Harper's Weekly says: To-day there
nre, according to official statistics, some
1000 miles OF artificial waterways in the
United States, and through these aud
the natural inland waterways pass in n
single year 172, 900, 900 tons of freight.
In the older portion Of the country the
canals have ceased to have their relative
Importance, aud some Of them are in a
way to be abandoned. The Erie aul
Champlain canals in our own State,
which q score OF years ago were the sub
iect.matter of the most excited political
struggles, now attract little attention,
and so acute business man as Governor
Flowerihas announced that he is not sure
that they repay the expenditure made
upon them. But in the West tue st.
Marys Falls Canal, the famous 1900"
and the waterways connecting the Great
Lakes In this country and in Canada, are
of the highest importance, and the
scheme for securing not less than twenty
feet of water between Duluth and Buffalo
or New York is one that ia being steadily
pressed by men.who never own that they
are beaten, and seldom have been. That,
with the Nicaragua Canal, would cause
the current OF the worlds commerce to
flow from the heart of the far West to
the remotest shores OF the Orient more
safely and swiftly than the ships Of the
Phonicians reached the'Ultima Thule. u

Impure Water.


The state board of health has just ma de
report on the waters used for drinking pur-
poses, and it will be a surprise to many who
are patronizing the various spring waters
to know that they are not as wholesome as
the river and lake waters W hich supply the
CITY.
The absence OF color in spring water is
frequently taken as an evidence Of its purity,
and its peculiar taste is attributed TO the
same cause, yet these are by no means infaI-
rible signs. Water may be slightly discol-
ored by purely harmless vegetable SUBJ
stances. and absolutely colorless spring
water may be contaminated in an imper-
ceptible manner. The state boards analy-
sis shows the condition OF forty-fye differ
ent waters, and IN only eleven OF these is
It found that there Is not an excess of chic
rine over the normal, condition which
Is fairly good evidence TINT sewage finds
its way to the springs. This Is uue TO the
fact that most of the springs are in the
midst OF lhickly hnbited or cultivated dis
tricts, and hence in selecting 4 water It is
well 70 know thst it comes from sparsely
settled quarter. The analysis further shows
that of the forty.6ve there are but four
which are absolutely free Of bacteria, and OF
these four but two are also free from any eI
cess of chlorine. The presence Of bacteria
however, must not be taken as evidence
against the water, for it may be harmless,
but its absence certainly Is not cause for
regret

ARARE OPPORTUNITY
Good Agricultural Land for $40
to 500 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
Inent. 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, SO, 12O, 16o AND $40 acres.
The terms upon which these lands are offered
are especially attractive They win be sold in
subdivisions, rs above indicated, by the pay
ment OF interest only Tor three years. at which
time the purchaser can begin the payment of
principal by paying the first Of five equal an
nual instailments. Thus no part of the prn-
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 Z per cent. per annum,
making payments extending over q period of
eight years. Intending purchasers are as
sured that this is an opportunity to purchase
land of fair average quality ut $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 ana 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-seel1ers 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 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 6 large
holding for the purpose Of promoting its set
tlement in smaller quantities and its devotion
to diligent husbaudry.
