TRIP TO LINDCOVE
TO INSPECT LAND
ENTERPRISE OF LOS ANGELES
AGENCY
Three Hundred Land Seekers Go
North on a Special Southern
Pacific Train— Thanks in
Resolutions .
The Lindcove excursion of last week
was one of the greatest events of slml
,lar character ever held In California.
The following resolutions speak . for
themselves:
Whereas, The Lindcove Realty com
pany, by their far seeing and business
enterprise and tact have enabled us, the
300 excursionists from Los Angeles and
vicinity, by furnishing us free trans
portation on the full train Including
five Pullman coaches, to view ■ their
beautiful new townstto and fertile land
and abundance of water, supplied from
the Kaweah river and wells for the ir
rigation of the same, and, whereas, we
have further enjoyed their lavish hos
pitality, therefore be It resolved,
First, That we | extend to them our
hearty appreciation for their generous
treatment.
Second, That we have abundance of
faith In the town of Lindcove on ac
count of the beautiful situation and the
peculiar fitness of its soil for the
purposes Intended, and on account of
the genuineness and enterprise of the
promoters.
Pulling out of the Arcade station at
10:10 Wednesday night, this Jolly crowd
of 300, comfortably located In - their
berths of the . spacious Pullmans, left
for the foothill fruit section of .Tulare
county, going on a -mission of .investi
gation and to christen a new town, pre
paring the way for the population of a
good sized town ' and farming section.
This party, while they went to assure
themselves that what the Lindcove
Realty company said of their proposi
tion was so, were in reality a^colonlztng
party that haa given heartiest approval
to a new community. The Llndcove
Realty company's offer was to sell a
lot in Llndcove for $350, and the gift of
five acres of finest orange growing
land free, their liberality coming out
of the fact that as soon as they placed
several hundred people Into this section
the Influx of population would make
values— which It has done. Thursday
morning the party awoke to the
beauties of this delightful country. Ar
riving at the banks of the Kaweah river
the train stopped for luncheon, which
had been provided by the company.
Off to Tulare County
Flve.Acre Tracts
The excursionists Inspected more than
2000 acres, cut into , five-acre tracts,
satisfying themselves thoroughly as to
soil, water and climate, , many visiting
the site of the proposed modern cement
plant of the Cement and Iron Manu
facturing company, . near ' Lindcove,
which corporation will employ a large
number of men. Entertainment was also
provided at Exeter and Visalla, the
party returning to Los Angeles highly
pleased with the outing.

When questioned concerning the pres
ent market conditions, E. Avery Mc-
Carthy said:' .
"We have been unusualy busy of
late. Yes, the San Francisco disaster
had a quieting effect for a short time.
and Indeed It was enough to make peo
ple think; but the effect upon the mind
has worn off now and there Is no pos
sible reason why it should retard us in
any way. .. v
"In fact, It will bring many people
and much business to Los Angeles
and cause many northern people who
have been undetermined about enlarg
ing their business interests here to do
so at once. . .'
"In many Instances the main house
will be here with branch hi San Fran
cisco. ;,' .
"It will have the effect of bettering
building rules and regulations here and
elsewhere In the country,
,"We consider the outlook bright. for
the future of Los Angeles and now
have in contemplation some new and
larger investments here. . .
"We are building for any customer
any kind of a house on any lot In our
new tract, and are ready. to put $100,000
into house and home building in our
tracts."
