ARARE 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 Teha-aa 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 $50 per acre, in subdivisions OF
40, so, 120, 160 and 500 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 an
nual fnstailments. 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 i've equal annual installments, with in
terest at the rate Of 7 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 $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 friIit-growing. cannot be
had in California for less than from $50 to
SlOO 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, ana for qualities grading down tofair
agricultural land al SO an acre, on terms of
payment which should make the disposition
of these lands 10 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
tIement in smaller quantities and its devotion
to diligent husbandry.

Ono of the Great Dinners

Ono of the Great Dinners OF Venice.
Perhaps the most expensive banquet
ever given in Venice was that to Henry
I'll. of France. He was feasted in the
great hail OF the Doge's palace, and there
were silver plates for 5000 guests. At
another time the same monarch was en-
tertained at sugar banquet-the nap
kins, plates, knives, forks and even the
bread lso called were all of sugar. The
Venetians were nightly pleased when
Henry took his napkin i'll his hands and.
to his surprise, found that it broke to
pieces. At this feast 1850 different
dishes were served, and 800 sugar eftigies
were distributed among the ladies'

The Southern Pacific Company's Half
Million Dollars.
Frank Miller, President of the D. O.
Mills National Bank, was in San Fran
cisco on Saturday and brought back with
him about half a million dollars with
which to pay the current taxes for the
year 1893, due from the Southern Pacific
Company to the State. Mr.. Miller was
also authorized to make tender of
enough cash to cover the estimated in
debtednesS of the company to the State
on account Of the reassessment of unpaid
back taxes, provided for by an enact
ment by tbs last Legislature.
1t was the intention OF the company to
deposit certified check large enough to
make the State safe for the full amount
due, but as the State Treasurer announced
that he could not legally accept anything
except coin, the certified check PROPOSE
ton was abandoned.
According to the Examiner, =. b.
Ryan, the railroad company's tax agent,
said: There is no need of any talk about
complications and litigation. 1t is no
Southern Pacific Company and the State.
II is simply a matter of figures. The
company owes certain amount and is
ready to pay it as soon as an adjustment
can be reached. There is not the
slightest chance for any kind of dispute
and there will be no difficulty in making
the settlement. There may be delay Of

Notes From Some of the Interior
Ibaners of California.

Notes From Some OF the Interior
Papers of California.
Modesto Nel6s: 1t is not TO the credit of
a large per cent. OF The sensational metro
politan daily papers TO say that the very
object OF their supposed existence,
namely, to give the news, is becoming
less useful 10 the people every day. The
unreliable nature OF much OF the matter
published as news by them is causing
their readers everywhere 20 lose faith in
their statements published as news.
Especially is this the case where flaming
headlines and editorial comment are
used TO bolster up and justify falsehood.
Fresno E.CDOStOr: Fresno County has
never made any boast about her orange
groves, letting the northern and southern
citrus belts enjoy the privilege; but just
the same she will ship g dozen or more
carloads OF the golden globes TO market
his winter.
San Jose Record: The general tendency,
in all American communities of which
we have knowledge, is toward increasing
the cost of license to sell Intoxicating
liquors.
San Jose Herald: Politics should be
entirely ignored IS far as municipal
affairs are concerned, and good men OF all
parties should unite to elect the best men
in the community to all municipal Offices.
And this should be done not merely once
or twice, but every year. And candI-
dates should be chosen who are not only
honest and respectable, but who have the
courage to stand by their convictions OF
right and wrong, and 10 enforce the laws
and ordinances strictly and lnpartlally.
san Diego Union: There is unquestion
ably a desire generally felt for the im-
provement OF the highways, and this pup
lie sentiment would soon manifest itself
at the polls were an election to be hcid
for the purpose of determining the ssu-
ance OF bonds for this laudable object.
I Good roads are essential to the CONNER
cial development Of san Diego.
Petaluma Courier: Butte County ap-
pears to have become tired Of the en-
deavOr to keep its wagon roads in repair
by the usual method Of grading and
graveling alone, and has concluded to
adopt the plan Of sprinkling them under
the belief that it Will require much less
labor and expense to keep them in
serviceabe condition. With this view
the Board of Supervisors OF Butte County
have contracted for Z.00J feet OF tWo-inch
pipe to be used for such purpose, and the
experiment viii be given fair trial
Oakland Times: The fact that the two
most conspicuous pugilists in the world
are having Wearylng time finding
place where they may be permitted TO
fight with their lists, instead 81 fighting
with their mouths, as, unfortunately,
they may do any where. is not matter Of
regret. 1t is rather an indication that
pugilism is being discountenanced, and
that in time champion slOgger viii not
be able to make more money an
nually exhibiting himself than the Presi-
dent Of the United States receives for ad-
ministering the laws in the interest OF
