ARARE OPPORTUNITY
Good Agricultural A Land for $40
to $50 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 fair average quality, and is offered at
from SO to $40 per acre, in subdivisions of
40, so, 120, 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 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 10 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 period of
eight years. Intending purchasers are as
sureo 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 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 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
pody or land was the breaking up OF large
holding for the purpose of promoting its set
tlement in smaller quantities and its devotion
to diligent husbandry.

CHINESE METHODS.
How a Celestial Duck-Raiser Re-
pIenished His Stock.
s'For Ways That are Dark" ETC., All
Jim Is Peculiar-He Is Con-
victed Though.

All Jim is an enterprising heathen who
keeps a duck ranch, about mile out of
town.
Jim was doing quite thriving busi-
ness. So thriving, in fact, that he could
not raise ducks fast enough to supply the
demand for them. But he hit upon a
plan by which he could keep up his
own profitable business-but it was to be
at the expense of his neighbor. Charles
Sloppy, who is also in the duck -cultiva-
ton business. OF quiet night Jim
would sally forth, armed with a couple of
capacious gunny sacks, and help himself
to Sloppy's choicest waddlers.
The plan worked admirably until
Sloppy, noticing the shrinkage of his
duckery, resolved to solve the mystery.
He and his two sons took a night about,
and on last Monday night, shortly past
the midnight hour, one of the young
men saw All Jim go through one of his
usual performances.
The young man waited until the
Chinaman had filled one sack and then
made rush for him.
But Jim proved that he was nimble of
foot as well as of finger, and he gaIloped
away gaZelle-like into the night. Young
Sloppy had gun and took shot at the
fleeing celestial, but the bullet flew wide
of its mark.
Next day the Sloppy family visited All
Jim's establishment and recognized
thirty-two of their most arstr0cratic
breeds among Jim's mongrel strains.
Then they had him arrested for petty lar
ceny.
The trial came off before Justice of the
Peace Henry yesterday, and after the
Sloppys had told their tale of woe Major
Anderson, attorney for the willy All jim,
moved Tor dismissal, on the ground that
Jim had been arrested for stealing the
ducks found on his place, instead ofthose
he had when surprised in his prowlings.
Under the law person cannot be con-
vlcted OF theft because he happens to
possess stolen property.
But the prosecution convinced the court
that Jim was being prosecuted for steal
ing ducks last Monday night, and not for
the thirty-two found in his possession.
Jim took the stand and swore that all
of the ducks were his own, but the story
was too thin, and the court found him
guilty. He will be sentenced on May 9TH.
The Sloppys will have to sue to get
back the thirty-two ducks, which jim
still has,

STREET IMPROVEMENT.
Q-Street Owners Want to Know the
Reason.

Reason
There is considerable anxiety among
Q-street property-owners in regard to
the improvement OF that street. 1t seems
that after inviting bids and arranging
with contractors the matter had come to
a stop for some reason.
Mayor Comstock is quoted as saying
that the city now owes $4,000 on street
work done last year, and he thinks the
amount should be paid before assuming
further obligations.
II the work is paid for in bonds in
whole or part it will tend to prevent
most contractors from bidding, and it
seems to be the policy of the Trustees to
wait awhile rather than to allow the bids
for street work to be controlled by few
contractors who may be thus in position
to dictate prices.
Of the 100000 bonds for street improve
ment it is said about $40, 600 has already
been expended, and the Trustees are fig
uring to make the remaining $50, ,0GO go as
far as possible.
1t is believed the amount overd due.
$4,000, will be paid soon and work re-
Sumed

The Labor Problem in a Nutshell.

Who brought the 71,O42 Hungarians,

slams and Poles to this country last year?
Why, the highly protected manufacturers
who are so desperately afraid of the pau
per labor of Europe.-CincinnaH En-
Quirer.
No, sir. The manufacturers did not
do it. You know they did not. They
could not if they would. The contract
labor law prevented and does prevent
them from importing such laboIers if
they would. The men came themselves,
and if they secured foothold in Ameri-
can manufactures it was because the ma
tive workingmen had quit the positions
in order to argue labor questions with
their employers. The only way to keep
out foreign workingmen is for Americans
to hang ON to their jobs and not throw
them up on every frivolous pretense.-

Mr.. Plumley made strong point at
the opening of his address at the rally at
Manchester Monday evening. The
Chicago convention, through its plat
form committee reported plank which
favored tariff high enough to cover the
difference between the wages of working
men here and in other countries, or a
protective tariff. This plank was sup
ported solidly by the delegates from
Vermont, representing their constituents
in the matter. the plank was rejected
by the convention and substitute, de-
claring that tariff other than for pur-
poses of revenue only unconstitutional,
was adopted by large majority. Mr..
Plumley argued with much force that a
Democrat who believes in Protection,
which is the great issue between the
parties, cannot consistently vote for can
didates standing on the platform as
adopted.
