California. The great prosperity of this Imd of < pportqnity, ha-, reoently been marked by a distinguish-d vis. tor, Bod Hamilton Eish, Asshsant United States Treasurer. Mr. Fish saw nothing that impressed \m more than the eaormom busih ss being done on the Pacific coast nhe apparent permanency of its pr, • tsperity, and the need of me s workers.

The basis of this prosperity is first of all climate, then eleotrioal energy and fuel oil for manufactures, and finally irrigation. Given water to turn on. at will, in a countryso full o sunthine, and grtwth is continuous. Something is growing every month to pat on the table, to fatten stook, or carry to market, One acre of alfalfa will support two cows, and for h y, can be out five t mes a year Larger than England and 8 otla'nd combined. California has room for a million more people, and this makes land cheap, and opportunity great. A self-sutaining home, the value of which will rapidly increase, can easily be secured where life means comfort as well as coin. Colonist rates now make it easy to see how it is yourself. They are based on a rate of $?3.00 from Chicago, or $25 00 from Missouri river points, via Southern Pacific. California books can b bad of any agent. Write to W. G. Neimyhb, 193 Clark, St. Gen.
