LONDON, Dec. 1.-The GeogrdphicoL

cross the Arctic Ocean, and the Russian
Admiral Marakotf. In one OF these letters

islands, and signals and all other means
that may be helpful should be agreed

able to approach the coast l propose to

expedition will be placed. On top Of each

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 $40 per acre, in subdivisions Of
40, So 100, 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
Tins 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 installments, with in
terest at the rate of 7 per cent. per annum,
making payments extending over period of
eight years. Intending purchasers are az
sured that this is an opportunity to purchase
land of fair average quality at $40 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 $50 to
800 an acre. An examination of the land
subject of this advertisement will prove to
home-seekers that this is az 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 result 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 It's set
tlement in smaller quantities and its devotion
to diligent husbandry

TRANS-PACIFIC CABLE.
Proposed Routes From Vancouver to
Australia.


MONTREAL, Dec. 4.-The new proposal
of Sanford Fleming for a transPacific
cable. which he intends submitting to the
Canadian and Australian Governments,
contains four alternate routes, all of
which have Vancouver as the Canadian
terminus. The length of the shortest
route, including branches, will be 1924
and the longest {, ,264 nautical miles. The
cost OF the former is estimated at Il $780,
900 and the latter at 81, 325, 900. The pro-
posed rate of 2 shillings word for trans
mission over the new cable would re-
duce the rate between A ustralia and Eng
land to IS I'd word, instead of As Cd as at
present.
Assuming the fixed charge to be =el44, :
$50 year and the cable completed in
1897 Fleming estimates deficiency of
93l 900, $50, 900 and $4,000 for 1897, 1898
ana 1899, respectively. The fourth year
there would be a surplus of $4,000,
which will be increased gradually to
96O,O 900 in 1906. These figures also in
clude a provision fer extinguishing the
subsidies now paid.

Practically Rendered Nugatory by Or

KANSAS CITY (Mo.), Dec. A Times
Topeka special says: Governor Lewell-
ing has issued an extraordinary address
to all Boards of Police Commissioners in
Kansas, which practically renders nuga-
tory all vagrant laws. He criticises the
manner in which the existing laws are
being enforced upon the unemployed,
with regard to their being ordered to
leave town and move on. This, he says,
is violation of the right of personal
liberty guaranteed by the Constitution of
The United States. and there is no power
in legislative or city councils to deprive
people of this right. He regards the prac-
tice Of compelling vagrants to work out
fines in houses of correction as tlagrant
violation of the constitu tional provision,
and calls on Police Commissioners TO
carry out the spirit of these suggestions.

at that meeting where the said resolu-
tions were written. In the second place
a large minority If not a majority were
against having such resolutions pub
lished. Thirdly all those who are OPP
posed to the Building Trades Council
and the severals unions therein affiliated
are the very persons who fought against
the nine. hours until they were attracting
public ridieule but had to submit Let
those antagonistic contractors and also
the non-union men know that there are
fair minded employers in the different
building trades who have already told
their men that theyihad better join the
union to avaid any friction and the result
is that new members are added to the
different unions every week. In the
said resolutions the authors claim the
right of arranging wages and the hours
of labor forgetting that it takes two to
make bargain and that they hardly ever
get man to work for as little as they
would have him, especially union man.

JENKINS WAS IN PORTLAND.
FrIvate Secretary Hurd Was Looking For
Him.

L. B. Hurd, private secretary to Sun
erintendent Andrew Bunton of Manches-
ter, N. H., and who has charge of the
American Express Company's affairs in
that state, has been in town in quest of
George W. Jenkins, the defaultine
American Express Company's agent in
Portsmouth. jenkins was seen in this
city few days ago by Burt Doherty, a
Boston & Maine brakeman OF baggage
master. Jenkins called at the local
ticket Office and bargained for ticket
for Montreal. 1t is thought he is in that
city now.
The defaulter was short in his accounts
to the extent Of only about $500, but the
company's officials are anxions to have
his assistance in Strengthening out the
books. He has been in the company S
employ about 10 years, eight of which
was spent in Portsmouth. The officials
there say that domestic troubles had
something to do with his hasty depart
ure from Portsmouth.

The Gas Company,s Dividends.

To the Editor of the Press:
The dividends of the Portland Gas
Light Company for the past ten years,
which you gave in your editorial of the
18th, when presented in the aggregate,
make a truly colossal sum. The capital
stock of the company is S349,OO0 In
the municipal year 1884, an extra divi-
dend of SO per cent was made; in the
year 1S94-5, second one of 40 per cent;
in the year 1856, third one of 10 per
cent, making in all 106 per cent in extra
dividends or an aggregate in these years
of 1859. $40. In addition to this sum
there have been declared annual divi-
dends for the past ten years, free of all
tares, of'1O per cent, making 100 per cent
more, or $4,000. So that during the
last ten years the fortunate holders of
Portland gas stock have received in ex-
ira and regular dividends the sum of
seven hundred and eighteen thousand
nine hundred and forty dollars. But
this is not ALL In the year 1888, two
years after the last extra dividend, an
investigation of the affairs of the com
pany, by a committee of the city govern
ment, revealed the fact that the company
still had surplus of over $3.50, 900. show
ing that at the time the first extra divi-
dend was made the Portland Gas Compa-
ny must have held within it's capacious
treasury, stock, bonds, cash, ETC., etc., to
the amount of 5000, 000in round numbers
But this is not all. The investigation
now pending has gone far enough, as
public rumor has it, to show that the
surplus at the present time amounts to
$3.50, 900, or an increase of about 100000
in five years. We have used such figures
as the reticent directors of the company
have given us. If they are erroneous,
let the treasurer of the company correct
and make them clear.
1t must be some satisfaction to the long
suffering consumer, when he surveys the
gigantic bill of dividends paid by the
company to its stockholders, to learn, as
he may if he reads the annual report of
the directors, that the avhole sum has not
been extorted from him, but that it has
been derived largely from judicious in
vestments, etc. S.
