ADVERTISE THE TRUTH

If conditions in the south were
known many immigrants from Europe
would settle in this section. To secure
immigration, then, we should make
these conditions known in Europe-net
in New York. We do not claim the
south offers to all immigrants induce
ments superior to those offered by
other sections. To certain classes, how
ever, 1t offers inducements that can be
found nowhere else. Wages are gen.
orally higher in the north than at the
south. This is partially offset by the
higher cost of living at the north.
But whatever may be true of labor
working for wages 1t is unquestionably
true that the man who works for him
self will find In the south an ideal
home. And 1t takes very little more for
him to become his own employer. He
can buy lands in the south for less
than one-third of the sum he would
have to pay for those equally fertile in
the north, and the southern lands will
grow a greater variety of products than
any other on earth. The south combines
the products of the temperate zone
with those of the tropics. This variety
makes 1t possible to prevent overpro-
duction. The most successful farmers
of the south raise their own food stuffs
and have the peculiarly southern pro-
duets as a surplus. Cotton now brings
a good price and will continue to do so
The south is the greatest fruit growing
section Of the earth. 1t Is unsurpassed

OCEAN PARK. Dec. 6.-Develop-
ments of the plans of the Los Angeles
Pacific railway TO spend $12,00O0OO in
extending and bettering it's transporta-
ton facilities are rapidly being
brought to notice in this section.
At Sherman and at the Redondo
forks, on the short line division of the
road, camps are being laid out, each
having arrangements for the feeding
and housing of 300 laboEers. These de-
partment and others to be estab-
lished along the line of the road will
be under the direct management of
Col. Frank Lawton, formerly of the
ship hotel Venice, and will be main
tained it is said, until all the propos-
ed improvements to the road are COM
pleted, which will take a year or
longer.
OF special importance to owners of
property in the Santa Monica bay dis
trict is the announcement that the
plans include the establishment of a
branch line to connect Sawtelle and
Venice by direct route. Such a SER
vice would be the means of opening
up a vast and practically undeveloped
territory in the hilly districts back of
the beach, which only because of its
inaccessibility has not been made the
favored residence locality of many
families residing in this section. For
months the railway has had big gangs
of laborers at work improving its land
holdings In the vicinity of Venice. Fills
have been made requiring thousands
of tons of earth and the company's
right of way in that section is now
ready to receive the broad gauge sys-
tenn of double tracks which will short
ly be laid.
1t was reported here today that
articles of incorporation had been pre-
pared and would be forwarded to Sac

Land. Light and Water company, an
association of local capitalists who,
on the strength of inside information
as to the plans of the railway, had Sc
cured control of a tract of 37S acres of
land at the Palms. The property in
volved in the transaction includes the
F. c. Langdon water right of four wells
and five miles of mains. The new COM
pany, 1t is said. expects boom devel-
opments along this end of the line of
the road before the completion of the
proposed improvements and to be pre-
pared to ta-.e part in supplying the de-
mand for residence lots that may
arise, will at once proceed to spend
100000 in improving the property.
