some correspondent will never beat
the record for flying that has been set
by the Eagles Of Norfolk.
New Years night in Norfolk be.
louged exclusively to Sugar City aerie

was theirs by right of possession, and
nobody questioned their property
rights. They celebrated the occasion
with their third annual ball at Mar.
quardt hall-and the third annual
proved to be as much more of a sue
cess than the second as the second
had been superior over the first All
of this has more significance when 1t
is recalled that the first annual party
was a perfectly excellent affair.
Marquardts hall was crowded full
last night. Marquardt's hall has been
crowded before, but it has seldom been
filled with a more representative or
more thoroughly happy throng than
last night. Hundreds of tickets for
the party had been purchased in ad-
vance by the business men of Norfolk,
who are always willing to push good
thing along, and the result last night
was that there were scarcely enough
hoogs in the cloak rooms upon which
10 hang the hats of the dancers.
The fact that the night was a holi-
day was responsible for the attendance
of many who otherwise could not have
been present, and it was responsible,
too, for the absence of some who would
have liked to be on deck but who
failed because of having spent the day
out of town. The decorations were
done in holiday fashion and were es-
fective. The music was first class and
early hour this morning.
The success of the affair was due
largely to the untiring zeal of the fol
lowing committees in charge:

THE SACRAMENTO VALLEY.


We recently spent three weeks In
this California Valley. the guest of
Boards of Trade and Chambers OF
Commerce. travelling by rail, by car
riage and automobile. and seeing
every important section of region
160 miles long by from to so miles
wide. We came away with a greatly
enlarged estimate of its value agri-
culturally, and with an added sense OF
its beauty.
We saw on both sides of the Sacra-
mento River vast tracts of fat land.
as attractively located and as salts
flying TO the eye as any farmer ever
looked upon with longing. In several
sections OF this Valley we saw, still
largely untitled, the most continuous
bodies of fertile land to be found on
the continent That they are "in the
market" is explained by the failure of
wheat farming on large scale, and
by the effect of this kind of "bonanza
farming" in keeping the country un-
settled Land is plenty and popula-
ton sparse The growth, too, of the
great irrigation movement tends to
break up large land holdings, and
creates a demand for small farms.
Two great canals are practically
completed, capable of watering near
ly half a million acres. and the plans
of the United States Reclamation Ser
vice contemplate an irrigation system
covering the entire floor of the val
ley.
The wisdom of artificial irrigation
in such a climate as that of Califor-
mia is SO manifest that dry farming
will rapidly become a thing of the
past. 1t explains why lands are low /;
why great, level. productive areas in
the finest regions of wonderful
State are for sale. Under the new
order, the irrigated farm will seldom
exceed 160 acres, and the majority
will be below 40 acres. Instead of 25
people to the square mile as now,
there will be ten times as many.
Now look at the opportunity. Here
are over 5000 square miles of fertile
area, level as a floor, and a pOpula
ton of less than 10000. This means
room, and room means opportunity
For every man of energy and thrift il
means foothold on the soil, and that
in climate like that of California
means at least a livelihood, at mosi
fortune and comfort under kindly
skies. Nowhere that 1 know of under
the canopy is there such a combina
ton of rich soil, abundant moisture
and sunshine-the essential conditions
of production.
