ST LOUIS WANTS A FAIR.
Celebration in 1908 of the Purchase of
the Territory of Louisiana.

Celebration in 1908 of the Purchase of
the Territory of Louisiana.
The year of 1908, just ten years hence,
VIII be the centennial of the purchase of
the territory of Louisiana in the adminis-
tratiOn of Thomas Jefferson, says the
Globe Democrat. That was one of the
greatest events in the entire history Of
the country. Its Tooth anniversary will
undoubtedly be observed in the same
way .that that of the declaration of inde-
pendence was, and that the 400th anni-
versary Of the continents discovery is.
1t would be difficult TO vereStimate the
mighty consequences of that tranSactlo II
in 1903 between the United States and
France. Along to that time the national
domain was virtually restricted to the
east side of the Mississippi River. The
Louisiana purchase extended 1t TO the
west of the Rocky Mountains, and at one
point to the Pacific.
In the original thirteen States and the
rest of the territory gained from England
III the war for independence there are
81, ,S44 square miles, in the domain which
Jefferson bought from Bonaparte there
are LII, 1888 square miles. This tract
comprises all or nearly all of the States of
Louisiana, Arkansas, Missouri, Iowa,
North Dakota, Montana, Wyoming,
Idaho, Oregon, Washington and part OF
Colorado, with Oklahoma and the Indian
Territory. In this region there were
more than 12,0G0 600 inhabitants in 1890,
or four times as many as there were in
the original thirteen States at the time of
the revolution.
The Louisiana acquisition centennial
will be appropriately observed. There
will be a Worlds Fair like that which
was held in Philadelphia in 1876 and like
the one which is now under WaV in Chi
cago, and it will take place in st. Louis.
This is not only the largest city in the re-
gion purchased, but it is nearer the geo.
graphical center of the country than any
other important town. The centennial is
only ten years away, and four or five
years hence the work Of actual prepara-
ton for the affair will have to be begun.
But even in this short time the country
will make great advances III population
and wealth. The advances in the region
comprised in Jefferson's great purchase
will be particularly rapid and important.
We must make the 1903 celebration
Worthy of the grand event which it is in
tended to commemorate.

Electric Ambulance.

An electric ambulance is the latest de-
velOpment in st. Louis. 1t will be as
swift and reader than vehicle drawn by
horses, and will be given right of way by
the street-car companies. In some cities
the electric street railways want to un-
dertake the carriage of the city scaven-
glng, and there seems no reason why
they should not do the work WELL In
Ottawa the street railway has offered to
carry the mails between the depots and

was coming when a citizen would have
to take an electric ride out into the coun-

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 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 $50 per acre, in subdivisions Of
40, so, 120, 160 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 five 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 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 $40 per acre,
and good agricultural land at $40 acre,
with other grades Of land at prices to corre-
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 $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
lor ha hroo Iii
holding for the purpose of promoting its set
tlement in smaller quantities and its devotion
to diligent husbandry.

way Of the narrow, devious channel of Core
Sound. The vessel bumped along for twenty
five or thirty miles and at last grounded

an old negro in dngout canoe came up and

A NATIONAL GAME PRESERVE.
The FiShermen's and Hunters Ell
Dorado Around the Eagle Waters.
American Angler


In the lakes of nearly all the chain known
as the Eagle Waters we found large and
small mouthed black bass. pike perch, rock
bass and pike in great abundance, with no
scarcity Of muscalong. The shores were
fairly overcrowded with game the common
red deer being particularly abundant.
/ remember one afternoon when lying In
my hammock under the shade of giant
pine which reared itself sentinel~like from
little knoll in the center of a small island,
while awaiting the retura of my companion
from our fortnightlY pilgrimage to the post
Office, some sixteen miles distant, | counted
niue deer standing almost shoulder deep in
the water around the edge of the lake,
where they had been driven by the myriads
of mosquitoes and flies that swarm In the
dense underground near the shores of these
waters.
One of the peculiarities of this region is
the annual migration of the deer, which
takes place soon after the first snow, and
by the middle of winter hardly single
specimen will be found in a weeks hunt.
The land adjacent TO Lake Superior, about
twenty-five To thirty miles distant. is their
winter plng-ground. and 10 this change
of habitat the increase of game in the Eagle
Waters is undoubtedly due. as the deer re-
turn to the lake every spring and bring forth
their young In the seclusion and safety af-
forded by the Impenetrable brush OF this
section. Tie close observance of the game
laws By the natives, or rather their appar-
ent indifference TO shooting them, Is also
factor ID their increase.
