The Stockton Daily Mail says the town
of Escalon, on the line of the new San Joa-
quin Valley Railroad, is where fortunes
will be made in a very short time. Escalon,
situated in the southeastern part of San
Joaquin County, will be the principal
shipping point for the large surrounding
country and bids fair to be a lively
town when the railroad is completed to
that point The Stockton colony adjoins
the town Of Escalon and lies in the heart
of CALIFORNIA; early fruit belt. 1t is about
equi-distant from the main line of the
Stockton 10 MERGED via Oakdale. All
necessary passenger and freight depots for
the new Valley road have already been
arranged for at Escalon. If irrigation
should be needed on the colony lands it
will be afforded by the Stanislaus and San
Joaquin Water Company's canals at 81 80
per acre per annum. The property of this
town and colony, although placed upon
the market about week ago by E. e. Har-
low d Co., real-estate brokers of Stockton

Colonel w. G. Hawley, a real-estate
broker Of San Jose, writes:
The money market being much easier by
reason OF its seeking investment in purchases
and on mortgages at reduced rates OF interest
causes much better feeling in Santa Clara
County. Quite a number of small orchards
have been sold very recently, and city property
in San Jose is being transferred, notably the
block where the old theater STOOD purchased by
J: Dougherty, on which he proposes to erect an
elegant four-story brick, covering the entire
lot. Loans are being made now at per cent
for large ones, where only short time since
they asked per cent, and we have made two
besides several small ones. Prices on real
estate are lower than they have been since
1887, and some good orchards can be had at
since the boom. In fact, both city and country
property can be had at bedrock prices, and the
money market becoming easier insures in
creased activity in our line.
