TO THE FARMERS:
Since the date of our last advertisement to
you we have sold 1100 acres of land, and being
all the land held by us in behalf of the various
Loan Companies we represent, except the
Shaw farm of 200 acres in Kinloss, and which
we are offering very cheap and on very easy
terms of payment.
Several farmers have, however, placed
their farms in our hands for sale, so that we
hope to be able to spply the bulk of the
demand for farms as heiretofore. But as our
sales exceeded 1.000 acres last spring we would
request those in want of a cheap farm to apply
early, as the spring time will now soon be
here. We can grant very reasonable terms of
payment for all our sales and a low rate of
interest,
If you wish to renew or change you mort-
gage, or put a new mortgage on your farm, or
send money away in payment of the interest
or principal of your mortgage,, we can guaran-
tee you satisfaction and at a very trifling
expense.
We lend money on farmers' notes for long
or short time, and can supply all demands on
reasonable terms, Sale nates a specialty.

S OUTHEEN CALIFORNIA.
Interersting Lettenfrom a Sentinel Corre
pondent
According to promise, Mr. Ee ito
I send you a description of th'1<s, fa
famed and over boomed Souther
California, and as I have not travelle
.over but a p:�rt of it, I will taLe th
model colony of Ontario as a sampl
of the country. In general, t:i
'ounder of the colony was a Canadia
capitalist from Toronto by the nam
of Mr. Chase, who in honor of hi
eastern home gave it the name o
Ontario. -Now for convenience" I wi
divide my remarks under the follow
ing heads :-1st, The position of th
country ; 2nd, The climate; 3rd, Th
'-ndustries and production ; 4th, Th
_ I inhabitants :5th, As a place for settle
meat ; 6th, Facilities' for transport
ation ; 7th, Future prospects of the
country.
Ontario properly known as the
,model colony, is located near •tlie
western border of St: Berrnardine
county.. It • is 35 miles from the
Pacafic ocean and is situated near the
geographical centre. of a valley 65
miles in length and 15 miles in'width
and upon that portion of it having
the greatest elevation above the sea.
The soil is gravelly in 'the centre and,
near the foot of the mountains, it is
nothing but boulders, and a Canadian
would hardly take t n acres of it and
be compelled to. live on it and clear it,
yet the Company ask $250 to $280
per acre for. it. 'The editor of the
Ontario Observer says that the land
is as fertile as that of the Nile. ' Tf
you want thetruth and nothing but
the truth of a California edit,,:
remarks, ,lust' extract the square root
of them and you will have it.
The , land is divided into 80 , acre
blocks and then subdivided into 10
acre lots, and the water for irrigation:
purposes comes to the highest corner
of each lot. The land, and water 'to
irrigate it for all time to • come are
sold together thereby making it'.hi)r
in price. One improved 20 acre lot,
with trees four years old, fair house,
and stable was sold for $25,000 lately,
but in the generality of cases, it runs
from $250 for unimproved to$1000 for
improved per acre: The climate is'
semi tropical, with no snow and very
little frost. The rainy season lasts
through the latter part of January,
and the month of February, but it is
not disagreeable as • very little rain
falls at any . time' during the year.
The summer is hot 11at the atmos-
phere beingso dry the heat is not so
oppressive. From one o'clock in the
morning until about JO is the hottest
part of the day, after which time a
cool sea breeze from the Pacific springs
up and generally lasts until night.
The nights are 'very cool, and over-
coats are in good demand all year
round. In fact the climate ' is the
greatest attraction, for by virtue of it
many, invalids have been restored to
health, for it is a- medicine to- the
afflicted, a tonic to the robust, and,a
certain rejuvenator of the old. Last
winter however the country was
visited by a terrible wind storm, known
here as a norther, which did a great
deal of damage to both fruit and
trees.' The sand • was drifting with .
such force as to penetrate the leaves
and fruit of young trees, especially on
the north side, thereby destroying the
loaves and rendering the fruit un-
eatable. It is estimated that nine
tenths of the fruit Was damaged by
frost and send storms but this does
not occur often, afloat once' in five
years so Californians say.
The principal industries are ' the
•
raising of citrons and deciiiious fruit,
The important fruits being oranges
;1U(1 lemons, for which Ontario is
( Specially , noted, here lemons won
tlr,it prize ^t the \\'orl(t'S 'Bair at the
New Orlon. ,s Fspnsit i(itl, �r,nle of
the other principal fruits are apricot,
peach, prune, grape, fig, and some
1apples in the higher mountain. valleys.
hpre is something ,facinating about'

e' futureackno.
n The population is a mixed nFtion-
e ality in every sense of the term, vine
s dressers from southern Europe, miners
f from Great Britain, swarthy Meaicans,
11 halfl)reeds, and native noble red men,
- Mongolians, native Californians and
e eastern capitalists of all classes. All
e creeds are represented, the Methodists
e being the strongest body in this
- section. But a large number of
Califo. iians in fact I may say she
majority are carless as regards religion
and -they -generally work sece'i days
in the week and a few more if there
was a possibility of getting them in.
'their educational system is an e::cel-
lent one, their standard being the
highest in the country: Their school
houses are' the very picture of neat-•
ness and add very much to the
attraction 02 the count•'y. Their.
teachers are nearly. all Normal g"rd-
uates,rand salaries rams from $50 to
$100 per month, nine months teaching
in the year. The school houses and
colleges were built by the founder 'as
an inducement for settlers.. .

also that in ordance with the sugges-

commended that a Normal Institute
for the village to_ meet quarterly, be
organized and .the• officers 'of the
township association be the officers of
the Normal Institute. • This report
was received and •its 'recommendations
adopted:
The.chairman called on the presi-'
dent elect to take the chair. Dh r.
Murdock thanked the meeting for the
Honor conferred on. him, and called on
b1 r. Bowering to give an address.
The subject:of which was "Christ the
S. S. teacher's model". He spoke of
the imnortance of.sowing seed without
chaff,; -.of selecting. a few points ; of
studying the character of the scholar s
and winning their adT'ectious and not
to trust too much to helps and never
be discouraged. i11 r. Day 'spoke on.
"Chid nature" : its characteristic and
claims. Among the points enlpiiasized
were --A chile is ,.uservan-t, frank,
full of activity, imitates examples,
