Get Mad About the Bad Roads.

Every citizen who pays his taxes and
lives in obedience to the law OF the land is
entitled to good road to his county seat,
to his usual market place, to his church
and wherever else he may choose to go.
OF course he must be willing TO do his full
share toward the making and maintain
ing of such roads. We suggest to our
readers that they all indulge in vigorous
kicking whenever they are compelled to
travel a bad road. Get mad about it.
Scold the overseer and everybody else. Do
anything to call public attention to it.
Organize an indignation meeting and re-
solve that it is an insufferable outrage.
We viii have good roads as soon as The
public generally becomes sufficiently in
terested in the question to demand them.
Anything that will call the attention OF
the people to the question and keep it
constantly before the public will hasten
the time when good roads will be the rule.
Never let up on the road question. .-Boli-
var Free Press.

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

The Pacific Improvement Company has re.
Gently purchased twelve thousand ceres OF
land in the heart of Tehama County for the
purpCse 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
30, So 12O, 16O and 500 acres.
The terms upon which these lands are offered
are especially attractive. They will be sold IL
subdivisions, as above indicated, by the pay-
ment of interest only for three years, at which
time the purchaser can begiE the payment OF
principal by paying the first OF five equal am
nual installments. Thus no part of che Drin-
cipul is to be paid for three years and then
the purchaser is to have five years in which 10
pay five equal annual installments, with in
terest at the rate of 7 per cent. per annun.
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 SIC per acre,
and good agricultural land at $50 an acre
with other grades Of land at prices to CORE
spoa6 between these figures.
The assertion is frequently made that good
lands, suitable for general farming and es-
peciaily adapted for fruitgrowing, cannot be
had in California for less than from $50 tC
800 an acre. An examination of the land
91NJeot VI IiAis udNeIIlSeinSIlL WIZ prove -
homc-seekers that this is an opportunity ior
the purchase of good agricultural land at 500
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 result easy OF
accomplishment.
The primary object of the purchase OF this
body Of land was the breaking up ofa large
holding for the purpose of promo;ingE Ets set
tlement in smaller quantities and its dsvosi0n
to diligent husbandry.

FIRE BUGS AT WORK.

What looked very much like an in
cendiary fire was discovered on
Punchbowl street in time to prevent
damage early Saturday morning.
MIR. James Lyle of the Marine Rail
way went up town shortly after mid
night, to wake up the engineer of the
works, Mr.. Hugh Munro, whom he
wanted to get up steam for hauling
vessel on the ways at daylight. When
the two men were Oh their way to
the railway, they discovered a baz-
ing faggot inserted in board fence
near where the street turns off to the
immigration station. The fire was
promptly stopped. If it had a few
minutes more of Roadway, however,
there would probably have been
havoc done amongst the many domi-
Giles in that corner.
Sunday morning evidences of
fire bugs tiendish intent were dis
covered in the thickly built plot near
the Palama stone bridge. They were
in the shape of piled kindlings close
to Chinese crib, with the regulation
vessel of Kerosene oil lying near,
also footprints leading from the spot.
The noxious rascal had probably been
frightened off some way before get
ting his match applied.

The Hawaii Club meets on the
Association ground this afternoon for
its first club practise.
There is probability that a club
will be organized of the pick of the
Honolulu and Star clubs. No name
has yet been agreed on for the new
club. With it there will be in this
seasons League the Kamehameha
and the Hawai- clubs.
Mr.. Harry Whitney, captain Of the
Honolulus, believes that three clubs
will give better baseball than a
greater number, owing to the pro-
porIionate increase in match practise
To each club. He is probably cor

other features most favorable, IN an
engineering point of view. This
lake, being great reservoir, is but
little Influenced by the rainfall, and
the same is, of course, true of the
river which is its outlet.
The main features Of the Canal
now being constructed, are the fol-
lowing: The Lake and upper River
will be the summit level of the Canal
there will be cut tn ough the neck
of land between the Lake and the
Pacific, the greatest depth o. this
excavation being 40 feet, and tae
Canal quickly emerging upo" lie
Western slope of this neck of land,
will reach the Pacific through the
valley of a small stream which flows
into that Ocean, descending to the
sea level by means of three locks.
Going Eastward from the Lake
toward the Caribbean Sea, the San
Juan River will be followed for
distance of GA miles from the Lake,
at which point the River will be dam
med to such height as will back its
waters to the Lake, raising the level
of the Lake to a uniform height of
10 feet above the level of the sea,
and thus deepening the water in the
upper River to such a degree that
but little dredging will be needed
throughout the 81 miles.
The upper river, being of the same
general character as the lake, is not
subject to violent freshets. The
lower portion, receiving some large
tributaries from the neighboring
mountains, possesses different and
more unstable character. Fer this
reason the line of the canal leaves
the river at this dam, GA miles from
the lake, and pursues straight
course across country TO the Carrib-
bean Sea at Greytown, making use
of some convenient interior valleys
by means of dams at their outlets,
and thus continuing the summit level
until it energies from a combining
range of hills, and looks down upon
the Is miles of fiat and marshy land,
between the hills and the coast.
Here, upon the eastern slope of these
hills, the canal descends by three
locks, to the level of the sea, and
continues its course by dredging to
the Harbor of Greytown. The total
distance from ocean to ocean, by this
route, is 1863 miles, of which ~
miles will be eXcavated canal, and
l42 miles free navigation in Lake
Nicaragua, the River San Juan and
basins in the valley of the smaller
streams.
To describe it more in detail, be-
ginning at the Atlantic or Caribbean
side, the canal starts from Greytown
Harbor by dredging 8 miles to Lock
No. l, in the valley of a small stream,
the Deseado. Lock No. | has lift
of 30 feet The dimensions of all
the locks are uniform, namely, $50
feet long by 20 feet wide, by 80 feet
deep.
