Bailroai Lais ii California an! 



The Central Pacific and Southern Pacific Railroad Companies have 

 land grants direct from the U. S. Government, including wheat, farm- 

 ing, fruit, grazing, dairy and timber lands, equal to the best in America, 

 and adapted to all purposes of profitable agriculture, and will sell the 

 same in tracts of forty acres, or upwards, at prices ranging from $2.50 

 to $20 per acre, according to quality and situation. 



These lands extend the entire length of California and across the 

 State of Nevada, and excepting the tracts reserved by Government 

 and those to which a valid homestead or pre-emption right had attached 

 prior to the date of the grant comprise all the vacant odd-numbered 

 sections within twenty miles on each side of the main line of the Cen- 

 tral Pacific Railroad, within thirty miles on each side of the line of the 

 California and Oregon branch of the Central Pacific Railroad, and 

 within thirty miles on each side of the line of the Southern Pacific Rail- 

 road. The course of these lines of road can be readily ascertained by 

 reference to any late maps of California and Nevada. 



It will be seen that all this country is situated in the midst of what 

 will be, within a few years, a perfect network of railroads. Lands, 

 therefore, anywhere within this section, must, in consequence of situa- 

 tion, outside of their intrinsic worth, increase very rapidly in value. 

 But, independent of situation, the general excellent quality of the soil, 

 its great productiveness, its adaptability in many places to almost every 

 species of agricultural production, together with the mildness of the 

 climate, the bright skies and the equability of the temperature which 

 prevails over the greater part of its extent, render it a very desirable 

 section for the immigrant or settler who wishes to make a happy home 

 in a place where all the comforts and most of the luxuries of life can be 

 had with but little trouble, and where industry and thrift will be sure 

 to meet with an abundant reward. 



Tracts of not less than eighty acres will be sold, if desired, on a 

 credit of five years ; that is, twenty per cent, cash in hand, and the re- 

 mainder of the purchase money payable at any time within five years, 

 with interest at ten per cent, per annum.
