THREE AT A TIME
Riverside, San Bernardino and Sa

Riverside, San Bernardino and san
Diego Heard Yesterday.
Yesterday was the day on which River
side, San Bernardino ard San Diego
Counties were cited to appear and answer
questions before the State Board of
Equalization.
The Assessors of the three co unties, B.
Morse of Riverside, F. NJ. Johnson of
San Bernardino and G. II. Shepherd of
San Diego were present, and the various
valuations placed on lands in different
districts, the quality of lands set Oft in
Riverside County as compared with those
of the counties from which it was formed
was discussed, and comparisons made in
order TO judge as to the fairness of the
different assessments, as between the
counties, and also as compared with other
counties.
Mr.. Morse came up thoroughly pre-
pared TO answer questions, and although
Mr.. Beamer seemed to have all the prop
erty in Riverside at his tongues end and
to carry mental picture of it around
with him, Morse stood him off in good
shape, and was always ready with a
reason to back his judgment in the assess
ments.

A RARE 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 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 $50 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 fl We 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 per cent per annun
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 $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 SEQ to
500 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
accomplishment.
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
Element in smaller quantities and its devotion
to diligent husbandry.

dress WIN. H. MILLS.

him pretty close, showing that they were
well acquainted with the value Of the diff
ferent pieces of property. and the people
of the county are to be congratulated that
their Assessor was able to hold his own
as well as he did.
The fact was developed in the course of
the discussion that the Arlington Hotel,
a line large structure and with plenty of
room in it for all purposes needed, had
been secured by the newly-made county
for rental of $1,000.
If 1t can be secured for that price for
term OF years the county will not have to
go to the expense of building a court
mousse tor some years to come.
Mr.. johnson also had to run the gantlet
Of searching inquiry, and came through
the ordeal very well, although the assess
ments in Redlands and vicinity were
closely criticised.
ON Monday Butte and Yuba will have
a due share of attention paid to them.
Tomorrow the board will be in session
on routine business, no counties having
been cited for that day.

KNOWLEDGE

tends TO personal enjoyment when
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 value to health of the pure liquid

ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of a perfect lax

TO PLAY CRICKET.
A Proposition to Organize Two Clubs
in Sacramento.

A Proposition to Organize Two Clubs
in Sacramento.
A number of gentlemen of English
birth had an informal meeting yesterday
afternoon and discussed proposition to
establish two cricket clubs in Sacra-
mento. While there was no definite or
ganization, the concensus of opinion was
that the clubs should be formed, and
doubtless they will be shortly.
1t is not the intention of the projectors
to go into the cricket business for profit.
On the contrary, they only desire to af-
ford amusement and recreation for them
selves and friends, and now and then 10
play match games with the cricket clubs
of San Francisco, Oakland and others.
Five years ago cricket in California
was dead letter The few English resi-
dents of San Francisco who understood
or really were interested in the game had
until then signally failed to popularize it.
At that time, however, manly through
the efforts of few enthusiastic Austria
lians, resident in the city, the game got
fairly well started. The old Burnaby
Club, now out of existence, set the ball
a-going, and, being quickly followed by
the Alameda and Pacific Clubs, gave the
game a good start. Next year saw the
CALIFORNIA; organize, and through their
efforts the California Cricket Association
was formed, comprising themselves, the
Burnabys, Oaklands, Pacitics and Ala
medas, with w. Robertson as President.
Messrs. Nieman 81 Gates presented
handsome pennant for competition,
which was finally won by the CALIFORNIA;.
Last year, or rather season, the associa-
ton elected Greer Harrison its President.
That thorough sportsman, who was then
President Of the Olympic Club, presented
a massive silver cup for competition.
The Alamedas, CALIFORNIA;. Pacifics and
Oaklands, who had joined ranks with
the Burnabys, contested for its possession,
the former club winning rather easily,
but not without some very even and ex-
citing tussles, while the CALIFORNIA;, Pa
cities and Oaklands were the tail-enders.
There will be more competitions this fall.
and the Sacramentans hope to be in some
of them.

A BOILER EXPLOSION At La JuNTA
ENGINEER INSTANTLY KILLED.
Tho Electric Light Plant Completely
Wrecked and Other Buildings
Injured.

The citizens of La Junta were startled b.
tremendous explosion like an earthquake al
O'Clock on the evening OF the 10th.
Investigation showed that one of the bat
terry of two steam boilers at the electric light
plant had exploded, completely wrccking the
iron-clad building and sending the brick
casing flying hundreds OF feet In every dlrec-
ton, some OF them going through the win
dows and sides of frame cottages 200 feet
away. The big boiler went south through
the rear Of the building and struck one
story frame planning mill, going clear through
this building and landing in the street 1t
struck the heavy cast-iron planer and mash
ed 1t to the ground. This building was
seventy-tive feet in the rear of the other.
Charles Sheppard, the engineer, was the
only person around the plant at the time Of
the explosion. He was blown TO the north
ward quite distance, and was Just breathing
his last when found His clothing was
stripped of and his body badly mangled. He
was single man.
A boy, standing some 300 feet away, was
struck on the head with a brick and severely
SO far as known.
Eight men work In the planning mill, and
had the accident occurred an hour earlier.
most of them wStild have been killed. Sew
eral persons had visited the plant shortly be-
fore the explosion, and some were on the way
there at the time The big stone Touring
mill that stood about seventy-ave feet TO the
northeast, was damaged by the flying bricks.
The dynamos and engine are complete
wrecks. The loss will probably be $50, 600.
