Too much stress cannot be laid upon the great ad-
vantage to the rutgroWer OF being in early locality.
In cases it makes the difference between success
and failure The industrious orchardist of Capay Valley
may rest assured that he will derive ell the benefits gained
by the first fruit shipments OF the season. and that 20
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 it is show the various
tracts to land seekers.
-Four townsitcs have been laid out in different points
IN the valley viz: Esparto, Cadenasso, Gtlinda and
Rumsey. Town lots may now be purchased at reason
able prices and on easy terms.
The enterprising and fourishng town OF Esparto is
situated the lower end of the valley and $I25 900
worth Of substantial buildings have already been erected
blocks and waterworks with pipes laid in the streets,
The town has postofice schoohouse and weekly
paper and the fine railroad depot contains telegraph
and express offices.
Postofices have alse 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 concisey summed up
soil of great fertility yielding bountfully of every
crop.
A soil and climate which will ripen all kinds of fruit
and vegetables earlier than anywhere else in the State

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

The Pacific improvement Company mas re.
Gently purchased twelve thousand ceres of
land in the heart of Tehama County, for the
purpose of promoting subdivision and settle
lnent. This land embraces lands from first
class Sacramento Valley agricultural land, to
land Of fair average quality, and is offered at
from SO to $40 per acre, in subdivisions of
40, 80, 120, 100 and $40 acres.
The terms upon which these lands are offered
are especially attractive. They will be sold in
subdivisions, as above indicated, by the pay
rcent 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 installmeats. Thus no part Of Che prin-
cip1l is 10 be paid for three years, and then
the purchaser is to have five years In which 20
pay i've equal annual iustallmeats, with in
terest at tie rate of 7 per cent. per annum,
making payments extending over a period OF
eight years. Intending purchasers ere as-
sured that this is an opportunity 70 purchase
l2nd OF fair average quality at SIC per acre,
Gnd good agricultural land at $40 ar acre,
with other gradeS Of ian0 at prices to CORE
sponG between these figures.
The assertion is frequently made that good
lands, suitable for general farming and es-
pecially adapted for fruit-erawinE, cannot be
had in California for less than from $50 &c
$100 an acre. An examination OF the land
subject of this advertisement Wiz prove 10
home-seekers that this IS an opportunity for
the purchase OF good agricultural land at $50
az acre, and for qualities grading down to fair
agricultural land at SO an acre, on terms u
payment which should make the disposition
of these lands 20 actual settlers result easy OF
accomplishments.
The primary object Of tie purchase of this
body OF land was the breaking up OF large
holding for the purpose OF promoting its set

When the Poor Horse Suffers.

Horses are great sufferers from tooth
ache, according to veterinary surgeon
who says this complaint is the real
cause Of many runaway that is attri
buted to viciousness. Horses teeth
are very subject to decay, land no atten-
tion is paid to dentistry for their bene-
ht, as ought to be the case. Thus it
sometimes happens that the metal bit
striking upon the exposed nerve Of a
tooth will set the animal wild in a
moment and start him off upon the run.
In fact, for the time being, the poor
beast is actually crazy and not respon-
sible for what he does.- CarbOndale

Christmas Greeting.

Christmas again stands on
the threshold and through the
open door proclaims the old,
old song, "Peace on earth good
will to men," A desire to
make others full OF the Joys of
Christmas, fills every heart.
All the ups and downs and
crosses that have seemed to
possess all of three hundred
and sixty-four days Of the year
are forgotten, brows relax,
hearts soften and purse
strings are loosened.
How to make others happy
is uppermost in every mind.
The world keeps this holy of
holiest days in this open heart
ed manner guided only by love
and human kindness. How
shall remember this one and
that one is the study Of the
seeker after Christmas Gifts.
Let us ask here what gift is
more acceptable than books
books that delight and enter
tain that instruct and amuse,
that profit all who use them,
young and old.
To guide the embarrassed
searcher and to show him what
to get and how to get it is our
aim.
We invite you to come and
look over our Christmas books
and fancy goods, pictures, etc.
We do not have all the books
in stock that have been pub
lished this year, but we can
get them for Christmas and
will guarantee the price to be
