Northern California is fast becoming a
successful section for colonies, which are
laid out in fruit trees and vines. Its fame
as grape country is spreading far and near,
fact which the Examiner is evidently ig-
norant of.

1t may interest the intelligent public in
formant of that journal to know that the
largest vineyard in the world, perhaps, is at
Vina in Northern California, and has been
operated successfully for seven or eigh.
years. Raisius of excellent quality have been
grown and dried near Red Bluff, in the
locality of the big fruit and vineyard COL
onies.

Extension Commission was held yesterday

front as favorite residence quarter, and
streets, sidewalks and the electric railroads
viii place it among the choicest and most
desirable residence quarters of the city

tenSive improvements are being made, which
promise TO render that deli htful neigh bor-
hood a prime favorite with the better class
of home builders.
