Statistics comparing the commerce OF

with that of the year previous give little
consolation to those who prophesi.d dire
disaster as result of the passage of the
Mckinley bill. The foreign commerce OF
the United States for the last fiscal year
exceeded that of the former year, which
was upprecededently large, by $50 DOC, 0a0
Our exports exceeded our imports BY
nearly $4,000 900. Nearly one-half of
the imports since the Mckinley bill went
into effect have been duty free, while for
the corresponding period prior To that
time, the goods imported duty free. was
less than 80 per cent. This does not look
as though the bill was destroying the

Serious DANGER

threatens every man, woman or child
living in region of country where fever
and ague is prevalent, since the germs OF
rnalariI disease are inhaled from the air
and are swallowed from the water of such
region. Medicinal safeguard is abso-
lutely necessary to nullify this danger.
As means OF fortifying and acclimating
the system so as to be able to resist the
malarial poison, Hostette.'s Stomach Bit
ters is incomparably the best and the
most popular. Irregularities of the
stomach, liver and bowels encourage
malaria; but these are speedily rectified
by the Bitters. The functions of diges-
ton and secretion are assisted by its use,
and vigorous as well as regular condi-
ton of the system promoted by it. Con-
stitution and physique are thus defended
against the inroads' of malaria by this
matchless preventive, which is also cer-
tain and thorough remedy in the worst

A RARE OPPORTUNITY
Good Agricultural Land for SO
to $50 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, 120, 160 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 instaliments, with in
terest at the rate of per cent. per annum.
making payments extending over a period of
eight years. Intending purchasers are as
sureo 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 espe-
ciaiiy adapted for fruit-growing, cannot be
mad III California for 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 a result easy
of accomplishment.
The primary object of the purchase Of this
oody OF land was the breaking up of n large
holding for the purpose OF promoting its set
tlement in smaller quantities and its devotion
to diligent husbandry.
For further particulars call upon, or address.
