.RANChERS PROSPER
IN SONOMA COUNTY
Adaptability of Land to Small
Fruits and Chickens Ap-
peas to Home Seeker

The American real estate company
reports that the prices of land in So
noma county are advancing because of
the many advantages possessed by that
county. Purchasers decide that Sonoma
county is the coming section for the
homes of those who desire to go into
the chicken business and also for the
raising of fruits and vegetables.
There are especial advantages in
lands that are situated around Santa
Rosa The demand is becoming so
great that lands in that vicinity are
advancing in price rapidly. Where there
were few years ago large prune or
chards and grain fields. the lana is
now being cut up into small tracts
to supply the demand. Between Santa
Rosa and Bellevue station there are
scores of chicken ranches and small
fruit farms. They all seem to be pros
porous and the owners are making
money.
The American real estate compa ny
reports that it has only nine farms left
for sale out of 102 which were placed
on the market last June. The prop
erty for sale by the company is To-
Gated near the Bellevue station, not
more than one mile distant from the
railroad.
There is no such thing as a failure
of crops in Sonoma county. Irriga- =
tion is not necessary. All sorts of
crops are prolific. Sonoma county is
considered to be very healthy and the
climate is ideal. Santa Rosa, the coun-
ty seat is handsome place and a
fine business point

transbay railroads and delivers them
from the docks, factories, packing

water front. The road was constructed
in 1891 under an act of the legislature,
and has since been operated continu-

sioners the following statement was
made:
Believing this state railroad to be
of nestimable value TO the commercial
interests. it will be the policy of the
board of state harbor commissioners to
extend its operation TO the territory
south of Market street as soon as the
completion of the roadway behind the
seawall recently constructed be suffi-
ciently advanced; by this means giving
railroad car service between all the
docks now in course of construction
and those contemplated and the main
trunk railroad lines, and such adjacent
properties a s may be able to make rail

Since 1906 there has been a very
large use of the belt railway. Alto
