A RARE OPPORTUNITY
Good Agricultural Land for $40
to $40 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, and is offered
at from SO to $40 per acre, in subdivisions
OF 40, 80, 12o, 160 and320 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
interest 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 80 per acre.
and good agricultural land at $40 an acre
with other grades of land at prices to corre-
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 $50
an acre, and for qualities grading down to fair
agricultural land at SO an acre, on terms
OF payment which should make the DISPOSE
ton 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 settle
ment IN smaller quantities and its devotion to
diligent hushandry.

lation moves at the National Capital,
said: SIT requires a great deal of time to
do very little here. The commercial
and producing forces of this country
could not afford to waste so much val
liable time as is daily wasted here in
what they call debate"
The sentence does not call for analy-
sis-it is crystallization of truth that
carries with it its own comment. The
Congress of the nation certainly does
waste time that, in the business world,
would be esteemed absolute offense In
/ Spencer's famous essay upon 'The Sins
OF legislators not much if any consider
alton is given to legislative waste of time
II memory serves us Alright. The busi-
scientist, discovers, however, a grievous
sin in the laggard character of beneficent
legislation, due to the volume of debate
INDUCED in and the struggle for political
| advantage.
The man of affairs, as patriotic as any
other citizen, far-seeing and clearly dis
| corning what is for the veal of the coun-
try, is accustomed to grapple with prob
lens and solve them with prompt and
vigorous energy. To such, tiresome de-
bate is trifiing with serious propositions,
squandering of time that, as Mr. Hunt
lngton well puts it, the productive and
commercial forces of the country could
not tolerate in carrying forward the busi-
ness of the age-indeed, such prodigality
would work the ruin of the great con-
Germs of commerce.
No one would have haste substituted
for waste in the National Legislature
There must in law-making and the
fashioning of policies be deliberative;
but when this degenerates into unreason-
able waiting, material interests touched
by the propositions in hand suffer. For
instance, international copyright has
fingered these seven years in Congress,
and the end is not yet. But in all that
time no new argument has been advanced
against it, no new feature of the policy
proposed has been developed by the
weary months of debate. The shipping
| bill is another instance where there is no
reason whatever for delay. Congress has
at thirty sessions debated the French
spoilation claims bill, and nearly CEN
tury has swept by, yet still the National
Legislature has done nothing more than
debate measure that common Justice
demands should be passed.
The files of the Houses of Congress will
disclose propositions founded in right
that are gray with age and that have not
! advanced beyond debate for half hun
| dred years. Mr.. Huntington puts it
squarely; measures of unqustioned merit
by the score linger in the capacious lap of
debate because partisan advantage, reck-
less Of the time of the people, is made su-
perior to the country's needs. Tie states a
simple incontrovertible but exasperating
truth when he says:
when one party sees the other advo-
eating popular measure of advantage to
the country, the other opposes it in order
to gain that advantage themselves. We
are living in an age Of too much politics.

New York SUM-
Notwithstanding the stories about trains
running at 80 miles an hour in England,
nothing of the kind is provided in the time
tables of the London and Northwestern and
Great Northern, which admittedly have the
fastest scheduled trains in the kingdom.
The fastest train on the Northwestern is
the celebrated Scotch express, which makes
the run of 400 miles from London to Edin-
burgh in eight and one-half hours This is
at the rate of 51.6 miles an hour, allowing
for stops. The Royal Blue line trains make
the run of 226 miles between Now York and
Washington in five hours, which is at an
average speed OF 51.9 miles an hour, with
corresponding allowances for stops.
The Scotch express does better than 5f.6
miles an hour between certain stations. Its
best run is the 75H miles from Rugby to
Crewe in IS minutes, an average of 63 miles
an hour But the Royal Blue line also
makes some smart short runs On the Bal
timore and Ohio road, between Baltimore
and Washington, it averages 60 miles an
hour for the greater part of the 40 miles,
while the Reading and Jersey Central engi-
neers, in places, rush aloug at IS to 80 miles
an hour, and do it every day.
