Outside OF Southern California, which
is dependent upon irrigation, we find
the rapid qrowths fouu6 in Fresno and
Tulare counties, where extensive irriga-
tion systems have been built, and in
San Luis Obispo county, where active
railroad construction has opened up q
new country where irrigation is not so
essential.
Another feature which indicates the
future OF Southern California is the fact
that new transcontinental railroads, in
seeking an outlet on this coast, are head
ing for the city Of Los Angeles. They are
coming this way because it is live and
growing section of country, and then
again it is a live and growing section of
country because the railroads are COM
ing this way.
Los Angeles city is coming rapidly to
the front as the metropolis OF Southern
California. and if the present growth
continues it will in few years become
the metropolis of the Pacific coast, and
the extensive irrigation developments
now assured. which will bring under
profitable cultivation all that grand val
ley between this city and the sea, will
materially accelerate the speed with
which this CITY is stepping into the front
rank.

The population OF California in 1880
was 1854 4,552, and in 1890 it wss l, ,208, $50
"a gain in 10 years of 34S.57S.
In 1890 the school census OF this state
showed $50 1882 children OF school age.
Comparing this with the federal census
for that year and we find that the ratio
is 43. The comparison OF the federal
census of 1880 with the school census of
that wear also shows the same ratio.
Hence it ia fair to assume that the
population of the state, or practically
any county OF the state, can be sscer-
tanned by multiplying the school census
figures by this ratio OF 4.3.
The state superintendent of public
instruction furnishes the following re-
port showing tine number OF census
school children 10 each county in the
state in the month of June OF this year.
The following table is prepared from
that basis:

In order to show the growth of the
state in population and to show where
the growth has been and what portion
of the state has lost in population and
what portions have made the greatest
gains, the following table is presented
showing the population by counties in
1881 and the population in 1894 to-
gether with the loss or gain of popula.
tion in each county. Those counties
which have lost in population in the last
IA years and those which have gained
less than 5000 in population are all put
together, and thoue counties which
have made greater gains are also
grouped together. Those counties which
have been created out of other counties
since 1880 have been placed next to the
counties from which they were respect
lively taken. Glenn was taken from
Colusa county, Riverside from San Ber-
nardino and San Diego counties, MADEIRA
from Fresno county and Kings from
