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

The Pacific Improvement Company has re-
Gently purchased twelve thousand ceres 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 $40 to $40 per acre, in subdivisions OF
40, 80, 120, 100 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 instalments, with in
terest at the rate of 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 SO 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 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 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 of large
holding for the purpose of promoting its set
tlement in smaller quantities and its devotion
to diigent husbandry.

The train records show that 1l6 more
loaded cars were received and forwarded
at this point in the week ending Oct. IL.
than in the week endiag Oct. 10, yet in
neither of these weeks has the number
handled been as large as in the correspond

the Pennsylvania and the c.. II. 81 ID. lines.
Most of the roads have as much business as
they can move with promptness. Last
year in October the roads had side-track KS

last week was q little off. more
for want of cars for Baltimore and Newport

The Western lines are now bringing IN

freight ia largely dry goods, heavy groce-

The roads are looking after their To-
cal business more diligently than ever
before Local agents have learned to make
good records the local traffic should be first
attended to. through traffic being second

lied By the Central Traffic ASSOCIATION on
west-bound freights gives the Indianapolis
shippers and manufacturers advantages
which they have never before been favored
with. Below is given the number of load
