To furnish information to eastern people, who have already commenced to stream into California seeking homes in a country and climate where they can recover and maintain their health, and where they can avoid the extremes of heat and cold, I will attempt to describe and locate the most desirable agricultural land of the Southern Coast Counties. As these lands are (with the exception of a few secluded valleys of small importance) entirely included in a belt of land lying between the coast range and the sea, will confine my attention to them, as the land east of the mountains is, generally speaking, not adapted to anything except pasturage for sheep and cattle, and cannot therefore be properly classed as agricultural lands. This belt commences with the north line of San Luis Obispo county, about ten miles north-west from San Simeon bay, and extends to the southern limit of the county at the mouth of the Santa Maria, and has varying width of from 3 to 15 miles, composed principally of undulating foot hills; which, as they approach the sea gradually subside into comparatively level mesa or stable lands, crossed occasionally by some stream flowing westerly from the coast furnishes water for irrigation, which is also obtained from overflowing artesian wells, some of which yield abundantly. At the head of the Santa Clara valley, the seabreeze having become tempered, the culture of semi tropical plants is successful. Between this valley and the valleys of Los Angeles county, a broad and lofty range of mountains intervene, extending to the coast, and the stage road, to avoid these mountains, continues up the Santa Clara valley, and thence into the Simi valley, which is of large extent, but not possessing sufficient water for irrigation, is used for pasturage. Crossing a steep and rocky ridge you enter the San Fernando valley, ten by eighteen miles in extent. Shut in by hills it is protected from the sea fogs, and is one of the few places in the southern part of the State where wheat can be successfully cultivated. The soil of most of this valley is very fertile, and in parts of it, springs furnish abundance of water for irrigation. As the Los Angeles river rises in and derives all of its water from this valley, it is a natural presumption that a large portion of it can be irrigated by artesian wells; a matter of great importance, as an abundant supply of water for irrigation is an essential in the culture of semi-tropical fruits. All those portions of the San Fernando valley in which water can be obtained for irrigation, will be found as This belt commences with the north line of San Luis Obispo county, about ten miles north-west from San Simeon bay, and extends to the southern limit of the county at the mouth of the Santa Maria, and has varying width of from 3 to 15 miles, composed principally of undulating foot hills which, as they approach the sea gradually subside into comparatively level mesa or stable lands, crossed occasionally by some stream flowing westerly from the coast range, with its narrow border of rich and moist bottom land. A valley of one to three miles wide, extends longitudinally through this belt, (with some unimportant interruptions) from the northern to the southern line of the county. The soil is generally rich and productive and although considerable portion is devoted to grain is found that dairying and sheep are more profitable; but little grain is raised for export, most of it being required for some consumption. The famous Steele cross, dairies are located in the central portion of this belt, near the town of San Luis Obispo. Steamers land regularly at San Simeon Bay and San Luis landing twice each month. SANTA BARBARA COUNTY. The north-westerly part of this county rough and broken spurs and ridges from the mountains crossing the coast belt, extend to the coast. Between these ridges however, are some very fertile valleys, equal in productiveness to anything found in the State. Owing, however, to the absence of any convenient shipping facilities, this country must remain what it is at present—exclusively pastoral. The climate on the coast from Point Conception, (the western limit of the valley of Santa Barbara), to San Simeon Bay, (the northern limit of this belt) is cool and bracing; adriably adapted for healthy and robust people, and is also much resorted to by those whose health has been broken by the malarious fevers of the San Joaquin Valley. A residence of six months or a year, since ever tails to effect a cure. Santa Barbara Valley proper, extends from the Gaviota Pass to Carpenteria, a distance of about 40 miles, and consists of belt of mesa land, tolerably level, varying from one to two miles in width. The town of Santa Barbara occupies a central position in this valley, and is remarkable being the only town in Southern California that is built directly on the coast, where at other places being located a few miles back, to avoid the somewhat too porous sea breeze, which usually acquires milder and more pleasant temperature, over passing over a few miles of land; but the coast at Santa Barbara trends due east and west, the sea breeze blows along not on the shore Santa Barbara envelopes a delightful climate, and has become The soil of most of this valley is very fertile, and in parts of it, springs furnish abundance of water for irrigation. As the Los Angeles river rises in and derives all of its water from this valley, it is a natural presumption that a large portion of it can be irrigated by artesian wells; a matter of great importance, as an abundant supply of water for irrigation is an essential in the culture of semi-tropical fruits. All those portions of the San Fernando valley in which water can be obtained for irrigation, will be found as well adapted for that purpose, as any lands in Los Angeles county. Following down the Los Angeles river, by the route of the S.P.R.R. from San Fernando Pass (all railroads must pass through San Fernando valley), we come to the city of Los Angeles, famous for its orange groves. Proceeding east we pass through San Gabriel Mission, equally famous for its orange groves and vines, and beyond is the well known valley of El Monte which is located in the very bed of the San Gabriel river. The water of which, after leaving the mountains, sinks in the sand; and after running under the fertile valley of El Monte, bursts fourth again in large and numerous springs, which, uniting form two streams—the New and Old San Gabriel, each pursuing its separate course to the sea. East of El Monte is the fertile valley of San Jose creek, an affluent of the San Gabriel, a valley with a charming climate, abundance of water, and not only well adapted to semi-tropicals, but also the only other valley of this county where wheat growing is certain. A range of low hills separates San Jose valley from the great valley of Southern California, which extends along the sea coast southeast by northwest, fifty miles in length by twenty miles in width—the true semi-tropical valley of this semi-tropical county. More than half of this valley is moist bottom land requiring nothing but good farming to produce good crops without irrigation. By means of the water of the rivers and the water from artesian wells which are unfailing, and can be made to flow in those parts of the valley beyond the reach of the water of the rivers, almost the entire valley can be irrigated; thus making the fortunate inhabitants entirely independent of rain. The sea-breeze here, has lost the rough harshness of the northern coast, and its soft and tempered freshness is equally grateful to the robust lungs of the healthy as to the more delicate organs of the invalid. The different portions of this broad valley enjoy an infinite variety of climate. On the sea coast is found the cool and even temperature of San Diego, on the mesa land, near the hills, the air is dry and warm; and in the interval between The town of Santa Barbara occupies a central position in this valley, and is remarkable being the only town in Southern California that is built directly on the coast, the towns at other places being located a few miles back, to avoid the somewhat too gorous sea breeze, which usually acquires milder and more pleasant temperature, after passing over a few miles of land; but the coast at Santa Barbara trends due east and west, the sea breeze blows along, and not on the shore Santa Barbara envelops a delightful climate, and has become a place of resort for invalids, being admirably adapted to those cases that require a sedative, rather than a stimulating climate. The valley is principally composed of sea lands of medium fertility, being generally better adapted to the cultivation of vines and trees than to grain raising; however, on the La Patera rancho, ten acres west of Santa Barbara, there is a valley containing several thousand acres naturally moist, fertile valley land, apted to farming purposes, and about thirty miles east. at the Carpenteria, is also and a similar valley of small extent, ores, olives and almonds flourish admirably at Santa Barbara, not requiring irrigation, for which there are no facilities. San Buenaventura, the county seat of the new county of Ventura, is located about thirty miles southeast from Santa Barbara. The coast here having resumed ordinary southeast trend, the sea-breeze awaits on shore, and the same cool and frigid climate is found that prevails with Point Conception. There are two leys of fine land in this county, that of San Buenaventura river, which is of moderate extent, and also the noted Santa Ana valley, which contains a large body of fertile land naturally moist, and a soillar in character to that of the great Valley of Los Angeles county. Owing to fact that the climate is too cold, this valley is unsuited for semi-tropical protrusions, but it is almost adaptable to general farming. The Santa Clara river The sea-breeze here has lost the rough harshness of the northern coast, and its soft and tempered freshness is equally grateful to the robust lungs of the healthy as to the more delicate organs of the invalid. The different portions of this broad valley enjoy an infinite variety of climate. On the sea coast is found the cool and even temperature of San Diego, on the mesa land, near the hills, the air is dry and warm, and in the interval between the hills and the sea any desired shade of climate can be found. In this valley are located the towns of Wilmington and Compton on the L.A. and S.P.R.B., west of the San Gabriel river and in the western part of the valley. In Los Nietos—the intervale of the New and Old San Gabriel rivers, is the town of Gallatin, nestled in perpetual verdure, while on the east side of the Santa Ana, the largest river of the south are found the towns of Santa Ana, Tustin and Richland, each the centre of a thriving settlement. Between the Santa Ana and new San Gabriel rivers lies the centre and best part of the valley, and centrally located in this twenty miles square block we find the green hedges and productive vineyards of the thrifty settlement of Anaheim, the principal town of the valley, and evidently destined, from the nature of its surroundings, to remain so. Following up the Santa Ana river, in its passage through the hills (which in this country of mountains, are hardly worthy to be dignified by the name of the Santa Ana mountains), and lying northeast from Anaheim, a broad valley of immense extent opens before us, the valley of San Bernardino county. In the eastern corner of the valley, at the base of the lofty peak of the same name, lies the town of San Bernardino, in a verdant basin filled with running streams and spouting walls. If any fault is to be found with San Bernardino, it is that water is almost too abundant. On the east bank of the river, [CONTINUED ON NOOKLEE PAGE.]
