Too much stress cannot be laid upon the great ad.
vantage to the futgrower of being in early locality.
In most cases it makes the difference between success
and failure The industrious orchardst Of Capay Valley
may rest assured that he will derive all the benefits gained
by the first fruit shipments of the season. and that 20

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

The Pacific Improvement Company has re-
Gently purchased twelve thousand ceres of
land in the heart of Tehama County. for the
purpose of promoting subdivision and settle
ment. This land embraces lends from first
class Sacramento Valley agricultural land, to
land of fair average quality, and is offered at
from $40 to $50 per acre, in subdivisions OF
40, so, 40, 160 and $40 acres.
The terms upon which these Iand are offered
are especially attractive. They will be sold in
subdivisions, as above indicated by the paw
Eent of interest only for three years, at which
time the purchaser can begin the payment OF
principal by paying the first OF 1--WE equal an
nual installments. Thus no part of the prfn-
cipal is to be paid for three years, and then
the purchaser is to have five years III which to
pay five equnl annual installments. with in
terest at the rate of per cent. per annum,
making payments extending over a period of
eight years. Intending purchasers are as
sured that ths is an opportunity to purchase
land of fair average quality at SIC 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 fruitgrowing, cannot be
had IN California for less than from 500 to
500 an acre. An examination of the land
subject OF this advertisement wiz prove to
home-seekers that this is an opportunity for
inc purchase of good agricultural land at $50
an acre and for qualities grading down to fair
agricultural land at SO 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
ooGy OF land was the breaking up of a large
holding for the purpose OF promoting its set
tlement in smaller quantities and its devotion
to diIigent husbandry.
For further particulars, call upon or ad.

THE CASE OF THE MoNTsEBRAT.

While the newspapers are laying down
the law ON the rights of belligerents and
prOpOunding questions as to what we shall
do with the Itata if the Charleston catches
her, another question has arisen in this port
without attracting any attention. There lies
in the bay 1000-ton steamship, named the
Montserrat, which is loading with grain
and forage under charter to w. K. Grace
& Co. She is to sail to-day or tomorrow
for Callao or orders, and expects to fetch up
at IQuQue, which pOrtis held by the Chilean
revolutionary party. a party of men in
the employ of the Chilean Consul and
party of American revenue officers are
watching her to see that she does not take
on board any arms or munitions Of war. it
being taken for granted on all sides that If
she does not she will be free to clear and
sail for her destination.
Like most points of International law, the
definition of contraband of war has varied.
GrOtiuS includes food - "cOmmeatus" -
among articles which may be seized in
neutral ship by one belligerent when on the
way to the other. Vattel modified this 0pin-
ion by drawing distinction between bel
ligerents that were not suffering from
scarcity of food and belIigerents that were
enduring famine. Neutral shipments of
food to the latter he regarded as contraband.
while similar shipments to the former were
not During the war between England and
the French republic each nation believed, or
effected to believe, that starvation pre-
vailed among its enemies, ard food ships
bound to both French and English ports
were seized. Against this doctrine the
United States protested, insisting that food
was rot IAN engine of war" But Dana and
Wheaton advocated the doctrine that bel
ligerent has a right to deprive its enemy of
any article which may be used in the con-
duct Of military operations which is essen
tial for the use of armies. During the Civil
War quinine was pronounced contraband
OF war.
The United States Government has no
official knowledge that anything worse than
popular disturbance is going on in Chile.
Our representatives in that country report
that fighting has taken place and lives have
been lost. But these are events of constant
occurrence in Spanish American countries.
They have not yet assumed phase which
suSpendS the ordinary regulations of trade.
Even assuming that the treaty OF Wash
ington binds the United States in its deal
ings with other countries as we'll as Great
Britain, there is nothing in that instrument
which forbids shipments of food TO cOun-
tries involved in domestic insurTectiOn. 1t
requires our Government to use due dill
gence to prevent the departure from its
jurisdiction of any vessel intended to levy
war upon a nation with which the United
States are at peace" but it says nothing
about the ordinary mercantile exchanges,
and the neutrality laws are equally silent
on the subject.

STREET WORK.
Federal Authorities Not Paving
Lombard Street as Agreed.

J. J. Haley, one of the Missioa-street
widening Commissioners, notified the Street
Committee of the Board OF Supervisors yes
terday that another Commissioner should be
appointed to fill the vacancy caused by the
death of George Law Smith. II was de-
cided to recommend w. j. Somers.
Superintendent Gilleran informed the COM
mittee that the work of macadamizing Lom-
bard street, from Van Ness avenue to Lyon
street, is not being done according to the
agreement of the Federal authorities, and
recommended that it be stopped at once.
Captain McMurray, U. S. A., promised that
it should be made one lOf the finest boule-
wards in the State. The committee will ask
for an explanation. The maeadam, il is
said, is little better than mud.
Another effort will be made to pave Ken
lucky street, from Fourth to Denmark, all
objections to the work having been re-
moved.
1t was decided to recommend the grading,
macadamZing and sidewalking of CoIusa
street, from Vermont 10 Pennsylvania.
distance of twelve blocks. 1t will cost from
$4,000 to 100000.
Long arguments were made In favor of
extending PotTero avenue to the county
line, and the committee approved of the
project. Nothing definite will be done for
another week, however, so that protests
NAV be heard

"DOCTORED STORIES"

The New York Herald says that the ac-
counts Of the success of the Congressional
party in Chile have come through English
sources and are "d0ctOred to suit the pur-
poses Of English residents. The Herald
says the Congressional party is mainly sup
ported by the millionaire Edward, the Eng
lsh residents Of Valparaiso and Colonel
North, the nitrate king. The Herald cor
respondent adds that he does not believe
the rebellion will last sixty days longer.
The Government has 10000 soldiers in the
field, the other party only about 5000 troops
not We'll drilled or organized. The Herdld'S
report would put new face upon affairs in
Chile if there was any assurance that the
facts stated by its correspondent are true.

PICKING A QUARREL.

A dispatch from Venezuela by way Of
New York indicates desire on the part Of
England TO fnd pretext for a quarrel with
Venezuela which will enable England to
seize a province Of the South American
country. According to the dispatch an En-
glish subject named Campbell crossed the
river Amacuro from British Guiana into the
Province Of Barima, part Of Venezuelan
territory which is claimed by Great Britain
The ostensible purpose of Campbell was to
take up mines and open up land for English
colOnists A Venezuela Judge ordered
Campbell to take out the ordinary permit.
which he refused to do. The arrest of
Campbell was then ordered and in tie at
tempt TO enforce the order Campbell was
shot IN the arm. Campbell died few days
later OF iockjaw When intelligence of these
facts came to the English Government
force OF soldiers were dispatched to take
possession OF the district The alacrity
with ~hich the British Government comes to
the rescue Of subject complaining of mall
treatment in foreign country is worthy of
all praise. But this solcitude for the well
fare of its subjects in foreign lands ceases
TO be praiseworthy when it is made a pre-
text for taking military possession of COW
eted foreign territory. English subjects
