SECOND EXCURSION
TOTHE TEHUANTEPEC
First Trains of colonists Occupy 5000
Acres-Tract on Market Only a
Week-Region of Wild
Orange

Another excursion of land buyers will
leave Los Angeles May 4 for lands in
the Huimanguillo section of the isthmus
of Tehuantepec, handled by the Mexico
Tropical Lands company, S41 South Hill
street. Los Angeles.
The first excursion was sent down
April 2, and word comes that more
than 5000 acres were sold, although the
tract had only been on the market a
week.
The great interest Los Angeles per-
sons are taking in tropical lands is
probably due to the fact that local
citrus growers are just beginning to
realize that there is country where
the orange growing wild in it's native
forests, under cultivation, results in
product with which the transplanted
product cannot compare.
In this tropical land 1T is known that
there are no frostS. that no cultivation
is required, no fertilization needed, and
that the freight rate to the great mar
kets is reduced to a minimum, being
not one-third as much as from Los An.
geles.
Under these conditions and with
these facts before them persons have,
growing desire to look further into
the matter. especially as the profits on
investments will be great as the land is
still selling at colonization rates Of
Ss.75 an acre.

INGLEWOOD RANCHO
SALES GROW RAPIDLY

The sales at Inglewood rancho for
the past week have been very satisfac-
tory. One day alone over twenty acres
were sold, and throughout the week the
sales have been excellent.
Building operations are undeviated,
twenty-six houses being already COM
pleted and new houses started each
week.
Quite a portion of this property is
already planted to alfalfa, and is now
ready for harvesting. With six or
seven cuttings a year alfalfa will yield
to 8 per cent yearly on the invest
ment.
An advantage of this property which
has not been before emphasized is the
beauty of the car ride to the rancho.
From the city the car line runs through
one of the best residence districts and
also through one of the prettiest
suburbs between the city and the
beach.
The additional acreage which the
company found it necessary to place on
the market is selling rapidly. One of
our best recommendations is the entire
satisfaction of all of the purchasers.
The sales for the past week, amount
ing to $1S,175, are as follows:
One lost, M. Williamson. $500; four
lots, Julius Schultz. $500; one lot,
Fred Whipple, $500; five lots, James

is believed that the output of grain
from over 10000 acres farmed there
without irrigation can be increased %
per cent by the application of modern
methods suggested at the congress.
The average yield in the past from
wheat, oats and barley has been about
SIG an acre, but last season oats pro-
duced up to $SS, wheat $45 and barley
hay $50 an acre, farmed dry. Many
farmers have paid for their land in two
crops.
Optimistic Fruit Estimate
Optimistic estimates are being made
on this years fruit crop, especially APP
pies. the figures showing prospective
yield from all orchards of $4,000. Due
to heavy rains, the grain and hay out
put is placed at 20 per cent above last
years output of $130.000, while honey.
peanuts and olive oil will each show
moderate gains. Apples are beginning
to bloom and growers are already re-
ceiving inquiries from many parts of

HARQUA HALA VALLEY
WILL SOON BE READY
LAND PROJECT LIES NEAR
SALOME GOLD STRIKE
Stampede to Mining Camp and vicins
ity Assures Sufficient Market for
Products of Proposed
Farming District

Word comes in from the works of the
Harqua Hala Development company's
new irrigation project, near Salome on
the Parker cut off, also the scene of the
recent great gold strike, that they will
soon be ready with the water which is
again to transform this valley into a
paradise of sub-tropic verdure. bitches
uncovered show that the ancient Toll
tees, a race long since extinct, used
water here to irrigate their land.
When the project was first contem-
plated, expert engineers estimated they
would be able to secure about 10000
inches of water; but now that they are
actually down into the subterranean
stream and accurately measured, they
find they have more than $4,000 inches
of pure water flowing at the rate of
twenty-five feet to the minute, or suffi-
Glen to irrigate 100000 acres govern
nent land which lies under the dam.
This land is being rapidly taken, and
business men are looking on with much
as this valley will be tributary
to Los Angeles in a commercial way,
as it is seventy-five miles nearer here
than is Phoenix.
A representative of the company is
now here securing material to com
plete the plant, and by September
they expect to have everything ready
for irrigating. Locations in this valley
will be especially sought after by per-
sons desiring an invigorating climate,
owing to it's altitude of 1900 feet as
surfing comfortable days and restful
nights.
Located as it is i'm the midst of three
great ranges of mountains literally
teeming with rich minerals, 1t will be
attractive to the miner, and will afford
home market for all the new farms will
produce. Those interested will find the
companys representative, j. w.
