GREATEST IRRIGATED LAND OP-
PORTUNITY EVER OFFERED TO
HOflESEEKERS AND INVESTORS
The following is an extract
irom a recent issue of “The Fi-
nancial World,'* one of America's
most reliable, conservative pub-
lications: “On the Orient line
the construction is proceeding
so rapidly that it is new expected
the road will be completed in
1912. Then there will be added
another important system to our
constellation of transcontinental
railroads. After that there will
be no more Pacific roads unie39
new lines are projected. The
common knowledge that the
Orient line is so near completion
arouses the keenest interest in its
securities in Wall street, and for
that matter throughout the East.
Its importance and the prominent
position it most likely will occupy
in the transcontinental railroad
situation when finally opened for
business, has forced a belated
recognition from the financial
district, always unwilling to re-
gard favorably any important
project unless it first has a hand
in financing it.*’
