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

Inc Pacific improvement Company has re-
Gently purchased twelve thousand ceres Of
land in the heart Of Tehama County. for ths
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 500 per acre, in subdivisions of
40, so, 120, 100 and $50 acres.
The terms upon which these lands are offered
are especially attractive. They viii 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 i've equal an
nual installments. Thus no part Of the prin-
cipal is tc be paid tor three years. and then
the purchaser is to have five years in which to
pay i've equal annual iRstallments, with in
terest at the rate Of 7 per cent. per annum,
making payments extending over a 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 acrs,
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-
pecialy adapted for fruit-growing, 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 scre, 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 c large
holding for the purpose of promoting its set
Nement in smaller quantities and its devotion
to diligent husbandry.
For further particulars, call upon or ad.

under the old system that gave the white
man property rights in his black mental,
and made it to his interest to conserve
the property value. There a seeming
efficiency is secured only by the applica-
ton Of the lash and the infiction of tor
ture. Here it would be quite as bad,
though the method might be different.
In the South the life Of the outdoor en-
ployed convict is Of small consideration,
and the shooting down and beating to
death Of prisoners has long been Of daily
occurrence.
But, further, even under the most
favorable conditions such employment of
convict labor has been. and always must
be, uneconomic in comparison with free
labor. Enforced service never has, and
never can accomplish as can and does
free and rewarded labor. There is no in
stance on record where slave labor in
large employment enterprises has ever
successfully competed with free labor
on that the concensus of the opinions of
observers and inquirers, has been almost
unanimous opinion.
Still again; such work for convicts
would be the most venal Job the poll
ticians could find. They would fatten
upon it and make it an instrument for
jobbery and corruption. 1t would take
three guards for every prisoner and,
under our political prison system, houses
would have to be built for the safe keep
ing of the convIets by night and strong
forces of guards employed day and night.
The transportation of the guards and the
prisoners would form very large item
in the bill of expense. while there would
be an involved and leaky system of sub
sistence that would breed corruption.
Such employment, for these reasons,
and because enforced labor never ac-
complishes results economically compar-
able with the labor of free men, would
make the cutting OF the outlet cost the
State greatly more than under the en-
ployment Of free labor. So that all con-
siderations, reason and experience COM
bine to oppose the scheme. Even were it
possible to make enforced or prison labor
equally as productive as free labor in the
mere matter of the output of energy,
there remain the considerations that are
conclusively potent in opposition to the
scheme, such as we have indicated, the
opening of the doors of opportunity to
the venal; the freedom it would give to
the low-down politicians to engage them
selves in the matter; the brutalizing ten
dency of such employment, and the de-
struction of the reformatory discipline
that can only be carried out in a prison
presided over by capacity, experience
and conscience.
The whole scheme is weak; it moves
upon lines at right angles to all the les
sons of experience, the opinions of the
best penologists, and the judgment of
business wisdom. The question of con-
structing a relief way for the waters of the
tule basin should not be involved by the
projection Of the scheme of convict labor
employment. Whatever is done in the
direction Of such important work must be
based upon the employment of free labor
and the use of the best modern mechani-
cal devices.

AN inspector of election in san Fran
cisco on Thursday testified in an exam
ination before the Police Court that the
Election Board in mis- precinct robbed the
poor-box of the contributions of the
voters, and treated the members of the
board to beer and cigars with the pro-
ceeds. And of such are the Election
Boards of the metropolis composed in a
large number of cases. 1t could be no
worse if that special election commission
were abolished. 1t would seem to be a
piece Of useless and obstructing machin-
cry. The choice it made of election Off
Gals ought, in view of recent revelations,
to make its members blush for shame.
Think of twenty odd Election Boards
with so small supply of brains as to
ignore the direction of the law and seal
up the duplicate tally sheets with the
originals, and thus tie the hands of the
officials in ascertaining results promptly.

CONVICT LABOR AND A RELIEF
CUT

The question of cut through the mar
rowest feasible way in the Montezuma
hills, to give the waters of the tule basin
discharge, is being again agitated Rec
lamation of the islands having so much
closed the delta of the Sacramento River.
would seem to make this new or arti-
fetal escape way for flood waters propo-
sition worthy of renewed consideration
from the standpoint of relief for flood
waters, and wholly Independent of
reclamation problems.
But since the question has again come
to the front, a proposition is being
mooted to employ prison labor to accom-
plish the work. 1t is proposition that
must at once be put on one side perma-
nently. Any and all employment of con-
Wet labor in outdoor work away from
the prisons is bad. It becomes a sort of
slavery. as has been demonstrated be-
yond all question in several States of the
South. This the slavery has been in
fnitely worse than that which existed

RAILROAD COMPETITION TO SAN
FRANCISCO.

In recent editorial, published in this
paper, and relating to the general ques-
ton as to the reason of the disparity
of growth between Northern and
Southern California, we pointed out
that the claim of railroad compe-
tition having influenced the result
could have no significance, because the
rates of transportation for freights and
passengers from the commercial cities of
the East and from the populous centers of
the East, were exactly the same to Marys-
vile, Sacramento, Stockton, San Jose and
San Francisco as to Los Angeles or
that whether the rates were high or low,
they had been the same. But, strange as
1t may seem, we forgot the fact that San
Francisco has competing line of road.
The Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe and
the Atlantic and Pacific, which own a line
from Chicago to Mojave, have leased the
lines Of the Southern Pacific Company
from Mojave to San Francisco for their
own independent use for passengers and
freight from Eastern cities to San Fran
CISCO Its right to use the line is in all
respects the equivalent of its ownership.
We would call the attention of the Bull
letin to this fact, if we entertained the
slightest idea that the Bulletin was engag-
ing in the current discussion of transpor-
tation methods from an honest stand
point. Its contribution to the discussion
is simply from the standpoint of hostility;
nor is its opposition an honest one. It
has adopted policy of opposing the rail
road, and its motive proceeds from that
policy. 1t has a journalistic policy and
has no regard whatever for property
rights or the public interest. Having
adopted a policy, which in its opin-
ion is best calculated to promote
the financial interests of the paper, it
very naturally acquires a sentiment of
hostility. 1t first chooses to be hostile; it
thenmistakes its own rawlings for state
ments of fact, and believes itself to be
actually exasperated. In the latter stages
of this assumed virtue its opposition be-
comes a mere sottshness of the mind.
Notwithstanding this, it is a curious
fact that in all the Bulletin has said con-
corning railroad competition to the sea-
board, it has perpetually forgotten that
the Atlantic and Pacific, and Atchison.
Topeka and Santa Fe run passenger and
freight trains at rates determined bv
themselves to and from the city Of San
Francisco. They did not build their road
for the benefit of the commerce of the
Pacific Coast. They built it for the purpose
of rewarding the capital invested in it. 1t
was financial venture for profit, and the
next road, or next half-dozen roads. built
from any point to San Francisco. will be
built with Ike motive and operated with
like results. The most phenomenal fool
of modern times is the one who believes
that railroad would be built and oper-
ated for the sole purpose of reducing the
reward of capital invested in railroads.
and there is an epidemic Of this kind of
foolishness in San Francisco, and the CEN
ter of the contagion is the Office of the
Bulletin.

Mr.. JAY GOULD left small but costly

But they were all collected for him by the
art critic, Chapman. 1t would seem that
wealth, which endows its possessor with
financial capacity to possess, ought to
stimulate to such cultivation of taste as to
enable the man of means to crafty his
own taste-which ought to be good taste.
Some wealthy men and women, fortu-
nately, have improved their oppor-
tunities in these directions. In every
such instance art has received that posi-
tive and stimulating benefit which art
lovers applaud. a great deal of money
invested in art treasures, is doubly benefi-
cent when the investment represents the
