WENDELL EAsToN'5 VIEWS.

A Great Promise for 6outhcru California
for tho Coming Winter.
Mr.. Wendell Easton. senior member
of the firm of Eiston, Eldr:dge q Co.,
identified with realty matters through
out the Pacific coast, and particularly
in the state of California, while on a
visit to Los Angeles during the past
week expresses himself that the promise
for the winter of 1S93-94is certainly very
flattering.
After experiencing the financial wave
which has swept across the country dur
ing the past season, California has occu-
pied peculiarly strong position and
has recovered from the disturbing con-
dition OF affaire-a result brought about
from the fact that at no other time in
the history of the state has there been
go much money in the han6s Of the
people, generally distributed, and with
the development that has been going on
during the past few years OF the re-
sources OF the state, when the time came
for California to pass through the ordeal,
the response was made, and upon equal
merit the state is PROBABLY at the mo-
ment in better shape than most OF the
states in the union.

an attractive point for the large west
bound immigration that sets in at this
time of the wear and already ie feeling
the impetus OF large influx of people,
Los Angeles is the Chicago of the Pacific
coast, is natural terminal point for
fully two-thirds of the west-bound traf-
&c, and the scene OF prosperity that
prevails in this city will create favora-
81 fhtp mn n or w ntQr and
result in very large increase OF our
population.
With, the California international
midwinter exposition at San Francisco.
and the material results OF attention in
the direction OF the Pacific coast, the
railroad companies in joint session are
proposing to make a reduction in west
bound transportation which will greatly
increase the amount of immigration
into the state, and while the city OF San
Francisco will derive local benefit from
q large number OF exhibitors and visit
ors to the exposition, the benefit afforded
bv the action of the railroads will be
general throughout the whole state, and
the coast as an entirety is on
that can hardly be com pretended. In
consequence u VIC pOolpiOh III bhc
railroads 10 reduce the fares, there will
be included among the tourists coming
to this coast many families whose ties
are now severed from their former inter-
eats by the recent disturbance in finan-
cial affairs, and large percentage OF
them will be in a position to make new
homes among the attractions offered
them. A serious drawback to the result
from tourist immigration has been the
fact that many who were impressed
with the benefits of our state have been
obliged to return to their homes and
close up their affairs, and sever their
connection in business and social way
before locating in this part of the coun-
try. Without doubt these elements
will be somewhat modified now, and it
NAV fairly be expected that large per-
centage of the new corners during the
winter months will start from the east
with the intention of securing new
home on the Pacific coast, and large
number OF them will have their affairs
in such condition that they will not
have to return to make adjustments OF
their business.
Asa result OF the financial disturb
ance realty values through the state
have been leveled very materially and
holders of property are inclined to be
reasonable in their ideas to meet the
views of newcomers. Important CEN
ters in California, like Los Angeles and
San Francisco, will certainly receive an
impetus, but the direct benefits and
permanent results are going to be in the
interior of the state, as the avenues for
employment and business will be more
inviting to the masses OF people through
out the interior than in the crowded
cities. tits reasonable to expect that
the population of the state of California
will be increased during the winter
months by at least 100,0 people, and
this number being distributed over the
state generally is likely to produce re-
suit with reference to acreage property,
and indirectly toward the important
centers throughout the state.
