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, 80, 100, 160 and $50 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 installments, with in
terest at the rate of 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 500 to
300 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 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 q largo
holding for the purpose of promoting its set
tlement in smaller quantities and its devotion
to dilgent husbandry.

Continuing, the rest of the party took
an easy pace, arriving in Folsom at 1890.
After lunch, all points in the vicinity
were taken III, and at 2:45 the start was
made for home.
The tourists strung out along the high
way, and Woods distinguished himself
by riding so fast that the air in the tire OF
his rear wheel could not stand the pres

dent Woods would have undoubtedly
lowered all records.
Wright, who has just returned from
Chicago, was almost a subject for the

trip splendidly, and is as enthusiastic as
ever over these trips through the country.

Iu June last the Thomson Houston

against the Central Electric Railway
Company for S1,l00, claimed by them for
the electrical appliances of four street
cars, which they equipped for the COM
pany on a contract.
An answer has been filed by the de-
PENDANTS, in which they deny that they
are indebted to the plaintiff in any sum
whatever, and aver that by reason of the
payment by the plaintiff of 81, ,1S7 to the
Tripp Manufacturing Company the de-
PENDANTS have been damaged to that ex-
tent, because they had a claim in offset
against the Tripp Manufacturing Com
pany. Before the money was paid, de-
PENDANTS instructed the plaintiff not to
pay it.
a counter claim is made against the
Trip Company for 81. .1S7, for money ex-
pended by the defendants for the repair
and alteration of Tripp trucks within the
last two years, which the Tripp Com
pany promised to pay the defendants on
demand, but has not done so.

COMPANY AS SCORES.
SLIPPERY STREET INCLINEs.
How a Well-Known Citizen Came Near
Being Killed.


Conrad Clinch, the well-known ma
chinist, met with an accident at Seventh
and streets on Saturday evening that
calls attention to serious defect in the
manner in which the cement lnclines at
street crossings are constructed.
These inclines are some of them very
steep, and all are as slippery as glass. In
descending the incline referred to Mr..
Clinch's feet slipped from under him, and
he fell heavily, striking the back of his
head on the stone pavement with such
force as to render him unconscious. 1t is
believed that but for the stiff hat he wore
at the time. his skull would have been
fractured. The report that Mr.. Clinch
fell in a fit was erroneous.
These inclines should in the future be
made with rough surfaces so that there
would be little or no danger ofpersons los
ing their foothold while descending them,
and those already constructed ought to be
improved in that way.

Sheriff O'Neil Found Him in a San

The fellow Wright, who escaped on the
Sd inst. from Constable Bryan on Seventh
street, while being taken to the County
Jail after being convicted Of robbing a
house at Franklin, has been captured in
San Francisco by Sheriff O'Neil and
safely lodged in Jail here.
O'Neil received information which
caused him to believe his man would be
likely to be found in certain tough sa-
loon in that city, SO he took a trip to the
bay. On one of his visits to the place he
found Wright, leaning over a billiard
table, so busily engaged in conversation
that he did no see O'Neil till he felt his
hand on his shoulder. As Wright struck
Constable Bryan over the head with his
handouts, he may find that his imprison-
ment will not be shortened any on that
account.

A Street Experiment.

EDS. RECoRD-UNIoN: 1t seems as
though we must always have dust in the
fall, which turns into mud in the winter.
This is left on all winter and serves to
hold the moisture, which softens the
streets, so as to make them liable to
be dug out in chuck holes. About
spring time the mud is removed, and we
have then a clean street, with the stones
exposed, so as to partake of the nature
of cobbled roadway all summer. There
is a chance now to try new method. A
street-sweeper having arrived in town,
why would it not be we'll to take adj
vantage OF the dust and give a graveled
street one sweeping this fall, thus render
ing the street clean and able to shed
water during the winter, and then allow
the dirt which may accumulate during
The winter TO remain on during the sum-
mer, instead of the reverse, as now.
Graveled roads are good for winter, but a
properly watered dirt road is more de-
sirable for summer pleasure driving.
Continual sweeping would not do on
graveled street, and even once year may
be bad for the street, but is not the ex-
pertinent worth trying? DAILY.

freedom and liberty and equality?" for /
suspected his glass was showing me some
other country
Certainly" said he, don't you COM
prehend that the manner in which the
people govern themselves makes it
necessary for the courts to fence them
selves in with rules which keep the
people out; otherwise they would be
overwhelmed with questions put to them
in unintelligible form"
Would it not be BETTER" 1 asked, ''if
the people had simple code of as few
laws as possible, which every body would
be familiar with, and than,have courts so
constituted that they could entertain
every kind of complaint, whether formal
or informal, and adjudicate each on its
own merits, regardless Of what has been
done III the past, or what may be done in
the future?''
Undoubtedly" answered he. that
would be the commOn-sense way of man
aging affairs. No restriction should be
put on individual action, except to re-
strain from crime. and no coerced service
should be required of any citizen, except
Tor military purposes or to avert danger
from some portion of the community.
Jury service should be voluntary or by
elected and paid officers. But the people
have got into the habit of doing things
the present way, and habits once formed
are hard to break, as doctors say of
chronic diseases. They become constitu-
tional, and besides the people are all
precedent worshipers, and they will go
on in the same old way until govern
ment of the people, by the people, for the
people will become unbearable, and then
the people will make a change God
grant that it may be a peaceable one."
Sorrow took possession Of me and the
old man, with a twinkle in his eyes, said:
please sing me one verse OF the song
you had commenced when l called to
you."
L tried to comply, but the words would
come different, and l sang:
Our country, it is for thee l weep
Land where most virtues seem to sleep.
Where liberty IS but name
And freedom hides her face in shame;
For thee weep; for thee l weep.
The tune was just as doleful as the
words, and the old man gave me pity
ing smile and said: ''Direct the glass
straight toward the hearts of the people"
l did so, and my sorrow passed away,
leaving only quiet sadness, for l saw
strong sympathies which could be quickly
aroused and generous desire to succor the
needy wherever found and the oppressed
in every country-eXcept our own.
saw strong love of Justice, but it was
sleeping, covered with blanket of selfish
ness; but the seltishness was not the
cankerous kind. which has destroyed so
many nations, but the natural kind,
which seeks self-aggrandizement without
desiring the debasement of any; patriot
| ism abounded as tue as any which was
ever sacrificed on the altar OF any country.
saw all of the known virtues in abund-
ance, mixed with some errors and much
prejudice, but with less of bigotry than
the world ever exhibited before. l was
cheered, and l hope our progenitors' old
song will yet be sung. M. a. BURKE.

in high northern ATTITUDES. to note the
great abundance OF insect lie in
Alaska. The writer of this paragraph
was especially interested in noting the
large amount OF Larvae and other low
conditions of animal life which was
carried down from the melting glaciers
into the rivers and streams which
flowed from them. 1t is to this that
we have to attribute the great album

by this abundance. that it seems like

in this expedition, was, with couple
of Indians in a boat, able to drive
salmon into narrow creeks in such
abundance that the boat could be
driven against the fish in their en-
deavurs to escape. They could have
been dragged up in shoals by any
strong and ordinary net. In the

stress was laid on the fact that FIRE.

that not only bees but other insects
