Elsewhere in this paper will be
found two rather severe articles on
S, D. McEBery the lottery candidate
for governor. One is taken from
the Trinity Herald, a red:hot, pro
lottery paper, published almost at
McEnery's door, and edited by one
Of the ablest and most fear less lottery
advocates in North Louisiana. The
other is by the talented and vigor-
Gus editor Of the St. Mary Banner,
who never says anything be doesn'.
mean. Taken together they are a
most terrific arraignment of S. D.
McEnery under which he can NOT
remain silent.

ing plainly enough that the Ants
did not want t, go iuto white prim-

hope OF winning was by making an
alliance with the Third party ard
the Republicans. These are the
facts and the people know them.
The people who know the facts

howlers talk about morality and the
horrid immortality Of g~rogsaops, etc.
Why this is q political campaign and
not q camp meeting revival. The

ARARE OPPORTUNITY
Good Agricultural Land for $40
to $50 per 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 SO to $50 per acre, in subdivisions of
40, so, 40, 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 tnstallments. 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 2 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 $40 per acre,
and good agricultural land at $50 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 fruitgrowing, 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 $40
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 of large
holding for the purpose of promoting its set
tlement in smaller quantities and its devotion
