BEAUTIFUL CALIFORNIA.
W. 3. GiIlingham Writes Of Pacific
Coast Sights.

"
| ARROYO GRAND, CAL, Dec. IS. "A
few lines in regard to this part Of
California as compared with Kansas.
| Well when we take all things into
consideration there is no comparison
as they are in entirely different
classes. Arroyo Grand Valley is To-
Gated little south OF the ceRter OF
state and starts about one mile from
the coast and runs about 8 miles back
among the coast mountains. The
valley is from one-half to one and a
half mile wide and is very fertile and
said to be the most productive valley
in the state.
Seed houses in the East when offer
ing prizes for the greatest yield Of
vegetables have Of late years excluded
this valley from competing as in
former years this valley got nearly
all the pr yes.
At present we are trying to believe
that we are in the oil belt. We are
only 22 miles from circuit the great
est oil producing wells in the United
States and lately there has been two
paying wells finished at Prices Can
yon miles from our place and there
are several rigs at work closer than
that. The closest to our little ranch
is one-half mile which started some
three weeks ago. The formation here
is very hard and it requires on an
average about one year to drill 1000
feet which is about the average depth
at which oil in paying quantities is
struck. The cost to put down pros
pect hole is about $4,000.
Wages here are high and living
about the same as in Kansas, except
clothing, shoes, machinery, tools,
ETC., which are very high. As to
farming, | believe that around Abb
lene it is better than here especially
for a man Of small means and the
people OF Dickinson county are more
sociable than here but when it comes
to climate Dickinson county or Kansas
are not in it. We are only about 4
miles from the coast. The climate is
about the same the year around,
never very hot, seldom cold enough
'or frost and then we miss those
gentle dust storms Of Kansas but
most of all we miss our old friends Of
Dickinson county.
