BRINGING INVESTORS
TO PACIFIC COAST
STRONG COLONIZATION COM
PANY is AT WORK
Tract of 25o,ooo Acres In Sacramento
Valley for settlement-Branch
Office Opened In City
of Los Angeles

One of the largest land selling organ
izations in this country is now engaged
in colonizine California. The Sacra-
mento Valley Irrigation company, of
which H. L. Hollister is the head, and
whose main office is in Chicago, has
taken over tract of 250,000 acres in the
Sacramento valley and is opening up
the Jaclnto unit of 10000 acres for set
tlement.
1t is stated that this great organiza-
tion does things on a large scale and
with abundant resources. Already they
have issued what is undoubtedly the
handsomest book on California ever
published, a 4S-page magazine-size
prospectus, superbly illustrated in col
ors and half-tones, with matter elo-
quently descriptive of Californias re-
sources and the opportunities offered
here for investment, home building and
settlement
The offices of H L. Hollister in the
Home Insurance building at Chicago
are probably the largest and most COM
plete of any devoted to land selling i'll
the United States. Besides the execu-
tive offices, there are departments de-
voted to advertising, correspondence,
and q large force of statesmen and
clerks is employed. In one large room
is maintained a continual exhibit of
products of the soil. massive paint
ing, costing $4,000, occupies one end of
the room, portraying the sacramento
valley in colors. Under it are grouped
California products. At the other end
of the room is a similar painting of
the Twin Falls region, with a corre-
spending exhibit of the products of
Idaho soil This exhibition is free, and
attracts thousands of visitors. 1t does
much to educate the eaSterner In the
possibilities of the western country,
and is one of the great object lessons
which avail to induce settlers to come
west.
Branch Offices Established
The company has three offices on the
coast, one at willows, Cal, which will
be the administration office in the field;
another in San Francisco, and the third
has just been opened at 505-6 Central
building, Los Angeles.
The Los Angeles office is in charge
of F. d. MacGoWan, and it is much
frequented by people who are desirous
of learning more about the project for
colonizing the great acreage in Glenn
and Colusa counties. Parties will be
made up here and sent north under
pilotage of the company to Willows,
where they will be the company's
guests while being shown the lands and
the irrigation system as installed.
Great activity is in evidence at Will
lows, where the company is erecting a
number of structures at cost of 100000
for their own use and the accommoda-
tion of land seekers. Contracts have
been let this week for the construction
of an administration building, a COM
missary and restaurant, with dormi-
tories, large building exclusively for
the land selling organization, and six
bungalows. Willows is reached by the
Shasta route of the Southern Pacific,

ABOUT the Chinese in general and then left.
Ihe Chfnaman signaed to a couple of men
across the street, who thereupon shadowed the
college man to his hotel 1t is not enough to
arrest smuggler; he must be taken at a
time and place that will uncover the contra
band goods that he happens to have on hand.
When the college man opened the door of
his room in response to a knock two men con-
fronted him. One of them blocked the closing
OF the door with his foot and the other reached
in and got the college man. Then they
searched his room and found the opium, which
was clearly contraband because 1t lacked the
stamp that Uncle Sam puts the duty-paid
article.
The college man got a term of years and
the Chinaman got his "moiety." "Moiety" In
this instance. Is what the court awards the
man who puts smuggler and smuggled goods
within the reach of the law. Its size depends
largely upon the value of the goods seized
The courts are inclined to be generous how
ever and the "moiety" for smuggled opium
not infrequently has reached thousand or
two thousand dollars.
The college stuck to the business too
long. which is a failing of most smugglers. 1t
is SO easy at first that they think It will al
ways be just as easy, quite forgetting that
the dangers and difficulties increase with each
trip; for man cannot cross the border often
without becoming object OF suspicion. So
Uncle Sam usually gets the smuggler in the
end, although 1t occasionally happens that the
latter is frightened out Of the business before
he is caught.
There is of Winnipeg man, for In
stance. who was member Of a firm that dealt
largely in opium. The Winnipeg sales were
not sufficient for this firm. and, besides, there
was something alluring in the price at which
opium could be sold the other side of the
line. Men would cheerfully contract in Win
nipeg for opium at this price-if 1t could be
delivered in the United States-and the firm
went into the business Of SO delivering It,

These stories, and particularly the story OF

For one thing. contrary to the popular belief.
the Chinaman does not engage In tat least
not directly. He is usually back of it.
The story of a sensational case at Seattle
will illustrate this. 1t relates to the days
when there was big enough profit in opium
smuggling to warrant Wholesale business
before the reduction of duty made 1t SO much
of a one-man enterprise-and there feet
of small boats operating in Puget sound. Also
there a United States inspector engaged
In the business He reasoned that he there
to watch others but that there was no one to
watch him. which is where he made his mis-
take, for he was caught one night In launch
with $4,000 worth of the stun.
Immediately there great excitement In
Chinatown. No Chinaman was on the launch
but nevertheless Chinatown was SO desper
ately worried that some of the leading mer
chants met in haste and put up the amount
OF the inspectors bond. He might tell some
thing, you know; he might uncover those be-
hind him-those who were putting up the
money and taking the opium. 1t was much
better that they should lose both the opium
and the amount Of the bond and that he should
have chance to skip. They did lose both
and he did skip. but it Is worth remembering
that he was brought back from Mexico some
time later. He also stuck to the business too

Paul But he was too cautious to stios
to one method of smuggling and what
went through In Pullman car was
merely incidental to what crossed tho
line in other ways. He sent 1t over In

commodities. Hunting for opium In

In the open" season this man was
also a great sportsman and his hunting
was all done close to the border. A
man in search OF prairie chickens may
drive from Manitoba into North Da-
kota at almost any point along the line
and there is nothing in It to occasion
surprise He kept SO close to the line
that he was always getting over 1t.
Just what aroused the suspicious OF
the United States officers I am unable
to say, but one day one of them was
waiting for the hunter. Unfortunately
for the officer. 1t is all prairie here and
the hunter saw him. Furthermore.
there was something about the situa-
tion that made the hunter suspicious
and he promptly turned and headed
back for Canada. The ofiicer started
after him. The hunter urged his horse
to run and 1t Is asserted in Winni-
peg that his cart bumped the bumps

stock and announced that. SO far as he
was concerned, the firm had retired

smuggled cigars
This is worth remembering in the caae of
the college youth. If his Vancouver friend had
suggested that he make expenses by cheating
a storekeeper or ffmfamming a farmer, there
would nave been an Immediate estrangement
and probably fight. But to beat Uncle Sam
did not disturb his conscience in the least
That was merely game. an interesting game
In which he matched his wits against the gov

easy that he did 1t again. Why 20 to the
trouble of looking for modest business op-
portunity when 1t was possible to make from
100 10 200 per cent. on money briefly invested
and have so much fun doing It?
The college man did not go again to Van
couver, but he went to Winnipeg Regina
Moose Jaw and to other towns that were
nearer Chicago. He used various routes and
resorted to various schemes for getting his
stun over the line. He used Neche and Emer-
son, both almost due south from Winnipeg
He brought opium over the line in the bottom
of coal box and concealed almost other
place that the ingenuity of complacent rail-
road man could suggest. He brought it over
with horse and buggy, taking the train again
far enough south to escape the train inspec-
tion. He had occasional assistance on both
sides of the line tfor the game of beating the
government Is always alluring) but he brought
the stun over the line himself. He tried al
most every possible method and place along
the border between Portal and Emerson and
because he changed methods and places fire.
quently he made things quite interesting in a
small way for Uncle Sam. 1t is one thing to
know. with reasonable certainty that man
is engaged in an unlawful business and quite
another to catch him In the act and get the
requisite proof. So Uncle Sam had reason to
give some thought to this case.
But day the college man ambled into
Chinese store South Clark street, Chi
cago. and offered to sell some opium He
never had sold any here before. Just why he
should have tried It this time / can't say. for
he certainly had other markets. but there
doubtless was some that seemed to

poultry departments, which are in sep
arate buildings, also bid fair to be fine.
At the opening Tuesday there was

WHITE SLAVE CRUSADE
DOES GOOD IN CHICAGO

CHICAGO, Nov. 15.-That 1000 panders
have been driven out Of Chicago, besides
many convicted in the crusade against
the white slave traffic which was inau-
gurated in the spring of 1903, is the es-
innate made by Clifford G. Roe, in a re-
port to the White Slave Traffic COM
mittee for the year ending October l.,
1910.
Through Mr.. Roe the committee has
investigated 34S cases, of which 81 result
ed in prosecution. OF the persons prose-
cuted, So were convicted. Two addition
al convictions have been obtained since
October 1.
Prosecutions and convictions, however,
do not begin to measure the good that
this work has done, according to Mr..

gagged in the traffic left Chicago in order
