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 $40 per acre, in subdivisions of
40, so, 100, 16O 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 tor three years, and then
the purchaser is to have i've years in which to
pay five 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 $40 per acre,
and good agricultural land at $40 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 500 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 $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 its set
tlement in smaller quantities and its devotion
to diligent husbandry.

4 LESSON IN PATRIOTISM.

We can not too heartily commend the
action of Prof. Pratt, principal of our
public schools, in setting aside last Fri
day afternoon as halliday of exercises
intended to incite patriotic thoughts and
enthuse his pupils with a desire to know
more of the history of this grand repub-
lie whose pages are illumined with glori-
Gus deeds and great achievements
history of unse1fsh acts and noble sacri-
fees. 1t was an afternoon pregnant with
incidents of the valor and thrilling deeds
of that organization whose annals form
more inspiring pages in history than those
of any other, in any age since time began
the Grand Army of the Republic.
Such incidents as awaken patriotism
and enthusiasm are those which are
most worthy of preservation, and
the influences they have upon the
imaginative and generous minds of
the young are incalculable. And what
place so fit to teach these lessons of bl oad-
minded patriotism, and fire the mind of
young with lofty pride at the accomplish
ments of the heroic and loyal, and with
bitter contempt for the intrigues of the
mean, and coWardice of the time-serving,
than in our public schools1 Gen. Gage
said, when the independent and fearless
Boston boys rebelled at the insults and
slurs of the English soldiers: 'It is i'm
possible to beat the notion of liberty out
of people who had it planted in them
from childhood"
Give us people inspired with that
patriotism that makes them shed passion
ate tears over the memory of Lincoln, and
whose soul thrills at the toast, 'Our Flag"
Let them be i1nbued with the spirit of
lofty and broad-rninded civisrn that rises
above love of sect, and fidelity to party.
Let it be the patriotism of the warrior
statesman, John A. Logan, who said in
congress: 81 have been taught to believe
that the preservation of this glorious
Union, with its broad flag waving over us
as shield for our protection on land or
sea, is paramount to all the parties and
platforms that ever have existed, or ever
can exist. would today, if I had the
power, sink my own party and every
other one with all their platforms into the
vortex of ruin, without heaving a sigh or
shedding a tear, to save the Union"
Again we say, Mr.. Pratt's example is
most worthy of emulation.

done, every credit pnt upon one side and
every property deduction upon the other,
don't every sane man know that the two
must balance, and nothing remains to levy
tax upon.
Why pile up inquisitoral statutes? Why
keep officers employed? Why spend time
and money in putting upon the tax books,
things which can never yield cent of reve-
nue.? And further, is it reasonable to sup
pose that any merchant or tradesman will
give in to the assessor all of his notes and
accounts? Not at all. The assessor can
have no means of knowing " which are good
! or which bad, and it is not supposable that
man is to be compelled to pay tax upon
insolvent accounts. At the. best, the asses.
sor can do no other way than to take the
merchant's Judgment as to the cash value
of his credits, and under the present ciroum-
stances of hard times, low prices for all
kinds of produce. frequent assignments of
| supposedly solvent debtors, and the home
stead exemption law, would not the mer-
chants estimate be safely conservative?
Moreover, notes and accounts are negotia-
BILE, and how is debtor to know by whom
he ls to be reimbursed for the tax he pays
on account of his debt? All these objec-
tions stand in the way of the execution of
the scheme prevalent in the minds of many
citizens who have not got over thinking that
there is necessity or equity in taxing
credits.
Let us quit trying to do an impracticable
and wholly useless thing. Nobody is bene-
fitted by it; and the state can get nothing
out of it. Tax tangible property, and this
includes money when we can find it.

THERE is noEmore popular republican
in Oregon today than Hon. w. P. Lord.
There is no man in whom the people
have more confidence. He is neither a
radical, nor fanatic in his policy of gov.
ernment He is not subservient to the
dictates of any ring, clique or cabal.
He is man that could be heartily sup
ported by all factions of the republican
party-if we have factions. His utter
ances on the financial question have
been sensible and moderate. His tariff
views are sound and ultra-American. In
short, he would make an ideal candidate,
and the ideal senator. The republican
party owes nothing to Mr.. Dolph; it
owes to itself, and to the people, the cleo
ton, if not of Mr.. Lord, at least of man
as competent and unobjectionable. Can
such an one be found?

The Lincoln Leader says it is informed
that strong combination Is being formed
against Senator Do1ph. This IS mis-
take. The only combination visible re-
garding the election of U. S. senator is
one formed some time ago by the bosses
to keep Dolph in Office. The opposition
to him, which is every day growing more
apparent comes from the people who,
being oppressed by hard times, have no
time to lay their heads together to make
combinations. Those with proclivities
for forming combinations will stick to
Dolph, because many of them are reap
ing rewards from his stewardship, in the
shape of fat Offices and soft jobs, while
opposition to him will he pressed upon
the legislature by the people, who are
dissatisfied with his attitude on many sub
jects of vital Importance to them. This
opposition will not be disclosed by the
bosses of rings, cliques or corporations,
but will be the earnest, outspoken senti-
ment of large majority of those whose
votes elected our legislators.

WE SHALL SEE.

Twelve years have elapsed since Do1ph
promised the jubilant representatives
of the people at Salem that he would dis
pose of his interests in the corporation
which held monopoly of the Columbia
river, and labor to remove the obstruc-
tions at the Cascades and Cello. Twelve
weary years have rolled away. Twelve
times has the virgin soil of our Inland
Empire poured bounteous harvest into
the capacious lap of our pet corporation.
Small boys have grown to be men; little
girls have become mature matrons, and
with wearied brows aud hardened hands,
have taken their places upon mortgaged
farms as life partners of farmers who are
til1ing the soil of our Inland Empire to
satisfy corporate greed.
We are told to have patience. We are
advised to be cautious. We are reminded
that liberal appropriations have already
been made for these improvements; and
through Do1ph's efforts they were secured.
Some one whispers in our ear that four
ffths. of all these appropriations have
been entirely wasted, and that our great
river is no nearer being freed from cor
porate control than twelve years ago.
We are 1edto exclaim with Patrick Henry,
"Wi11 it be next week or will it be next
yearl' Shall we estimate the value of a
senator by the amount of money he has
thrown into the Columbia river? How
long can the overburdened farmer of
Eastern Oregon hold out? Is it believed
he can exist twelve years more while the
senator completes his record? We shall
see.

CROOK OPPOSES TT.

For two months the GAZETTE has ad-
vocated the appropriation of SIC, 1000 by
the next legislature for the purpose OF
| constructing wagon road from the east
ern terminus of the Oregon Pacific into
Eastern Oregon. Correspondence with
number of prominent legislators has
developed the fact that they recognize
the importance of the measure and many
of them are willing to support it. Now,
when the enterprise gives promise of
ultimate success, the Prineville Review,
a paper published in the county to be
most benefited by the wagon road, comes
out in a column and half editorial, and
says in effect tn at the road is not a neces-
sity, and that Eastern Oregon will posi-
lively not assist in securing the appropri-
alton. This proves what has often been
said of that section: 1t is unprogressive
and unenterprising; settlement and de-
velopment of the county is undesired, as
it would be detrimental to the interests
of the few men that control the industry
of stock raising, and have become
wealthy by pasturing their immense herds
on the unsettled lands of Uuc1e Sam
without cost If residents of Crook
county are opposed to plan that will be
of immense advantage to them, as we'll
as to the entire state, why, of course,
there is no need for the GAZETTE to
longer advocate the measure. True
enough, times are hard and the 1egisla-
ture will be expected to practice the
most rigid economy. Because the last
legislature was extravagant with the
public money, it is no reason why the
next one should go to the other extreme
and be parsimonious. Economical and
judicious expenditure of state funds for
the benefit of the general public is what
the people expect. To sacrifice the pub
lie welfare by withholding necessary ap-
preparations is in no sense economy, but
parsimony, or what is usually considered
niggardliness. The GAZETTE is now
and has been opposed to extravaganza
and is an earnest advocate of economy
on all lines but considers its advocation
of the appropriation in question strictly
in accord with its policy. However, if
Crook county is opposed to the wagon
road, the GAZETTE will not longer seek
to force such a beneficial enterprise upon
her, and hurnbly opologizes for what has
already been accomplished in her behalf.
