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

The Pacific Improvement Company has re-
Gently purchased twelve thousand Scres 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 $40 per acre, in subdivisions Of
40, so, 12o, 100 and 500 acres.
The terms upon which these lands are offered
are especially attractive. They will be sold III
subdivisions, as above indicated, by the pay
ment of interest only for three years, at which
tins the purchaser can begin the payment OF
principal by paying the first of 1ive equal an
nual installments. Thus no part OF tine 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 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 S20 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-
peciaIly adapted for fruitgrowing, cannot be
had In California for less than from $50 to
500 an acre. An examination of the land
subject of this advertisement win prove to
home-seekers that this is aE 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 wss the breaking up Of large
holding for the purpose of promoting its set
Element in smaller quantities and its devotion
to diligent husbandry.

to turn out badly Fifteen of the most cold

s'The fathers were probably off to the
lodge orclnb or too selfish to want to bother
with them, replied Mrs Bowser.

with the matter It's woman's natural
weakness of character he refers to- He
also shows that her want of sense sac

was some mistake about it. It was only.

As he couldn't tell within six or eight he
gave hera look of mingled pity and disdain
and continued to walk up and down When
he thought her sufficiently crushed, he said:

now, what would your instinct tell you to
do?,'

That's simply inference. You are not

1t may be, and it may not. You do not
