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

Inc 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 iand embraces lands from first
class Sacramento Valley agricultural land. to
land OF fair average quality, and is offered at
from SIC to $40 per acre, in subdivisions OF
40, SO, 100, leo 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 paw
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 installmepts Thus no part of the prin-
c1pal is 10 be paid tor three years, and then
the purchaser is to have five years in which to
pay five equal annual instalments. with in
terest at the rate of 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 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 SEQ to
500 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 brdhking up of a large
holding for the purpose of promoting its set
tlement in smaller quantities and its devotion
to diligent husbandry.

'scopy" he had brought with him.
When the address was concluded, the
REGISTER representative was offered
the use of the Elkins manuscript. But
preferring to send q condensation Of
what he did say, rather than a full re-
port of what be didn't say, the REGIS
TER reporter declined the manuscript
with thanks.
Under the conditions that prevailed
at Huntington it was impossible for any
newspaper to publish all or even half OF
Mr.. ELKINs' speech, but the REGISTER
quoted Mr.. ELKINs as saying what no
truthful man in Mr.. ELKINs' audience
at Huntington will deny that he said.
That he delivered himself of the senti-
ments referred to there can be no doubt
for plenty Of people stock down" his
words.
The Inteuigencer itself practically
acknowledges that the REGISTER quoted
Mr.. ELKINs correctly by backing up his
TRADE against the appointment Of mine
inspectors. For instance, it says:
If the miners OF the upper district had
been asked 10 name man to inspect the
mines in which they risk their lives, do
you suppose they would ever have thought
Of Harrl Not in thousand years, ana
you know it.-Intenigencer.
"And you know it," neighbor, that
you don't know anything about it. Mr..
HARR's report speaks for itself, and
that he has made a conscientious and
efficient official not one of the honest
and intelligent miners In his district
will deny. The IrtelIigeIlcer knows
nothing about Mr.. HARR's duties, and
in no way qualified to judge Of his fit
ness.
The leading point in this discussion,
however, is that the Republican State
platform virtually announces that the
offices Of Mine Inspector should be
abolished. These are among the new
Offices created under Democratic rule
in West Virginia. They were created
to protect the miners OF the State as
far as possible from the dangers that
constantly threaten them, and are the
outcome of sad experience in mine dis
asters.
These are plain facts which the Intel
Ltgeneer cannot truthfully deny.

This is a fat-footed untrUth and you

The IateIiige,cer is so violently posi-
tive that it not only oversteps the
bounds Of courtesy but lays itself open
to the charge OF il-breeding.
The speech Mr.. ELKIys had prepared
was not the speech delivered by him.
His remarks were so different that a
stenographer had TO be hunted up on
the spur Of the moment to take down
his utteranees. When Mr.. ELKINs ap-
oeared upon the platform of the con-
veDtion hall he had several sheets Of
tvpe-written copy in his hand. He read
perhaps two pages Of his previously
prepared remarks, aud then began to

THE REGISTER has been putup to call
the Republicans OF West Virginia Radl-
Gals The intent OF this is to help on the
force bill" campaign, which is to obscure
all other issues. Voters are TO be remind
ed Of q time when some West Virginians
were not allowed 10 vote. The REG
rsTER and the whole Democratic party may
use the CRY of Radical for all IL may be
worth, which isn't much. New questions

Yes, new questions confront this new

FOR years has had hoisted the old bloody
shirt as g sail to carry the Republican
rotten hulk into power aud place. And
in this campaign It is still floating in
the shape Of the infamous Force bill.
This campaign presents new questions

close Of the war, but the old Republican

right to vote, are very much alive and
one of them is one Of the heads of the

make its publication or discussion a case Of
contempt and punish as such any violation.

held In the Town Hall. Rufus Choate,
the great orator and jurist, was booked
for an address. The hall was filled, pack
ed, in fact, with many thousand people.
Mr.. Choate was about to begin his ad-
dress, when q man crawled up to But
Ter and whispered to him that the joists
in the floor and the supporting beams
were giving away, because OF the heavy
pressure on the floor, and they were
likely to collapse any moment and loss
Of life ensue. Butler turned to the
man and whispered to him, keep
quiet" Then, turning to the audience,
said:
Ladies' and Gentlemen-We are as
sembled here to hear the matchless ora
tory OF the great Rufus Choate. A man
has brought me information that out
side Of this hail there are not less than
90, 900 people who are clamoring for I'D
mission, Now, don't think 1t will be
fair for US to monopolize the uttersnces
of Mr.. Choate, and therefore l propose
10 duJOuTH buis Moctluk w OhO SOuiuiOh,
where all can hear him. Now follow
my advice, and we can get out quickly
and easily without any difficulty. You
men down in the back rows next the
doors arise, leave your seats and leave
the hall. As soon as you have gone, the
next row to you rise and Go the same,
and so on until we leave the hall. Now
start along there and just see how
quickly we can empty this hall"
Meanwhile Choate was Juggling at
Buffers coat-tails and saying: ben,
don'tl Stop, Ben! Why, bless me,
man, l can't speak without my manu-
script: can't see to read on the Com
mon; my voice won't carry in the open
air; l can't make them hear" and so
on. After so much OF the audience had
left that Butler was satisfied that the
strain on the timbers supporting the
floor had been relieved, he turned
around to Choate and said:
"Say, Choate, would you rather de
liver this speech here in this hall or In
hell?"-AIbany Times Union.
