OPPORTUNITY
Good Agricultural Land for $40
to $40 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 80 to $40 per acre, in subdivisions OF
40, 80. 100, 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 pay
ment of interest only for three years, at which
tins 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 to be paid for 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 z per cent per annum,
making payments extending over 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 $40 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 al 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 tn Sc lands to actual settlers result easy of
accomplishment.
The primary object of the purchase of this
body of land was the breaking up of a lars9
holding for the purpose of promoting its set
tlement in smaller quantities and its devotion
to diligent husbandry.

then have home market for that much
of fruit and other farm products, without
caring what transportation rates were for
the long haul East. And there is where
the farmer is ''protected'' ny the protec-
tion of manufactures. They are mutually
dependent on a protective tariff, and
hope he will not forget it. And don't let
him think he can accomplish his object
by starting a new party. If a Democrat,
his party needs shaking up; if Republi-
can, he is already in touch with the most
likely men to adopt schemes shown to be
improvements.

Secretary Charles Foster was present AMI

by members of the committee. that the
abolition of the agencies was entirely prac.

or Inconvenience.
The abolition of the agencies would save

THE SAN mArfo HORSES.
The Nest Valuable Consignment, Of Trotters
Ever Sent to New York.


NEW YORK, Jan. l3.--There arrived a,
the American Institute building, Friday
the hrst section OF one OF the most valuable
conslgnments OF trotters ever shipped Ia
this city, and that means u great deal, as
some OF the most famous light harness
horses IN the world have been sent to the
/ metropolis and sold by auction during the
| past 10 years.
! The animals referred to are II head from
the San Mateo Farm of Mr.. William Cor
/ bltt, San Mateo, Cal, mainly the get of the
great sire Guy Wilkes, 2.f5 IA, and his
| great son, Sable Wilkes, 2.lS, and are to
be sold by z. c. Kellogg & Co. on Tuesday
and Wednesday of next week.
The first section of the Corbitt horses are
! in charge of John A. Goldsmith of WASH
ingtonville, this state, one of the best reins-
men in the country, who gave most of the
horses to be sold their records. The see
ton which is due today some time is in
! charge of Millard Sanders, best known
| through his connection with the Cleveland
trotters Guy and CliDgstone, and who has
been on the Pacific coast for the past two
years.
In former years the Corbitt horses have
brought higli-water prices in the local mar
ket, and as there is more speed then ever
represented in this years offerings it is only
reasonable to expect that this will be the
banner sale of the year. The showing
made by the San Mateo trotters during 1892
has attracted the attention of breeders in
all parts of the country, and weil-known

IT WORRIES The SOFT coal MEN.
The Readings Nova Sco.ian Scheme May Ruin
Their New England Trade.

New YoRk, Jan. l5.-The soft coal mer
are much concerned over the programme
which the ambitious Reading pre- sident and
the operators who are backing him have
laid ont for soft coal dealings. Despite no
end of vigorous denials, il is generally ac.
knowleaged that the Reading people, with
help from Prince, Whitney and others of
the Boston financial circle, have been max
ing heavy purchases in Novia Scotia coal
properties. They have figured the cos. of
haulage from those mines and see proba-
Bile market in New England, over the terri
tory covered by the Boston 4 Maine and
New York and New England roads.
The Canadian Pacific is to do the feeding
of the product of these companies from the
mines to the border, and it is claimed that
even with the soft coal duty at 80 cents per
ton there still would be profit against the
Western Pennsylvania and Virginia soft
coal brought 10 Hampton Roads and other
shipping seaboard points, sent by water to
New England ports and there reshipped by
rail to the consumers.
A big effort will be made to have the duty
thrown off soft coal. The offers of cheap
coal to New England factories will be relied
upon to bring strong pressure from that
section on the new Congress. There is now
a large and established trade up the coast
One objection to the plan is that much OF
the Nova Scotia coal is of inferior quality
as compared with the rocalontas and other
Goals from the Virginia section. Still, there
are very good coal outputs from Cape .Bre-
ton and other provincial fields, and if the
syndicate has secured these the plan may
work. The opposition will come from the
water carriers both Canadian and American,
while the Norfolk and Western, Baltimore
and Ohio and the Pennsylvania Railroad
will suffer largely. 1t will he particularly
sharp blow by the Reading at its old foe,
the Pennsylvania road. and the Reading
shoutcrs are making much ado over the
outlook.

The wind was keen and cold and as re-

fewer than usual.

Miss Hattie, went for brief walk in the
course OF the afternoon. AT O'Clock in-
quiry at the door elected the response that
Mr.. Blaine had rested comfortably during
the day, a statement which the absence of
the doctors confirmed.
At $50 DIR. johnson drove up and re-

stated that his patient had passed quiet,
restful and uneventful day. There had
been no appreciable change in his condition

the attack last Thursday and on the whole
he regarded his condition tonight as well rs

THE IDAHO GEM FIELDS.
Alleged Valuable Discoveries Being Con-

BOISE CITY. Idaho, Jan. 15.-G. J..
Wheeler and J. c. Calhoun have returned
from a three-weeks' prospecting trip in the
owyhee diamond and opal fields. They
prospected from the diamond basin to Opa-
line distance of 40 miles, and exhibit a
large number of fine specimens of opals,
sapDliires and topaz, besides several other
stones, that experts pronounce diamonds.
1t is reported that 1000 claims have been
taken in that section, and a big rush is ex-
pected. A company has been organized at
Helena with a capital of ISL 900 900 to de-
velop the diamond basin, and work will be-

tainable. John c. Sterns, John W. Gil
more and Frank Givins sold 60 acres for

at Opaline and all claims are developing
finely.
Sapphires are found in gravel beds in the
small volcano belt above Walters ferry.
which are pronounced first class gems.
They vary in color from dark green TO a
pale straw, and are exceedingly brilliant.
Gold quartz lodges, tin and mica have also
been discovered.
