Messrs J.. D. and F. o. Lege have
a fine stand of rice on their place on
Coalee Kinney and with an album
dance of water are certain OF making
a large crop if no accident beyond
human control prevents.
The rice crop Of the parish this
year will DO something incredible if
no storm, or bad weather during
harvest, occur to damage the ripened
grain. Nearly every one has plant
ed some of the cereal and many have
done so extensively. With such
weather as we ore nov having it is
bound 10 make a splendid yield,
and only fair weather during harvest

Of rice which will positively startle
our people.

Last Tuesday night bunch of stolen
cattle were detected in the city. An old
man named Wells, who lives on the

pasture. A few days ago he went up
there to see about them but they were
gone. He arrived in this city last night.
A bout that time Henderson and Carroll
BrannOn were trying to make bargain

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

The Pacific Improvement Company has re-
Gently purchased twelve thousand ceres OF
landin the heart of Tehama County, for the
purpose of promoting subdivision and settle
ment This iand 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, 120, 160 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
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
nuai lnstallments. Thus no part of the prin-
clpal is to be paid for three years, and then
the purchaser is to have hve years in which to
pay five 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 SO 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
800 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
VI these lands to actual settlers result easy OF
accomplishment.
Inc primary object of the purchase Of this
body OF land was the breaking up of q large
nf
tlement in smaller quantities and its devotion
to dillgent husbandry.
