Necessity for the Men Working Extra
Hours Per Day.
1t is the desire of the residents on K
street, from Second to Tenth, of the City
Trustees and of the contractor, to have
the laying OF the bituminous pavement
completed by the time the State Fair
opens. Hence it has been found necessary
to have the men engaged in the work put
in extra time.
The Federated Trades Council ap-
pointed committee to wait upon the
City Trustees and inquire why the men
were employed more than eight hours
day. esterday the committeeman called
on Trustees Green and Conklin Mayor

was explained to them.

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

The Pacific improvement Company has re-
Gently purchased twelve thousand ceres OF
land in the neart 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 12G, 16o and $50 acres.
The terms upon which these land 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.
c1paI is to be paid for three years, and then
the purchaser is to have five years in which to
pay i've 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 $40 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
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 resuit 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
tement in smaller quantities and its devotion
to diligent husbandry.

rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than Others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs Of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of a perfect lax
ative; efectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid

ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
