Too much stress cannot be laid upon the great adj
vantage TO the fruit grower OF being an early locality
In most makes the difference between success
and failure The industrious orchardist 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
acres OF this rich land when the are in bearing
will yield handsome and assured income
The Capay Valley Land Company has an agent re-
siding in the valley whose duty is to show the various
tracts to land seekers.
-Four townsites have been laid out in different points
in the valley, viz: Esparto, Cadenasso, Gunda and
Rumsey. Town lots may now be purchased at reason
able prices and easy terms.
The enterprising and fourshng town of Esparto is
situated at the lower end of the valley and $4,000
worth OF substantial buildings have already been erected
including fine tour-story brick hotel large brick
blocks and waterworks, with pipes laid in the Streets
besides extensive warehouses and numerous residences
The town has postofice, school-house and weekly
paper, and the fine railroad depot contains telegraph
and express Offices.
Postofices have also been established at Guinda and
Rumsey This latter place situated at the head of the
valley, IS the present terminus of the railroad The
comfortable little hotel makes excellent quarters for
hunters as well as land-seekers.
The advantages enjoyed by the settler in Capay Val
ley may be thus concisely summed up:
A soil of great fertility yielding bountully of every
crop.
A soil and climate which will ripen all kinds of fruit
vegetables earlier than anywhere else in the State
ana climate perfectly adapted the curing of asins and
drying of fruit without the aid of artificial evaporators

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

The Pacific Improvement Company has re-
Gently purchased twelve thousand @cres 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
10, so, 100, 100 and 800 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 installmentG. 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 : 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 SEQ 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 $50 to
500 an acre. An examination of the land
subject of this advertisement will prove to
home-scekers 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 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
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.

HIGHBTNDERs IN TROUBLE.

The police of San Francisco have moved
shrewdly against the Chinese Highblnders,
with the probable object of driving them out
of that city, The Highbinders threaten to
take their case into court, but it is not prob
able they would have much of a standing
there if they did and such course would
bring dire consequences to their friends and
relatives left in the Celestial Kingdom. The
police have taken their josses and they have
no means of leYying tribute upon the den-
liens of Chinatown any more. This is the
cause Of their complaint The act OF the
San Francisco authorities NAV SAVIOR of in
terfering with the worship of the Chinese
according to the dictates of their consciences,
but as the worship is that of joss it is hardly
within the meaning of the bill of rights 1t
may also be said that Judging from all ac-
counts Of Highbinder practices they may be
reasonably suspected of having no con-
sciences 10 dictate to them.

ECONOMY COUNTS JUST NOW.

In view of the statements of Mayor Gour-
ley in re the Poor Farm inspection and of
the manifest needlessness of buying big
tract and paying away beyond the usual
range of farm land prices for it, Councils
will probably go slow about taking any one
of the farms offered. The city should pur-
sue the same course that ordinary prospect
ors would. 1t ought to be sure first what it
reasonably needs, and next get what it
needs ct a reasonable price. A farm of
fifty acres or at the most one Of an hundred
acres is about all that can be handled by
the Charities Department with profit or any
sort of advantage. Ifnothing of the sort at
usual market rates has offered, the city
could better afford to lodge its wards at
town hotel until something suitable turns
up than make a permanent investment of
several times as great as the occasion calls
for.
In these days with increased taxation
limited at for other purposes, and the street
improvement expenditures unprovided for,
judicious enconomy becomes a timely char
acteristic at City Hall.

CHICAGO's MILK TRUST.
Its Ingenious Method for Preventing a |
Flooded Market.

Its Ingenious Method for Preventing a
Flooded Market.
CHICAGO, Feb Ais the price of milk to be
raised? That is the question which is at pres
ent agitating the minds of the milk dealers in
this city. About two weeks ago the shippers
from the surrounding country organized the
Milk Shippers Association. Yesterday the de-
tails of the organization were perfected, and to
protect the members it was decided to make
every dealer furnish a bond for the payment of
milk. All the milk will be handled through the
the association, and no dealer can buy single
can unless he furnishes the required bond for
the full amount
To remedy the difficulty that occurs when
there is a surplus sinking fund will be pro-
vided by assessing each member cents for
every can of milk he ships. When there is
surplus instead of shipping to the city. the
members will use their milk for making butter.
AS the milk is not worth to them when used
this way as much as when sold, there is a conse-
quent loss. This loss will be paid out of the
sinking fund, and milk will never, as a dealer
put, flood the market" The city dealers are
not jubilant over the turn affairs have taken,
and are wondering whether or not they are in
the hands Of a full blown Milk Trust

INVITING CHANCES FOR RECORD.

Whether it is owing solely to the granger
man, or partly to an awakening among
members from the cities also, the grateful fact
is apparent that the present legislative
session in Pennsylvania promises to be
notable for its opportunities to deal effec-
lively with several matters of broad
public concern. In taking up the road
question alone, it enters upon field of the
utmost usefulness. We can never have fit
country roads if wider interest and more
efficient activity be not applied to them than
can be evoked from mere township or county
organizations There must be a State
standard, State encouragement and some
measure of State supervision. If the present
Legislature will pass a good working law for
the roads, that simple enactment would of
itself make a distinguished record in the
annals of Harrisburg.
Again, upon the great issue of water trans
portation, which is now attracting the atten-
ton of our people as it has never done be-
fore, it is the privilege of the present Legis-
lature to originate plans of vital Importance
to the future development and prosperity OF
distinctive Pennsylvania industries. Here
the path may be obstructed at the start by
near-sighted opposition from railroad inter-
ests, and by as yet immature views of men,
bers who have not fully examined and do
not adequately comprehend tine scope and
possibilities of these Improvements. But the
obstacles can be overcome if the colleagues
who have made study of the subject press
it forward with vigor proportioned to their
intelligence.
Again, in response to the appeal of the
oil men and of complaints against excessive
telephone charges, the Legislature is called
upon to deal with the principle of just
regulation of tariffs for corporation services.
is far from radical. 1t does not call for any
regulation which would cut down the profit
of the corporations concerned below a fair
or even large profit upona all of the capital
invested. 1t proceeds solely upon the sound
basis that where public franchises are given,
and these become practically monopolistic,
the power and the duty rest with the Legis-
lature of the Commonwealth to see that they
are not made the instruments of conspicuous
e1tortion or oppression. Here, again, the
present Legislature will be met by Insiduous
opposition. 1t remains to be seen whether
it is equal to rising above this, and to the
discharge of its functions honestly and fear
lessly.
Such is part of the inviting prospectus
which opens out before the body now sitting
at Harrisburg. 1t has been slow enough in
its progress so far, only a single bill
having, as we understand, yet obtained final
passage. But there is ample time still for
the performance of much good work if the
Legislature has the will to undertake it.
The public will watch its further movements
with genuine interest.

THE COUNTY SALARY QUESTION.

County Controller Grier is evidently de-
termined 10 keep the atmosphere lively
about the Court House. In his first months
career be has succeeded in making things
interesting for the official world in the big
granite pile, by raising the question of the
compensation Of deputy coroners, by join
ing issue on the alleged advance in county
officials salaries on account of the advance
Of population, and finally by the bill filed
Yesterday for the mandatory formation of a
salary board.
These proceedings place the new Con-
troller in asrathe- pugnacious attitude; but
it is really q kind Of puguacity that will be
accompanied by good results. The Con-
troller seems to be determined that what
ever is done in the line of advancing sala-
ries because the county has advanced to the
first class, shall be done on an indisputa-
bic legal foundation, and that nothing shall
be done which is NOT required by law. The
last proceeding is evidently intended to Set
tie the status of the county. In that view
il is likely to reach by the shortest route a
final settlement of the disputes which the
Controllers incumbency has SO far been
prolific in producing.
The questions which the Controller has
raised are well worth authoritative settle
ment, and the disturbances which he has
caused in the official atmosphere are clearly
in the interest of the public and in the line
OF his duty.
