California Exhibit
Shows Diversity of
All State's Products
Booth Conducted Jointly Has Display
of Many Fraits Represents
Great Region.
In the booth conducted Jointly by the
United States Farm Iunl company, Its
aubaldlary company the Sacramento Valley
Colonisation company and the Roebuck
Land company one will find the greatest
variety of what the aoll will produce in
and around the city of Sacramento, Cal.
The property adjoins the city of Sacra
mento, the capital of the atate, and la In
the center of the decldeous fruit section
of California and embraces the great
American river fruit district. The property
consists of some 44,000 acres of the most
fertile land In the atate of California. It
has been known aa the Rancho Del Paso,
being one of the Spanish land grants. It
waa created In the early days and was
confirmed by the state of California upon
Its admission to the union. It was a world
famous place for fine horaea and was used
exclusively for that purpose. The passing
of the Interest In horse breeding and the
increaae In tha value of the land In the
neighborhood has been such that thla
property could not provide adequate returna
on lta value "when uaed for that purpose.
Last year the ownera concluded to sell
and the property waa acquired by the
above companies early last spring. On all
sides are found farms, groves, orchards
and vineyards and the gardens that have
mads tha Sacramento valley a synonym
for productiveness the world oxer. Around
it are pretty farm homes of the moat pros
peroua agricultural population of the world.
The desire of the owners to keep the
ranclio Intact haa kept thla land from form
ing an equally prospuroua colony of homes.
South of the rancho is the American river.
To the east are tha principal orange-
growing localltlea of the Sacramento valley.
To the west la the Sacramento river. Over
looking all la the state capital building.
To tha aaat are the elerra Nevadaa. A more
pleaaant prospect could not be asked for
by anyone. In the heart of the rancho are
734 acres selected by the city of Sacramento
for a public park, a far-alghted provision
for the needa of a rapidly growing city.
That thla land la aa productive as any In
California la amply proved by the scattered
sections already under cultivation, the
original owner having leased out small
farrua here and there on the track and
ralaed some fruit for home consumption,
but additional proof la furnii-hed by the
successful farms, fruit orchards and groves,
vlneyarda and truck farms almost com
pletely surrounding tha property.
Mr. John It Meer, representing the
I'nlted Statea Farm Land company, and
Mr. C. W. Cosxepa. representing the Roe
buck Land company, are In charge of the
booth at the Land Show. Mr. Cozxens la
known up and dowh the Sacramento valley
as one of the moat successful horticulturists
In the state and will be pleased to give
visitors any Information that may be de
aired tn regard to Sacramento alley lands,
Sacramento City or the surrounding terri
tory.

at Low Ratra from the
A korlgluM,
In ths uncouth, aavaga iraona of ths
M-ventaan Indiana from ths Roaebud res
.rvi.tir.ti rf South I'akota. who have bten
attracting the greatest attention possibly
of all the exhlblta at tne omana na.m
Show, a fortune of SKJU.WW waa represented.
Foster Jaekaon, of the Jaekaon Bros. Lnd
company, which brought tha Indiana to the
how. told of the remarkable wealth red
men pusaeased. In an Interview with a sur
prised visitor yesterday.
Those Indians don't want much money
fur the dances they carry out, I suppose,"
the visitor remarked causally.
'They don't need a cent," anawered Mr.
Jarkaon. -That llttla outfit of redskins
owns mora land than there is in Omaha,"
he continued. Ths land dealer then ex
plained how tha government had conferred
un all tha Indiana of the South Dakota
reservations equitable portions of land, and
how tha Indian. In turn, lived on the gen
eroua lease money that waa brought in
b the white farmers.
Rather I. rase Than Bar.
"Most of the land taken by white aet
tlera Is leased land." said Mr. Jackson.
"It la a notable fact that nine-tenths of
ail the fettlers who come Into the state
of Sfuth I'aWota prefer to rent the land
they settle upon rather than to buying
It outright. They cuuld purchae the
farma at redlculouxly low rates, but moat
of them haven't much money and find It
much more satisfactory to merely rent all
the ground they can till.
"The Indian lands can be leased for 76
cents per acre, per year, with all the Im
provements of houses, farm buildinga and
roads already establiahed for them. Thla
Is an attractive price when It la considered
that lands In other parts of the country
cannot be leased for less than from S3 to
ii an acre."
The Jackson brothers and their band of
Indians will remain through the last hours
of the Land Show, and will leave Omaha
to return to their homes in tiie Rosebud
country at Dallas, S. I.. Sunday morning.
The Land Show management has given
many written and verbal words of thanks
and appreciation to the South Dakota ex
hibitors for the pleading part they took
In making the great show a auccess.
