ARARE OPPORTUNITY
Good Agricultural Land for $40
to $40 per Acre.

The Pacific Improvement Company has re-
Gently purchased twelve thousand acres of
land in the heart of Tehama County. for the
purpose of promoting subdivision and settle
ment. This land embraces lands from first
class Sacramento Valley agricultural land, to
land of fair average quality, and is offered at
from SO TO $40 per acre, in subdivisions of
40, so, 100, 16O and $50 acres.
The terms upon which these lands are offered
are especially attractive. They will be sold in
subdivisions, as above indicated, by the pay
ment OF interest only for three years, at which
time the purchaser can begin the payment of
principal by paying the first of five equal an
nual installments. Thus no part of the prin-
cipal is to be paid for three years, and then
the purchaser is TO have five years in which to
pay five equal annual installments with in
terest at the rate OF z per cent. per annum,
making payments extending over period of
eight years. Intending purchasers arc as
sured that this is an opportunity TO purchase
land of fair average quality Mt SO per acre,
and good agricultural land at $40 an acre.
with other grades of land at prices to CORE
spond between these figures.
The assertion is frequently made that good
lands, suitable for general farming, and es-
pecially adapted for fruit-growing, cannot be
had in California TOR less than from $50 to
500 an acre. An examination OF the land
subject of this advertisement will prove to
home-seekers that this is an opportunity for
the purchase of good agricultural land at $50
an acre, and for qualities grading down to fair
agricultural land at $40 an acre, on terms Of
payment which should make the disposition
of these lands to actual settlers result easy of
accomplishment.
The primary object of the purchase OF this
body of land was the breaking up of large
holding for the purpose of promoting its set
tlement in smaller quantities and its devotion
to diligent husbandry.

Strange Facts About Accidents.

The collection of large groups of facts
about accidents which has been made nee
essary by the development of accident in
surance has made a contribution to one
department of social science that is by no
means uninteresting. For instance, it is
curious fact that man Is much more likely
to lose his left hand than his right hand, or
his left eye than his right eye. Statistics
show, too, that when man insures himself
. against accidents he thereby greatly dimin-
ishes the risk of accident, and this is proba-
bly, explained in this way: When mans
attention is called to a danger he fixes
his mind on it, and thereby con-
Sciously or unc0nsclOusly makes unusual
effort to avert 1t. 1t therefore happens
that man is more likely to be victim of
an accident of kind that he never thought
of, than the kind against which he insures
himself A man. for instance, who handles
sharp tools will insure himself against an
accident from the use of them, and the first
thing he knows he will be drawing pay
done by getting cinder in his eye. Not
only are such odd and curious facts as these
brought to light by development of accident
insurance, but a great many important
groups of facts which bear upon the habits
of men and the development of civilization.
For instance, accidents are much more COM
mon in the sparsely settled portions of the
country than in the densely settled por-
tions, and they happen more frequently
in the middle of winter and middle of sum-
mer than i'll other seasons OF the year. An
interesting study Of these facts which is
perhaps the first study of the kind ever pub
lished, is contributed to The Forum for
September by Mr.. James r. Pitcher.

fore brother-in-law to the Warden OF Fol-
som.
His education was gained at Freiburg

counted an expert swordsman. His work
as civil engineer on the Comstock brought
to him wide circle OF sincere friends, but
his later efforts have given him fame not
confined to the limits of the State. He
drew the plans for the Folsom dam, canal
and wer-house, and was constructing

erection. Later he drew the plans and
specifications for the new jute-mll and ma
