Too much stress cannot be laid upon the great adj
vantage to the ruitgr of being in early locality

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 $50 per acre, in subdivisions of
40, so, 100, 160 and $50 acres.
The terms upon which these lands are offered
are especially attractive. They win be sold in
subdivisions, as above indicated, by the pay
ment OF interest only for three years, ut 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 7 per cent. per annum,
making payments extending over period of
eight years. Intending purchasers are as
sured that this is an opportunity to purchase
land of fair average quality at SO per acre,
and good agricultural land at $50 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 he
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

THE POLITICAL FARMER.

The broadcloth and silk tile gentry
are worrying because the farmer has
not political wisdom enough to
know.what legislation is best for his
interests and are advising him
to keep out of politics.
It is little queer that those who
create the wealth Of the country are
not entitled to voice IN the man
agement of it. It is a little
queer that men who have never
worked anything but ther jaws
should be deemed best fitted to rep
resent the interests of those who
work with muscles and brains. This
movement of the farmers to assert
themselves is giving a dignity to
farming that no other influence can
effect. It is bringing it up to our
boys, "No matter how high your
ambition may be, farming will be no
bar to your influence and progress"
To the extent that we dignity farm
ing, to that extent do we contribute
to our national prosperity and gran
deur.

..pEM COOP Old DAYS.

Gan Old One" in the Statesman
calls up some pleasant memories,
says the Evening News of a recent
date. How often he San Old One"
sighed for "dem good old days?'
Money was plenty as every old citi-
zen knows, and not one man in ten
thousand was a borrower. Mort
cages were as scarce as hen teeth,
a pauper was unknown and every
body was prosperous and happy.

would shell out SIS and $50 in gold
for a barrel of -four, 81 for a dozen

Der, as late as 1867, would rig up a
wagon and send it to Brenham for
ice for our brilliant entertainments
given in the capitol. 1t cost US
about forty cents a pound, but the
boys could better afford to pay that
price than seventy cents per 100
pounds now. Truly was "dem good
old days" Hospitality was unstined,
men had confidence in each other
and were ever ready, if necessary, to
die for each other. In "dem good
old days. sums aggregating thous-
ands of dollars were loaned without
any interest at all and bless your
soul without even taking a note.
Gan Old One" has done that very
thing himself, but he would hardly
be caught doing it in these days.
Not much. It is dollars to dough-
nuts that Gan Old One" often signs
for "dem good old days"

FOREIGN GOSSIP.

Among the reports coming from
Europe is one of a deepening inter
est on the part of the Old World IN
the proposed fair at Chicago, says
an exchange. Of course, there is no
reason why monarchs, merchants
and artisans should not fell such an
interest, Twas a European sailor
that revealed the existence of a New
World beyond the Atlantic. The
colonization Of that western world
afforded scope for European enter
prise and proves for more than a
century. The treasures brought
from the New World gave a great
incentive to industry and invention
in Europe, and the best customers
of European merchants and manu-
facturers are found in North and
South America. It were strange,
indeed, if Europe were to slight the
invitation to visit that wondrous
city which our countrymen have
built by Lake Michigan during the
present century. But the American
commissioners have found a well
come in both our fatherland and
France. British and French alike
promise their aid in making the fair
memorable. And it is even asserted
that Kaiser William proposes to
honor the occasion with his pres
enee. If peace prevail in Europe,
and no complications occur in the
German empire, the monarch will
turn the prov of his yacht toward
New York, and journey thence to
Chicago. In the days of the cru
sades it was customary to proclaim
''the Truce of God" which guaran-
teed the monarch and knights who
had gone to the Holy Land against
any invasion of their territory for
the period of their absence. We
shall rejoice if our "Fair" shall Sc
cure such truce in Europe while
its doors are open.

TIE PROSPEROUS SOUTH.

The Manufacturers record has
never presented to its readers more
promising report as to the solidity
of the financial interests of the
South, the condition of the farmers
and business men, and the bright
outlook for a season of great pros,
perity in that section, that it recent
lY gave in the testimony of leading
bankers in every State from Virginia
to Texas. These reports are so
uniform in character that they may
be briefly summed up as follows:
With the coming of the panic
which followed the failure of Barring
Bros. all Southern business men and
bankers commenced at once to pre-
pare for trouble by strengthening
their financial position, contracting
their operation as much as possible,
and outstanding their resources in
every way in order that they might
be prepared to meet the expected
long period of financial stringency
The result has been that the South
is said to be less in debt than for
many years.
New enterprises for the develop
ment of mineral properties and for
town building operations which re-
quire large capital, haye been held
in allegiance to large extent. Spec
ulation almost entirely stopped, but
legitimate business interests have
been sustained, and steady solid
progress has been made even during
this period of depression. Last
years large cotton crop, following
three large yields, placed Southern
farmers in better position than for
some years, notwithstanding the low
prices. This year the South has
raised probably the largest grain
crops in its history, the aggregate of
wheat, corn and oats reaching in all
probability nearly 1O0,OOO,O00 bush
els more than last year. The enor-
nous increase in grain production
added to the abundant yields of
fruits and vegetables Will probably
fully offset the low price of cotton.
Moreover, this years cotton crop
has been raised with less indebted
ness than any crop for many years,
and the farmers are in many cases
reported to be less in debt than at
any time since the war.
While all business interests have
been quiet, awaiting the return of
confidence to the financial world,
everything has proceeded Oh quiet,
solid basis, and the outlook for
substantial development of the whole
South was never more promising.

THE JEWS IN PALESTINE.

The plan Of settling the Russian
Jewish refugees in the home of thei1
ancestors, Palestine, says the New
Orleans Times-Democrat, which was
strongly urged as the best solution
OF the difficulty encountering a
serious obstacle. The refugees are
willing to go there, the country is
well suited to them, is thinly inhabit-
ed, but capable of sustaining a large
population. Unfortunately, the
unspeakable Turk, who just as pres
emit is afflicted with a prof. Russian
craze, has thought to please the Gar
by refusing to allow the Jews to
settle or own land in Palestine with
out specil permit. Fifty families
who recently arrived there have been
sent back by steamer, and the jew
ish emigration to Judea, of course,
ceases, unless some arrangement can
be made with the Porte.
This, indeed, should have been
done before the emigration began,
and Baroh Hirsch and the other who
were at the head of the movement
should have seen to it. 1t is absurd
to send any people to Turkey unless
very distinct understanding, or
indeed contract, is made with the
latter country. 1t was proposed
when this emigration movement
first begun that the various Eu-
ropean nations should unite in in
sisting upon some agreement on the
part of the Porte that would assure
the Jewish refugees in Palestine
protection in their religion and prop
erty. Some such arrangement is
absolutely necessary, for it will not
do to subject the refugees to the
mercy of Turkey, which is as cruel
and tyraunical as Russia.
There seems to be no doubt that
Palestine will accommodate large
number Of the refugees, and that it
is not barren land, as is popularity
but can be restored to it's
former fertility; but the first thing
to be done is to assure the Jews who
propose to settle there protection
against such treatment as they have
met within Russia.

The weather crop bulletin from
Washington has this to say of the
status of the crop:
In North Carolina dry and favor
able week for farm work, but the
cool nights were injurious to cotton.
The crop is. badly rusted, is shedding
and opening very slowly.
In South Carolina the cool weather
and excessive rains of the previous
week caused rust and the shedding
and rotting of cotton; 25 per cent of
injury is fully verified.
In Alabama the cotton continues
to shed. Cool, dry weather caused
the plant to stop blooming. The
crop is badly diseased and the yield
will be reduced Is per cent.
In Mississippi cotton is opening
rapidly in the southern part of the
state. The late season would de-
velop some top crop in Delta and
the northern counties.
In Louisiana cotton on the up
lands has fallen off greatly owing to
rust, blight and shedding, but is
somewhat better in the lowlands.
In Arkansas the weather has been
too cool for cotton. Picking has
commenced. The cool nights con-
tinue and the cotton continues to
fall off slowly.
In Texas the first crop of early
planted cotton is generally good.
The showers Have improved the late
cotton and the top crop over the
northern, central and eastern por-
tons. In the other portions the
growth has stopped and rain would
be of benefit. The worms have dis

The Houston Age says: ''The at

ganized hostility of the cotton raisers
is not the first bad bad break Hum
phreys has made. Some two years ago
he induced Messrs. Tod and Mildly
to sell him for a nominal price some
very valuable land at Harrisburg by
representing that he was going to
establish large manufactury and
make extensive improvements and
bring in operative and build up the
town. After little Messrs. Tod and
Milby learned that Humphreys was
a fraud and brought suit in the
Harris county District court to can
Gel the conveyance. He employed
council, and claimed the property as

to be fraud and to have obtained
the property fraudulently, and a
judgement was obtained and de-
cree rendered vesting the title back
