CALIFORNIA. (ALPHABETICALLY.)
See also, List of Towns Received too Late for Regular Inserthm.
THERE is, perhaps, no other in the sisterhood of States that has been looked upon with eyes of such high favor and true esteem as the great and wonderful Golden State, a description of whose unlimited resources and attractive scenic and climatic features must, from the nature of our work, be necessarily brief and incomplete. Although less than a third of a century has been recorded in the world's history since the memorable event took place that witnessed the cession of California to the United States, her broad area is covered with smiling towns, cities and villages, well improved and thoroughly cultivated farms, and mammoth "monuments of bone and sinew" and handsome temples of justice and learning; while it is checkered with lines of railway, and her rivers are utilized by a large fleet of elegant and well-appointed steamers. The vicissitudes of time and the presence of King Commerco have wrought a development that has scarcely been paralleled in other commonwealths. In the remotest corners are found to-day proud evidences of ingenuity, enterprise and energy, elements so essential to the progress of all countries. The music of industry, whose accompaniments are the hammer, the saw, the stamp, the trowel and the plane, awakens the echoes of the once uninhabited fastnesses of the mountains; and the clear toned bells of the schools and churches ringing out upon the morning air, the din and clatter of the drays, cabs and truck-wagous are added to the songs of the farmer in the valleys as he drives his team afield. How magical is the touch of Commerce ! How beautiful are the resultants of her twin brother, Manufacture! One cannot con- ceive the immensity of their combined works until a tour of this powerful de- pendency has been made. From her extreme northern boundary to the southern- most border the panorama which is made up of man's genius and Nature's ecstatic charms, is like the figures of a kaleidoscope, -ever changing, ever beau- tiful. Those two extreme localities present a diversity of climate that is peculi- arly astonishing. In the northern counties in the Winter season an abundance of snow and ice and a raw and chilly atmosphere, aro features most noticeable; while in those of the south there is perpetual sunshine and a balmy air, ladened with the fragrance of orange blossoms and rare flowers. Here the invalidl whose physique and hacking cough suggest consumption, is found contending with the inevitable because the soft and tender vespers of the region whispers words of en- couragement in his willing ear; while the hardy Nimrod, on his snow-shoes, scal- ing bulwarks made of ice, is searching at the north for the burly grizzly or-the nimble and graceful deer. One need not necessarily "shiver and freeze," or "sweat and burn" in California, for every season of the year can be found at all times I Truly, truly, the climate of California is "glorious." Her soil is of inexhaust- ible fertility, her mountains still toem with untold wealth, and her "big trees," and beautiful lakes, alive with trout, ure factors that must contribute largely to her continued growth and prosperity. Her educational system stands out a promi- nent example of efficient management and unlimited interest. The youth of the State, under the careful discipline of capable preceptors, attain a greater degree of proficiency in their studies than those of other States, as a rule. Tho colleges of the State are generally handsome and commodious structures. Be it said to her credit, statements of envious and malignant visitors to the contrary notwith- standing, her morals are of a very high standard, as her thousands of magnificent churches, if that is any criterion, will attest.
RAILROADS.
It fell to the lot of the present century to disclose the fact that rapid progress and development of a country was attended only by the construction of railway lines. The experience was acquired from personal observation and practical solu-

tion by those who had great pecuniary interests at stake, and whose ambition was to place California far above the plane of mediocrity, in advance of the natural laws governing her standard, that rapid transportation was afforded only by "bands of steel and the iron horse," and to the end that these requirements might be fulfilled, plans for a railway system such as few other States possess, were inaugurated. How successfully the genius of those in whose minds the prodigious scheme originated, resulted, is shown in the presence of numerous lines of railroads penetrating every section of the State. The first of these, the vanguard as it were, was the
SACRAMENTO VALLEY RAILROAD,
Which was constructed from Sacramento to Folsom, a distance of 22} miles, in the years 1855-56, at the enormous cost of $1, 100,000. The investment, however, proved a profitable one, for its business was immense for several years afterwards. Prosperity of the section it permeates, finally sought other "pastures new " for its sustenance, and the earnings of the road gradually decreased, though we be- lieve it is more than self-sustaining.
THE SACRAMENTO VALLEY AND PLACERVILLE
Is an extension of the first nr med, having been completed from Folsom to Shingle Springs, a distance of 26 miles, its present terminal point, in El Dorado county. The next in order of construction was the San Francisco and San Jose Railroad, which is now known as the
NORTHERN DIVISION OF THE SOUTHERN PACIFIC,
Which runs from San Francisco to Soledad, a distance, with its branch from Gil- roy to Tres Pinos, of 162 miles. This road is finely equipped and managed, and traverses one of the most picturesque of California's lovely sections. The coun- try as it spreads out from the highway, clothed in its dress of verdure, and fringed by the Santa Cruz or Coast Range, with beautiful residences dotting the plains and breaking the monotony which their absence might offer, is delightfully charm- ing. This is a source of great revenue to the owners, and an indispensable conven- ience to the residents of the famed Santa Clara Valley, whose remarkable yields of berries, fruits, vegetables and grain tre transported by this line to the "City of the Bay." The next in the State's catalogue is the wonder of the age, whose construction was an achievement that "knowing ones" were assured would be utterly impossible. In thus referring to this gigantic enterprise, need we say that it is the
CENTRAL PACIFIC RAILWAY ?
They who furnished the brains and the money that brought about the permanent organization of the company that completed this line, have endeared themselves to the people of the coast who have its welfare at heart, and have had their names inscribed upon monuments that will crumble only with time. The generations of ages in the labyrinthian passages of the dark and very remote future will point to the success, to the energy and to the intrepid courage shown in the colossal un- dertaking which was entailed upon this enterprise of enterprises. The passage of heavy trains of cars at a rapid speed across the towering Sierras seems, even in this age of wonders, this age of broad enlightenment, refined culture and genius, to be a marvel whose creation might be traced only to a fertile mind "rich in fancy but poor in fact." We remove this "vapor of deception" in a trip across these mammoth upheavals and realize that the work is done. We rub the lamp of magic and the glories of LABOR stand revealed ! The projectors were discouraged by the use of strong argument and the almost insurmountable obstacles were spoken of in exaggerated terms. But the matured intelligence of Theodore D. Judah, an accomplished and veteran engineer, strengthened by keen perception and sound judgment, was treated with high consideration, and his opinions con- cerning the feasibility of the enterprise inspired the "moving spirits" with im- plicit confidence. These "moving spirits" were Messrs Mark Hopkins, E. B. and Chas. Crocker, C. P. Huntington and ex-Governor Leland Stanford. To the in- domitable energy of these gentlemen, the government in general and the people of the Pacific Coast in particular, owe the presence of the trans-continental line of railway. Who, then, with the germ of gratitude lying dormant in his breast,

It is true they have acquired Croesus-like fortunes through their connection with the great route, yet who can truthfully or consistently deny that such a reward has not been particularly merited ? The assurance that the Central Pacific is under efficient management is made "doubly sure" by the fact that men of such prominence in railroad circles as Messrs. E. H. Miller Jr., Secretary; E. W. Hopkins, Treasurer; W. H. Porter, Auditor; S. S. Montague, Chief Engi- neer; A. N. Towne, General.Superintendent; J. A. Fillmore, Master of Transpor- tation; E. C. Eellows, Assistant Superintendent; J. C. Stubbs, General Freight Agent and T. H. Goodman, General Passenger and Ticket Agent, are closely identified with its interests. It is a powerful and an indispensable corporation. THE OREGON DIVISION OF THE CENTRAL PACIFIC Traverses a rich agricultural section and has contributed largely to the develop- ment of Northern California. It reaches from Roseburg to Redding, a distance of 170 miles, and its completion to Roseburg, connecting at that point with the Oregon and California Railroad, will no doubt be witnessed ere the lapse of many years. THE SOUTHERN PACIFIC, Connecting with the Central Pacific at Lathrop, runs almost through the entire length of the Southern portion of the State, and passes through some of the most picturesque country on the coast. Along the line of this great route there are 12,000,000 acres of excellent farming and grazing lands, which the company offer for sale at reasonable rates and on the most favorable terms. It is being rapidly pushed forward to its destination, the object being to open up all that section of country in Arizona and New Mexico that borders its route, and to secure an outlet to New Orleans and the Gulf of Mexico for the multifarious products of Southern California to England and other European countries. The length of this line, which is leased to the Central Pacific, together with its branches, is about 1,000 miles, but when completed will probably be in the neigh- borhood of 2,000 miles. THE SAN FRANCISCO AND NORTH PACIFIC Has its initial point near Petaluma and is completed to Cloverdale, with a branch of 16 miles from Fulton to Guerneville. It permeates one of the richest districts in the State and the "big trees," hot springs and geysers are reached by this route. It was built with private capital and is still controlled by the projectors. It is splendidly equipped and is a valuable auxiliary in the promotion of travel and shipping interest. CALIFORNIA PACIFIC AND NORTHERN RAILWAY. The main line of this road has for its terminal points Benicia and Sacramento' being the quickest and shortest route to the capital city from San Francisco- The travel by this line is immense and the country it passes through is perfectly enchanting, -agricultural in its nature. It branches are those which run from Davisville Junction, eight miles from Sacramento, to Knight's Landing, in Yolo county, and from Vallejo to Calistoga, through the beautiful Napa valley, NEVADA COUNTY NARROW-GAUGE. Illustrated Catale The construction of this line was begun in February, 1875, and its completion to Nevada City, 23 miles distant from Colfax, followed on the 24th of May, 1876. It was built by local subscription and cost $590,000, $250,000 of which was cash and the balance was paid in bonds of the company, drawing eight per cent. inter- est semi-annually .- Close connections with all trains on the Central Pacific Rail- road and stage lines leading to Downieville, Camptonville, San Juan, etc., are made.

SOUTH PACIFIC COAST
Is a narrow-gange and but quite recently completed. Its length is 62 miles and its terminal points are San Francisco and Wrights. The country through which it passes is unsurpassed for scenery anywhere in the State.
SANTA CRUZ RAILROAD
Is a short line, 21 miles in length, having for its termini Pajaro and Santa Cruz, the "Long Branch " of the Pacific Coast.
VACA VALLEY AND CLEAR LAKE
Is a private line, owned and operated by parties in Vacaville. Its length is about 30 miles, and the region through which it passes is very fertile.
THE SONOMA VALLEY
Is a short single-rail railroad of the prismodial order, the only one we believe in active operation in the United States, if not in the world. This line, when com- pleted, will extend from Norfolk to Sonoma, a distance of ten miles. It has proved a paying experiment, having been built for the purpose of transferring freight and passengers to and from the steamboats which are run to San Francisco in connection.
SANTA CRUZ AND FULTON
Is a narrow-gauge line eight miles in length
THE SANTA MARIA AND SAN LUIS OBISPO
Is a short line of eleven miles in length.
STACE LINES.
'In the carly history of the far West the stage coach was the source of great convenience to the residents, and its presence, indeed, was a necessity. Of course with the advent of the iron horse this "ancient mariner " has become almost a thing of the past. Yet the rattling of its wheels is still familiar in a few remote places of the coast, and it is still prized for its advantages.
