COUNTRY LANDS.
Mr. George W. Hopkins of the Carnall-
Fitzhugh- Hopkins Company has returned
from A weeks trip to Shasta County, and re-
ports real estate matters in that district in
fourishing condition. 1--WE have" said Mr..
Hopkins, Just completed the planting of
about As, go fruit trees QUr nonresident col
OniSts) in the Cottonwood Park Fruit Colony
Tract and the Hopkins Model Colony, near
Anderson, and many thousands more have
been planted In the vicinity this season.
There Is no question but this district will
become one OF the most important fruit CEN
tiers in the State. Nearly every variety of
fruit grows to perfection in the valley and
FootbIll ,lorfiCDc of tho ~ fIha n nd
climate are practically Identical with those
of Santa Clara Valley and the foothills of
Los Gatos and Saratoga. j. Z. Coffin OF
Newton Highlands Mass, and Z. L. Brick
EFT of Boston have recently arrived and have
located on the Model Colony. and are build
ing their residences. Others Of their
friends Will shortly follow. In the Cotton
wood Park Tract we have already an or
chard extending along the creek for
distance of about two miles. We are
laying out broad avenues through the en-
tire tract and having 1t prepared for sub
division. One of the attractions which we
have now under way is race track, or driv-
ing avenue, fifty feet in width, and about
TWO miles in length, which is perfectly
straight and as level as floor, and when
completed cannot be eXcelled in the State
for 4 speed track. We have planted this sea-
son several hundred cork trees, which were
imported from Algeria, and which we think
viii thrive remarkably well in that district,
in which case new and quite an important
industry will be inaugurated, that is, the
gathering and preparing of the cork, which
is cork of commerce. Everything points to
a large business in California this season on
colony properties. Our correspondence from
the East, from those who have definitely de-
cided to come 10 this State. is steadily on
the increase. and with the large tracts
which are now under our exclusive control
Northumberland and Northern California,
we naturally expect to do our share OF locat-
ing Calilornia's new population
