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

The Pacific Improvement Company has re-
ccntly purchased twelve thousand ceres OF
land in the heart Of Tehama County, for tbs
purpose of promoting subdivision and settle
nsnt. This land embraces lands 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, 80, 40, 16O and $40 acres.
The terms upon which these lands are offered
are especially attractive. They will sc sold in
subdivisions, as above indicated, by the pay
nlent 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 Snstallments. Thus no pare OF the prin-
cipsl is TO be paid for three years, and then
the purchaser is to have five years in which to
pay i've equal annual instannents, with in
terest at the rate of per cent. per annuTn,
making payments extending over a period OF
eight years. Intending purchasers are as
sured that this is an opportunity to purchase
land CT fair 3verage, quality at so per acre,
and good agricultural land at $50 an acre,
with other grades OF land at prices TO CORE
seonG between these figures.
The assertion is frequently made that good
lands suitable fer general farming. and eS-
pecially adapted for fruit-growing, cannot be
haG in California for less than from $50 to
500 an acre. An examination of the land
subject of this advertisement win prove TO
home-seekers that this is an opportunity for
the purchase OF good agricultural land at $50
an ecre, and for qualities grading down to fair
agricultural land at $40 an acre, on terms of
payment which should make the disposition
o2 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
Eoiding for the purpose OF promoting its set
tlement in smaller quantities and its devotion

PRESIDENT pUpLEY's RESIGNATION.
The thing Of the most interest in city politics
is the resignation Of Hiram G. Dudley. presi-
dent OF the board of supervisors Of elections.
Mr.. Dudley's resignation is for the purpose Of
removing all doubt as to his eligibility q cam
dldate for clerk Of the Criminal Court. The
question was raised some months ago by an
opinion from Attorney General Whyte that
Dudley was ineligible as q candidate for the
one office while holding the other. Dudley's
friends Immediately obtained contrary opin-
ions from a number Of leading lawyers, but it
has been decided wisest for him TO resign. more
especially as by remaining in Office he would
have to take part in the appointment of the
Judges and clerks for his own election. Senator
John L. Poe has given an opinion in the case Of
county supervisors OF elections who are candi-
dates at the neXtelection for other Offices, hold
ing that they are ineligible. Congressman Page

law regarding the city and the county super.

visors are only precluded under the law from
becoming candidates "st the next ensuing
election. Under this it is argued that Dudley
by reslgning can be q candidate at the next
election. though Attorney General Whyte holds
that II resignation will not mako him eligible

affairs at the stock exchange are still dull
investment transactions being limited and spec
niative operations confined to maneuvers for
the advantage of transient slight fluctuations
in prices. The hesitancy is not due to anything
unsatisfactory in the conditions intrinsicallv
affecting the current value of securities: on the
contrary, those conditions seem to be regarded
as warranting a better range of prices than
now exists. providing all other influences we're
equally satisfacto
The real cause of the postponement of on
eratlons lies in beclouded condition Of the
foreign situation and in the uncertainty as to
what may be Its outcome within the remaining
half OF the year. The position of affairs at the
European financial centers. though at the mo-
ment more settled than it has been, is still far
from being hopeful one.
according to the crop estimates, we are in
position to furnish to Europe close upon-or
possibly fully-one-half Of its total required
imports OF wheat. This means that this one

To Investigate the Grasshopper Pest.

The arrival of the much-dreaded grasshop-

called to the attention of the Department
of Agriculture, together with the informa-
ton that they have already spread from Ari-

Dakota. As yet it is not known here whether
these migratory nuisances whose advent was
mentioned in The STAR few days ago are the
old reliable seventeen-year locusts or simply
the ordinary grasshopper Of the plains in
unusual numbers. The return of the
former and more unwelcome visitor
has been prophesied for about
this time and there Is considerable apprehcn-

issued a bulletin to farmers some time ago tell
ing them how to distinguish between the two
classes, the grasshopper and the seventeen-yea
locust, and also giving directions as to how best
to fight them.
