Editorial 



IN presenting the third number of the series of FOR CALIFORNIA 

 devoted to the counties of the State, The California Promotion Com- 

 mittee wishes to call attention to the fact that when this series is 

 complete the numbers devoted to it will be one of the best means of 

 Information regarding California that can be found, as every article 

 is written by some one who is thoroughly conversant with the conditions 

 of the county represented. 



In the present number Santa Cruz County is told of by H. R. Judah, 

 Secretary of the Santa Cruz Board of Trade; and he presents the peculiar 

 features and advantages of the county with a ready pen that shows the 

 reader just exactly what is to be found in that wonderful county. 



Del Norte is one of the little-known counties of California, owing to 

 the fact that it is stored away in the northwestern corner of the State, 

 where transportation facilities are inadequate. The prospects and advan- 

 tages offered by this county are told by a staff writer of the magazine. 



Mrs. B. F. Walton, Secretary of the Chamber of Commerce of Sutter 

 County, writes in a most interesting manner of Sutter County, and tells 

 of its advantages in words that can but induce the prospective home-seeker 

 to look there before deciding on a permanent settlement in the State. 



Lawrence Wilson, Secretary of the Board of Trade of Winters, tells 

 what Yolo County has to offer, and he puts forward the claims of his 

 county in a manner that will attract attention. The county is one that 

 has had but little advertising but deserves all the praise given it. 



San Benito County is one that demands recognition, as it is going 

 forward with steady progress. E. W. Tiffany, Secretary of the San Benito 

 County Improvement Club, writes about its possibilities and presents a 

 most tempting story for the prospective settler. 



Lake County, the "walled-in kingdom," is one of California's counties 

 which is always alluring and attractive, and Percy H. Milberry, Secretary 

 of the Lakeport Improvement Association, tells of its unique possibilities 

 in a manner that will well inform the reader. 



Napa County, that beauty-spot which lies on the north of the bay, 

 and which is. destined to become the summer and winter home of many 

 of San Francisco's people, is told about by S. H. Wyckoff, Secretary of 

 the Napa Chamber of Commerce, in an entertaining and instructive 

 manner. 



Inyo and Modoc are two other counties which are little known to the 

 average Californian, and a staff writer of this magazine has attempted to 

 tell about their advantages so that they will not remain entirely so. These 

 counties have much of the mystery and strangeness that attaches to 

 unknown lands, and here are fields for explorers almost as wild as the 

 depths of Africa or the southern half of the American Continent. 



Taken as a whole, this issue of FOR CALIFORNIA is one that will be 

 especially interesting on account of the counties that are represented 

 therein.
