SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA.
A Portland Tourists Spicy Letter about
Real Estate and Climate.

A Portland gentleman Mr.. B. F. Will
liams, Of the Twitchell, Champlin Co.,
writes home a very interesting letter con-
corning real estate in Southern California.
The Prrss is enabled to print SO much
of it as -elates to matters of public in
terest:
ORANGE, CAL, Dec. %, '91.
| cannot write you such howery letters
as did when out here five years ago, for
the simple reason that the country is not
so fiowery. At that time $1,000 per acre
for ranch property. under good state of
cultivation, with trees and vines, was the
going price, with every prospect of $500
per acre being the price within six
months. At such prices the Californians
could afford and did plant rose bushes
had fine hedges and some even INDUCED
in lawns. Such beauty attracted the
''tenderfeet'' and they bought 10 to 20
acre ranches freely at the price viz, $1,000
per acre, in most cases paying half down
and agreeing to pay the balance in /, 2, 3,
and years time with interest at 10 per
cent. This, mind you, was five years ago
and thousands of just such deals were
made, some larger and some smaller of
course. Since then the vine disease APP
peared in this valley and destroyed all
the grape vines and they have long since
been dug up and the roots used for fire
wood. Next came the scale bug on the
orange trees and in order to save the
trees and raise any fruit it was necessary
to devote lots of time, money and atten-
ton to them, in fact put out about as
much money as they could expect to get
for the crop when harvested Now then.
We will say q years have elapsed, rancho
property is worth $500 per acre Gnstead
of $1,000 the poor devils have worked
hard to get living and pay their in
terest money. The shrinkage in property
has wiped out their interest in it and
their only object is to ''skin the rancho
get all they possibly can out of it and not
put in dollar. Consequently the
orange trees in most cases are
neglected, looking bad, and not
bearing much fruit. The beautiful
hedges, lawns, rose bushes and flower
gardens have been neglected too and the
country looks desolate. | am combining
my remarks to this valley now. / dom
know much about the other sections as
haven't been around any yet; still know
thew have suffered more or less from the
same causes everywhere. Rancho prop
erty can be bought now at 5000 to $3.50
per acre with citrons and deciduous fruit
trees in bearing. Corner lots are worth
about the same as the T. G. Co.'S Neu-
ralgic Anodyne $24.00 per gro. less the
discount in quantities.
But now mind you this country is on
the eve of prosperity. Eastern people
are coming in and buying land at the
present prices, paying cash down, going
to work on their ranches and putting
them in better shape than they ever were.
They can afford to do it and it will pay
them well in the end-not including
climate.
have discovered that all Californians
will lie on the climate question. In order
