J. K. TUFFREE. THE BEET-SUGAR SCHEME. Mr. Gennert is in Los Angeles, having returned from San Francisco on Monday. His plan to organize a company there has miscarried, owing, he says, to the opposition of the "sugar ring," which fears the success of his scheme. The Herald has the following in regard to the status of affairs now: Mr. Gennert proposes now to establish a beet sugar factory on a very moderate scale here in Los Angeles county, without any company or partnership of any kind, have the farmers raise the beets which he will work up on shares for the farmer and thus inaugurate a home industry free from stock jobbing and ring rule. The thousands of acres required under the first plan will be reduced to hundreds now; but should this plan work well, as we have no doubt it will, it may be duplicated next year indefinitely, because every locality could afford to have a factory which requires the investment of only four or five thousand dollars. The plan named, with very simple machinery, can only be successfully followed in the working of dried beets. It was adopted in Portland, Maine. The sugar making of dried beets worked very well, but the fuel and machinery for drying the beets more than counterbalanced the simplicity of the sugar machinery. As Mr. Gennert has a stock of genuine sugar beet seed in New York on hand, farmers who will join in the new plan can be supplied by him in four weeks, which is sufficient time for the earliest land. Farmers who are too far distant or not inclined to have their crops worked on shares can secure sufficient seed to try and satisfy themselves what they can do in the sugar beet line for another year, when this first establishment will be followed by many others here in our county. Public attention being now directed to the beet sugar mill at Alvarado, in Alameda county, Mr. H. R. Hanna, of the GAZETTE A HUGE SWINDLE. We last week published an advertisement of the Denver Land Company, but we have withdrawn it. The reason therefor is given in the following telegram: DENVER, Nov. 8.—Sydney A. Grant, late of Cincinnati, and A. F. Wilson were arrested to day for conducting a fraudulent scheme through the mails under the name of "The Denver Land Company," and taken before the United States Commissioner. They waived examination and were committed, bonds not being given, and will probably go to jail. The scheme was planned in Cincinnati. Store-type plates were prepared and had been inserted in over eight hundred first-class newspapers and periodicals in the northern, eastern and middle States. Grant came to Denver to secure land for the purpose, and bought nearly a thousand acres in the sand hills forty miles north of Denver in another county, which was platted and recorded as North Denver. Although known here but a few days, a perfect avalanche of mail matter commenced coming for S. A. Grant and the Denver Land Company. The fraud was denounced by local newspapers and bitterly condemned by citizens. The Postmaster reported to the department, and last night received orders to deliver no registered letters and to pay no money orders to Grant. The arrest was made by a special agent. Our readers will see the propriety of turning a deaf ear to the blandishments of the Denver Land Company. The pledge to accept a smaller salary than that allowed by law, which the working men's candidates in San Francisco subscribed to, is likely to be a bar to the successful candidates assuming their offices. Judge Wright, of the County Court, has decided that the taking of such a pledge is a species Correspondence Orange Items. The rain storm of Saturday night and Sunday has made glad the hearts of our citizens, for notwithstanding our admiration for the sunny skies of Southern California we have not entirely forgotten the rain storms of our eastern homes, and the refreshing sweetness exhaled from every tree, plant and flower after being washed and invigorated by gentle summer rains. Although we experience none of the depressing and enervating atmospheric influences which are the invariable concomitants of the dry and "heated terms" of summer east of the mountains, yet after our long, rainless season an approaching storm followed by the drenching rain fills us with fresh animation, lifting the clouds of gloom, causing the lite pulses to beat more free, and inspiring the soul with new buoyancy and joy. The amount of rainfall is variously estimated at from two to two and one-half inches. Many of our farmers are now busy plowing and sowing barley, planting potatoes, etc. Now is the time to set out trees, hedges, shrubbery, etc., and many of our citizens are already improving their places in this direction. A good variety of small fruits, at least a sufficient amount for family supply, such as blackberries, raspberries, strawberries, currants, etc. should not be neglected or forgotten. If all persons—especially in this semi-tropical climate—would live more generally on fruit and nuts and discard meat altogether they would never have occasion to regret it. Invalid suffering from chronic illness would be naturally benevolent.

Farmers who are too far distant or not included to have their crops worked on shares can secure sufficient seed to try and satisfy themselves what they can do in the sugar beet line for another year, when this first establishment will be followed by many others here in our county. Public attention being now directed to the beet sugar mill at Alvarado, in Alameda county, Mr. H. R. Hanna, of the GAZETTE office, wrote to a friend at Alvarado making certain inquiries, and from the letter received in reply we take the following extracts: The sugar beets are raised from seed furnished by the Sugar Company for 20 cts per pound, under a contract, the price paid this year being $4 per ton, which is quite cheap. The Company will have to pay $450 or $5 next year. Farmers deliver them (green) at the mill with tops closely cut off. Fifteen or sixteen tons per acre may be considered an average yield. Rich, sandy soil will raise twenty tons or even more, but high and dry ground will not give over 12 or 14 tons. They are planted with a machine, five rows at a time, eighteen inches apart. The Company here has contracted for about eleven hundred acres, which will give them beets enough to run for six or eight months. The mill is now using about fifty tons per day. The beets contain about 14 per cent of sugar, being about a barrel of sugar to a ton of beets. They are turning out some splendid sugar. I see no apparent reason why it should not be a success, although there never has been a successful sugar mill in the United States. By successful, I mean one that paid. Time required for transformation from beets to sugar is fourteen hours. I notice in the papers several reports from your section of country by Mr. Gennert. A mill cannot be made to pay with sun dried beets. Yours truly, F. B. GRANGER JR. The agitation of the beet-sugar industry throughout the United States is alarming our Southern friends and filling them with gloomy torebodings in regard to the future of the cane sugar business. The New Orleans Times has the following doleful utterances: From three to three and a half pounds of brown, claiminy sugar is a miserable result from one hundred pounds of cane which ought to have yielded seven pounds or more of the brightest and purest granulated sugar. Anybody who puts wrong notions into the heads of our planters, or who lulls them into deceptive dreams of false security, who obstructs their progress, or by desultory measures of ephemeral relief helps to cripple the financial resources of the people, is the worst enemy our sugar planters can now have. The time, which might have been foreseen, when if not entirely abrogated, the monopoly of sugar-making had been divided amongst many, is near at hand. There will be a northern beside a southern sugar interest much more rapid in its growth than anything which could be opposed to it; because: There is an unlimited amount of capital at the disposal of the rising industry of beet-sugar-making, while we can scarcely hope to attract foreign capital hereafter. The machinery for the manufacture of beet root sugar has reached a point so very near perfection—good beets yield from nine to ten percent—that compared to it The pledge to accept a smaller salary than that allowed by law, which the working men's candidates in San Francisco subscribed to, is likely to be a bar to the successful candidates assuming their offices. Judge Wright, of the County Court, has decided that the taking of such a pledge is a species of bribery, intended to influence the votes of electors, and is therefore a criminal offence for which the codes prescribe a punishment. This decision was rendered on a demurrer, and now a jury trial will be had, the defendants being Dunn, Desmond and other officials elect. At a recent sand lot meeting held to denounce Judge Wright's ruling, Denis Kearney got off his usual farrago of nonsense. He advised the immediate organization of military companies by the Workingmen, and declared that they intended to seat their candidates if they had to cut the throats of the thieves who sought to keep them out. It is only a few weeks since the GAZETTE-balled attention to the peculiar character of some of the imports into California—peculiar in that they were articles which, under a proper order of things, ought to be exported from instead of imported into our State. In the enumeration referred to there were mentioned hams, lard, willow baskets, cheese, boots, shoes, and other articles which one would suppose that California stands in little need of. But to cap the climax, an invoice of four hundred cases of canned corn was recently received in San Francisco from Maine. These cans will be put on the grocer's shelf and sold to consumers at 37 or 50 cents each, and at the same time the granaries of Southern California are tilled to overflowing with corn for which there is no remunerative market. The new Constitution provides that the directors or trustees of corporations and joint stock associations shall be jointly and severally liable to the creditors and stockholders for all moneys embezzled or misappropriated by the officers of such corporation or joint stock association during the term of office of such directors or trustees. To avoid this provision, an agreement is being signed by the stockholders of one of the largest banks in San Francisco waiving such liability on the part of the directors, unless such embezzlement or misappropriation shall be a result of corporation collusion or negligence of such director or directors as may be or ought to be made liable for such embezzlement or misappropriation. Other banks are about to pursue the same course. A man named James Kelly was accused in the San Francisco Police Court of pocket picking. The prosecution established the fact that he had been caught with the night received orders to deliver no registered letters and to pay no money orders to Grant. The arrest was made by a special agent. Our readers will see the propriety of turning a daf ear to the blandishments of the Denver Land Company.

There will be a northern beside a southern sugar interest much more rapid in its growth than anything which could be opposed to it; because: There is an unlimited amount of capital at the disposal of the rising industry of beet-sugar-making, while we can scarcely hope to attract foreign capital hereafter. The machinery for the manufacture of beet root sugar has reached a point so very near perfection—good beets yield from nine to ten per cent. of sugar—that compared to it our sugar industry appears in its infancy, if not in its dotage. Beyond the protection which all sugar producers share alike, the beet root sugar industry is especially favored by Congressional legislation, in so far that all machinery can be imported free of duty. The machinery for cultivating beets is so perfected, too, that even the cleanest and most careful cultivation can be given to them without an excessive amount of costly labor by hand. There is an inexhaustible supply of the finest seed always to be had at short notice. The best methods of planting, manuring and storing the beet—all unsettled questions as far as cane is concerned—have been thoroughly studied and ascertained. Any number of intelligent laborers can be had to work upon the comparatively healthy farms in the eastern and northern States. At the present low price of grain, eastern farmers are compelled to look for something more profitable to cultivate. The following extract is from the New York Sun of a recent date: Sugar beets have been cultivated with success on the Eschol Brook farm at Pikesville, Maryland, from seed brought from Germany. The beets yield twelve per cent of saccharine matter, and a German manufacturing firm have offered to build a mill for making sugar, and bring skilled workers if a guarantee is given that at least two thousand acres shall be planted yearly for their use. They will contract for the whole crop at $5 a ton. Good land will produce 30 tons of beets per acre, and the prospects are that the factory will be in operation in time to use next year's crop. As the official count of the votes cast at the recent New York election is proceeded with, the result shows better for the Republicans than was at first supposed. They probably elect nearly all the State officers, but the vote is so close that the official announcement must be awaited to learn anything definite. A man named James Kelly was accused in the San Francisco Police Court of pocket picking. The prosecution established the facts that he had been caught with the purse in his hand and that he had made a desperate resistance upon being arrested. To rebut this testimony, the defence showed, 1st, that the accused was a member of Kalloch's church; 2nd, a professional phrenologist testified that the formation of Kelly's head precluded the possibility of his stealing anything. Notwithstanding the seeming invincibility of this defence, Kelly was adjudged guilty of petty larceny. The only reply the Sacramento Record-Union has made to our detailed statement of the success of the Anaheim colony is published in its issue of the 8th inst. It tacitly admits the splendid success achieved here, but wants information about colonies "not so old as the Anaheim colony." The only objection we have to the course of the Record-Union in this matter is that it did not except Anaheim from its original sweeping denunciation of California colonies. It must have known how matters stood here, and knowing, ought to have proclaimed the fact. San Diego, Nov. 8.—George B. Wilbur and L. G. Pratt of Boston, Directors and Managers of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad Company arrived here this morning, in company with W. R. Morley, their Chief Engineer, to complete negotiations for making San Diego their western terminus. They have made arrangements to put a corps of engineers in the field on the direct Eastern route on Monday next. After an examination of the lands donated by the city and property owners, together with the bay, they expressed themselves well pleased. The indications are that active operations in railroad building will soon take place upon this coast. Garden Grove Items. A picnic party to the beach was in order for Saturday. Nearly the entire settlement was represented at the Landing, and, as is usual with this social people, a general good time was enjoyed. From the "oldest inhabitant" down to the new-comer, all declared it the most complete success of the season, as to the display of culinary skill, the perfection of the day, the beauties of the place and its surroundings, and the bilarity of those who formed the party. And, best of all, it proved a blessing to the entire county; for, as a result, the rain came down in torrents that night, and continued for about fourteen successive hours to pour fertility into the dry ground, and joy and hope into despondent hearts. Possibilities of wheat and sugar beets begin to assume definite shape and are no longer the delusive shadows they have seemed. A meeting has been held in the school house to discuss the latter question; committees appointed to investigate the feasibility and security of their culture, and nearly 200 acres pledged to the experiment if the report of said committees proves favorable. The meeting is adjourned to Saturday evening, Nov. 22d. Mrs. Gulick with her two children left us on Tuesday morning for San Francisco. She will sail from that city on the 15th to join her husband in Kobi, Japan, where he has been for some months. Her numerous friends regret her departure from our midst, as we lose a respected and cherished friend, and follow her on her perilous journey with our best wishes for a safe and pleasant trip. Centralia Items. As our regular correspondent is away and the interests of Centralia are suffering in consequence, I will take up the pen of the scribe for once. The farmers are busily at work husking their corn; a few have finished. All report short crops; there will be less than half the corn harvested this year that there was last, and our only hope is in better prices. There will be a great falling off in the acreage of corn planted the coming season, as nearly every one will sow wheas and plant sugar beets instead. There is no doubt about the adaptability of our soil for the cultivation of the sugar beet but our farmers must be satisfied as to the reliability of the company before making any contract. There seems to be a general feeling of dissatisfaction in regard to the Horticultural Fair. But it seems to us that as long as the farmers stand with their hands in their pockets and do nothing to make the exhibition what it should be, they should at least have the grace to refrain from criticizing the management. Tom Pinch, GAZETTE. NO. 5 Savannah Items. We know not what a day may bring forth, as early on last Sabbath morning the long looked and wished for early rain began to come down gently, but increased with approaching daylight until it made glad the hearts of all who had ears to hear or eyes to see; in fact it was the heaviest rainfall we have had in the last six months. My guage registered 14 inches. Many farmers are now sowing small grain at a rapid rate, and no doubt by the time the press flattens these words on the printer's paper thousands of acres will have been sown to wheat and barley in this county. There is certainly a very marked change in the tone and features of the people in the past two months, but not much change in their pockets. Improvements are still progressing slow but sure. Mr. O. H. Burke of El Monte has ordered lumber for his large frame dwelling, which is now being built near the Monte depot. Mr. Cushing of Savannah has built a large hay barn and feed stable combined. Last week several parties left here with teams for Arizona and other parts unknown. Horse thieves are getting rather annoying hereabouts, as four or five good horses have disappeared lately. After a week's rustication our school teachers and children have again settled down to biz. A Crow from the Chicken Cock. Ed. GAZETTE. — Last week's Westminster communication needs a little correction and addition. In the first place, instead of three ladies there were six ladies and three women. They had a list of 372 names, consisting mostly of school children that could write their names. Second, the reverend gentleman said that I was a Badger, but he is mistaken. If he had said a Chicken Cock he would have come nearer the truth, although I don't swatch after laudful corn to be caught bactberries and gooseberries in the season. In no part of the world are malons of all descriptions grown in greater perfection. Most kinds of vegetables are always in season. With water for irrigation it is a perpetual spring, summer and autumn. Flowers bloom continually all the year. A large number of our shade and ornamental trees are evergreen, and the deciduous trees are not bare more than about three months during what we call winter, but which is really spring. Snow never falls in the college, and frosts are very rare. Our winter days are bright, warm, sunny and calm; the grass is green and interspersed with wild flowers; the low hills are undulating slopes of green, and the Sierra Madre, 10,000 feet high, is covered with snow; and the contrast between our gardens radiant with the bloom of roses, our orange trees laden with their golden fruit, and the snow covered Sierra, glistening with its coat of white during our sunny, cloudless winter days, is beautiful beyond description. If during our rainless summers the resident of the valley wants a change, in two hours drive he can reach the sea shore, or in less than twelve hours he can reach a camping place in some canyon of the adjacent mountains, where he can enjoy the pure air, cool spring water and grateful shade of the giant live oaks that abound in those secluded retreats. It is quite customary for residents here to shut up their houses, and having loaded a wagon with the requirements of camp life, to betake themselves to the hills or the sea beach, and for two or four weeks to live in the open air—a tent or a brush house constructed on the spot furnishing all the shelter they require. Such are a few of the pleasures of existence in Southern California, but as those who may want to come here are not all people of incomes, they will ask what they can do to make a living for themselves and families if they come? In reply, I will show that families can and do live comfortably on the produce of five acres of irrigated land, which can be purchased and stocked at small cost or expense.

Last week's Westminster communication needs a little correction and addition. In the first place, instead of three ladies there were six ladies and three women. They had a list of 372 names, consisting mostly of school children that could write their names. Second, the reverend gentleman said that I was a Badger, but he is mistaken. If he had said a Chicken Cock he would have come nearer the truth, although I don't scratch after boiled corn to be caught on a pin hook, but I do get up as early as any crow my praises to him that doeth all things well. Some of the company offered prayer but I didn't want to listen to such because I have seen no good result, especially in this neighborhood. After threats, slander and stretching the truth I observed the cloven foot protrude at intervals, but being endowed with a great deal of humanity and good, pleasant feeling, especially towards the so-called weaker sex, my temper kept balanced. Considering that we are all flesh and blood and are liable to err, I would advise these people to quit looking in the mirror and mistake somebody else for themselves, and it don't take an observer long to learn the truth, especially where there is a lady to suffer from church tyranny and she be innocent. I have no ill-feeling against anybody and will not harbor such, but they must quit treading on my sore toe, but I shall take care of No.1. Yours truly, Dr. D. Hartkope. Anaheim and Vicinity. [Wm R. Olden in the "Horticulturist" for October.] During the past years and the present the ravages of yellow fever in the south-western States, lying along the Mississippi river, have produced a most demoralizing effect upon the residents of the States affected, and of those that are contiguous, which are liable to be attacked by it. But whilst the yellow fever during a few summer months is killing its thousands in a few isolated localities, another disease ten times more formidable is destroying its tens of thousands during all the year in western Europe and in the Atlantic States. We become accustomed to and cease to dread dangers that are always present; and although the victims of consumption are constantly passing away before our eyes, still it has got to be a matter of course—something that we expect to take place, and which we have begun to think is unavoidable and cannot be prevented. Consumption, being a disease of cold and variable northern climates, of course it was natural that those affected by it should seek safety and health in the milder climates of the tropics; but the change from the bracing though variable climate of the north, to the sultry, enervating and malarious climate of most tropical countries, rarely benefited the already enfeebled invalid. What he wanted was a climate mild and temperate in character, equable and moderately stimulating, which would build up and strengthen the weak and enfeebled organization—a climate which would help the invalid and not depress him; a climate which he would not have to fight but which would fight for him—build him up and make him a strong, healthy man. And this is the kind of a climate Southern California offers to the immigrant—a climate without extremes of heat those secluded retreats. It is quite customary for residents here to shut up their houses, and having loaded a wagon with the requirements of camp life, to betake themselves to the hills or the sea beach, and for two or four weeks to live in the open air a tent or a brush house constructed on the spot furnishing all the shelter they require. Such are a few of the pleasures of existence in Southern California, but as those who may want to come here are not all people of incomes, they will ask what they can do to make a living for themselves and families if they come? In reply, I will show that families can and do live comfortably on the produce of five acres of irrigated land, which can be purchased and stocked at small cost or expense. I will make the estimate to suit people of small means, to show what the poorest can do here. Estimate for a farm of five acres: Cost of land, at $50. $250 00 house. 200 00 barn, stable, etc. 100 00 horse and harness 100 00 wagon 125 00 pump and well 25 00 plow and harrow 30 00 3 cows, at $50. 150 00 100 hens, at $50. 50 00 five pigs, at $2 50. 12 50 Total. $1,042 50 I have estimated at highest prices, except the land. Irrigated land is cheap at $50 per acre—each one of which is equivalent to ten not irrigated—but by care and economy in purchasing two or three hundred dollars can be saved on the above estimate. After erecting the buildings, the first thing to be done would be the plowing and seeding of one and a half acres with alfalfa, which in three months will yield the first cutting, and after that time, if properly irrigated, will yield a crop once each month. The product of this, either as green feed or hay, will support the horse, cows and pigs, and also furnish green picking for the fowls. The remaining three acres should be planted with selected varieties of fruit trees, so as to bring a constant succession of fruits (trees beginning to bear here the second year from the bud). The spaces between the trees being utilized by being planted with potatoes and other root crops. Sunflowers and Egyptian corn for the poultry, and strawberries, blackberries, raspberries and gooseberries for the use of the family, and for sale, either fresh, dried or canned. The butter from the cows and eggs from the poultry are supporting numerous families in this country whilst waiting for the fruit plantations in which their means are invested to come into profitable bearing. I have given the foregoing to show how easy it is for a family to make a comfortable living in this country from a small investment on irrigated land. People of means can make a living anywhere, but I know of no country where a living can be made as easily and certainly, with as little hard labor, as in this country. For the benefit of those who want to farm on a large scale for profit, I will state that in the Valleys of the Santa Ana and San Gabriel rivers, in Los Angeles county, there are hundreds of thousands of acres of rich mega or table and valley lands, irrigable by either ditches or artesian wells, that will produce profitably and successfully the semi-tropical fruits—orange, lemon, lime, banana, grape and fig; the temperate fruits—apples, pears, plums, nectarines, apricots and all of the smaller fruits I have before mentioned, together with the farming crops, tropical sugar cane, sugar beets, tobacco, alfalfa, corn, barley, wheat, rye, buckwheat, potatoes and all kinds of vegetables in the greatest abundance and perfection, with this advantage; that crops on irrigated lands are always certain. Moisture is the great requisite in California farming. When the supply The beach was in order to the entire settlement Landing, and, as is people, a general good from the "oldest in the new-comer, all complete success of the way of culinary skill, day, the beauties of the things, and the hilarity of the party.

Dependent is away and malta are suffering in make up the pen of the farmers are busily at work; a few have finish-crops; there will be harvested this year and our only hope is in will be a great falling corn planted the coming one will sow wheat instead. There is no inability of our soil for sugar beet but our as to the reliability making any contract, general feeling of dislike to the Horticultural that as long as their hands in their hand to make the exhibition they should at least from criticising the Tom Pisch, seek safety and health in the milder climates of the tropics; but the change from the bracing though variable climate of the north, to the sultry, enervating and malarious climate of most tropical countries, rarely benefited the already enfeebled invalid. What he wanted was a climate mild and temperate in character, equable and moderately stimulating, which would build up and strengthen the weak and enfeebled organization—a climate which would help the invalid and not depress him; a climate which he would not have to fight but which would fight for him—build him up and make him a strong, healthy man. And this is the kind of a climate Southern California offers to the immigrant; a climate without extremes of heat or cold; moist enough, and not too moist; dry enough, and not too dry; a climate where Europeans can work and pursue their usual avocations without suffering from either heat or cold, and where sun strokes are unknown; a climate which combines all of the advantages of the Tropic and Temperate Zones, and none of the disadvantages of either; where a mild and gentle sea breeze tempers the heat of the summer days, and the land breeze from the Sierra Madre cools the air at night—the sleeper requiring a blanket at night during the warmest part of the summer. People who have lived in other climates find this difficult to believe, but if they will give it a trial they will find this no exaggeration, but that the half has not been told. There are many thousands of people now living in the Atlantic States and Europe who either have consumption, or, it has become hereditary in many families, are threatened with it, and whose only chance of living to be old is to seek a climate where they may hope to recover their health if they have lost it, or where they may reasonably expect to escape if they have not yet been attacked. All invalids are benefited by a residence in our climate, but it is particularly adapted to consumption, and in all cases those who come here in time are invariably benefited, and, if they stay, are cured; but those who are apparently cured, and return to their former homes and climates, soon find that if they care for continued existence, they must remain here where they got well. It cannot be too strongly impressed upon those who come here to benefit their health, that they must make up their minds to stay and live here; and why should they not? Those who have means can in a short time—three or four years—create a home equal to what could be done in twenty years in the Atlantic States; in that time their fruit trees will furnish a constant succession of fruits the year round. Oranges, lemons, limes, figs, bananas, grapes (all of the finest, most delicate and delicious varieties), apples, pears, peaches, apricots, nectarines, plums, and of the smaller fruits, strawberries (all the time), raspberries, the valleys of the Santa Ana county there hundreds of thousands of acres of rich mea or table and valley lands, irrigable by either ditches or artesian wells, that will produce profitably and successfully the semi-tropical fruits—orange, lemon, lime, banana, grape and fig; the temperate fruits—apples, pears, plums, nectarines, apricots and all of the smaller fruits I have before mentioned, together with the farming crops, tropical sugar cane, sugar beets, tobacco, alfalfa, corn, barley, wheat, rye, backwheat, potatoes and all kinds of vegetables in the greatest abundance and perfection, with this advantage that crops on irrigated lands are always certain. Moisture is the great requisite in California farming. When the supply of that is sure, crops never fail, and the irrigator has the additional advantage that he can raise two and even three crops on the same ground in one year, consequently he only wants a small tract of 40 or 80 acres, instead of 400 or 500 acres dependent on rains which may or may not come. Our facilities for shipment are first rate. We are in railroad connection with all parts of the United States, and have seaports within a few miles accessible by good roads. In one year we will have a Southern Overland Railroad below the snow line, which will be available for the shipment of fruits etc., eastward during the winter. The completion of this road and its connections will soon develop and populate an extensive and immensely rich mining country to the east and southeast of us in Southern Nevada and Utah, and in Arizona, which will furnish a market for all of our products. We offer to the immigrant a fertile soil, with abundance of water, capable of almost unlimited production, together with the healthiest and most delightful climate in the world. With a moderate amount of capital, and a reasonable amount of industry, he can in three or four years surround himself with everything which he may desire to make life pleasant and enjoyable. All things are possible on these lands to the man who has water. We learn from the Santa Rosa Times that it is proposed to form a company of twenty-five to engage in the cultivation of grapes exclusively; the plan being for each member to subscribe a sufficient sum for the purchase of twenty-five or fifty acres, no more, and the entire tract to have but one enclosure except the central twenty-five acres which will be reserved for residence and gardens for the vintner. By combinations in this way, valuable farms may be secured in almost any portion of the State for a comparatively small sum. Anahaim one of our most prosperous settlements was commenced in this way.—S. P. Call.
