and extends throughout all the central and northern and mountain
sections, and the adjacent States and Territories. Sacramento is
the chief fruit-shipping station of the
State, sending forward in season far more fruit than any other
point. Assessed valuation, $33,952,808.

devoted to barley is yearly increasing, the average yield being
24 centrals to the acre, and the quality being classed as A 1 by
brewers. Among the other industries of the county is the culture
of flax and tobacco, of hay, dairying, the raising of fowls and
other live stock, and mining. Assessed valuation, $6,279,842.

San Bernardino County
Population, 25,497; chiefly fruit-growing. There are six lines
of railroad entering and being built to the line of San
Bernardino. The Santa Fe system has established its general
offices and its principal machine-shops, round-houses, etc., at
this point. The productions of San Bernardino county are chiefly
citrus fruits. All the productions of the temperate zone,
however, are yielded in prodigal profusion. The mesas give fine
crops of wheat and barley, and other small grains yield largely.
In many sections Irish potatoes can be had fresh from the ground
every month in the year. Garden stuff is perennial. Honey-making
is an occupation which brings large returns in different years.
Assessed valuation, $26,875,871.

San Diego County
Population, 34,987; fruit-raising and agriculture. There is not
a fruit, from the apple and the plum to the banana and the
orange, that does not, in some portion of this great section of
California, reach a high state of excellence. In oranges and
lemons, too, San Diego stands in the front rank. One important
industry deserves a special notice. It is the honey business.
The annual export is something over 2,000 tons. The largest
raisin vineyards in Southern California, or perhaps in the
world, are located with-in this county. Assessed valuation,
$28,850,516.
