less expenditure, by more promptly

the value to health of the pure liquid

1t has given satisfaction to millions and

He referred to General Gutter IN glow

his enthusiasm. He characterized hiIn
as one of the granuesi figures in the his
tory Of the Pacific Coast, and rehearset
how he came 10 this spot, on the bank OF
the American River, on July y, 1889. On
the 10Th of the following August he COM
menced the work of constructing the fort.
Here all who came after stopped TO rest
and always received sincere and warm
welcome. Many arrived nearly ex-
hausted, sore-footed and ragged-they
were all welcomed alike. Sutter fed them
and clothed them, if needy, and in every
manner proved himself one of the noblest
men ever on the face of the globe.
On the 2Sd of January, 1873. Marshall
came to this old fort, and, taking Cen
eral Sutter aside, showed him what proved
to be pure gold-the first ever found IN
California. The news of the wonderful
discovery went abroad from this old fort.
and soon every nation OF the world was
sending adventurous spirits here.
General Sutter died a comparatively
poor man, having given to the State and
10 others generously, and lost much that
was taken from him unjustly. His body
lies buried in the Eastern States, and the
speaker wished that it was buried at the
old fort here, that his grave might be

r. NJ. Fitzgerald, Past Grand President
of the Native Sons, was next introduced
and made a brief address, which was
very happily worded and delivered.
He outlined the work undertaken by

keep green the memory of the pioneers

them to freely inspect the building and

1t had been the intention to have the
Mexican War Veterans, to whose valor
the Union is largely indebted for Caliior

the vehicles sent to Pioneer Hall could
not accommodate all, and it was then too
late TO engage others. The result was

Jud. C. Brusie, who is now in New

upon Senator Leland Stanford and had
an interesting interview with him. He
asked the Senator if he had heard of the
agitation concerning the removal of the
Capital, and ne replied:
"I es, and not without some feeling of
regret. Not that L think the people will
ever commit so serious mistake as 10

for the payment Of millions which such
an edict would necessitate, but | regret
that so much energy should be wasted by
our people thus. when if applied in like
proportion to legitimate necessities would
benefit The State in its entirety. Should
two soldiers get to quarreling, and were
permitted to do so, while in the line of
march, it would not be long before they
found themselves left in the rear so it is
in the great march of progress now ex-
tending over this country. California can
not afford to waste her energies in local

ARARE OPPORTUNITY
Good Agricultural Land for $40
to $50 per Acre.

The Pacific Improvement Company has re-
Gently purchased twelve thousand acres Of
land in the heart of Tehasna 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 $50 per acre, in subdivisions Of
40, so, 120, 100 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
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 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 $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
s10o 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 $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.
