trade expected to follow real estate can
not help receiving a healthful impetus.
With the price OF labor advancing ana
money more plentiful there is not much
doubt that these hopeful expectations are
not builded on the sand.
In early spring it is believed that thou
sands OF adventurous minded persona
will flock to this coast, en- route to the
Alaska goldfields. Many of them will in
all probability return from there sadly
disappointed, while many may make COM
Portable fortunes; but the effect on this
coast cannot be otherwise than beneficial.
ALI must make brief sojourn here in
going, and many will voluntarily do so in
returning. Thus the praises of California
will be sung throughout the East by ''ar-
gonauts"-a fit strain to follow that of
the Christian Endeavorers-
