Yesterday was the day appointed by
the State Board of Equalization for be-
ginning its work of fixing the assess
ments on the several railroads Of the
State. The Gualala River, California and
Nevada and Paiaro Valley Railroad
Companies had been notified to attend
the meeting, by their representatives.
and make such statements as they wished
10 the board.
No one appeared. however, and letter
was received from the officials of the Pa
Jaro Valley road saying that they had
always received fair treatment from the
board, and felt that they could depend on
a continuance OF it. They therefore
thought it unnecessary to appear.
To-day the North Pacific Coast, Nevada
County Narrow-Gauge, Nevada, Cali
fornla and oregon and Carson and Colo
RADIO roads are notified to appear.
The board Is wrestling with the knottv
question OF the reassessment for past

Inc Investigation as to the Expense
Thereof Postponed.
There was a special session of the
Board of Supervisors yesterday, Chair
man Morrison presiding, and all the
members present. The chief object of
the meeting was to investigate the matter
OF the cost of feeding county prisoners,
Tor which purpose ex-Sheriff Stanley. eX-
Under Sheriff Bugbey and the present
Under Sheriff J. Z. Rooney had been re-
quested to appear and give testimony.
supervisor Todd asked that the matter
be continued until the next session of the
board. He said the witnesses cited to ap-
pear had declined to come unless
regularly subpened, and in addition to
those already named he suggested that
eX-SheriH Hebron be also cited to APP
pear.
1t was SO ordered.
AN ORDER REsCINDED.
Mr.. Plattnauer appeared before the
board and asked permission to withdraw
the petition of Sperry Dye and others Tor
the formation of a new swamp land
district, and that the order Of the board,
made on the 18th, be rescinded, owing to
an informality in the proceedings.
The request was granted and the order
rescinded.
J. c. JONES' MANDAMUs SUIT.
An opinion by r. T. and w. II. Devlin
IN relation to the suit brought by j.
Charles Jones for a writ of mandate TO
compel the board to audit his claims for
salary as special counsel for tie county
was read.
The opinion has already been pub
llshed. 1t takes the ground that a va
cancy exists in the office of District At
tOrney by the alleped failure of r -
Ryan to qualify in the time required by
law, and therefore that his action in APP
pointing MIR. Jones as deputy, or assist
ant, was illegal and void.
supervisor Todd-Mr. Chairman, |
move that the communication be re-
celved, placed on file, and taken under
advisement.
Chairman Morrison-And referred to
| the District Attorney?
Todd-NO, sir; vox populi. yox Del. I
make this remark with all due respect
to the District Attorney.
WAS THERE QUORUM?
A communication was read from the
Trustees of MokeIumne School District
announcing the result of the election held
III that district on the 10Th inst. to raise a
special tax of $500, at which election the
proposition was carried by a vote of 5
to 0.
1t took about ten pages of legal cap
paper TO contain the atlidaVits of the
trustees, and supervisor TODD suggested
that the Trustees be commended for per-
forming such arduous labors without
having asked the assistance Of extra
deputies or clerks.
The remainder of the day was spent in
an effort to unravel the mysteries of the
numerous bids for stationery and sup
plies for county offices.

ARARE OPPORTUNITY
Good Agricultural Land for $40
to $50 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 SO to $40 per acre, in subdivisions Of
40, so, 40, 16O and 800 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 i've 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 e.
pecially adapted for fruit-growing, cannot be
had in California for less than from $50 TO
800 an acre. An examination Of the land
subject of this advertisement win prove to
hone-seekers that this is an opportunity for
the purchase of good agricultural land ut $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 a result easy OF
accomplishment.
The primary object of the purchase OF this
body OF land WIS the breaking up Of a large
holding for the purpose of promoting its set
tlement in smaller quantities and its devotion
to dillgent husbandry.

Inventor Davy and Love.

Sir Humphry Davy, the inventor Of
the Davy lamp, found love something
of delusion, if not snare. Writing
TO his mother, he said, esI am the hap
piest of men in the hope of a union with
a woman equally distinguished for vir-
tues, talents and accomplishments .
And in a letter to his brother he express
es his rapture thus: ''Mrs. Apprece has
consented to marry me, and when the
event takes place shall not envy kings,
princes or potentates.''
The widow must have been a person
possessed of great powers of fascination,
for Sir Henry Holland makes mention
of her as a lady who made such a sensa-
ton in Edinburgh society that even d
cegius professor did not think it beneath
mis- scholarship to go down on his knees
N the street to fasten her shoe. The
sequel need not be 'dwelt upon further
than to add that tho marriage turned
out to be altogether mistake.-Cas

The tardy justice done to women in
the passing OF the women's properly act
in England and America was the direct
outgrowth of the wages system. The
fact that woman had no right in her
earnings, Inherited property. or even in
her personal belongings. until recent
years, took away all stimulus to active
money making effort. Driven to il by
the failure of husband or father to pro-
vide for her wants, she could not hold
any possession from the grasp of the
selfish, cruel, tyrannical or degraded
male relative who possessed legal power
over her. The change in these .serflike
conditions has all occurred within the
past fifty years, and it is marvellous

the famous expedition of Lewis and

mouth of the River Columbia John
Golfer was ii hunter in this expedition,
and by some chance he went across the
mountains on the old trail of the Nez
Perces Indians which leads across the
divide from the Missouri waters to those
of the Columbia.
When he came back from the Nez
Perces trail he told most wonderful tales
of what he had seen at the head of the
Missouri There were cataracts of scald-
ing water which shot straight up into
the air; there were blue ponds hot enough
to boil fish; there were springs that came
up snorting and steaming, and which
would turn trees into stone; the woods
were full of holes from which issued
streams of sulphur; there were canyons
of untold depth with walls of ashes full
of holes which let out steam like loco
motive. and there We're springs which
looked peaceful enough, but which at
times would burst like a bomb.
Every one laughed at Golfer and his
yarns, and this place was faIniliarly
known as Golfers HE'LL But for once
John Golfer told the truth, and the
truth could not easily be exaggerated.
But no one believed him. When others
who afterward followed him over the
