Here’s Your Golden Opportunity to
Buy A Home
In Sunny California
A 10-ACRE ORCHARD IN RAMONA ACRES
(planted to almonds, vines or used for raising chickens or turkeys)
Will insure independence for you and your family
When two so widely different men as Ignace Jan Panderewski, world
famed pianist and Polish patriot, and William Randolph Hears!, the
publisher, with the world to pick from.both select the Paso Robles
district as the site for their homes and “ranchos”...,.that is proof that
nowhere is living more attractive and pleasant than on the coast of
California.
RAMONA ACRES is located near Paso Robles, in the heart of the prosj
porous Almond and Grape district, midway between San Francisco and
Los Angeles. Both cities are easily accessible by fine concrete high
ways or Southern Pacific Trains.
GOOD INCOME FROM ALMONDS
In the Paso Robles vicinity ar
thousands of acres planted in al
monds of the finest variety. Th
soil is perfect. When in full bear
ing! almond trees will return an
approximate crop of 30 pounds
per tree and around $250 per acre
per year. Other crops according
ly« The industry is growing; it is
highly organized with strong sell
log connections. Almonds are easy
to handle, the crop is non-perish
able and offers a steady income.
Another fine-paying crop fe wine
grapes which have in the last sev
eral years sold for record prices,
from $80 to $100 per ton. Still
another profitable activity is the
raising of poultry. Those interest
ed in this industry claim that 1,000
producing hens will eiarn $2,000 a
year. Turkeys will return even lar
ger incomes. Feed is cheap and
easy to raise, climate mild an (
markets readily accessible.
<
NO IRRIGATION NEEDED
Ramona Acres is about 17 miles
east of Paso Robles, on gently
rolling land. Natural drainage
and moderate rainfall make ir
i rigation unnecessary. Thus la.
bor is reduced and better crops
produced.
YOUR IDEAL HOME
Hundreds of families are living
well here and leading happy,
healthful outdoor lives. You
can do the same. A 10-acre or
chard or farm in almonds,
grapes or other fruits, or poul
try will be sufficient to support
you and your family in comfort
and financial independence. This
is indeed a golden opportunity,
for you may purchase your home
of 10 or more acres on very easy
terms if you so desire.

■Line OF LARGE
Two dredges with a combined
weight of 3,050 tons are already being
assembled on the gold creeks at Fair
banks. Material for a third is on the
way from San Francisco and a fourth
will start in the fall as the first phal
anx of the great Fairbanks Explora
tion project which will ultimately em
ploy nine to 12 great gravel ships to
take out another $150,000,000 from the
Fairbanks district. In the meantime
it has been taxing the facilities of the
Alaska Railroad to handle large and
unwieldly steel beams and spuds that
must be taken over the line to the In
terior camp.
“They tell me that these dredges are
the largest to be floated anywdiere,
and I can well believe it when I see
the material coming in,” said E. L.
Sweek, Seward agent for the Alaska
.Railroad.
HUGE EQUIPMENT
“The spuds are 67 feet long and
i
weight 70,000 pounds each. They axe
the legs that will steady the dredges
from the rear while it eats its way in
to the gravel. The buckets are 50 per
cent larger than any dredge Outside,
and the stacking ladders are 125 feet
long. It took 135 cars to handle the
material for these dredges.”
Practically all the material for the
ships is steel, according to Mr. Sweek,
fabricated by the Bethlehem Steel,
successor of the old Union Iron Works
of San Francisco that built the famous
battleship Oregon. Even the deck
houses and crew quarters are steel.
The holes in the plates and beams are
ready for the assembling when the
material arrives at the ground. They
will be operated by electric power gen
erated at the new plant at Fairbanks,
and supplied with Healy coal.
CAMPS ARE ACTIVE
Other dredging material has been,
going in over the Alaska Railroad and
the end is not yet, according to Mr.
Sweek. The Fairbanks Gold Dredg
ing Co., has just built a barge and new
material is going in for their enter
pris. The Nome Creek Dredging Co.,
operating near Happy, about 10 miles
from Fairbanks have sent in material
for a dredge. Two English companies
are prospecting with a view to advan
tageous stationing of their proposed
dredges. Their prospecting material
has been going in. In the handling of
all this tonnage there have been no
| mishaps on the broad gauge portion
| of the road from Seward to Fairbanks.
| The big beams did tip over a car or
| two on the narrow gauge of the old
Tanana Valley railroad, so the railroad
boys admit, but didn’t do any damage.
