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

The Pacific improvement Company has re-
Gently purchased twelve thousand &cres 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 $50 per acre, in subdivisions of
40, so, 40, 160 and 320 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 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 fruitgrowing, cannot be
had in California for less than from $50 to
800 an acre. An examination of the land
subject of this advertisement will prove to
home-seekers that this is opportunity for
the purchase of good agricultural land at $40
Rn 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 it's devotion
to diligent husbandry.

dress WM. H. MILLS,

manager of the now well-known and
established "Creamerie." Since its loca-

Mr.. Ernst was for years connected with
