ARARE OPPORTUNITY
Good Agricultural Land for $40
to $40 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 far average quality, and is offered at
from SO TO $50 per acre, in subdivisions of
40, so, 12o, 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
menf 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 installments. Thus no part of the prin-
clpal IS to be paid tor three years, and then
the purchaser is to have i've 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 $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 a large
holding for the purpose of promoting its set
tlement in smaller quantities and its devotion
to diligent husbandry.

Fresno People Are Tired of Railroads
Built on Paper.
FRESNO County Enterprise. June 25tb

Fresno County Enterprise, June 25th.l
The reported interview with President
Marvel of the Atchison, Topeka and
Santa Fe will effectually squelch any
lingering hope of competition for this
country through means of this line. lie
sings the same song in the same KEY.
Our road does not pay US q dollar on the
California BRANCH that is received with
| howl OF derision from the Southern
Pacific.
AS a matter of fact our people will
never receive relief from the Santa Fe
until the situation is forced by leaving
the latter entirely alone. With a fork
run into the desert station at Mohave it is
OF less than no benefit to us. 1t has no
effect on rates as it uses the Southern Pa
cific road for its business, carries freight
and sells tickets for the same rate While
the Southern Pacific keeps an army OF
men employed in the country, the Atchi-
son, Topeka and Santa Fe has an agent
in certain districts who receives certain
per cent for his work. 1t is easily seen
that the Southern Pacific is worth hun
dreds of dollars to US where the Atchison,
Topeka and Santa Fe is not worth con-
tinental. Serve it out by letting it alone
and 1t will soon be compelled to extend
its road from Mohave or withdraw and
| leave the coast clear to some other road
with more enterprise.

lines were erected and taken down. All
parts OF the army were in constant COM
munication, not only. while In camp, but
while actually moving.
The photographers were frequently called
on to make raids into the enemy's country
to tap the wires and intercept Confederate
messages, and there was never lack of
volunteers Some were captured or killed
on these expeditions and others secured
valuable information about the enemy's
movements. Many time an operator re
manned at an abandoned post to warn the
army of Confederate approaches Many a
time the receiving operator got the mes
Eige "Goodby; the Johnnies are coming,"
anu he knew by the silence which followed
that the sender had probably ripped his
instrument from its fustenin4s and started
on IA race for life and liberty.
General Grant said of the CORPSE The
telegraph service was as necessary to our
success as the railroad liz to commerce.
Nothing could BIO more complete than this
body OF brave and intelligent men. The
moment the troops wcro put in position to
go into camp all the men connected with
this branch Of the service would proceed
to put up their wires No orders ever had
to he given to establish the telegraph"
And yet these operators have never re-
ceived so much AZ Il "thank you" from con-
gress. When during the war they asked
to be organized AS u branch of the military
service the secretary of war deferred action
because If the telegraphers had u military
status they would be- subject to the inter
ference Of superior officers, some of whom
We're meddlesome enough as it was. He
wanted to retain control of the corps at
Washington. When the war closed tho
photographers. instead of receiving an hon
orable discharge which they might hand
down to their posterity as proof of their
patriotic service for their country, were
simply told to quit like So many teamsters
or other hirelings.
Ono of the objects of this society is to
secure from the government n proper recog-
milton of the service of the telegrauhers.
They do not ask for pensions. They merely
want congress to pass an act declaring that
they were part of the army, that they
and their children may share in the glory
of American patriotism. Fr eight years
congress has been appealed to for justice,
and bills have been reported favorably in
six sessions, but none has ever passed.
The president Of the society il William
Il. Plum, now Chicago attorney, and the
secretary is James f. Petit, late manager
for the Postal Telegraph in the same city.

Of some songs you may have heard of.
Perhaps you would like to meet HIM"
Would like TO meet the man who
wrote the music of kathleen Mavour-
peerS" l would have travelled from
New York to Portland just for that and
considered myself we'll paid. "Kath-
leen Mavourneenl" There orc some
songs that will last forever, and here is
one of them The maiden sings it to
her lover, and her granddaughter in
turn sings it to her lover. Its music,
touching and sweet, wskens all truo
love and longing and tender regrets.
When we weak mortals are tempted to
forget the old loves sometimes, and we
hear kathleen Mavourneen" sung. the
soft, thrilling notes watt us back to our
true faith and loyalty and bring us I'D
short
went to call on friend in Portland,
Miss Charlotte Thomas. Miss Thomas
was not at home, but her brother, Mr..
George A. Thomas was, ond he it was
who introduced me to the grand old
song writer, eighty-four years old Aug.
/. He is Professor Frederick Nichols
Crouch, Mus Doc, M. A., T. r. s., and
l don't know what all besides, but to
me it is enough to know he is the author
OF the music of kathleen Mavourneen. :"
The words, by the way, were written by
an English lady, Mrs. Crawford.
Professor Crouch is handsome old
gentleman, with brilliant, beautiful
dark eyes and n long. gray military
mustache. He has exquisitely graceful
and cOurtly manners, rare to see in our
country. But Professor Crouch is an
Englishman, who learned his manners
before our hello" telephone days.
How long ago was thesong written2"
l asked the old master.
Just before her Inajesty's coronation, =
he answered.
Her lnajestys coronation occurred
June IS, 1888. From 1888 to 1892 "Kath-
leen Mavourneen" has been warming
and melting the hearts of all true lovers
and oil well wishers of true lovers, and
when 1892 is ushered in it will still be
fulfilling its sweet mission. But what
will you say when tell you that Pro
fessoS Crouch has never received one
cent of money for the song? Fact.
Thirty-one music publishing houses in
America have made their thousands of
dollars off the sheet music, and never
bad the grace to offer the composer one
dime.
The gifted, gentle old man is now liv-
ing in poverty at $50 Pariiin street, Bal
