COUNTY ADVERTISING.
The Supervisors Want It Done by
Contract.
Aid for the Reclamation and Drainage
Scheme-Members Wrestling
With Latin Terms.

The Board of Supervisors session yes
terday morning was mostly consumed
in considering the bids for drugs and
medicines for the hospital and dispen-
sary. The list embraces several hun
dred articles.
\ communication from D. Lubin was
received, asking that the $3.50 appropri-
ated by the board for the Drainage and
Reclamation Convention be paid over to
Frank Miller.
Supervisor Curtis said DIR. Dixon had
stated to him that although the conven
ton had asked that 500 each should be
subscribed by the various counties for
expenses, Sacramento County was really
not included, in view of the fact that she
had already contributed this $3.50, and it
was felt that this was sufficient.
An motion of Supervisor Jenkins the
$50 was ordered paid over to Mr.. Miller.
communication from II. q. Whit
man, Justice of the Peace for San Joa-
qnln Township, asking for a set of codes,
was received and ordered placed on file.
Inc Committee on Printing presented
the following resolution:
ReSotced, That the Board of Supervisors
hereby fixes the price at which all county
printing Tor the County of Sacramento shall
De done 1orthe ensuing year at the following
rates, to wit: One dollar per square for the
urst publication; seVenty-five cents Der
square for the second nubIication. fifty
cents per square Tor the third publications
ana twenty-five cents for each subsequent
publication, u square TO consist of 24O ems
nonpareil, solid matter.
Supervisor Miller supported the resolu-
ton, and alluded to the criticism the
board had endured on the subject of
printing.
Supervisor Todd thought it would be
better to advertise for bids on printing.
lie offered an amendment to the effect
that the board advertise for bids.
Supervisor Jenkins agreed with Mr..
Todd and thought that the board should
consult with the papers and let the print
ing to the one that bid the lowest.
After some discussion it was moved by
Supervisor Todd that the resolution be
rejected.
Ex-Supervisor Bates was asked to give
the board the benefit of his experience in
the matter. Mr.. Bates said that when the
question came up before there We're only
TWO papers which were competent to bid,
but now it might be different.
Todd's motion prevailed and the reso-
luton was lost.
Supervisor Todd then moved that the
Printing Committee be authorized to in
vite bids for advertising and set next
Tuesday, at 10 4. NJ, for the board to meet
and receive the proposals. Carried.

Supervisor Jenkins stated that meet
ing had been held by the Supervisors of
several counties and some amendments
to the substitute road law, now before the
Legislature, were formulated.
The board then resumed the considera-
ton of the bids on drugs. The dis
crepancies in the bids and the efforts of
the board to wrestle with the Latin desig-
nations of the drugs created much merri-
ment.
The consideration of these bids occu-
pied the entire afternoon session.

FOR THE FAIR.
Fruits to BE Shown at the Columbian
Exhibition.

EAn1DlClO0.
A circular of information and regula-
tons has been issued by C. NJ. Wells,
Superintendent of the Department of
Horticulture of the Worlds Fair. 1t
sets forth that the purpose of the CLASH
fed horticultural exhibit in the Calilor-
MIA State building is to show the grade
and WIDE range of horticultural prOduc-
tions within the State OF California, conse-
quently varieties, rather than quantities,
are desired.
1t is expected that all exhibits will be
donated or loaned and delivered boxed at
the nearest terminal station, after which
the State Will assume all expenses of
transportation, installation and care.
donations Will be received from indi-
vlduals and firms as well as from coun-
ties. Each county is asked to report each
variety OF each product that it can furnish
without depriving itself of the same va
riety. From these articles will be selected
to make the classification complete. Each
jar or package should be clearly marked
with the name of the grower, the county,
the kind and the correct name of the
variety. Uniformity of packages and
kinds of jars should be regarded. Glass
jars and packages and all non-perishable
materials will remain the property of the
donors at the end of the fair.
a considerable portion of the classified
space will be devoted to the fresh fruit
exhibit. Cold storage will be furnished.
When fruit begins to deteriorate it will be
sold if possible.
classification of packages and par
tial list OF articles has been prepared with
special reference to the State building. 1t
is the wish of the State Commissioners to
aid growers in placing worthy fruit and
other horticultural and agricultural
products on exhibition in the National
building for competition and award.

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 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, 40, 160 and 500 acres.
The terms upon which these lands are offered
are especially attractive. They will be sold in
SUBDIVISIONS, as above indicated, by the raw
ment OF interest only Tor three years, at which
time the purchaser can begin the payment Of
principal by paying the first of We equal an
nual installments. Thus no part Of the prin-
cipal is TO be paid tor three years. and then
the purchaser is to have i've years in which to
pay five equal annual installments with in
terest at the rate of per cent per annuu
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 $40 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-
peciaily adapted for fruit-growing cannot be
had in California for less than from SEQ to
S1oo 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 $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
accom- lishment.
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.

The Sans Souci Serenading Club SER
enaded Senator Goucher at the Capital
Hotel last night. The Senator, who is a
great admirer of boys and of music, well
coined the boys in brief but appropriate
speech, in which he said that music had
the same tendency to raise the minds of
its devotees to higher plans as painting
has to raise the minds of artists. He also
said that while he was sorry to take the
boys away from the ladies he knew that
they would play better after they had
satisfied their appetites. So after render
ing a few more selections, including q
solo entitled Gathering the Shells on the
Seashore," by L. Cotman, they adj
journed to the Restaurant de France,
where sumptuous repast was spread
For awhile nothing was heard but the
clatter of knives and forks. When the
boys had satisfied the inner man Ike
Mooser, the POSTMASTER, arose and pro-
posed The Boys of Sacramento" and
called upon Senator Goucher to respond,
which he did in his most happy vein and
was loudly applauded.

Host" Mooser responded in few
words, saying that the Senator had al
ways had the interests of the California
boys in general, and the Sacramento
boys in particular, at heart, and that he
recalled the time four years ago when
Mr.. Goucher was invited to preside at a
banquet given by the pages of the Senate.
After few more toasts had been pro-
posed and drank, and few more selec-
tons had been rendered, they played
Home, Sweet Home," and dispersed
with many words of commentator for
the entertainment afforded them by their
generous host. There were present as

Makes a Discovery.
Miss Winnie Peterson of Mormon
Island visited the County Clerks office
yesterday morning and asked to see the
book of affidavits for marriage licenses.
After looking short time she found what
she was in search of-an affidavit made by
George L. b. Hicks, upon which he had
procured a license for the marriage of
himself and Winnie Peterson, describing
her as Is years of age and making aifi-
davit that they were both colored.
She was naturally indignant, as she
shows no faint of African blood and de-
clares that she has none. She says she is
but Ito years of age, and has only an ordi-
nary acquaintance with Hicks, who is a
very little lighter than charcoal.
From her remarks, it is not unlikely
that the gay Mr.. Hicks will have the
pleasure of answering to a charge of per-
jury as consequence of his action,
