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

The Pacific Improvement COMPANY has ra
Gently purchased twelve thousand ceres OF
land in 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. 10
land OF fair average quality, and is offered at
from SO to $40 per acre, in subdivisions of
40, so, 12O, 160 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 ray-
ment of interest only for three years, at which
time the purchaser can begin the payment of
principal by Iaying the first OF five equal an
nual installmeDts. Thus no part of the r,rir
cipal is TO be paid tor three years. and t1er,
the purchaser is to have five years in which TO
pay five equal annual instalIments, with in
terest at the rate OF r per cent per annpr,
making payments extending over a period of
eight years. Intending purchasers are as
sured that tnis is an opportunity to purchase
land of fair average quality at SO per acre.
and good agricultural land at $40 an acre
with other grades Cf land at prices TO CORE
spoEd between these figures.
The assertion is frequently made that rood
lands, suitable for general farming. and es-
pecially adapted for fruit growing cannot be
had in California for less than from $50 TO
S10O an acre. An examination of the land
subject of this advertisement will prove 10
homc-seel-ers 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 81 o an acre, on terms Of
payment which should make the dispositions
ot thsse lands to actual settlers result ca y OF
accomplishment.
The primary object of the purchase Of this
body OF land was the breaking up OF q larro
holding for the purpose of promoting its se,.
tlement in smaller quantities and its devotion
to diligent husbandry.

Deem Diving.

Last Sunday p. M. Farlam, and G. II.
Crosby, Of Chicago; j. G. Flyer, Of Troy,
N. Y, and Z. II. Brault and A. NJ. Cobb,
Of st. Ignace, arrived In this city, being
credited with the intention Of getting the
Pewaubic's cargo. The party had new
diving suit-the invention Of E. II.
Brault. On Monday the tug Frank w.
was chartered, and the party were con-
veyed to the mouth Of the bay where the
new suit was tested. The new invention
consists Of a metal suit that covers the
head, body and a part Of the thighs.
Over that, from the shoulders to the
bottom Of the feet, is put on an ordinary
rubber diving suit. The helmet and up
per part Of the armor is made of Alumni
UNI, and weighs little over 20 pounds;
the breeches part being made of brass.
The suit was put on E. II. Brault and he
descended to depth Of 147 feet and re-
NAMED under water 43 minutes. The
air pump did not work satisfactory. The
diver, on reaching the surface was not
the least exhausted, but was nearly froz-
en-, and said he experienced no trouble
from the water pressure-in fact did not
feel the great pressure, as his armor pre-
vented the water from touching any part
Of his body and head. He declares that
he can descend over 200 feet In water.
The diving suit is to be fitted with tele-
phone and an electric light. 1t seems to
solve the difficulties Of deep water div.

Excelsior Works.

This new addition to the industries
OF Alpena was in full operation last Sat-
urday. The ten machines were at work
making excelsior. The machines are a
sort Of plane which cuts the sticks Of
wood into shavlngs. The shavings can
be made fine or coarse, as required, by
arrangement Of the cutting knives. The
excelsior falls onto q carrier which con-
veys 1t to the packer. The latter is
similar to hay press, and packs the
material into bundles OF about one hun
dred pounds each. The capacity Of the
works is about Ave tons per day.
The excelsior works were erected by
Messrs. F. w. Fletcher, j. G. Walker,
@. A. Shannon and j. A. Corbin, citizens
of Alpena. The single mill at the dam
was arranged for the new works, and wa
ter power runs the machinery.
1t is a valuable addition to the indus
tries OF this city, and opens market for
a largo amount OF timber that previous
ly had no value. We trust the enter
prising owners will make success of
their investment and reap good harvest
Of profits.

Curing the Alcoholic Disease.

We have frequently spoken of the great
good done to many of our citizens by the
Keeley cure OF drunkenness, and Of It's
being the means Of rescuing many per-
sons from the degradation OF drunkard's
life. II Is noble work, and has brought
happiness to thousands Of families.
In this city, citizen, DR.. j. d. Dunlop,
has also done noble work with his cure
OF the terrible disease. Already he has
cured at least one hundred persons OF the
crave for liquor and tobacco. Many Of
the persons treated were confirmed drink
ers, who had descended low In the ranks
OF humanity, and brought sorrow and
suffering to their friends and families.
There Is no doubt now about the ability
Of DR.. Dunlop to cure drunkards of their
thirst for liquor. He has many living
witnesses to prove that his treatment is
a good one, and that a person can be
cured Of the crave for liquor or tobacco.
His business has grown 80 large that he
has been obliged TO enlarge his quarters
and engage assistance, and DR.. Wilkin-
son has been recently associated with
him.
The many persons who have been cur
ed blythe Dunlop treatment, of the thirst
for liquor or crave for tobacco, have
formed society, known as the Happy
Home Club" and at certain periods have
pleasant meetings. The doctor has rooms
In the Echo block, and we trust his busi-
ness Of curing inebriates will continue
until every man in the city, inflicted with
the terrible disease Of drunkenness, is
cured. It Is noble work that the Doctor
has engaged in. 1t raises many men from
the lowest condition that a man can de-
scend to, clothes him In his right mind,
takes away from him the terrible thirst
for liquor, restores him to the rank OF
society, and brings happiness and com.
forts to his family.
The different treatments have restor.
ed about two hundred people from the
control Of the liquor disease, and Of that
number only one, Keeley cure, has
fallen back.

Citizens Meeting.

The indebtness OF the city was amicab-
ly discussed at the Council meeting Mon
day evening, by citizens and the members
Of the Council. When the question had
been well discussed, 1t was evident that
there was no need Of bonding the city to
pay the outstanding city orders. The
facts are that on March list, 1902, the end
OF the Council fiscal year, there we're city
orders outstanding TO the amount OF $37,-
$40, and balance In the hands OF the
City Treasurer Of $6,32O. The indebt-
ness OF the city was therefore $31 800,
for outstanding city orders, at the incom-
ing Of the present Council. During Mon
day evenings meeting IL was clearly dem
onstrated that II the Council and the
Board Of Education acted with reasona-
BILE economy, the orders could be redeem
cd In two years and not make the city and
school tax exceed two per cent. Eighty
thousand dollars were to DO raised by tax,
and the balance needed would be derived
Alpena weekly argus. [volume] (Alpena, Mich.) 1871-1893, 1892-05-25

from liquor tai, primary school money,
delinquent tax paid, licenses, fines, etc.
The valuation OF the city will be about
four million dollars. The Council decld-
ed to raise by tax 100000, which will
make little over two per cent tax. The
meeting was a pleasant one, both the
citizens and the Council being willing to
adopt tho best plan presented for tho
good OF the city. There were no advo-
Gates In favor Of bonding the city, and the
general verdict was In favor of close econ-
omy In the management Of the affairs Of
the city and schools this year, that no ex-
tensive improvements be made, and that
a large part of the orders be redeemed
this year, from funds to be derived from
taxes assessed on city property the pres
emit year.

The annual Jubilee Of the various tents
of the Knights Of the Maccabees OF this
city, was to have been celebrated las,
Wednesday, but owing to the express be.
ing four hours late, the great tent officers
did not arrive, and the Jubilee was post
poned, as regards the exercises at the Op.
era House. Thefact of the express being
late was not known until evening, when a
large number Of the members had gather.
ed at their tents, consequently It was de-
cided to have the street parade, as the
band had been engaged and arrangements
made. About two hundred Of the mem.
bers turned out and paraded along sever
al of the principal streets, after which
there was dance at st. Johns hall.
The great commander telegraphed that
he would be here on Saturday, and 1t was
decided to have the Opera House exercis-
es, which had been postponed. On the
arrival Of the express, the commanders
OF the various tents met Great Command
or Linton and escorted him to the Opera
House. There was also a street parade
Of the various tents, headed by the Sons
OF Veterans drum corps.
The Opera House was filed with peo-
pie, and a large number OF X. o. T. M.
members were seated on the stage. Mayor
Harshaw acted as chairman Of the meet
ing. The program Of the evening COM
prised singing, prayer by Rev. G. e. Lee,
and remarks by Great Commander w. s..
Linton and Colonel Smiley.
The Great Commander delivered an
admirable address, full OF interesting
facts for the X. o. T. NJ, and we'll inter-
spcrsed with humor. He stated that the
order now numbered 90, 900 In Michigan,
and he expected IL would be fifty thou
sand strong by the end Of his term. He
related the history Of the society, Its adj
mirable object, and what II had accom-
plished, and gave several illustrations

The Anniversary Reception.

The ARGUS has a dislike to Tuesday
night happenings that require an extent
ed report, owing to our inability to prop.
erly publish such for want Of time to set
the type the next morning, before our
press hour arrives. Such an event was
the first anniversary reception OF the Y.
NJ. c. A., and this week we desire to say
few words In regard to It, not as mat.
ter OF news, but to help show that such
social gatherings are appreciated, and are
enjoyed by large number Of our people.
1t was very interesting event In the his.
tory of the association. and marked the
passage Of the association by Its first
year mark In good shape, and with bright
hopes Of successful second year ahead.
The guests were cordially received In
the handsome parlor, by the Reception
Committee, after which they assembled to
the gymnasium, where they we're agree.
ably entertained by several members, who
gave an interesting exhibition OF indoors
athletic sports. Then followed the liter.
airy and musical part Of the program.
Prof. Roots orchestra rendered fine So
lection; Miss Marion Gavagan sang in
her usual excellent manner, a vocal solo
that greatly pleased the large audience,
and Mark Bostwick sang solo that was
exceedingly well rendered. A few re.
marks were delivered by II. M. Clark,
the State Secretary Of the Y. NJ. c. A.
Mr.. Mahar was on the program for read
ing, but being suddenly called from town,
was unable to take part, and Miss Della
Kelly consented to fill the vacancy. Her
reading was the best we have heard that
lady give, and compares favorably with
any reading we have heard In the city.
Her acting was such as to lead the lis
tener to think 1t was real exhibition OF
feeling, and not a mere reading, and es-
pecially In the words "Come back and be
forgiven" and 1t was not until after the
lady had finished, that the listener realiz-
cd 1t was only acting and fine artistic
exhibition Of art. Refreshments were
served In the reading room. 1t was one
OF the most enjoyable events Of the sea.

have many anniversaries.

Cold Day Company.

A farce comedy company, bearing the
above title, appeared at the Opera House
last Thursday evening, to one Of the
largest audiences of the season. The OBJ
ject Of the comedy is to amuse, and while
as an artistic production 1t does not rank
very high, the company did what they
advertised to do,-they amused the a u
dience, and the geater part Of those pres
emit appeared as II they really enjoyed the
play and the manner In which the various
actors did their work. There Is no plot
worthy Of mention In the play. 1t con.
slsts mainly Of absurdities and queer po-
sitions, arranged for the sole and only
purpose Of creating laugh. Some Of the
singing was pleasant, and a portion OF
the comedy work was amusing. The
best work was done by F. D. Nelson, p.
ID. Fisher and Essie Barton. The setting
for the steamboat scene was good.
