expressly for our subscribers. Somany haTs
called for them that we have at last decided
to sell these elegant Watches at 30 low

session of handsome, durable, and accurata
Waltham and Elgin Watches. The GAR
Watch is either Waltham or an Elgin, a

husband that excludes every particle Of
dust, quick train, ieweled balance, selected
porcelain dial, and all the latest and greatest
improvements. The case is made Of nickel
silver, composition just as handsome and
durable as coin silver. The case is dust
proof, and need never be opened, because
the Watch winds by turning the crown
Tor stem, and sets by pulling it out till IL
clicks, then pressing it back into place after
setting, wonderful feature that makes this
Watch unique. On the back of this cass
the GAR" badge, the emblem of glorious
service, patient suffering and triumphant
victory, is engraved by hand. As the for

of patriotism a thought will come to his
mind of the boys in blue who never ssw =
GAR" badge, but who gave up their lives
in battle. This watch is well worth double
what we ask for it, but we have placed the
price SO low that all may get it. We viii
send it for club of 10 subscribers and IS
added money.

antine maintained by son-in-law Jenkin
at New York was efficient. On the con
trary, the New York Board of Health pro-
nounces in favor Of national quarantine,
and it is certainly better advised as to the
effectiveness of the local quarantine than
is the Herald.
But let it be admitted for the moment
that all the Herald claims is correct; that
DR.. Jenkin was even more severe in en-
forcing the regulations than was neces-
sary. still the question is not disposed of.
New York is but one Of sixty or seventy
ports at which the cholera may enter
through neglect, stupidity, ignorance or
perversity of local officials. Now the
people of the States not on the seaboard
have no voice in the choosing of local
quarantine officials, yet the public of the
interior is as deeply interested in the ex-
clusion of the cholera as are Atlantic
port residents. They have the right, in
short, to be protected against the incom-
potency or mistakes of officials of the
coast, very many of whom are chosen as
the political machine dictates, and quite
irrespective Of their knowledge of quar-
antine scienee-since the management of
quarantine sanitary matters has hecome
a science.
Only by making quarantine regulation
and management matters of national con
Germ can the people as a whole be assured
reasonably of that being done, and uni
formly, which they are entitled to have
done. Local quarantine regulations of as
many kinds as there are ports cannot, in
the very nature of things, give US results
that may be attained under a uniform
system controlled and directed by one
authority.

promoted.

THERE is one significant fact which the
anti-railroad agitators persistently
ignore, yet which is so important fact
that no man with a grain of financial
wisdom would fail to consider before
investing a dime in the business Of trans
portation. That is, that in California
territory traversed by railroads only 80
per cent of it is capable of being made
productive and yield traffic OF any appre-
ciable amount. Yet it is proposed to put
into the organic law a system Of distance
calculations upon which to base trans
portation rates, that takes no account
whatever of the important conditions re-
ferred to. The milage must be traversed
that is inevitable is made by
California railways, yet half of it, 50 per
cent, is through territory that does not
yield profit Of itself.
The record-union., 1893-01-18

The rabid anti-railroad sentiment
that has cropped out among ambitious
Legislators has no foundation deeper than
demagogy. Whoever considers the rail-
road rate question with anything like the
judicial calmness that ought to charac-
terize all legislation. cannot ignore the
conditions that determine rates. Yet the
agitators of to-day put aside conditions
utterly. They demand freight tariffs to
be arbitrarily adopted wholly irrespec-
tive of the commercial laws that must
prevail if commercial prosperity is to be
conserved. The whole scheme is one
born Of the unreasonlng greed Of metro
politan influences, that do not care a
snap Of the finger for the State and the
interior. No matter at whose expense, the
special and grasping interests OF San
francisco sellers of goods are to be
promoted.

ARARE 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 $40 TO $40 per acre, in subdivisions of
40, 50, 120, 16O and 32O 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 Tor 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 to be paid for three years. and then
The purchaser is to have five years in which to
pay i've 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 $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 500 to
800 an acre. An examination Of the land
subject of this advertisement viii 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 al $40 an acre, on terms Of
payment which should make the disposition
Of these lands TO actual settlers a result easy of
accomplishment
The primary object of the purchase of this
body of land was the breaking up of a large
holding for the purpose Of promoting its set
tlement in smaller quantities and its devotion
to diligent husbandry.
