ARARE OPPORTUNITY
Good Agricultural Land for $40
to $50 per Acre.


The Pacific Improvement Company has re-
Gently purchased twelve thousand acres 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, aud is offered at
nom SO TO $40 per acre, in subdivisions of
10, 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 annuDl,
making payments extending over a period of
eight years. Intending purchasers are as
sured that this is an opportunity to purchase
iano OF falr average quality at $40 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 he
had in California for less than from $50 TO
SlOO an acre. An examination OF the land
subject of this advertisement viii prove TO
home-seekers 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 $40 an acre, on terms OF
payment which should make the disposition
of these lands to actual settlers a result easy OF
accomplishment.
The primary object of the purchase of this
body of land was the breaking up of a large
holding for the purpose of promoting its set
tlement in smaller quantities and its devotion
TO diligent husbandry.

have shut down--perhaps for all winter,
