A GREAT WESTWARD MOVEMENT

surprising statement was made few days ago
in Los Angeles by prominent Official Of the govern
ment reclamation service. It was this;
For every acre of land that the government in
tends reclaim there ten applications for of
ownership, and by far the larger number from
those residing in the larger cities and anxious to
get little bit closer to nature"
The statement embodies twofold surprise-the
of the number Of applications for land to be
reclaimed and the fact that the applicants mostly
dwellers in the eastern cities.
It is about forty years since great sweep of west
emigration started partly by Horace Greeleys
memorable advice GO west young man, go west"
Within the of years Immediately following that
advice the tide of emigration filled up and appropriated
nearly all the available government lands that were
desirable for cultivation AS consequence during the
last twenty years the westward emigration has been
comparatively light except in respect to homeseekers
with funds sufficient purchase lands from individual
holders.
The passage by congress Of the national reclamation
and irrigation act, however, has given renewed incen-
tive to westward emigration Judging from that state
ment of the reclamation official, there must be many
thousands of homeseekers anxousy awaiting the gov
ernments development of the irrigation project When
the first reclaimed lands ready for distribution the
home sites will be snatched up as If they were hot
cakes fresh from the griddle.
This land situation is especially important to South.
ern California because vast area Of present desert
land agrculturaly rich but worthless without water,
will be made available for settlement. The inpour OF
homeseekers from the east will be likely to exhaust the
supply of such land within comparatively short time,
and the demand for home room will lead to the
division and sale of the larger in this part Of
the state
This situation points clearly to largely increased
demand for available farming land in this section, with
a consequent advance in all land values.

CALIFORNIA; ABUNDANT CAPITAL

striking indication of the great prosperity of Cali
fornia in recent years is in the fact that has
almost ceased to be money borrower abroad.
Not long ago it the uniform practice of countless
cities towns big corporations to look to the eastern
money markets for development capital AS conse
uuence there was a heavy semiannual drain of Cali
ornia money the payment of interest bonds rep
resenting the loans.
That situation changed In these days California
interest money, in great measure, remains within the
borders the Bonds that formerly sold in
eastern cities now taken at home. California has
become money lender to its people
few quite recent examples Of the changed financial
situation are noted in the Sacramento Union:
The Sacramento bonds purchased by the
voted high school bonds will probably
bankers last week purchased 100000 of
by that city Now word from San
Hibernian Savings and Loan society
purchased the $720000 worth of school and
bonds which San Francisco has been advertising
for SALE paying premium of S100 for them The same
Angeles capitalists purchased S5OOOO OF Berkeley
high school Az cent bonds paying premium of $S35O
Many examples of like character might be pointed to
in recent bond transactions of Southern California cities
and towns. In commenting upon the subject generally
our Sacramento contemporary says Now, out of its
accumulated capital California purchase its own
bonds and keep money at home This general invest
ment of California capital home securities marks the
opening of new in the states development. Like
all new states it been less dependent fnan
cialy on older communities, where wealth has accumu
lated Now it is fast showing it's ability to stand alone
