the site be secured for the hotel without
locking up large capital.
That this would be wise step on the
part of the city is not easily disputed.
Sacramento has several other public
squares that can be improved, and some
of which are now in better condition than
was the Plaza fifteen years ago. A good
hotel in that property is of greatly more
value to the people than is the Plaza.
Besides, within rifle shot of it is a park
OF greater beauty and six times the size.
We need hotel for Sacramento, to re-
move what SO many say is reproach to
us; that is, lack of accommodation of the
right order for the stranger. Against the
tables and conduct of the hotels existing
there is not complaint, but the structures
are not modern, and are in strong con-
trast to the modern hostleries of other
California cities. The structure to be
built here ought to have at least three
trontages, and the chief of them should
be to the east. 1t should be surrounded
by verandas, to keep the walls cool and
afford ample promenades; its office
should be in the center of the building,
that 1t may be retired and cool in sum-
mer and warm in winter. 1t should have
some open and well-kept grounds around
1t and court within, covered for winter
and capable of being opened in summer.
The building should be on grounds some
what elevated above the street level, and
1t should be reached at all points by stone
walks. 1t should not have doors open
ing to its main stairways and halls direct
upon the street to receive gests and Gre
ate draughts through its passages. Air
and sunlight should freely reach every
wall exterior and in the court. 1t should
be decently fitted with modern improve
ments and its upper floors reached by ell
evators. 1t ought to have within it large
concert hall, that will be a source of rev.
enue to the concern as well as of pleasure
to the guests. and it should be lighted by
electricity throughout, to conserve the
purity of the interior atmosphere.
Such hotel is need that the people
fully realize, and that it will be supplied
we believe. and one of the surest means
to that desired end is the use of the most
eligible spot for it as to locality and cost
the Plaza.

THE school scandal now agitating San

so to speak. The Grand Jury now in
session manifests disposition 10 bring
some of these charges, which have con-
tinued to this day, to the point of ex-
posure of the actual facts. Recent
declarations by applicants for positions
and by member of the Board of Educa-
tion, that offers of money have been
made for places, and that positions have
been secured by bribery, furnished the
basis upon which the jury is prosecuting
its inquiries. We have not much faith in
the ability of this or any jury to unearth
the truth sufficiently to give standing to
prosecutions-but the public hope is that
the facts will be laid bare and examples
be made of offenders.

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 Teha-la County. for tho
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 ana 32O acres.
The terms upon which these lands are offered
are especially attractive. They will be sold In
subdivisions, as above indicated, by the paw
ment OF interest only for three years, at which
time the purchaser can begin the payment Of
principal by paying the first OF we equal an
nual installments. Thus no part of the prin-
cipsl is TO be paid tor three years and then
the purchaser ts TO have five years in which to
pay hVe 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 eoud
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 an opportunity for
the purchase of good agricultural land at $50
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 q 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
tlement in smaller quantities and Its devotion
to diligent husbandry

TIE PROPOSED HOTEL.

The reasonableness of the proposition
of the RECoRD-UNIoN that the Plaza
ought to be selected for new hotel site
is unassailable. Assuming that site of
half a block, and not less will do, will.
within the desired boundaries, cost $780, =
coo: if that much money is expended for
it, it represents precisely that much more
fixed capital upon which the hotel must
earn interest, and to just that extent
weights the enterprise. But if the cost of
the site is eliminated by the use of the
Plaza, there will be by just that cost,
whatever it might be. that much more
security given for the investment of cap
ital to build and fit up the hotel and war;
rant first-class conduct of it.
The Plaza was given to the city for
park purposes. When these are violated
the property reverts. The reversionary
interest is not worth cent so long as the
city keeps the Plaza open as park-im-
proved or not. The reversionary inter
est, therefore, can be purchased for very
small sum by the hotel promoters. Then
the city can abandon the Plaza, and thus

came unpleasant to them when it was

the noise made by putting fuel on the
fire from a coal-box, recently gave vent
to an earnest prayer that some inventor
might be mercifully disposed to provide

like himself. A response to this appeal
is now recorded by the Chicago News
Record in the shape of an ordinary coal
box lined with linoleum aud falling on
projecting rubbers, so that no slamming
is possible. Even the shovel has its case
lined with felt, and is, therefore, lifted
out and replaced noiselessly.

A number of anecdotes have been told
of late of the famous old Kennebec lum-
herman, Boddsb, whose stentorian voice
resembled reverberatIng thunder and
could be heard distinctly "from Ken
dall's Mills bridge to Ticonic Falls" a
distance of two miles. An old-timer says
Bodish, who lived at Kendalls Mills,
though a rough man in his ways, had a
kind heart and gave aid to many poor
people he thought deserving. Once a
river driver was drowned at Kendall
Mills and Bod6sh having subscribed q
handsome sum himself to aid his family,
mounted a barrel beside the street, from
which he harangued the people in aid
of the sufferers. He laid down the rule
that no man should pass that day until
he had contributed, and in that way held
up travellers all day long, securing a con-
siderable amount by nightfall, when the
odd embargo was raised.-Lewiston
