We can without fear of contradiction, that not only the best country but the climate in Southern California. Other in the southern part of the State excellent climates, but they have no try, or none worth speaking of; though they have convenient access sea, are, from their location, distant the projected and direct railroad which owing to the location of the passes through the mountain pass through this valley. All other are impracticable; and whilst they but a limited choice of climates, we a great variety of them, and all good On the sea coast the air is cool and ing, never cold or harsh. From ther every mile you advance toward the interior gives you a change of tempera air becoming sensibly dryer and milder you proceed.

Mr. Francis S. Miles, of New York, a confirmed consumptive for 15 years, after having tried for years the best known resorts of the South of France, and also those of South Carolina, Georgia and Florida, came to Southern California, and after residing several months in Santa Barbara, San Bernnardino and San Diego, has permanently settled himself near Anaheim, where he has purchased and is improving a large tract of land, having fully made up his mind that this is the best place he has found after fifteen years' search. Loading physicians always prescribe a dry, tonic and stimulating atmosphere, in all cases of deprived vitality; and Nice and Mentone, in the south of France, have been highly recommended for their excellence in that respect. Mr. Miles' observations at those places, continued for a long time made the average between the Wet and Dry bulb 54°, at Santa Barbara and San Diego it is about 41°. It will be seen by the preceding table; that the average of three winter months at Anaheim is 7°, which is the proportion of dryness that suits the majority of invalida.

Mr. Olden, agent of the Los Angelenan Bernardino Land Association, had before us a pamphlet, entitled in Los Angeles County," written itself, and published at the expense Company for distribution in the States. Mr. Olden, in his capacity agent, has had ample facilities for long thoroughly conversant with the land of this county, and the result of invitions should, in consequence, great weight.

Mentone, in the south of France, have been highly recommended for their excellence in that respect. Mr. Miles' observations at those places, continued for a long time made the average between the Wet and Dry bulb 54°, at Santa Barbara and San Diego it is about 41°. It will be seen by the preceding table, that the average of three winter months at Anaheim is 7°, which is the proportion of dryness that suits the majority of invalida. In this respect Anaheim possesses a decided advantage over Los Angeles. places only 27 miles apart, each are distant only 13 miles from the sea. The difference is probably owing to the fact that the sea breeze passes over 20 miles of land in reaching the former, whilst it only passes over 12 miles of land in reaching the latter. The soil at Anaheim is a sandy loam, always dry on the surface and never muddy; being retentive of moisture, there is but little evaporation; there is no malaria, and there are no epidemic or endemic diseases whatever. Physicians pronounce the country "lamentably healthy." This comparative statement of facts proves conclusively, that invalids need not look further to find a country and climate where, if not cured, they can at least prolong and enjoy the remainder of their life. LAND TITLES AND PRICES The title to the e lands is the very best being old Spanish grants, confirmed by U.S. Patent. Notwithstanding its fertility and many advantages, land is yet very cheap. Prices of unimproved land, clear and ready for the plow, range from $10 to $25 per acre. Farms, one-fourth cash, and one-fourth each year, for three years, with ten per cent. interest. These low prices, however, cannot continue long, as the completion of irrigating ditches, boring of artesian wells, the immediate construction of railroads, and consequent increase of population, must, as a natural result, cause a rapid increase of value. Intending purchasers should not delay, if they desire to buy cheap." Progress of Irrigation. It is gratifying to be assured that the great work of supplying a valuable and permanent system of irrigating ditches and canals in California is progressing favorably. Already forty miles of the San Joaquin and King's River Canal have been completed, and the farms through which it passes are reaping the benefits of its life-giving waters. Surveys have been made from Tulare Lake to a point near Antioch, a distance of two hundred miles, and further surveys are progressing. The company has published a notice that its books for the subscription of 75,000 out of the 100,-000 shares of $100 each are now open; stock to be subscribed for at the present cost price of the work done. No subscription will be received for more than 500 shares. Hospitality of Anaheim. W. J. Gurnett, of Oakland. Grand Instructor of the Order of Odd Fellows, in a letter written from Los Angeles, thus expresses himself regarding his reception at Anaheim: "I hardly know what to make of the Odd Fellows in this part of the country. They can excel all others in the reception of a stranger—a single instance will illustrate: Accompanied by Bros. Wartenberg, Benjamin, Smith, and five others, I held a session at Anaheim, and at the close of the meeting we were taken to the Planters' Hotel, kept by P. Gr. Flasher, where we sat down to as fine a dinner as I had ever seen; during which a band of music entertained us. Good cheer and a happy dime generally, was the word." All the Lodges are flourishing here, and I will state that this is the most beautiful part of California I have yet seen, and is well worth a visit to see the many attractions which abound in the vicinity of Los Angeles."
