ARARE OPPORTUNITY
Good Agricultural 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 $50 per acre, in subdivisions of
40, so, l20, 160 and 800 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 We equal an
nual installments. Thus no part of the prin-
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 per cent. per aunurn
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 fruit growing, cannot be
had in California for less than from $50 to
800 an acre. an examination of the land

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 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

ENTITLED TO COMPENSATION.
A Technically Aimed at the Sheriff's
Perquisites Fails.
Judge Cat1in Decides an Interesting
Legal Point-The Sheriff is Re-
ceiver in Insolvency Cases.

Superior Judge Catlin ruled yesterday
that the Sheriff, when called upon to act
as receiver in insolvency cases, is ell
titled to extra compensation.
The point came up for decision in con-
nection with the insolvency case of the
Columbus Brewing Company, in which
Sheriff Stanley was appointed receiver.
Last week the Sheriff appeared before
Judge Catlin and, presenting his
final report, asked for his discharge and
an order for his attorneys fees and COM
pensation for himself. \ motion Of this
character was quite ordinary, beng
deemed simply matter of form, and
when the attorneys for the insolvents,
A. c. Hinkson and a. J. Bruner, OBJ
jected to the Sheriff's motion, quite
naturally there was considerable surprise
among the attorneys present in court.
Counsel for the insolvents claimed that
under the law Mr. Stanley was entitled to
no compensation at all for his services as
receiver. They argued that, under the
recently amended County Government
Act, the Sheriff is allowed certain
salary, which must suffice for ali the
duties incumbent upon him by law, and
it specially provides that in no way must
his salary be increased.
BY allowing the Sheriff compensation
for acting as receiver in insolvency cases
since this duty is now made incumbent
upon him by law-would be virtually in
creasing his salary to the extent that the
commissions amounted to, claimed the
attorneys. They asserted that under the
law it was compulsory that the Sheriff
should act as receiver in all cases of in
solvency; that it was a part of the func-
tious OF his office. Just as much as was the
holding OF prisoners, serving summonses,
ETC.. and that therefore his compensation
is already provided for in the fixing Of
his salary.
Clinton L. White, who represents the
Sheriff in this case, took issue with the
attorneys for the inSOlvents. He claimed
that the acceptance of a receivership was
not compulsory upon the Sheriff and
neither was the court compelled to ap-
point that official The law, he said.
simply gave to the Sheriff the preference
in such cases. 1t was duty not required
by law, and therefore the Sheriff was en-
titled to compensation the same as any
other person, if appointed a receiver, was
entitled to.
Judge Catlin, in his decision, declares
that the duties of a receiver are not to be
included among the regular functions Of
the Sheritf'S office, and when that official
acts in the capacity of receiver he should
be paid for it, just as any outsider would
be. He therefore made an order that the
Sheriff, in the particular case on hearing
be allowed S4l so for his expenses, Sl5O
compensation and $3.50 for his attorneys
fees
