Too much stress cannot be laid upon the great ad.
vantage to the tuitgrower of being in early locality.
In most cases it makes the difference between success
and failure The industrious orchardist of Capay Valley
may rest assured that he will derive all the benefits gained
by the first fruit shipments of the season. and that 20
of this rich land when the trees are in bearing
will yield handsome and assured income
The Capay Valley Land Company has an agent
siding i'll the valley whose duty show the various
tracts to land seekers.
-Four townsites have been laid out in different points
IN the valley, viz Esparto, Cadenasso, Guinda and
Rumsey. Town lots may now be purchased at reason
able prices and on easy terms
The enterprisn9 and fiouriShing of Esparto is
situated at the lower end Of the valley and $4,000
worth of substantial buildings have already been erected
blocks and waerworks, with pipes laid in the streets,
The town has postofice, school-house and weekly
paper and the fine railroad depot contains telegraph
and express offices.
Postohices have ase been established at Gunda and
Rumsey This latter place, situated the head of the
valley, is the present terminus of the railroad. The
comfortable little hotel makes excellent quarters for
hunters well as land-seekers
The advantages enjoyed by the settler in Capay Val
ley may be thus conCisely summed up:
soil Of great fertility, yielding bountiully of every
crop
soil and climate which will ripen all kinds of fruit
and vegetables earlier than anywhere else in the State
climate perfectly adapted to the curing OF rasns and
drying of fruit without the aid of artificial evaporators
AloCation that is central and close markets Railroad
communication which enables shipments to be made
quickly and Cheaply Lands which are sold cheaper
and on better terms than anywhere else in the State

LAKE TAHOE.
1t Is Destined to Become Great sum-
mer Resort


mer Resort.
1t is becoming the general opinion,
says the Carson Tribune, that before five
years shall have passed away the shores of
Lake Tahoe will be dotted with cottages
owned and inhabited during the season
by not only people of San Francisco and
neighboring towns, but by dwellers of
the Eastern States, who, by travel, have
become acquainted with the salubrious
climate OF our mountain lake, and, in
stead OF few hundreds, thousands Will
make their summer home on Tahoe's
shores. Should such prove the case,
there Will be little use for hotels, as in
every separate location stores would be
built, and the annual visitors accOmmo-
dated with all the necessaries of life. A
change like this would cause a large in
fux to the lake every year, and, instead
of mere transient visits, those who Wis
tied the lake would remain the entire
season, for the reason that by owning
their dwellings, they could live at one
tenth the expense a residence at the Tai
lac, or some other hotels, would cost
them.
1t would be better for all parties, espe-
cially the owners of steam and other YES
sells, and as a railroad will almost certain
to be builtto the lake from Truckee within
n year, the facilities for travel viii be so
greatly increased that a trip to Lake
Tahoe will be entirely one of pleasure.
Several purchases of land have already
been made on the shores Of that inland
sea, and many snug residence will be
added to the number already there, be-
fore another winters snow shall put an
end to travel in that direction. By in
creasing the number of residences, roads
which are entirely closed during the
winter months would be kept open. and
hundreds viii spend their winters there
| hunting bear and other wild animals. In
! fact. the days Of Lake Tahoe's prosperity
seem to be dawning rather than, as often
spoken of, on the Wanc.

MOUNT SHASTA
Mr.. and Mrs. Z. s. Lawson's Ascent
on the East Side


on the East side.
The Mount Shasta Herald of the I'd
contains the following account OF the re-
cent ascent Of Mount Shasta by Mr.. and
Mrs. P. S. Lawson of this city, which was
made on the east side of the mountain:
P. S. Lawson and wife, Miss Ruby
Hawley and Miss Ada Higginson under
took the ascent Of Mount Shasta from the
east side last Sunday. They all reached
the summit but Mrs. Lawson, who
stopped at Lunch Rock, which, by the
way, is higher than Thumb Rock, and
thinking it useless did not try to go far
ther, but when the party returned and
reported that it took them one hour and
forty minutes from where they left her,
she was sorry she did not make the at
tempt.
Mr.. Lawson says the ascent from that
side is much easier and the scenery
grander than on the west, and he arrived
at the monument not the least fatigued
stayed there about an hour and saw a
great many things that he had not the
time to view on his other trip there.
At Lunch Rock they found twenty or
thirty sticks Of wood, left there by the
surveyors, and they were as sound as the
day they were left there
They took horse within SIGHT of the
monument, and but for TWO or three steep
pitches they could have ridden all the
Wayup.
This is the first party of ladies that have
undertaken the ascent from the east
side.
