Call for a Meeting of Mormon Island
ers of the Year 40.
The warm weather and the warm rains
Bishop Wingfield has decided to retain
Rev. j. T. Shurtleff as pastor of the Epis-
copal Church at this place.
Experienced farmers assert that. instead
of being an injury, the recent rains will
be a great benefit to the fruit crop.
Richard Morris has called a meeting of
those persons who came to Mormon
Island on or before June 2, 1S49. Mon
day, the llth, is the time he would like to
meet them.
1t has been decided to close the public
school until the 18th. The existence of
diphtheria has caused q decided falling
off in the attendance, and it was deemed
advisable to close the school until the dis
ease is stamped out.
There has arrived at the depot another
boat of peculiar pattern designed for use
in the American River, behind the log
drive. This boat is much larger than the
one previously described by US, having
muchmore storage capacity, designed to
carry ten or twelve men safely in the
strongest water.
About dozen men passed through
town this week on their way to the log
drive at Mosquito Canyon. Many Of
these men are experienced log drivers !;
some from the Truckee River, some are
from Oregon, and others from Michigan
and Canada. They are all brawny, hardy
looking fellows, and we have no doubt
will be favorably heard from in their
operations along the south fork of the
American.

Too much stress cannot be laid upon the great adj
vantage to the ruitgrower of being in early locality
In most it makes the difference between success
and failure The industrious orchardSt of Capay Valley
may 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 trees 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 townstes have been laid out in different points
IN the valley, viz: Esparto, Cadenasso Guinda and
Rumsey. Town lots may now be purchased at reason
able prices and on easy terms.
The enterprisng and Aourshing town of Esparto is
situated at the lower end of the valley and SI25ooo
worth of substantial buildings have already been erected
blocks and waterworks, with pipes laid in the streets
The town has postoice, school-house and a weekly
paper and the fine railroad depot contains telegraph
and express offices.
Postoflces have also been established Guinda and
Rumsey This latter place situated 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 conCisey summed up:
soil of great fertility, yielding bountfuy 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 asns and
drying of fruit without the aid of artificial evaporators.
location that central and close to markets Railroad
communication which enables shipments to be made
quickly and cheaply. Lands which are sold cheaper
and on better terms than anywhere else in the State.

ART NOTES

The Academy of the Fine Arts of
Philadelphia has appointed committee
of five to arrange for display of Ameri-
can art at the exhibition in Berlin.
The architect of New York's Grant
monument will be John ii duncan. OF
that city, who designed the Soldiers and
Sailors memorial arch in Brooklyn. The
Grant memorial will cost $500, 900, but
the mausoleum up to the first story may
be finished for half the sum.
Madam Rosa Bonheur has been busy
painting at Fontainebleau. Her chief
task has been a large landscape, painted
in the vigorous style that is her bent.
The color. though it glows, is quiet A
herd of cattle make up the composition.
The picture is to go to London.
The Sacramento School of Design de-
sires to embrace other cities and towns in
the scheme of its art educational work.
1t will ask Woodland, Marysville, Chico.
Auburn and other places to take scholar
ships, to be known by the name of the
town, and to name pupils to benefit by
them.
Library and Studio" is the title of a.
new monthly magazine promoted in San
Francisco by Will NJ. Clemns, who is
also editor. The J. Dewing Company is
the publisher. 1t is breezy, newsy and
critical little journal and treats in short
articles of art and literature solely. The
current number May is attractive and
the editing is crisp, vigorous and inter
esting.
Verestchagin, the Russian painter. who
has recently arrived in New York. will
make an extended tour among the Sioux
and other Indian tribes. His design is
TO secure data for a great work on the
red man as he exists under the Govern
ment control in the United States. He
declined to say if he had imperial order
for his work, but the general impression
is that he has, and that it will be the eff
fort of his life.

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

The Pacific Improvement Company has re-
Gently purchased twelve thousand 2cres 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, 12O, 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 are as
sured that this is an opportunity to purchase
land of fair average quality at 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 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 $40
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.

dress VIM. II. MILLS,

ing Of the local land office at SacrA>

holds, THAT in order to defeat an ag-

be shown thst mineral is known to

Heretofore the practice has been to
