CALLED TO
DISPUTED
ATTENTION
A FEW UN
FACTS :
All railroad towns, backed by a large area of productive,
irrigated land, become good sized cities.
Well located lots in such towns and cities in a very few
years become very valuable.
Such lots, at first, sell at a nominal price, and within five
to ten years, some of the business proerty is valued at from
$100 to $500 ier front foot or more.
The bext ritirx in Southern California (outside of Ixs An
geles) are not backed by more than from. 10,000 to 25,000 acre
of irrigated land.
Riverside, Kedlands and Pomona are samples of this
class of cities.
Application has been made to the authorities at Wash
ington for a charter for the First National Bank of Imperial.
This bank will probably le opened for business before the
close of the year.
The towns of Imperial, Paringa and Calerico, in the Im
perial Settlements, are now placed on the market, and the lots
are offered for sale at nominal prices. But the Company in
tends within sixty days, and without notice, to double such
prices.
Each town is supjKrted by from 60,000 to 100,000 acre of
choice irrigable land.
Each town is on the line of the Los Angeles, Imperial -and
Arizona Railroad now leing incorporated with a branch
connecting this line with the Southern Pacific. '
Centrally located lot in either one of these towns will be
very valuable in a very few years.
Those who apply first can get choice location near the
center of the towns. For map of either town, with descrip
tive circular, apply to, or address:
