Book excerpt: Excerpt from For California, Vol. 4: A Monthly Publication "for Those Who Desire the Best There Is in Life" In presenting the third number of the series of For California devoted to the counties of the State, The California Promotion Committee wishes to call attention to the fact that when this series is complete the numbers devoted to it will be one of the best means of Information regarding California that can be found, as every article is written by some one who is thoroughly conversant with the conditions of the county represented. In the present number Santa Cruz County is told of by H.R. Judah, Secretary of the Santa Cruz Board of Trade; and he presents the peculiar features and advantages of the county with a ready pen that shows the reader just exactly what is to be found in that wonderful county. Del Norte is one of the little-known counties of California, owing to the fact that it is stored away in the northwestern corner of the State, where transportation facilities are inadequate. The prospects and advantages offered by this county are told by a staff writer of the magazine. Mrs. B. F. Walton, Secretary of the Chamber of Commerce of Sutter County, writes in a most interesting manner of Sutter County, and tells of its advantages in words that can but induce the prospective home-seeker to look there before deciding on a permanent settlement in the State. Lawrence Wilson, Secretary of the Board of Trade of Winters, tells what Yolo County has to offer, and he puts forward the claims of his county in a manner that will attract attention. The county is one that has had but little advertising but deserves all the praise given it. San Benito County is one that demands recognition, as it is going forward with steady progress. E. W. Tiffany, Secretary of the San Benito County Improvement Club, writes about its possibilities and presents a most tempting story for the prospective settler. Lake County, the "walled-in kingdom," is one of Californias counties which is always alluring and attractive, and Percy H.Milberry, Secretary of the Lakeport Improvement Association, tells of its unique possibilities in a manner that will well inform the reader. Napa County, that beauty-spot which lies on the north of the bay, and which is. destined to become the summer and winter home of many of San Francisco's people, is told about by S. H. Wyckoff, Secretary of the Napa Chamber of Commerce, in an entertaining and instructive manner. Inyo and Modoc are two other counties which are little known to the average Californian, and a staff writer of this magazine has attempted to tell about their advantages so that they will not remain entirely so. These counties have much of the mystery and strangeness that attaches to unknown lands, and here are fields for explorers almost as wild as the depths of Africa or the southern half of the American Continent. Taken as a whole, this issue of For California is one that will be especially interesting on account of the counties that are represented therein.
