Cattle Kings Must Pay Fare Hereafter.

CHICAGO. Dec. 19.-The meeting of general
livestock agents OF the Western roads which
was in session for two days in this city resulted
in the adoption of a resolution by which, taking
effect Jan. ], the issue of free transportation to
livestock shippers is to be abolished, except
that provided for i'll the classification and Tariffs
The latter allows the transportation of only the
number of train attendants necessary to look
after the stock in transit. IL has heretofore
been the custom for cattle kings to ride free TO
Chicago on nearly all roads, and the question OF
putting stop to this practice has been under
dysement for several months. The agents
formed an organization under tho name OF the
livestock Agents Association, and elected o.
II. Brown, of the Atchison. president, and H. G..
treasurer.

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

+. The Pacific Improvement Company mas re,
Gently purchased twelve thousand ceres OF
land in the heart of TehanIa 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 $40 to $40 per acre, in subdivisions OF
90, so, 120, $50 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
nent 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 pTin-
ctpsl is to be paid for three years. and then
the purchaser is to have five years in which to
pay hve equal annual installments, with in
terest 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 SIC per acre,
and good agricultural land at $40 an acre,
with other gradec OF land at prices to CORE
spon9 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 tc
500 an acre. An examination of the land
subject of this advertisement VIII prove to
homc-seekers that this is an opportunity for
tho purchase of good agricultural land at $40
aa acre, and for qualities grading down to fair
agricultural land at SO an acre, on terms Of
payment which should make the disposition
of these lands to actual settlers result easy of
accom- plishment.
The primary object of the purchase of this
body of land was the breaking up of large
holding for the purpose of promoting it's set
Element in smaller quantities and its devotion
to dilgent husbandry.
