Works now under construction will,
within the next two years, add over o.
100000 acres to the California land re-
claimed by irrigation. Bankers and
capitalists in that state are beginning
to be impressed with this rapid develop
ment of irrigation. In order to have q
basis for the consideration Of irrigation
securities they are engaged in promot-
ing what might be called an irrigation
survey of California. They have EN-
ployed irrigation engineers and irriQa-
ton lawyers to make thorough in
vestigation and report on the physical,
engineering, legal aud business features
of irrigation. These experts are com
missioned to report, cold-bloodedly,
upon what irrigation accomplishes, up
on the possible water supply, upon the
cost Of works, upon the legal status of
water ownership, upon irrigation con-
tracts and rights of way, and upon local
sentiment and its tendencies in the
various districts. The commission is a
broad one. It illustrates the growing
Importance of all irrigation questions
as wen as the growing interest Of capi-
tai in these questions.

Ir has often been noticed at the be-
ginning of January the death is an
nounced of number of prominent men.
The reason is probably found in the
fact, not that great men are more prone
to die in January than at any other
time of the year, but-that the weather
in that month is unsettled, and conse-
quently hard on the constitution alike
of great and humble. Great men are
only human after all, and great man,
physically weakened by hard work or
disease, is just as likely to die from
change of weather as though he were a
day laborer. The mortality tables show
that the month of january and the first
month of exceedingly hot weather in
the summer are more fatal than any
time Of the year, and the great must
take their chances with other people.

ARARE OPPORTUNITY
Good Agricultural Land for $40
to 500 per Acre.

The Pacific Improvement Company has re-
Gently purchased twelve thousand 1cres 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 $40 to $50 per acre, in subdivisions of
40, so, 100, 160 and 800 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 five equal an
nual installments Thus no part Of the prin-
cipal is tC be paid for three years, and then
the purchaser is to have five years in which 70
pay five equal annual iDstallments with in-
terest at the rate OF r 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 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 scre, 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 c large
holding for the purpose of promoting its set
tlement in smaller quantities and its devotion
to diligent husbsndry.
