DECEMBER 20, 1913 AUTO PARTY BUYS AT RIVERGARDEN One of the most interesting deals to be closed in the Fair ranch subdivi sion of Rivergarden farms was made this week, when 320 acres of this sublrrigated land was sold to three purchasers from Bisbee, Ariz. This selection was made after an inspec tion of several farm land subdivisions along the way from Los Angeles to Sacramento. The party comprised L. H. North, who is a wholesale butcher and stock raiser, owning three large stock ranges in the vicinity of Bisbee; James Q. Wallace and J. F. Hemper ly. The other purchasers are farmers who have been growing alfalfa near the Arizona town. While these pur chasers intend to grow alfalfa on their new farms, their prime reason for coming to California is the fact that while this forage grows well in Arizona, the ditch water which Is used for irrigation carries Johnson grass seed, which takes root and kills out the alfalfa. A term of five years will completely destroy a good rftand of the forage. The existence of sabirrigation eliminates the possibil ity of trouble of this kind at River garden farms. Coming by automobile the entire distance, the party stopped at all places of interest along the line, and, where occasion presented, investigated the various farm land subdivisions throughout southern California, the San Joaquin and Sacramento valleys. The purchase in Rlvergarden Farms was made after an exhaustive exam ination of the soil and thorough study of proximity to markets and trans portation facilities. Among testa Rock Island Lines When asked what is the best route to California —the answer is easy—Rock Island Lines. The advantages of three routes, elegant equipment and through cars to Sacramento, Stockton, Fresno, San Jose, Los Angeles and San Francisco, puts the Rock Island at the head of the list. Superior dining car service and a greater number and variety of through car lines from the east to California than is operated by any other railway.
