been S7SS7 49, This falling off in receipts
cannot be ascribed to slow demand.
On the contrary, the call for country real
estate Is sharp in all portions of the State,
and especially so in Southern California,
where most of the railroad property is To-
Gated. The remarkable decrease must
rather be found in the fact that tract COM
prising over 100000 acres. situated in Los
Angeles and San Bernardino counties, has
been tied up in litigation for some time, and
consequently not open to settlement.
A recent decision of the United States
Circuit Court i'll favor of the company clears
the title to this vast area OF fine agricultural
land. which will undoubtedly be in good de-
mand
