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
parpose 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, 12O, 100 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 for 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 five equal annual instalments, with in
terest at the rate of 7 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 fruit-growing. cannot be
had in California for less than from $50 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 breaking up of large
holding for the purpose of promoting its set
tlement in smaller quantities and its devotion
to diligent husbandry.

dress WM. II. MILLS,

THE CHAIN-GANG.
The Supervisors Demand More Work
From the Prisoners.

The Supervisors Demand More Work
From the Prisoners.
There was some more talk about the
chain-gang by the Supervisors Saturday.
Chairman Morrison said the prisoners
were not doing enough work-they were
not working even eight hours day. He
then moved that hereafter the prisoners
constituting the chain-gang be required
to work from o'clock every morning
until o'clock in the afternoon, with an
hour for dinner. The motion included
that the prisoners should have half
holiday on Saturday, SO that they could
do necessary work around the jail. The
motion was carried.
The board instructed Supervisor Curtis
to see that the sprinklers on the county
roads did their duty or else they would
be discharged and others obtained. Com
plant had been made as to the manner in
which the sprinkling was done, and here
after if it is not done satisfactorily the
board will take summary action.
Chairman Morrison called the attention
of the members of the board to the fact
that decisive action should be taken in
reference to the county's exhibit at the
State Fair.
Supervisor Todd moved that $500 be ap-
propriated for an exhibit at the fair.
After some discussion the motion was
carried.
On the application of Under Sheriff
Rooney credits were allowed to William
DAILY and John Rahl for good behavior
while confined in the County Jail.
The subject of repairing the Nc
Cracken bridge over the Costumes River
near the Slough House was brought up
by Supervisor Todd. The repairing of
the bridge was referred to Supervisor
Jenkins.
Supervisor Todd informed the board
that he had purchased rock for the pris-
oners in the County Jail to exercise on.
but the rock was nearly all broken up
and fresh supply was needed. Mr..
Todd was instructed To procure more
rock.
Chairman Morrison was instructed to
ask the City Trustees to meet with the
Supervisors on the evening OF August
sd to consider the advisability of taking
care of Reclamation District No. 81

SETTLED AT LAST.
There viii be No More Trouble About
Unpaid Theater Licenses.
General Clunie Agrees to Pay Up
Judge CatIin VIII Settle the Wash
Norton Indebtedness.

The squabble over delinquent theater
licenses was amicably settled Saturday,
and General Clunie will pay quite sum
into the county treasury.
Mr.. Clunie and his agents appeared be-
fore the board in the forenoon, and made
another appeal for reduction of the
license demanded of the theaters, but the
Supervisors turned deaf ear to him,
saying that he would have to square him
self with the county before they would
consider the reduction proposition.
Supervisor Todd moved that the petit
ton be denied.
General Clunie made speech, but the
motion prevailed. The General then
sarcastically thanked Chairman Morrison
and the other members of the board for
their efforts to amicably adjust matters,
and further remarked that he would
never forget the cordial reception he had
received at the hands Of the board.
GOT TOGETHER.
Later in the day, however, Clunie had
a consultation with Attorneys Hughes.
Seymour and Hartman, the result OF
which was that all reached an under
standing that puts an end to all the
trouble. Mr.. Clunie was convinced that
he owed the county something over S4O0-
not counting the penalties. Under the
law there was due from him payments
at the rate of S2 for every performance, or
$40 per month, if the performances were
nightly. The whole thing was figured
up on that basis. But an understanding
could not be reached as to the licenses
which became delinquent during the
time Wash Norton leased the Clupie
Opera-house, so this matter will be sub
mitted to Superior Judge Catlin for an
opinion. Mr.. Clunie agreed to pay $40
for costs, and will also pay the attorneys
fees.

Veterinary Inspector McCollum on
Saturday reported to the Supervisors
that, in accordance with instructions
from Chairman Morrison, he had gone
down the Riverside road to investigate
an alleged case of CHAMBERS. When he
arrived there the horse was gone, it hav-

At 4:30 o'clock yesterday morning a fire
broke out in the lower story of house
on Nineteenth street, near the southwest
corner of G, owned by Mrs. L. G. Bush,
and occupied by colored man named
W. McKInny and family. The upper
floor was occupied by the family of II.

capped with their lives.
The house was mere shell, and was
consumed by the time the fire depart
ment arrived. Both families lost their
household effects, valued at $500 in each
case, and neither was insured.
The adjoining house, on the corner, also
owned by Mrs. Bush, was damaged to
the extent of a couple of hundred dol
lars, and that of G. II. Gilman, on the
other side, was considerably scorched.
Mrs. Bush's loss on the burned house
was about 81 200, and it is covered by in

The Leavenworth Times takes Mr..
ingalls, estimate of the qualifications
necessary for the next Republican can
didate for president seriously, and treats
it thus:
In portraying the man for Republican
candidate ia 1896. John j. Ingalls, pictures
just such man rs he thinks Cleveland is.
In doing this, Ingalls, makes this fatal
blunder: The Republicans do not biiudly
follow the dictatiou of leaders, nor do they
change opinions when ordered to right
about face. Many Republicans refused 10
vote for Blaine because of false reported
unimportant trivial scandal, while Cleve-
land secured many thousands of votes by
an open declaration, "tell the truth" when
questioned about the Halpin scandal and
his well known life of debauchery in Buff
falo. The toushs and roughs of Buffalo
got him 5000 more than his party vote,
and Of such Is Democracy.

The fear that one town or locality will
swallow another is a great bumbug. We
are really just beginning to people the
transmissouri states, and there is as
much room for Wichita and all
other good cities and towns as there is
for the larger cities in the same area
further east. There is, and should be,
no antagonisms between points west of
the Missouri river. Indeed, our mutual
interests lie in com bined effort to slay
the octopus of that Shiny excuse for a
navigable river, after which trade GEN.
ters will be determined by natural con-
ditions. There will be number of good
towns in the new settlement. Wichita
will contribute her share toward their
growth, and the EAGLE will try to be
at most OF the weddings,
and barn-raisings. There is
nothing like reciprocal aid in new
country.
