While the attendance was not as large at this

the proximity of the holidays, the bidding was
decidedly lively, and the prices obtained are
higher right through the list than those ruling
last month. The market is stronger, rejecting
the higher prices in California.
THE granting of stop-over privileges by
the Southern Pacific Railroad is a matter
of greater importance to Central and
\ orthern California than any one antici-
pdLeS, SdlQ EuWIn N. AlSlp a 1eW OaVS
ago. "Our attention has been more parJi-
cularly drawn to this fact by our con-
nection with immigrants during the last
three months than ever before, " continued
Mr.. Alsip, land we must confess that we
never fully realized this Importance until
this time. l believe that the Southern Pa
citic Railroad Company is standing in its
own light by not granting these privileges,
for every man who locates in Northern
California is direct feeder to their system,
as everything he wears, eats and raises
passes over their lines. There are some
800 to 500 people passing through Sacra-
mento every week-all ticketed to Southern
California. They know nothing about the
resources of our portion of the State and
did they know at least half of them would
be induced to settle among us. Every
business man and every settler In this por-
ton is interested in this matter. In the
late excursion parties, which have come
through to settle upon the Fair Oaks
colony, which we represent upon this
coast, there were several to whom our as
sociates had to promise to pay and did so
in few cases the fare from Sacramento to
Los Angeles in order to get immigrants to
stop off and we easily sold land 10 three
quarters of the new corners.
81 presume other brokers have had the
same experience. The local railroad agents
