GREAT IRRIGATION
WORKNEARLY Done
Sacramento Valley Transformed
From Bonanza Farms to Era
of Intensive Cultivation

WILLOWS, Dec 16.-The great val
ley of the Sacramento has long been
known as the home of the big bonanza
grain rancho and one of the greatest
agricultural sections of the west. Here
it was in 1880 when one county alone.
Colusa, produced more than 100000
bushels of wheat, per cent of the en-
tire crop of the United States. Here,
too. the late DR.. H. ]. Glenn, really the
king of all these big bonanza farmers,
on his own holdings of nearly $4,000
acres raised in a single season almost
100000 bushels of wheat
Conditions have at last changed The
awakening has come and soon this part
of this great valley, where the wheat
barons have so long held sway. will
come into it's own. This new Caltfor-
MIA is fast being subdivided and soon
these vast ranches will be one pano-
rama of green alfalfa fields, orange
groves, peach orchards and various
other fruits and vegetables, with here
and there delightful and happy homes.
Eastern capitalists saw the opportun-
ity and although they only entered the
field in 1905 most remarkable devel-
opment has already taken place. The
Sacramento Valley irrigation company,
an organization capitalized at $4,000
600 and financed by J. S. and X S.
Kuhn, investment bankers of Pitts
burg, Pa, is the organization carrying
on this great work.
They own more than 10000 acres of
this deep, rich valley land. The water
supply is derived from the Sacramento
river and authorized by special act of
congress.
This company has already expended
more than s6,00O,000 and nothing is be-
ing left undone toward making this
Undertaking one of the greatest irri-
CATION systems of the west.
Already a large acreage is fully
ready for water and by April the total
canals, laterals and drains constructed
will be SUFFICIENT to fully supply $4,000
acres.
Roads are constructed around each
$50 acre tract. The distributing later
ais are built so as to deliver water to
the highest boundary of each 40 acre
tract. and as they build their canals
and laterals they are also building a
very elaborate drainage system, some-
thing never before undertaken.
Already about 10000 acres have been
sold and many new homes have been
built and many others are in course
of construction.

Prosperity

r. T. Shannon. the Richmond realty
dealer. with offices in the Russ build
ing. in an interview this week summed
up important events that have oc-
CURED recently. as follows:
The San Francisco Call and other city
papers of the last week have announced
some of the most momentous transac-
tions centering in and around Richmond
that have occurred during her short
career
NO other improvement for San Fran
cisco bay could be of greater or more
far reaching Importance than the locat-
ing of the government dry docks at
Richmond.
additional proof of our harbor CLAIMS
have been presented to congress by
Congressman J. r. Knowland.
Still one more great transaction is
recorded for the last week, and the
finger Of destiny points 10 Richmond.
The Borax King controls the Key Route
and the big Cutting boulevard is the
key TO Richmond. running through our
property. BY coupling I'D these de-
velopments any one should be able to
understand what the coming year or
two has in store for San Francisco's

new SUBDIVISION

Mission Terrace Will Be Pic
turesque Part of City
When Built Up

The largest subdivision of close in
city property that has been made in
the last Is years in San Francisco is
about to be opened up by Baldwin &
Howell
The property consists of approxi-
mately 400 lots along San Jose avenue,
just south of Sunnyside, and Judging
from the plans shown. will be one of
the most beautiful of the many attrac-
tive subdivisions around the bay.
San Jose avenue will be widened,
paved, curbed and sidewalked along the
entire frontage and "a new street called
Santa Rosa avenue is being built
through the middle of the property con-
Meeting Crook street with San Jose
avenue, forming a much needed cross
town throughfare in this section of the
city.
The tract viii be called Mission ter
race and has been planned along Mis-
sion lines. All streets will be paved.
Cement sidewalks are being built
throughout the entire piece Nothing
In the way Of expense has been spared
to make the property attractive as a
high class residential district and judg-
ing from the inquiry being made for
lots and the interest that is developing.
the sale. when announced, will be a rec
ord breaker.
I'VE have figured on offering the
public something of this sort for many
years" said ]. r. Howell yesterday.
but until recently we were unable to
get just what we wanted. The Mission
is climatically the most delightful place
in which to live In San Francisco and
we shall soon be able to announce the
completion of tract of so acres, pro-
tected by building restrictions and
beautified by winding boulevards and
parking spaces"
Howell stated that in all probability
Mission terrace would be ready for the
market some time in January. Contrac-
tors have been busy with the street
work for the last three or four months
1t is Baldwin & Howell's idea to en-
courage as far as possible the erection
of homes of the old Mission type. In
somuci1 as the property will be sold
to home seekers and building contrac-
tors in preference to spectators. the
tract should develop rapidly and within
another year be one of the residential
show places of San Francisco
Baldwin & Howell handled the sub
division of Preside terrace and al
though Mission terrace lots will not be
held at such high figures, builders will
be expected to beautify their holdings
in similar manner.

people here in California can hardly
realize the variety of resources of that
interior northland. Its agricultural
wealth probably exceeds its mineral
resources
The climate. contrary to the general
idea, is not extreme. but comparatively
mild. Fort George and the upper Fra
ger river GALLEY are sheltered from the
severe weather of the northern plains
country by the main range OF the
Rocky mountains.
The Canadian government Is en-
couraging the settlement OF this coun-
try by admitting settlers effects duty

there to take up farms and are plan
ming to go in large colonies this spring
are about equally divided between Can
adams and Americans.
They are going from California, the
north Pacific states and the middle
west They are a class of people who
are builders and developers
Without doubt they will repeat the
city building and country land culture
that was the result of the influx into
the Spokane country 20 years ago.
