ARARE OPPORTUNITY
Good Agricultural Land for $40
to 500 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 $50 per acre, in subdivisions OF
40, so, 100, 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 ar
nual installments. Thus no part Of the prn.
clpal 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 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

subject Of this advertisement will prove to
home-seekers that this is an opportunity for
the purchase of good agricultural land mt $40
an acre, and for qualities grading down TO fair
agricultural land at SO an acre, on terms Of
payment which should make the disposition
of these lands to actual settlers result easy of
accomplishment.

holding for the purpose Of promoting its set
Element in smaller quantities and its devotion
to dnigent husbandry.

CORRESPONDENCE.
LETTER FROM MR.. p. q.
JONES.
de Takes Occasion to Correct
Certain Statements Made
in the Star,

MIR. EDITOR: In the Star of this
evening appears an article in which
my name is used, but for which l
am In no way responsible. The
statements made in this article are
unkind and untrue, and 1 feel COM
PEELED to make a reply, not for my
own sake, but for the sake of
Messrs. w. G. Irwin & Co. The
stockholders of the Reciprocity
Sugar Co. have employed me to
arrange its affairs, and have had
several interviews with Mr.. Irwin,
all of which have been of a very
pleasant nature, and he has made
some exceedingly liberal offers in
order to arrange a settlement of
this account-one of which was to
wipe out $4,000 of the amount due
his firm, rather than resort to a
foreclosure of the account.
If reporters would submit their
writings to parties interested before
publishing them, a great deal that
is now written would be left un-
published and much trouble would
be avoided thereby.

pea Resident of
1-2yen relessSsr>gauai Replies to
II f. Complaints Made.
Mr.. EDITOR: Permit me to reply
on behalf of the Hanalei road
board to complaints made recently
in the papers, by stranger evil
IDENTIFY.
The first complaint was concern
ing the little amount of actual
work on the roads done by the
road board. AS a resident Of this
district, / have not seen the roads
in better condition for the past if
teen years. The amounts expende d
on the roads are nothing in COM
parison with the actual work done,
as witness the roads today.
The road board exists as an in
dependent board for the benefit of
the government and the taxpayers.
The roads are being kept in good
condition for % per cent. of what
it formerly cost the government on
such works, and with better re-
suits. The road board goes
out and personally examines
the kind of work being done
on the roads by the men, and if not
satisfied, point out the places care
lessly done by them. The evils Of
former road board now remain as
a standing monument to travellers.
The present board is composed Of
better men.
The second complaint was con-
corning the scows used in convey
ing passengers to and fro on
Kalihiwai, Hanalei and Lumahai
streams. These scows have been
leased to the highest bidders at
public auction. The road board
have only re-adopted the usage of
former years. 1t is true that the
former road board made the scows
free to travellers who used them in
the daytime, but the present board
have found that unavoidable, as the
appropriation for that work is
nearly exhausted. After several
months trial of the free use of the
scows, the present road board
decided to lease them to the high
est bidder as the only means of
getting out of a pending trouble, as
they were short of funds and the
money was needed in road repair
ing. The rates of fare for the use
of the scow for each individual
each way is 24c, horses sc, brake
15c, wagon 25c, and bullock cart
SOC. The fares are doubled at
night. Clergymen, judges and
policemen are exempt from paying
fares by order of road board. The
rates of fare at the Wailua stream
are double the rates of scows at
Kalihiwai, Hanalei, and Lumahai
streams. The complainant says
that the daily earnings of these
scows are in the neighborhood of
SIS. If he pays me $15 week L
shall let him have the lease of the
scows until the present lease ex-
pires. LUMAHAI.
