IT is very difficult for one who has not
looked closely at it's location and extent
to appreciate the peculiar advantages
of California. In latitude 1t extends from
the southern line of south Callfornla,
north to the southern line or MaSsachu-
sets. covering on the Pacific slope a cor
responding coast line extending !nlanu
on an average about 200 miles. Tax the
| Atlantic coast line covering the sa1ne
width, examine it critically and see what
a. hive of industry and what an immense
population is covered.
Law a similar area in the same LATITUDE
in the Mississippi valley. running from
the northern line Of Louisiana to the
northern line of Illinois; and see what an
AGRICULTURAL region 1t , comprises. Anu
vet California has many notable adVah-
tages over either of these tracts. In va
riety and fertility Of soil, in cllmatlc con-
ditions, it stands far in the lead.
What then is to be the future OF this
great state? When its great valleys are
all occupied by an INDUSTRIOUS anu
thrifty people, and it's foothills are, as
they are destined to be, teemdng with
life, who dare predict what shall be It's
output of material products, or what It's
influence on the great body polite.
1t is true that some portions of the
state are untitled for the purposes OF
home-making, but most OF these regions
are of the nature of great natural parks
breathing places for the multitudes
who shall eventually make thelr MONIES
in this favored state.
Nor can it be that many years will
elanse before this inviting field Will be
occupied. Before the recent nnancla
crisis the tide of immigration had al
ready set in, and it has been only tenn
porarily checked, to be resumed when
ever the good times prophesied shall
arrive. No part of our country offers
wider fields for good investments-ln-
yestments that are entirely safe, and thai
are sure of returning a good profit. lr
a comparatively new country faVoraplS
located there is always an accretion OF
value to real estate not to be looked 1ol
in a country already developed, or where
the period Of decadence has been reached
In a great state surer than near {
great city any one buying outside lands
or lots, exercising reasonably good Judg'
: ment in their selection and holding or
to them, is sure of a returning reward
Circumstances may long retard the
growth of, or even kill, an incipient city
but in a great state, with no fatal draw
hacks the onward growth is as sure as
the hand of fate.
Far-seeing men have already made
large investments here, but there are ye'
many thousands Of acres awaiting thu
coming man. whose wisdom Will surely
bring it's rich reward.
