VALUE OF PUB
LICITY ILLUSTRATED

No wonder California receives N
many immigrants. The supervisors Of
every county appropriate large sums
annually for advertising in local ana
eastern publications and even to main-
tain exhibits and agencies in New
York and other places. In addition
to county appropriations the people
generally, especially land owners and
business men. contribute large sums.
Sacramento has a fund of $780, 900 with
an annual guarantee Of $4,000.
One result of this campaign Of pub.
lieity was the recent visit Of q mum.
Der Of Pittsburg and other eastern
miilionaires, bankers, etc., to the Sac.
ramento valley for a personal inspec-
tion OF several large tracts Of land,
They were so well pleased that they
closed deals on the spot for several
pieces of land and paid down more than
one million dollars to the owners. The
Haggin tract is now about to be clos
ed out to another group Of capitalists
for about $2,000,00O. Some Of these
lands brought the high price of $3.50 an
acre, but the syndicate expects to cut
it up into small farms and sell at an
advance of so to 100 per cent profit.
Even at that price, considering the net
cash yield of the land, it comes cheap
to the small farmer. But look at the
profits of capitalists. No doubt the
most of the money is bank depositss up-
on which only four or five per cent Il
paid, while under the U. 8. postal saw.
ings bank law they would pay but
three and one-half per cent.
In a few years more low priced good
land will all be bought up by "syn-
dicates, even in Nevada. Now is the
time for homeseekers to get in while
they can get good Nevada homes free.
If county officers have no power to use
portion Of the county funds for pub.
licity work, then the state should do
something in the way Of an appropria-
tion for each county. New citizens
mean more taxes for county and state
which would soon overbalance the cost
of publicity.
Other states are at work.

COMMERCIAL TRAVELLER MEErs
WITH PAINFUL ACCIDENT

At an early hour this morning =
New York commercial traveller named

Pacific station just as No. was pull

to open the door or arouse anyone ON
the inside at that early hour. After
the train had gone q mile, Crawford
realized that he would not be able to
hold on much longer, so he jumped to
the ground, spraining his left ankle.
He made his way back to town as best
he could, arriving at the station as No.

fire in a pile of hammocks and mat

the blaze was extinguished in few
minutes, without having caused any
serious damage.
The smokestack from the furnace
comes up through the flooring at the
point mentioned, forming an elbow
and passing into the crockery room,
leaving an exposure of perhaps two
feet. The hammocks and mattresses
had been piled over this elbow and
ignited. Fortunately the fire was dis.
covered before it had gained headway

TO BUILD A CITY.
Mrs. Sage Plans Establishment of a
Real "Spotless Town"

New York. Nov. 25.-Preliminary
plans of the Russell Sage foundation,
established by Mrs. Russell Sage as
memorial to her husband, for the
establishment of a model suburban
city, providing healthful and beautiful
homes for persons oftmoderate means,
have been announced.
Briefly, the project is to utilize a
tract of 142 acres in Forest Hills gar
dens, Long Island, nine miles from
New York city, in laying out a town
of 1900 families. The initial financial
expenditures for the purpose, it is an
nounced, now amount to $2,25O,000
Through this announcement it is
made plain that the enterprise is not a
charity, but it is to be made self sup
porting and yield a fair return on the
| investment. Its purpose is to enable
persons in moderate circumstances to
own their own homes at a minimum
cost, while obtaining buildings of bet
ter construction than the average in
dividual could erect. and amid sur
roundings and under restrictions that
will make the little city an ideal resi-
dence place.
The minimum cost of paying for a
home there, it is estimated. will be $25
| month, including principal and in
terest.
For the present, laboring men whose
wages are small, will not benefit di-
rectly from Mrs. Sage's enterprise. The
cost of land in Forest Hill, it is ex-
! planned, precludes provision for the
working class Intimation taht they
will be cared for later, however, is
given in the trustees statement.
Forest Hill gardens is to be a real
"spotless town. as nearly as money
and skill can make it, according to the
announcement. It has been laid out
by a landscape gardener and it's archi-
tectural development will be scrutin-
lied by an expert. Applicants for
homes will have to submit to examina-
tions as to their characters and ante
cedentS.
The present plans contemplate the
opening of the model town early next
year.

caused a bright light between the tree

water on the tree. He probably did not
